Introduction

This video provides a comprehensive guide to experiencing the Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) solo story content in order. It's designed to help both new and returning players navigate the vast amount of quests, ensuring they don't miss any story elements. The guide focuses on the solo story path, outlining the recommended planet order and highlighting additional optional quests and secrets.

Key Takeaways

• Class Story Order is Flexible: The class stories (origin stories) can be played in any order as they occur roughly concurrently.
• Main Quest Identification: Main quests are indicated by purple quest icons. Planetary story arcs are shared within a faction, while class quests are unique.
• Exploration Quests: Yellow triangular quest icons represent optional exploration quests. These are hidden by default but can be enabled in the mini-map settings. Completing them will result in higher level before completing the main story.
• Game Scaling: SWTOR utilizes game scaling. This means that players are temporarily downgraded to the planet's appropriate level, ensuring they receive appropriate rewards and experience regardless of their overall level.
• Bonus Series Quests: Many planets feature bonus quest series, often accessible after completing the main class quest and planetary story arcs on that planet.
• Secrets and Hidden Content: The game features hidden data crons (permanent stat boosts), lore objects, and achievements related to exploration.
• Flashpoints: Several flashpoints (group instanced missions) are integrated into the main story and some offer solo modes. The video guides players through these.
• Expansions: The video details the order and content of the various SWTOR expansions, explaining how to access them and highlighting unique features of each.
• Free-to-Play Limitation: The video indicates where the free-to-play content ends and subscription is required to continue the main storyline beyond a certain point. Subscription unlocks all expansions.
• Companion Alerts and Star Fortresses: The later expansions introduce companion alerts (quests related to companions) and star fortresses (group/solo instanced missions).
