will magically create light! When riding a vehicle, you will create
a very large light allowing you see far into the distance. Riding a
creature mount is the same way. If you're simply walking around, your
light will be smaller, but you can atleast see the ground in front of
you as well as your character!
8. is there an easier way to track my EXP?
A. Yes. Open up the skills tab (ctrl and s) and click the checkbox that
says to show the exp monitor. You can have up to 8 exp monitors at
once.
9. How do I hide the interface?
A. Press ctrl, shift, and H at the same time. Press it again to make the
interface return.
10. Is there a way to see my name above my character?
A. Press ctrl and 1 at the same time. To make it go away, click anywhere
on the screen or target another person/monster/object.

COMBAT FAQ

1. What's the deal with 3 health bars?
A. In SWG, you have 5 stats. Use the chart below as a key.
_________________________________________________________________________
/ COLOR | NAME | DESCRIPTION OF STAT \
---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| RED | HEALTH | This is your health. Just like other games, if |
| | | run out of this stuff, something bad will happen.|
| | | Unlike other games, this does not mean death. |
| | | Rather, you are simply knocked out. From here, |
| | | the enemy can deathblow you, which does mean the |
| | | end (death), or it can simply leave you as is. |
| | | If the latter happens, after a short while you |
| | | will get up with 1 health. Let it recharge and |
| | | you are good as new! |
| | | |
| | | |
| GREEN | ACTION | The primary ability stat. Each time you use a |
| | | combat ability, this gets drained. It recharges |
| | | quickly, allowing you to do more abilities. |
| | | |
| | | |
| BLUE | MIND | This is your non-combat ability stat. If you |
| | | heal, craft, or entertain, this is drained a |
| | | slightly. Some combat abilities use this as well|
| | | but that is uncommon. |
| | | |
| | | |
| N/A | WOUNDS | If you are killed and spawn at a cloning center |
| | | you did not clone at, you will suffer wounds. |
| | | These are limitations on your health pool, temp. |
| | | making your maximum health go down by the amount |
| | | of wounds you have. Only a doctor and Jedi can |
| | | heal wounds directly, but wounds will slowly heal|
| | | over time... just VERY slowly. |
| | | |
| | | |
| N/A | B. FATIGUE | Battle fatigue is acquired by simply fighting. |
| | | Each time you are hurt or hurt something else, |
| | | your fatigue goes up. This has no direct affect |
| | | on you. However, it does make buffs last shorter|
| | | and it makes poisons/diseases you have picked up |
| | | do more damage. Also, it decreases the amount of|
| | | health when a medic/doctor heals you. It also |
| | | greatly slows the wound healing process, be it |
| | | natural, through medicine, or through the force. |
| | | To remove fatigue, simply watch an entertainer |
| | | dance or play music. |
| | | |

2. Is armor worth it?
A. It depends on if you are willing to take the consequences. Armor gives
you obviously a protection barrier against attacks. However, it also
slows your movement, makes it harder to aim, and slows your rate of fire
or attack. As you level up, these hinderances slowly go away, but never
completely. However, a maximum level player will find it more beneficial
to deal with the hinderances and equip the armor, as the hinderances
do not outweigh the reward. But, a newer player might have far more
difficulty using armor effectively.
3. I can't equip this one weapon!
A. All weapons have a level requirement. If you are not the right combat
level, you can't use the weapon. Also, some weapons require training
in a specific skill. For example, to use a flame thrower, you must train
in the Commando Skill "Incediary weapons: The Flame Thrower."
4. I'm weak, where should I attack enemies?
A. My recommendation is to grind outside of a tatooine city. Mos Entha
and Mos Espa are deserted by veteran players since there is nothing good
for strong people. This is great though, as newbies will be right at
home. There are plenty of crafting stations and trainers, and at
every exit there are swarms of non-aggressive easy enemies. Until a
player reaches the novice of his or first elite profession, he or she
should spend all their time in these cities.
5. I'm strong. Where should I attack enemies?
The best place to find a group is always the Mining Outpost on Dantooine.
Dantooine is the official grinding planet since everything gives good
exp. The loot and resources usually suck, though.
6. What is slicing and why is it so important?
A. Slicing is an easy and permanent way to increase the stats of a weapon
or piece of armor. Unlike power-up items, slicing affects never go
away. UP to a 30% increase in power can happen, but only to one stat.
You can't slice a weapon/armor more than once, either.
However, slicing has a consequence for its awesome benefit of being
permanent. Slicing is considered to be "contraband" by the Empire. If
you are a risky smuggler that avoids the empire's checkpoints, you have
no worries. However, if you are a clumsy ditz that gets trapped in a
checkpoint and the empire sees you have contraband (which includes spice
as well), multiple things can happen.
1. If you are part of the rebellion, you will be attacked immediately.
Unless you are extremely strong, your only chance of surviving a
whole squadron of Imperial storm troopers is running.
2. If you are neautral and not on either side, you will have to pay
a fine. If you can't pay the fine, you will have to fight!
3. If you are part of the empire, two things can happen. If you are
low ranking, you can lose some faction points for going against
the empire and sometimes be fined. If you are high ranking, those
low ranking stormtroopers can't order you around! You can freely
use all the contraband you want!
7. What's the point of cloning or insuring items?
A. Cloning has many benefits and should NEVER be forgotten. In fact, only
a fool forgets to clone. Whenever you got a new city, always clone at
the place. When you are killed, you spawn at the last place cloned, or
at the nearest cloning center if you haven't cloned on the planet.
Cloning prevents you from receiving wounds from death. You can still
pick a few wounds as certain deathblowing moves cause wounds as well
regular abilities. If you didn't clone, the actual death would add
even more wounds onto those wounds!
Insuring adds another benefit. Your items also have "health." It is
called durability. If the durability reaches 0, you can't use that item
anymore. Only useable items have durability, not resources, schematics,
etc. Weapons, armor, and clothing are the biggest targest of decay.
Decay is the official word for losing durability. Decay happens slowly
from use, but dying without insuring multiplies decay. The only way
to fix decay is to use a repair kit, which can fail and completely ruin
all durability of the item, sometimes destroying it completely! So,
always insure the items that are too expensive to replace. Don't insure
items that don't suffer decay or are easy to replace. Simple as that.

CREATURES FAQ
.__________________________________________.
1. How many pets can I have?
A. You can have as many pets, droids, and faction soldiers as you want, but
you can only have 3 pets out, 3 faction soldiers, and 1 droid out at a
time. Otherwise, you can simply swap your helpful little buddies in and
out at anytime using your datapad.
2. What pets can a non-creature handler use?
A. Anything that has a creature level lower than 10. This is basically a
mount or a very very weak combat creature.
3. Are droids worth the money?
A. Droids are constantly going up and down in value. Currently, droids can
serve multiple purposes. Depending on the time and latest patch, these
purposes can be more or less useful. Droids can:
1. Heal people. If you have a medical droid and you are a doctor, you
can heal outside of a medical center. This is convenient for long
trips.
2. Entertain people. If you are an entertainer and want to earn some
extra cash, send out your entertainer droid. It will add extra
points to your entertaining ability, speeding up the whole process.
People like speedy trips and will pay extra for that!
3. Storage. Your bank, house, space ship, and inventory can only hold
so much! Droids have an inventory as well, bigger droids hold more
obviously. So pick up a droid for an extra inventory in the field.
4. Advertisement. If you are a merchant and want to attract attention
to your store, put a droid at a busy starport or shuttleport. The
droid will say your advertisement every half-minute or so, getting
the message out!
5. Combat. This is controversial as droids fighting capabilities are
always going up and down, but sometimes you can find a good fighter
to help out. Unlike creatures, anyone can use a droid, so if you
want a partner without investing in creature handler, pick up a
combat droid.
4. How about faction pets? Should I spend my FP on them?
A. Only after you get the armor. For Imperials, AT-ST's are worth a shot.
The troopers (storm troopers or rebel troopers) are also helpful. If
you get specialized ones (like desert troop or swamp trooper) and use it
on the appropriate terrain, the trooper will get a bonus to his attack.
It's nice to have if you've been ambushed by the opposing faction.
Faction troopers are also great when your friends aren't online. They
are in most cases stronger than pets and droids (except for say a rancor)
and don't eat up your EXP. You get all the benefits for the kill, EXP
and loot. Creatures on the hand will take up some EXP and turn it into
creature handler exp.
So in the end, its a trade off. Creatures can be stronger but less
beneficial while grinding. Faction pets and espessially droids can be
weaker, but have no consequence for being used.
5. Are pets worth it if you're a melee fighter?
A. Yes. Many creatures will target a pet before the melee fighter. Some
pets even use the "taunt" skill occassionally, diverting the enemies
attention onto it, rather than you!

CRAFTING FAQ

1. I got a critical failure... what is that?
A. It's not an error in the game, that's for sure. But, it is something
annoying the devs implimented. When you're crafting an item, you'll
notice the complexity of the item. That's the percentage of how many
times this item will fail to be made.
***NEW: High fail items are risky to craft. Want to lower that risk? Buy
some clothing or armor with [craft] assembly bonus. Such as, a PA hall
is insanely risky to make, thus be sure to have some equipment that
bonuses your architect assembly skill.
***NEW: A recent update has made critical failures less evil. Now you won't
