Voritor Killer

Roaming Dantooine aimlessly or rather aiming at voritors while erring in the Dantooine countryside. Voritors are not really that much of a challenge, but it's still good practise in mob management. Pulling the droid to attack the nest, shooting and looting the voritors. Looting, the key word, so far, it's a slow progression on another collection, as they drop parts of the cabinetry techniques collection. Junk loot though, is mosty that. Still, it's an opportunity to advance the slayer and the hobby collections, collect junk and regular loot for sale or RE, skins from lootless mobs for sale, enzymes for the beast dye collection to give away. So overall, nothing lost.

Lost Rebel Armor Collection

An odd collection to start for an Imperial, but hey, enrol and travel they used to say. There are a couple of nifty things about that collection, well not all nifty but they all abound in the fun facts list:
- Princess Leia on a small isolated camp in Dantooine ? Fact one, she's there.
- A Force Crystal guarded by a fallen padawan on Rori ? That's two.
- Crazed Geonosians next to the ruins of a Jedi Temple Ruin site on Yavin 4 ? That's three.
- A Rebel base shaped in the Alliance symbol ? That's four.

The rest was, in my humble opinion, less interesting. Thank the Empire for this enlighting tour.

Oh, the best news of course is that there was a badge given for the completion of that collection. And since yours truly had 124 badge, that became the 125th and the 126th was immediately awarded. The 126th being "Badge collector: you have collected 125 badges". Yeah, I'm a badge addict...

Kamurith Killer

Oh yeah, a great title...sort of. The reward for endlessly tracking kamurith from one end of Dathomir to the other. Well, at least, with the Ryll Wrecker (another great title...sort of), it's two steps completed in the Cold Blooded Killer Collection. Yes, that's correct, vesps and voritors are next on the menu. Likely vesps for the enjoyment of some Lok hunting, which remains the favorite planet. Should Krayts be mentioned at this point ? Well, they could, but really, it's more a group activity than a solo one for a spy.

Krayt Hunting

There comes a moment in all SWG players life that challenges need to come in large sizes, in this case, Krayts. Big, large and mean, spawning everywhere at once, the charming lizards offer a nice challenge to a small group. Thanks Eweev and Enkarn for this fun moment of droids and familiar running around and blazing their way ahead.

ISD Run

Travelling to the Imperial Star Destroyer was a fun run (and successful), it was a good moment to spend with friends in a challenging environment, especially in the first room. The use of the cloning facilities aboard the ship was also the demonstration that there's no need to have an ent buff when doing this heroic.

Congrats' on the entire team for a job well done, it's always a pleasure to work with our friends at Phenix Rising.

Also, as a side note, it was a great opportunity to explore Nova Orion Station (never been before) and to complete the Four Sages of Dwartii collection. The statue will be displayed in an undisclosed location...

Renegades

Spotted Renegades near the Tatooine Space Station have been destroyed following a brazen raid aboard the Ionic Bird, a modified TIE-Interceptor. While it was fun to recover the space mobile and complete a collection, it was also an opportunity to realize how quiclky one can forget how to pilot!! SWG really caters for different gameplays and different expertises, it's quite difficult to master them all. Kudos to smugglers having to master ground and space gameplays as part of their profession.../hattip Vewock!

From Dantooine to Endor to Dathomir to Corellia

A small roaming hunting TMB team (Vewock, Darkossk, Tarn) traveled from Dantooine to Dathomir in search of burning rocks - in the process, it faced various opponents ranging from Jedi Elders to Nightsister Initiates. The collection was successful, and lead to another one, completing (or make significant progresses) on Endor, the infamous Order 66. Padawans, Knights, Masters fell to the merciless attacks - carrying out the Emperor's will.

On Corellia, Vewock, Darkossk and Brite investigated the identity of the Meatlump King, passing puzzles, combat and finding bombs with success.

Killing time and spies...

While not adding much content to the game, small collections such as the Broken Fryer, Wayfar Spies, Exceptional Bone, provide with touches of lore within the SW narrative. The opportunity to learn about the inner workings of friers may not be life changing, yet, it addresses with great talent the behind-the-scenes daily life of heroes of the Empire or the Alliance to Restore the Republic alike. Bearing this in mind, downtime collections are a nice segment of play for those looking at SWG beyond the high-end game (Heroics, GCW).

Waiting for Obi-Wan

On Monday evening, I finally had the chance to meet with the etheral form of Obi-Wan Kenobi and trailblaze one last time on Mustafar...One last time, because I have my hands on the lava skiff and thus won't need to take the longer road to any point. It comes as a relief...

Elsewhere in the Galaxy, Darkossk was frantically chasing Mantrigues. Anyone interested in joining in this wild hunt, contact him.
