Note: There may be alternate forms of "credit" for Content badges. See the undetermined section.
Note:Any /check status other than Glowing may be unreliable. If you are reporting a lower status than you should be(faint, strong, etc), do not be concerned, you will still glow once you finish up everything.
Note: Once you are glowing you will be visited eventually by the old man. The devs are trickling out old man visits to avoid crashing Dathomir. If you are glowing and not yet visited, you are not bugged. You will be visited. You may have to wait a few days.
1) Event badges, Theed librarian, race track badges, CoA badges, CSR granted badges, and Mark of the Hero badges *all* seem to have no impact towards getting glowy. It is possible they may, but if they do their weight is so low that it just hasn't shown up in the reported data.
2) Credit by having large numbers of professions is unknown and not Garanteed. If you have 21 professions, every poi, and a ton of other badges but are not glowing, then you still need to meet the requirements listed in this guide. If you glow without having everything here because you had a ton of holo professions and/or regular professions, congrats But don't count on professions alone ensuring you glowing.
3) This guide is to make sure you glow. If you find a garanteed, reproducable alternative to this method, let me know and I'll add it into the guide. As far as anyone has determined, however, there appears to be no alternate system to glowing, only potential alternate badge "credit" as discussed in the undetermined section of the guide.
9 Corvette Badges(Rebel, Neutral, Imperial missions. 3 for each faction
so if I am KOS at nyms
and KOS at The imp theme park
and didnt get the imp hero badge because i am a rebel and didnt want to get a imperial badge
and am not in a circle of leet friends that can complete any part of the vette...
ill never get the force?
*shrug* I don't know. As I said there may be other Content Badge options(professions, badgeless themeparks like the Nightsister Stronghold and Marauder Stronghold, etc.). But, there isn't enough information from players yet to say for sure.
If you find another option for a content badge that isn't on this guide, post it. If it can be confirmed, I'll add it into the guide. As of right now, however, the only for sure known options are the ones listed in the guide.
well i had a faint feelin of the force or whatever, i had 2 warren badges, nyms and rebel, and the jedi ones and such that are listed, i completed jabbas theme park and it now says i feel an inner glow, teh force is with me

I think the problem with /check not always reporting correctly until you "glow" has to do with how your force status is increased.
It seems that you advance in /check force status any time you meet a "milestone". Like the first time you visit a difficult POI, that is a milestone and thus would increase your force status.
The problem here seems to be that existing characters who have already met some of the milestones, may not get the /check status advancement associated with it.
So, for example, /check might not notice you had already visited a difficult POI prior to publish 10 and thus reports a lower status than you should have.
But, when you meet all the requirements, you glow regardless and /check updates appropriately to show you as glowing.
This isn't a problem for new characters, just seems to be a minor transition bug that a hotfix will likely cover. As long as you remember /check isn't reliable unless it says you are glowing, there isn't really a problem.
By the way, for those curious, the Force Status levels are:
No sense
Barely Sense
Faint Sense
Strong Sense
Surging
Glowing
You may skip some levels as you advance, but you'll still glow in the end so don't worry

I have all 45 POI badges, 7 professions, 3 'vette badges and jabba theme park, /checkforcestatus says I barely feel anything different, does this mean that when i finish the rebel theme park I will jump straight to glowy?
But don't count on professions alone ensuring you glowing.
