2 "Difficult" POI (Ancient Krayt Skull (-4645 -4358) Tatooine, Krayt Graveyard (7456 4528) Tatooine, Great Pit of Carkoon (-6183 -3356) Tatooine, Fort Tusken (Pool in the Caves) Tatooine, Lesser Sarlacc Pit (-2091 3137) Dathomir
After you feel an inner glow (/checkForceStatus will tell you "You feel an inner glow. The Force is with you.") you will be visited by the Old Man within about three days, just wait for him. You must converse with him and he won't wait around forever, so don't be in any long combat scenarios, nor go AFK. Just wait anywhere but an NPC city. That's right, keep waiting, resist the urge to post here about it, just have some patience. He'll talk to you and give you a force crystal (which is a journal).
Now you're waiting for a Sith attack, once again it will happen within about three days. They attack, you kill them. Do not loot them until they're both dead. Then loot them. You're hoping to get a Sith Datapad. If you don't get it, don't worry, just wait and they'll attack again. The datapad you loot from them will give you a Sith Camp WP with four Sith Shadows, kill them and you'll loot "a mysterious Datapad" which will direct you to the Village.
Step 3) The Village
You can only do one quest per phase, doing a quest unlocks a branch. You must train 6 branches to finish the Village. Unlocking is Phase dependent, training is NOT, you don't have to do it in the same phase you unlocked. If you are having trouble with the concept of a branch, read this. Each phase lasts approximately 3 weeks, to see the current phase look here. To use free unlocks (more info in the FAQ at the bottom) talk to Paemos.
I'm quite proud of my Guide to Aurilian Quests so check that out for complete Questing information. I'll cut&paste out a "what happens when" summary though:
[CP] = Combat Prowess 1) R Accuracy 2) M Speed 3) M Accuracy 4) R Speed
[ER] = Enhanced Reflexes 1) Survival 2) Vehicular Control 3) R Defense 4) M Defense
[HS] = Heightened Senses 1) Persuasion 2) Survey 3) Luck 4) Healing
[CM] = Crafting Mastery 1) Assembly 2) Technique 3) Experimentation 4) Repair
R. Accuracy [+12] increases your accuracy with Ranged Weapons [currently not working].
M. Speed [+12] increases your speed with Melee Weapons [Including Lightsabers]
M. Accuracy [+12] increases your accuracy with Melee Weapons [Including Lightsabers]
R. Speed [+12] increases your speed with Ranged Weapons [currently not working].
Survival [+5 Camping/Foraging/Trapping/Mask Scent/Terrain Negotiation/Creature Knowledge/Harvesting] Camps/TN works without Scout
Vehicular Control [Control +20, Speed +3] increases acceleration and turning.
R. Defense [+20] adds ranged defense
M. Defense [+20] adds melee defense
Persuasion [+20] lower skill training costs, higher % pass of scans, any faction npc's will aid you if anything is aggroed
Survey [+20] Gives you 64/64 surveying without Artisan, 384x384 if you have survey
Luck [+4] More credits on loot, might help get better loots
Healing [+10 Injury Treatment&Speed, +20 Wound Healing Dance/Music] Helps healing power (think stims), DOES NOT affect buffs.
Assembly [+20] Increases your Assembly Roll
Technique [+4] Decreases your failure rate on experiments
Experimentation [+20] Increases your Experimentation Roll *DOES NOT GIVE EXTRA POINTS*
Repair [+20] Increases your Repair Roll
My personal recommendations for skills: M. Def, R. Def, M. Acc, M. Spd, and two of your choice (I went with Luck & Vehicle)
After you have unlocked a branch you can train it up, to do this you talk to Paemos to convert the xp and Noldan to train, despite the fact that after getting the novice box it will seem like you can train any of the branches in that tree you cannot. Here are the conversion ratios for each XP type:
Combat Prowess: BH Investigation 1:1, Combat XP 3:1, [Any] Weapon 30:1, SL 90:1 Enhanced Reflexes: BH Investigation 1:1, Combat XP 3:1, [Any] Weapon 30:1, SL 90:1 Heightened Senses: Survival 5:1, Trapping 25:1, Scout 8:1, CH 9:1, DNA Sampling 3:1, Politician 3:1, Slicing 3:1, ID 7:1, Dancer/Musician/EH 10:1, Surveying 10:1, Merchant 4:1, Medical 10:1 Crafting: BE 4:1, General (Artisan) 8:1, Structure (Architect) 35:1, Rest (including Medical Crafting) 5:1
Step 4) Exit Quest
After you get your 6th fully trained branch you will be visited by the Old Man again, it works the same as the Entry Quest, just be patient. He'll give you a wp to Mellichae. Here's the deal, she's big, has 80% resist to everything except lightsaber, has 55k HAM, and likes swinging her saber, not to mention force lightning/choke. Also she's got friends, Daktar is also a 80% resister with 25k HAM (no saber on him though). There are also thugs, mercenaries and four crystals. The two green ones will heal the two red ones, the two red ones will heal Mel and Dak. So basically, blow up the green ones, then the red ones, then goto town on the randoms, Dak and Mel, more thugs will spawn when the crystals go down. And you must be alive when Mel dies to get the quest completion. This is definitely a mission to bring lots of friends on. If you do die, just log bounce or shuttle and the camp wp and Mel will respawn.
Step 5) Padawan Trials
If you succesfully kill Mellichae, you'll be directed to the closest Force Shrine (there are 4 on every planet, see a complete list here. You must go there and meditate (kneel down and select meditate from the radial option). You will then be given a quest, they take you to random planets, they happen in a random order, you must succesfully complete all 16 to become a Padawan. If you have a problem with a quest (commonly a needed person won't be at the wp) you can go meditate at any shrine to reset the quest and try again, if you fail 3 quests (reseting doesn't count as failing) you fail and have to restart the trials entirely. When I did this I'd say I had to reset about half the quests. Note that on the Kill 20 X trials you'll get a system message every time you kill one of the target creature. When looking for people /target [name] is helpful

DO NOT tune a damage crystal, that must wait till you are a Jedi Padawan or you might become bugged.
When you finish the 16th trial you become a Jedi Padawan, get the Robe and unlock your second character slot (who is a completely new character with no abilities).
Step 6) Jedi what now?
You need to not be wearing ANY armour (this includes PSG's) to have your saber certification, so be sure to strip down. You really want to get the Novice Saber box first, this will greatly increase your xp abilities (It took me 7 hours to get Novice Saber, and about 30 minutes to get Novice Defender once I had NS). I recommend Corellian Dire Cats for xping. For more information head to the Jedi forums, I found this particularly helpful.
Frequently Asked Questions
These are quite literally questions I've seen asked, or answered myself at least 3 times
Glow town
Why aren't I glowing yet?
Do you have all the necessary badges? Read the top of this post.
Can I get glowy without doing the Corvette or the Warren?
Not in the current system, no. You need 5 content badges, and there are only 4 that aren't the vette or warren.
I'm only at faint/surging/strong etc...
Generally you want to ignore the /check system early on, it has some issues, just get the necessary badges and you'll glow.
Do I have to do the missions to get the Jedi Temple POI?
No, those are missions, you just need the POI.
The Old Man and the Sith
How long do I have to wait for the old man?
Generally 1-3 days
Why isn't he here yet?
Don't be inside an NPC city, if you are afk he will come and then go away cause you ignore him so don't be AFK.
The old man came and then left, what do I do now?
Wait, he'll come back eventually.
I want him to come now, where is he, why isn't he here, why do I have to wait, what's going on etc.
PATIENCE!!!
I looted the sith datapad but it says "You must first loot this item before using it", what do I do?
Try putting it in your backpack and then taking it out, if that doesn't work wait for them to attack you again and this time kill them both before looting.
What are those crazy loots I get from Sith for?
They're for crafting quests in Phase 2 & 3
FS Skills
How many FS skills do I need, Is it 24 boxes or 6 branches?
6 Branches, If you are having trouble with the concept of a branch, read this.
What do Master FS boxes do?
Right now? Nothing. No bonuses, no titles.
Can I drop FS Skills?
Kind of, you can up until you start your padawan trials (we believe), after that you must always have 6 full branches.
Can I pickup a seventh branch and drop a different one?
YES! Someone tried it here
What's with luck not being in phase 2
Sometimes between TC and Live things change... since all we had to go on was TC information all the guides had Luck in phase 2, the good guides will update when new information comes along *insert shameless plug for my oft-updated guide*
Will vehicle control help with JTL?
No. No. No. The devs have said on more then one occasion that no skills (other then pilot) will help JTL, purely twitch based.
Do the FS skills help non-jedi?
Yes, absolutely.
How many Skill Points does each box take?
0 pts for Novice and Master, 1 pts for everything else (So 24 for your 6 branches)
What does the FS Skill X Do?
Did you even read the guide above?
Will Speed help me?
Depends, if you're already speed capped (master TKA, master fencer) then no, otherwise yes. You do speed cap at Master Saber, but till then it's great
What's the deal with Combat Prowess and Enhanced Reflexes taking the same xp?
The same things can be converted to them, but you cannot use CP xp to train ER skills, so be sure you convert to the right thing
It looks like I can train all four skills in this tree, but I haven't unlocked any, what's up?
Despite the fact that you can see your progress to first level boxes on any tree you've trained novice, and even that you'll get a system message about qualifying. You can only train those branches that you have already unlocked.
Quests
When can I unlock X? Who do I goto to unlock X? What do I have to do to unlock X? What is the reward? Guide to Aurilian Quests
Can I still train this branch even though I unlocked it last phase?
Yes, once a branch is unlocked, you can train it at any time, training is not linked to the phase.
Can I do more then one quest?
One quest per phase, you can't abort it so be sure of your choice before you begin.
How do I abort this quest and take another?
You can't, you don't.
What happens if I do the quest after already unlocking that branch (through holo-unlocks)
You just get the reward. Note that you can't redo a quest once you have completed it the natural way (by doing the quest itself, not holo-unlocks). Here's part of the CSR response when I submitted a ticket about this problem, which I feel was very helpful and informative: "You cannot do the same mission over in a different phase. There may be a continuation of the quest with a different NPC, but you will not be able to do the same quest once it has been completed or the phase changes."
How do I get back to Phase X?
After Phase 4 it cycles back to Phase 1
When is the next phase? What phase is it now?
Each phase lasts approximately 3 weeks, to see the current phase look here
What happens if I don't finish this quest when the phase switches?
You fail it. You must complete the quest before the phase changes or you fail it.
How does grouping work for the mind crystal in phase 3?
I could just direct you to my lovely Guide to Aurilian Quests but I'll cut and paste this for the duration of this phase:
You can do this mission with another player in order to get the bonus reward (Power Crystal), The Captian will offer you the ability to do this partnership at the beginning, in this case one person lowers the shield and the other captures the commander. Both people are doing the mission, both will unlock and get rewards, neither can take other missions.
Padawan, Holocrons and Free Unlocks
Do I need TKA meditate?
No, meditate is a radial option on the shrines
It says to be more respectful, what am I doing wrong?
You must kneel before mditating
I'm doing the padawan trials and my contact vanished! What do I do?
Goto a force shrine, meditate, and reset the trial (not restart the whole trials, just reset that one), you have to redo it.
What order to the trials come in?
It's random
Is the crafting trial the last one?
No, it generally happens around the middle
When do I get my lightsaber?
When you become a Jedi Initiate, midway through the Padawan Trials, you have your very own training saber
I only do 6 dmg with my lightsaber? What's up?
If you're wearing ANY armour (such as the helm with the robe) you lose the certification for the saber, no armour for you.
Can you still use holo's to unlock?
No, that was in the old system, holo's now act as force stims for Jedi.
How many free unlocks will I get
Depends how many of your 8 needed professions to get Jedi you did. Number of secret profs - 2 is the formula (so all 8 get you 6 unlocks, where as 3 gets you 1)
Where do I get my free unlocks?
Talk to Paemos, it's the fifth option if you have unlocks [Don't forget to train right away or you'll have capping issues]
I unlocked my jedi pre pub 9, do I get free unlocks?
NO.
Can I convert Jedi xp into FS xp?
NO.
Can I change my set of 6 FS branches after becoming Jedi?
YES! You must unlock and train up a 7th branch, and then you can drop one of your original 6.
Miscellaneous
When do you get the new character?
After getting Jedi Padawan you can create a new character on the server. This is a completely blank character, equivalent to a new character on a new account.
Can a BH hunt me?
Once you are a padawan, yes, till then, no. Goto the Jedi Forum and read up on visibility.
So this new character will be my FS one?
NO! You are thinking of a system that hasn't existed since before publish 9. Your main is FS, if you really want you can take your new character along the same path you just travelled and both will be FS.
How do I unlock the second slot if I'm not interested in Jedi
You don't, this is the Jedi system, not the unlocking-a-second-character system.
Can't I just drop all the Jedi stuff after getting my second character?
No, you can't. You are going to have spent 24 SP that you can't drop
Why can't I convert Shipwright/Pilot xp? What's the conversion rate on Shipwright/Pilot XP
There is no conversion rate, it can't be converted. I believe the idea is that space is seperate from the jedi system
That's it folks, if you spot any mistakes or have information to add please PM me or leave a comment here. If you have answered the same question three times, or have seen the same question three times, put it here so I can add it to the FAQ. Feedback (and ratings) are always appreciated, as are bumps .
Edit Notes: Became stickied, yay!
Message Edited by SSSnuggles on 12-19-200402:26 PM
You have been a valuable asset to the new comers to being FS. The only problem with posting another guide is no matter what you will see the same questions over and over again which is very unfortunate. Other guides are out there with the same information you presented but when it comes down to it, new comers know they can just ask questions and get their question answered without having to read other posts such as this guide.
I really hope your guide will eliminate many new posts from people that are new to being FS. I suppose time will tell...
Anways, keep up the valuable help you have provided thus far!

I know there are other guides... but there were two factors that drove me to write this one:
1) The guides have errors and aren't being updated. We've seen many extra questions due to mistakes in the guides, having written guides I don't blame the authors for the original mistakes, but not updating the guide to correct them causes issues.
2) There isn't a "Read this first" sticky on this forum, nor a FAQ. Now that I know how to get things stickied, I'm hoping I've provided something that can take over the 'guide' spot and be an accurate helpful post that will hopefully at least slow down the flow of repetitive questions.
Thanx for the compliments, and for answering tons of questions yourself (if you've got any that tend to be asked a lot that I'm missing, please post them here so I can add it to the FAQ).
I was having a heck of a time with the grizzlo quest (always display respect and dignity when interacting with others) .
This was the 4th time trying it and Grizzlo was not there again. I went report a /bug, and low and behold, Grizzlo appeared right as I was submitting the bug. I'm thinking that when you spawn this quest, Grizzlo seemed to spawn in a couple of places (Kaadara, Dearic, Doaba Greufel, etc). I'm wondering if this mission is bugging out because someone else is meditating at the shrine and getting Grizzlo to spawn in a different location.
In any event, if you mission is bugged, hang around at the WP for a couple minutes, you might get a plesent suprise.
players have spent time making them so you dont have to go about posting more pointless threads after pointless threads. Asking the same questions over and over....
I wish the devs would pick one of us FS players to moderate THIS forum only!
Allowing us to
1) DELETE pointless Question threads that HAVE BEEN ASKED!!!
2) TO STICKY FAQ and GUIDES!
DEV meeting room, monday 8th February 2005 Guys the players have posted up a video regarding jedi fighting clubs. it appears the jedi have a new way of gaining FRS faster. Excellent. Excellent.... my idea is going to plan. Soon the rebellion will be crushed, soo many Jedi masters there will be... Er... what about the rules? that state any exploiter, cheater will be banned? Tiggs stands up, As long as it doesnt look like they exploit, its legal Everyone cheers, woots, whistles. and has a happy day!
Much of the info here has been posted many times, but the FAQ is a nice addition to the collected knowledge. Put all together, it's a winner. I've added it to the sticky thread with links.
Any help in keeping this on the first page, until we achieve stickification, would be great.
then... /bump u shall have!

I dont think this question is answered in the guide, i read it twice and didnt find my answer so i take the risk to ask and bring alot of flame on me if the answer is in the guide
*blush* Can i start the village quest to phase 2? Like now on Eclipse, we are on phase2 it seems, and i just did all the stuff to the village and the only thing i am allowed to do is the phase 2 quest (CP - M.Speed - Dageerin ) All the other npc send me to this guys. *blush more* And will it work when i will be done with 2,3,4 and then 1 ? All my quest will be done and i will be able to go to the next step ? I know the answer is probably in the question, but well, im a noob in FS stuff after all and i'd like to be sure

The phase is server oriented, not player instanced. So yes, whichever phase you enter on you start at. And they do cycle. I didn't explicitly say this in the FAQ/Guide, and if I come up with a way to nicely make that a short question it'll get added
Nice faq but it is missing a problem, I've seen other people have run into this as well, but so far i've seen no real awnsers to it. I have never been nor had a Jedi. The old man came I talked with him and he gave me the crystal, i check the crystal and at first it shows the "talk to old man" quest but it was white(not completed) then the old man came again, so i thought, maybe i should try speaking with him a second time bad idea, anyway he tells me has nothing to say to me and just sits there for a while then disapears, i check my crystal agian still shows quest in-complete, so i log out wait a little bit log back in, check the crystal only now it's blank, i waited half an hour to see if it would update and nothing every happened. i've uncheck the "include completed quests" check box and checked it nothing changed. i'm going to submit a bug, but at this point i'm hoping someone can tell me how to proceed, should i hold out and just hope he comes back agian? should i delete the crystal and hope he ocmes back again? or should i just hold off and hope the sith quest starts anyway? any help here would be greatly apreciated, thank you

I'd guess that the second old man was for someone else, that's why he wouldn't talk to you. If it's been less than three days, just keep waiting for the Sith to appear. There are several bugs relating to quests displaying properly within the force crystal journal. If it's been more than three days... submit a ticket.
Allright, thanks for the quick reply i'll try and not be my usuall impatient self the second one i believe was for me though btw, as it called me by name I went ahead and submitted a ticket, as if nothing else SOE developers should be aware of it so they can fix it for the future Otherwise i'll cary on as usuall keeping a paranoid eye out for any syth

I believe if anyone approaches the old man he'll talk to them, not sure exactly, but I did have an occurance where the old man came for someone who was AFK and someone else came by and talked to him.
.
Playoff and iamNcommand 
I went ahead and submitted a ticket, as if nothing else SOE developers should be aware of it so they can fix it for the future
