Types of missions

  • Class: They are obligatory and as you accomplish them, you travel to the next planets. They present your class story, the next companions, etc.
  • Hutta / Korriban / Tython / Ord Mantell (side): Although not obligatory, it's mostly these missions that let you gain a higher level. Sometimes class missions require such a high level, because in some of them you face very challenging enemies.
  • Hutta / Korriban / Tython / Ord Mantell - Heroic (side): Although not obligatory, it's mostly these missions that let you get valuable gear and a lot of experience. You can do them alone or with other players. The latter will result in earning Social Points.
  • Bonus: Optional missions always connected with a main or side mission and done within its range. Usually they require you to kill a certain number of enemies.
  • Tutorial: Obligatory missions acquainting you with the game possibilities (e.g. item modification).
  • Naturally, you will have the biggest number of adventures while doing all side missions, and if you want to get out of a planet at all you also have to accomplish class missions. As far as bonus missions are concerned, it's worth doing them to get an instant XP bonus. You should also complete all tutorial missions.

Light and Dark Side, Affection and Mission Items

You should keep in mind that in some missions the dialogue options give you Light or Dark Side Points, and also add or subtract your companion friendship points (Affection). If you need more information, see the character development. You receive all these points after you've completed a mission (not during the conversation). Each conversation can be stopped by pressing ESC if you want to repeat it. However, if you finish it you won't be able to reverse your decision.

In missions you often receive various kinds of items (Mission Items), but usually you don't use them in any way. However, sometimes there are missions that require you to use a particular item. In such a situation remember about the "Mission Items" tab at the bottom in the inventory panel. You will find all mission items there. Click RMB on an item to use it and hold LMB to drag it (e.g. to quick access bar). It's likely that before using it you need to point at something (an item or an NPC).

Each mission begins with a conversation with an NPC or examining an item. You can refuse completing a mission in both cases. (Refuse Quest during the conversations or Cancel in the case of datapads).

Rewards

After fulfilling the last mission objective you will get various kinds of rewards:

  • XP - experience points.
  • credits - money.
  • items - weapon and armor parts (fitting your class or not), credit boxes, commendations, single use items (Medpacs, stims), etc.
  • Codex entries - including: important people, organizations, and above all titles you can add before your character's name.

Remember that the sole accomplishment of all class and side missions will not get you all Codex entries!

Mail

It's closely connected with missions. After some of them you may or may not receive e-mails with rewards (it's shown at the top right corner of the screen by default). If you notice that you have a message, go to the nearest mailbox to receive it, and take items or credits if there are any.
