Tips for New SWTOR Players

Star Wars: The Old Republic is an incredibly fun game to get into. The cutscenes are some of the best you’ll find in any online game, and the class stories will take you on a journey to a long, long time ago, set in a galaxy that exists thousands of years before the Star Wars movies take place. In the game you can play as one of eight classes, each one with a unique story and combat style, that range from the clever and cunning Imperial Agent to the noble and powerful Jedi Knight. Whether you’re new to online gaming or have more experience, if you enjoy Star Wars, I would definitely recommend trying out Star Wars: The Old Republic. If you’re looking to get into the game, here are some new player tips that are great for newbies and returning players.

Yea, that happens with SWTOR dialogue sometime
Option reads "I'll help you"
Dialogue says "I'll help you---die faster" as you forgot to check the alleigance.

Thank you for everything you do. As an original player back in 2011, I've taken years of breaks from this game, and you have made it easy for me to understand the changes that have happened while I was gone.

For the new players, with companions you’ll mainly want to use your companion as a healer, but sometimes it is best switching them to tank when you are fighting a strong solo enemy. The enemy’s focus will revert to your companion instead of you.

Definitely choose a stealth class as your second "Style". SWTOR has a lot of nuisance mobs that will waste your time with meaningless fights and it's hard to avoid them without stealth. Avoiding these encounters really helps keep the game enjoyable

This REALLY made the game seem far less intimidating. Ive loved KOTOR ever since it came out in 2003, and I’ve always wanted to experience the story of SWTOR, but couldn’t get into the MMO style of gaming. My character in SWTOR sat at level 2 for years until I watched this. Now in 2 days I’m at level 15 and progressing quickly! Not only has this helped me understand and be able to experience SWTOR, but it’s helped me become interested in MMOs ❤ thank you so much for this tutorial!!

It's so awesome that SWTR still have new players every day and even more awesome seeing Veterans playing after all this years and updating guides for the new players ❤️‍🔥 pls don't let this community die

I bought this game back in 2010, honestly thought I’d never play it kinda got over hyped by the trailers.

But have recently fallen in love with it, and have been playing almost nonstop since.

[Igfer]

Thank you for your work in the SWTOR community, much appreciated!

[Ezera]

Coming back to the game after not playing for about 7 years. It's still so much fun and I'm REALLY thankful for all your contributions. Especially armors, mounts, and stronghold info. I'm hoping to find a community and learn... there's so much content and I don't know much!

[Wintermist-SWE]

Old player here and just wanted to say that yeah, this is a game worth playing for the stories alone, even as a single-player experience.

Some other nice tips I have found useful are: You can take the shuttle to fleet as soon as level 7, and the Crafting Mission there will get you level 8 or close to it. You can also visit the Adaptive Gear Vendor (Supplies Section) there and buy/start to buy already modded armor sets/weapons (roughly 2k credits, if I recall, for everything). I would also recommend people sub even once, because while subbed, you can make classes with those "locked" races first, and then you can keep playing them even after the sub ends, which makes it easier to unlock them for your Legacy.

Last time I played SWTOR was when companions had their own gear and had to mod them out so it's been a hell of a return. Thank you for the vid <3

[chrisperry]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for clearly articulating important key words. I can tell the effort you put behind your pronunciations and cadence to make us audiophiles who learn from listening rather than watching so happy!!!

[TheRiddick]

I honestly don't know what I would have done without Swtorista! Your tutorials are the best out there! Very informative and easy to follow your instructions. I've watched others and I get lost in over information or over descriptions. I just started last month, don't know why it took me so long haha, I love star wars! But anything I have had questions on or needed to search for answers I have found on your YouTube and your awesome webpage! Thank you so much for your hard and dedicated work!

[jrrevolution]

even if you're a long time player, surprising what we might not know or have forgotten. thanks for the tips!

[GameolioDan]

Top tips Swtorista! I haven't really had a good look through all the achievements. That's something I'd like to explore a little further. Cheers! :)

[TMORAF]

Star wars has helped me greatly with my depression latley. I'll reffer to this guide and you websites to me and my friends if I need it in the future.

[IcyBloodFyre]

I'm a returning player as well and had no idea where my crafting materials had gone, but you revealed that secret to me! Thank you so much for all your guides, I've watched plenty by now!

[Darkelf]

Hi, I am a returning player from many years ago. Lots has changed. Thank you for, without a doubt, the most comprahensive guide for new players (and me) lol. Glad to be back, lots to do now.

[Jackyl]

I'm giving the game a real shot for the first time now, and your videos have been a wonderful help. Thank you!
