Some Newbie Questions
Hey everyone! ^^
I'm sure this will be your umpteenth time answering most of these questions, but I could really use your input.
So:
1. Excluding vanity stuff, what would you recommend spending my Cartel Coins on? Anything extremely useful you can think of, or other worthwhile investments?
2. Okay, fine, what vanity stuff would you recommend?
3. What Legacy bonuses should I prioritize unlocking, and is it worth spending Cartel Coins on them?
4. Speaking of Legacy and Cartel Coins, does stuff I buy on the Cartel Market apply to all my characters, or just the one I bought it on?
5. Crafting skills. How do you make sense of the huge mess that these lists eventually turn into? I literally get lost in there.
6. Any recommendations for customizing the GUI (screenshots would be appreciated)? I know it's problematic to answer since everyone has a different style, but it'd be easier for me to take an existing template and tweak it than to design something from scratch.
7. How does one acquire purple lightsaber crystals? Seriously, these things are beautiful.
8. Are Sith Purebloods supposed to get Dark Side corruption? I noticed that they do, but is that just an oversight (or maybe an extra option since you can easily turn it off), or accurate lore-wise? Because I'll admit I'm not overly familiar with the Star Wars universe, so I figured the Purebloods don't get the corruption effects because the Dark Side is a much more natural thing to them than to the other races. Also, red over red is kinda hard to see. So what's the truth about this?
9. Is there any companion in the game who uses a Shock Staff? I keep finding these and selling them because I don't know which character of mine (if at all) to mail them to.
10. With as little spoilers as possible, I'd love to know which classes can have a good, logical storyline with both alignments.
11. About the Rakghoul event. Does the antidote from the medical droids work if you're already infected, or does it only prevent infection? Also, how long does it last?
12. Regarding Guilds. While the XP and Reputation bonuses sound really nice, I wouldn't want to commit too much only to disappoint by not being active enough. Are guilds generally very demanding and such, or do they tend to be laid back and leave you alone until you ask to do some stuff (flashpoints, heroic missions, social grinding on the Black Talon/Esseles, etc.)?
Thanks in advance, guys. I know this is a lot of stuff to go over, so I really appreciate anyone willing to wade through this wall of text to help me out.
