Codex | Hints SWTOR Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

As you travel across the planets you acquire the knowledge of the Star Wars universe (Codex). You will find it in the Mission Log (press L and click on "Codex" tab). There are several kinds of entries, and you can also get them for performing various actions. Below there's a detailed list:

• Achievement: Datacrons - it concerns the history of the Star Wars universe and discovering ancient treasures - Datacrons. Each of them permanently increases one of the stats or contains a very valuable mission item.
• Achievement: Titles - you can have a title before your name so that other players know whom they are dealing with. You obtain titles for completing class missions (each class has its own titles), side Heroic missions and for other accomplishments (e.g. earning a big number of Dark Side Points).
• Bestiary - important monsters you can kill. There are not part of missions in the majority of cases.
• Game Rules - obtained only in class missions, each class has their own. You will find some information about your own class, which is worth reading.
• Locations - important places discovered while traveling. They aren't connected with missions, though it's most convenient to get some of the entries during a class or side mission. Don't confuse them with places on maps - for discovering a map you receive separate XP.
• Lore - different branches of knowledge, literally hidden in objects (e.g. inscriptions on plates or statues, and sometimes even bottles). They aren't connected with missions, though it's most convenient to get some of the entries while doing a class or side mission. On the other hand, you will not get all entries this way.
• Persons of Note - profiles of important people, obtained only in class missions (each class has their own).
• Planets - a list of the planets you can go to.
• Species - of the Star Wars universe. Obtained at the end of class or side missions and from lore items.

You should know that completing all missions on a particular planet (class and side) does not mean that you will obtain all Lore items. Sometimes you need to look deeper in a forest or a tunnel. All places where you will find these items were given in the "Places" chapter.

ATTENTION! Some Codex entries that are on a list of those you can obtain on Hutta, Korriban, Tython or Ord Mantell:

• were damaged when this guide was being written and cannot be unlocked,
• are connected with several planets and can be obtained on one of them (but not on the one where you begin the adventure),
• are obtained only after you have left Hutta, Korriban, Tython or Ord Mantell.

These entries are not covered in the guide.
