STAR WARS™: The Old Republic™ News

Feast of Prosperity Date: November 1st - November 29th, 2022 (BEGINS AND ENDS AT 5:00AM PST/12:00PM GMT)
Requirement: Level 20+

Over the years, the Hutt Cartel’s reputation has taken a hit. The once powerful organization no longer instills respect and fear. To restore the Cartel’s influence, two up-and-coming Hutts, Gaboorga the Abundant and Duuba the Magnanimous, are throwing the most lavish “charitable banquet” in history for the galaxy’s underprivileged. And if the Cartel happens to advance their business interests during the Feast, everyone wins!

If Gaboorga and Duuba can cooperate, they could rocket the Cartel back into the upper echelons of the galactic underworld. But the Hutts’ conflicting priorities means they’re constantly undermining each other. Each week a new Story Mission will unlock to progress this storyline, leading to the climatic choice during the third and final week: Gaboorga or Duuba? Only one Hutt can win, and the fate of the Feast of Prosperity is at stake. Choose wisely!

For players that participated in the event when it previously ran, you'll be able to immediately jump into the Daily Missions and mini-games! If this will be your first time experiencing the event, each week a Story Mission will unlock - progressing the conflict between Gaboorga and Duuba.

The third season of Galactic Seasons begins now! Like the previous editions, players will be able to progress through two different tracks: the Free Reward track or the Subscriber Reward track. Subscribers will have access to both tracks as they progress through the Season. Players can progress through these reward tracks by completing Daily and Weekly Season Objectives.



Compared to the previous seasons, a few changes have been implemented. First, the number of Tech Fragments available on the Free Reward track has been increased to 3500 Tech Fragments. Additionally, we’ve rebalanced the Cartel Coins granted through the track. Specifically, players will now receive 2,000 Cartel Coins (half of the amount available in previous seasons) AND 8 Classic Cartel Crates and 5 Ultimate Cartel Packs. The combined value of these rewards will be comparable to the previous seasons’ potential rewards of 4,000 Cartel Coins. As a reminder, the packs and crates themselves will be Legacy Bound and not tradeable on the GTN; however, all of the contents ARE tradeable, giving you greater flexibility over the rewards you receive!

In addition to the changes listed above, we’ve also added new creature and vehicle mounts, weapons and armor sets, and decorations in the Season rewards. More information about those rewards can be found in the Seasonal Rewards section.

During the “Luck of the Draw” season, players can obtain a new companion, PH4-LNX (or “Fay”), a Croupier Droid. This droid, designed for strategic analysis and tactical planning in complex battlefield scenarios, was “acquired” by a galactic high-roller obsessed with competitive gaming. After sweeping all of the gaming tournaments from Nar Shaddaa to Coruscant, this droid is now looking to buy her way out of servitude. Will you bet on her success?



Reputation track: Gambling Authority and Management Entity (G.A.M.E.)

We’ve introduced a new reputation track with the third season! Players will progress through the Gambling Authority and Management Entity (G.A.M.E.) reputation track by gathering G.A.M.E. Analysis Modules, which are obtainable by completing Season Objectives, group content, and defeating enemies around the galaxy.

Players who wish to increase their chances of receiving G.A.M.E. Analysis Modules from defeated enemies can turn in Jawa Junk to an Informative Jawa in the Cartel Bazaar on the Imperial and Republic Fleets. Doing so will earn players a temporary bonus to all G.A.M.E. Analysis Modules drop rates from defeated enemies.

To give players the opportunity to unlock all of the Reputation track Achievements, this new reputation track is now tied to the Companion instead of the Season, allowing players to progress through the Reputation track, even after the end of the season. Players who complete the Reputation track while the Season is active will unlock a special Achievement!

FAQ

How much can I level up PH4-LNX?
With all of the Companion gifts available in the two reward tracks, Subscribers who reach level 100 on the reward track will be guaranteed to have PH4-LNX at Rank 50 Influence by the end of the Season.

I got PH4-LNX to Rank 50 Influence on my main character, but what about leveling her on other characters?
If you are a Subscriber, you will be eligible to earn 2 Czerka Corporation Compendiums through the Subscriber Reward Track! Just like a Commander’s Compendium, this item can be used to instantly raise PH4-LNX’s Influence to Rank 50. Additionally, once you have reached Rank 50 Influence with PH4-LNX, you will unlock a new Legacy Unlock that allows you to purchase PH4-LNX’s companion gifts with Credits. Visit Jaleit Nall, located in the Galactic Seasons alcove on the Fleet, to purchase the gifts.

How can I level PH4-LNX outside of Galactic Seasons?
Just as with other Companions, sending PH4-LNX on Crew Skill missions will increase her Influence. Additionally, the Commander’s Compendium will also increase her influence to Rank 50.
