Star Wars Galaxies is now offering rewards to veteran players. These veteran rewards are exclusive SWG items that are given to players in appreciation of their investment in the game. Whether you have played the game for several months or several years, you are sure to get rewarded.

Veteran rewards start on the 3rd month of your subscription and are give out every 3 months after that. You’ll know when you’ve reached a veteran reward milestone since a window will pop up when you log into the game, letting you chose from available Star Wars Galaxies items. For those players not interested in rewards, SWG allows them to trade or give away the reward items to other players.

63 month Milestone

I think these reward items are long overdue since veterans not only contribute so much to the game but many of them have dedicated hours on end creating SWG Guides to improve the game for less experience players. These SWG guides include secrets such as

• Fastest ways to level
• Star Wars Galaxies gold making tricks
• How to get better weapons
• SWG strategies to build a stronger character

These helpful Star Wars Galaxies secrets allow you to learn from veteran players and not make the same mistakes as they did. This can save you hours and days of frusteration

A couple weeks ago SOE (Sony Online Entertainment) featured a bonus weekend event. Between February 25 and March 2 players received bonus exp and more. The SWG bonuses included

• Double XP
• Double GCW Points
• Double GCW Tokens from Battlefields and City Invasions

If you’re anything like me you probably didn’t hear about the bonus weekend event until it was too late or just didn’t have the time to log on and play during those days. Well luckily with other resources available we don’t have to rely on SOE for such events or be on their schedule. There are several different ways to do things such as multiply your SWG gold, XP, points, tokens and whatever else you wish to do.

Star Wars Galaxies cheats will allow you to achieve unbelievable and incredible results not possible with just regular gameplay. A form of cheat is also a SWG exploit that will allow you to advance your character abnormally fast by using game bugs to your advantage.

Some may see it as unfair gameplay and others may see it as the only means of succeeding in a demanding world that doesn’t always allow the time to play the game or participate in SOE created events.

Star Wars Galaxies Items can range anywhere from crafted to quest items, or even junk. Some are essential to leveling and to build stronger characters, others are simply for status or décor purposes.

Star Wars Galaxies bots are oftentimes used by gamers to collect the largest amount of items possible. A bot is a program with humanlike actions that is designed to automatically do specific tasks. So even when your AFK your bot can craft or collect items in your absence.

SWG secrets are also available to simplify the item collecting process. Secrets are not easily revealed and can give you an advantage over most players.

For example, here is a secret on how to get one of the best (lesser known) décor SWG items:

Requirements

• Profession: Bounty Hunter
• Profession Quest: Bounty Contract

Instructions

1. Start the quest. Bobba Fett contacts you to go see Bosshand Faeto in the Lucky Despot 3400-4590. Get the Untas’ Death Mark. (Put in equipped pack or bank and you can stop quest and re-do if you want more).

   This looks like a little tomb stone. The Aurebesh inscription reads “Rest in peace. In Loving Memory”



2. Next visit an NOC named Taibela 3490 -4872. She gives you a “Pressed Flower.” (stop here, run to bank to put item in bank, stop quest and repeat).



3. Visit Kryat Cult Cave once you have enough flowers etc. 3530 -3825 The NPC named Oldksam gives you Dar’Kel Spice. You can continue and finish quest or just stop once you get the decor items.

A small, helpful SWG tip can end up saving you many minutes if not hours of time and frustration. A tip is usually a small piece of information designed to simplify a task. SWG hints and tips can provide valuable guidance and information for not only beginners but also the most advanced players.

I am going to share some simple, time saving Star Wars Galaxies tips. Unfortunately the developers haven’t made them that available for gamers. You may already be familiar with some of them, but for the gamers that are not, they can be incredibly handy.

FINDING BUILDINGS
use /locate to get a list with coordinates to all the structures you own.

TARGETING
RADAR FOR TARGETTING: if you move the cursor onto a dot in the radar circle it tells you what that dot is and its waypoints. Even more cool if you click on the dot it makes that your target. So you can simply click on a dot and you’re in business.

TRAVELLING
AUTO-DRIVE: clicking the “Num Lock” key sets you to an auto-drive of sorts. You can still move the mouse to change direction. (or if you don’t use mouse point mode, can steer with turning keys as per usual)

VARIOUS STYLES OF SPEACH BUBBLES
/state or proclaim
/mumble or moan
/recite
/whisper (which i think has a short range)
/gossip
/yell or shout (which has a range of 100m)
/howl
/huff
/jabber
/blurt
/stutter
/rap

These are just a few of the many tips that every gamer should have. You can find the complete list here: SWG Tips (Game Tips)
