How to Level Up Fast in SWTOR 

i just started swtor two days ago. it’s really fun so far!

run away like a coward.. my specialty.

I'm not playing the game as of right now...on a little break BUT It always brings a smile to my face when I see you have uploaded a vid. You are always here to keep SWTOR fresh in our minds...as always Thank You for all the hard work you put in for this awesome game.

I've been totally "legacy unlocked" so long now I'd forgotten that quick travel even had a cooldown. Man, starting out in SWTOR was a grind back in the day. I sometimes miss it, but WoW Classic reminded me of why that nostalgia is actually misplaced.

Note: Running like a Coward *doesn't work* in Instanced Areas

I’m always amazed that I’ve played this game on and off for years but always learn something from these videos.

Fun trick with Rocket Boost, they count when you're using "random mount" so, you can have no mount (except your legacy wide Rocket Boost) and you can use random mount to summon rocket boost at level 1 in lieu of a speeder, since they are faster than level 1 speeder piloting (though you can get dismounted) Edit: You circumvent the rocket boost cooldown timer when you summon via random mount. So you mount up, boost until it expires, and then mount again and get back to rocket boosting. (Does not work in no mount areas)

I just started playing SWTOR about 3 weeks ago now, and I just wanted you to know your channel has kept me going! Thanks for all the hard work!

Anything I search for related to Swtor ,your videos are the first ones to pop up, and amazing videos at that. Thanks for all the time and effort put towards helping plebs like me understand Swtor. You're awesome.

Ever since quarantine I've been getting into this game and subsequently bingeing your videos, and you're making me so good!

i would just like to say thank you for your videos! i just started SWTOR this week and they are extremely helpful and have helped me understand the game more and more as well as discover mechanics i probably wouldn't have found on my own. thanks again! ❤

Being a seasoned player, I really enjoyed this video and overall this channel. Informative content, took 3 years off and am back now, these are extremely helpful refreshers. Thank you!

Query : Master, why are you making the opponents stronger. Happy declaration: Yet no-one will ever reach my level

Two things extra, might help some: I always use the taxi speeders to unlock all travel points because then I can just QT there. Secondly, do the heroics. You will get good gear for your character and of course XP and money. I have done this and the above mentioned in the video for a long time. I am mostly 5-7 levels above current world, which it of course easier to finished.

I love the cutscenes so much I removed the spacebar from my gaming keyboard.

"Sometimes you just want to level up fast", puts this 14 minute video on 1.75 playback speed

Use those XP tokens, do heroic missions. Done lol

wow what a coincidence I just got back into the game and wanted to start leveling my characters up.. love the guides

Your reading voice is so smooth and your diction is crisp - you are quite an orator ma'am.

I am new here old time wow player since 2004 and I rly found your 📹 clips very crystal clear speaking fpr helping a person to get into this game from the gego. Keep it up. Stwor seems amazing game thinking of starting especially since the new expansion coming

i took your adv ie and did only class missions and finally have my Legendary Status!!!!! Thanks, again. And I'm sure for other videos, again.

Here's a quick little tip (kinda): the Sith Marauder (idk if Jugg also has this) has a short period invis ability called Force Camoflauge, which grants invisibilty for 4 or 5 seconds (can be upgraded to 7 seconds). It must be used right before getting attacked by mobs. But, it still works!

Man... I was a preorder and haven't played in years. Came back recently and grinded up a sith inquisitor to level 71 while completely ignoring the legacy stuff. Life just got a lot easier!

Great informative video!! I have just recently started SWTOR and this is sure to help. Thanks

"space bar to victory" - i laughed so hard :D

Great vid Swtorista, definitely love the rocket boost.

Hey Swtorista! I just started playing at the beginning of the year after building my first PC and just want to say thanks for the wealth of information you have available for all of us. Like yourself, way back in the day, the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight/ KOTOR games were some of the first Star Wars video games I ever played. I was instantly hooked and have played the life out of those games since. I've been waiting to play this game since release and I just finished my first Character's arc and leveled to 75. I've got a bunch of expansion gameplay left to accomplish and I've been using your videos on the chronological way to do them, so I don't miss out on any detail. I've been going through your videos on what else to do as well, like veteran flashpoints etc, yet I've run into a problem trying to find Operation instances. That, and I have no idea what to spend my accumulated credits on. Anyways, I'm glad you're still making videos after all this time; they're very helpful for people like me who are somewhat new to mmos. Hope you have a great day!

I always wanted to level up fast back in the day... now I like to level slowly, doing EVERY mission on EVERY planet and enjoying the content. Hitting the Level Cap is overrated anyway, lol

Ive been playing since 2012 and am a very experienced player and yet i still watch all these videos 😂😂

Again another great video, thanks for your time.

@Swtorista Thank you for still puttin out videos on this Game. Partly thx to you i restarted the game again. So

So, I just watched old video you made and wondered if you would make an updated version. Talk about timing!

I played swtor for 4 years and then my mom deleted the game because it made the computer go slow while I was at school and I haven’t been able to play it since then and now I’m getting a new pc and your videos have been really helpful

The rested bonus still works, so when you are signing out park your character in a cantina or a stronghold for the rested bonus.

Leveling up in this game is now so easy! My Sith Juggernaut is now over lvl 40 and is just leaving Nar Shaddaa.

Getting all the datacrons on high level alts adds a significant amount of stats to all characters, but on a startup character-percentage wise-they add so much that the new character is overpowered for the startup zones and the first couple of planets, even without the stats you will get from gear. This will make everything so much easier and quicker. Run heroics. The group tab now has "solo" activities. You can quickly port to a planet and its heroic console, get all the heroics, each of which give a quick travel to the actual start point of the heroic. Heroics are not very hard, especially if you have leveled up the influence on your companion. Planets and their heroics will become available faster than you can level, so there will be no shortage of heroics, even if you dont see many on the group tab when you start a character. Nearly all of the heroics can be done daily. Low planet heroics become damnquickoneshot things when you have overleveled them by 10 or 20 levels, but still give the proper exp for your level. Heroics also give good blue gear, you will gear out your character as you do them, saving you any gear hunt as you level. I find a strong companion to be incredibly useful to level up with, and it is so easy to get influence 20, and need only mild effort to go to influence 30. Get Legacy of Altruism to level III in legacy, then go to the equipment vendor right beside the the level 10 mod vendor. Buy and sell the 600 credit gloves or belts or something (they are refundable for 2 hours, so this is free), looking for the gold "+2.00% influence" amplifiers. They are on the mods in the gear, and can be pulled for 38 credits. Do this till you have 9 of them x 2% to give another 18% boost to gifts. You only have to do this once, because if you put them into legacy gear, keep them in your legacy bank, whenever you want to increase the influence of any character's companion, just load the influence amplifier gear--which makes this a legacy wide perk! Then go to companion gift vendor on fleet, buy the correct green 200 credit companion gifts, it takes about 80k credits to get a level 1 companion to level 20, and 15 or 20 min gift feeding (once in your backpack drag the stack of gifts to a hotkey, makes feeding really easy--and then watch RU-vid videos on your other computer while you poke the hotkey), 300k credits to level 30 and a couple hours of RU-vid videos, cheap and quick. Get one companion to 30 influence to fight with (more than enough), and since at max level you can have 8 on missions (plus the one you have out) you will want to get several others (up to 8 more) at influence 20 for those missions, the mission speed and crit rates increases make this very worth it.

One "Double XP" weekend my guildmaster was complaining that we needed more ranged DPS in our ops groups. I offered to make a Gunslinger and when he got to 7 or so, we gathered three max level (65 at the time) characters to run Heroics with him. I didn't use anything off the cartel market, but just running heroics for two days with a max level group got me to 65 on the second day.

Thanks for this guide! Very useful!

Great video and tips. I did two speed runs recently during the double experience event. I made a video series out of each one. Doing everything on a planet went much quicker at a little over 7 hours from 1-75. In a second run I did only the class stories and that took a little over 10 hours from 1-75. I might try again during the next double experience event, I think I can get it below 7 hours.

One tip that slipped by was to change your settings to the auto-loot function. Saves you the trouble of manually picking up every individual loot that drops.

Another awesome video from Swtorista!

Thanks for making this video and this was helpful

Payed the game on and off since beta but never really got ‘into’ it. Started again and doing all purple quests along all the planets in the sequence. Having a blast. No idea what I’m doing, but it’s fun. Thanks for the vid also. Making me want to keep playing it 😊

I've started playing SWTOR again since last week :) Love it so far!

This video has helped me a lot in finding out things I had no clue about

Ive been off and on player since the beginning but after returning a couple months ago I actually paid attention to the legacy unlocks, so glad I picked up the jump boost and quick travel reductions, I havent't done the mount while moving one yet so I guess thats next. Despite how much Ive played I still feel very noob but also joined a pretty well done guild has made it enjoyable. Also done a lot of quick lvling through running Flashpoints often

I speed run my characters as well and I found unlocking the flashpoints xp boost in the legacy + running hammer station was the most effective way to level up fast. I used to do heroics but trust me, hammer station is the way to go. You can start doing it from level 16 but this isn’t too bad.

I think guild bonus goes up to 15% xp, from level 50+ guilds. On leveling, I highly recommended people try to run with dps companions if they are speed running, and put the many medpacs, that drop, on your bar. If you decide to do heroics, try out your companion on dps, or heals without the channeled heal on and see how it feels. (they'll do more dmg) If you are always higher level than the planet you're on, don't worry too much about the mod slot, but more about the enhancement slot and left side. Mastery power and endurance are capped. But you still get all of your secondary stats including defense. Do intro to crafting, when you hit the fleet, and talk to every trainer. Do intro to strongholds at level 15. Claim any titles you have unlocked in collections. Black talon spacebar is great xp until about level 30, it's decent until the 40s iirc. Makeb is underrated, use the gsi clicky, it will boost you stats if necessary, heal you in combat and boost exploration xp by 250%. Quicker daily zones are pretty good too, like the black hole and czerka. Kotfe is great xp from 60-66.(kotfe loses a digit of xp after 66, unless they patched it) (and Onslaught as well 70+) But don't do those if you want to preserve your class story. Imo a combination of bt and heroics were the fastest way to level pre 6.0, (excluding bug hunt and yavin cheese) Not sure how long heroics take now with the mobs being heftier, might be better to group level through them for speed. (side note reminder, that you don't need a ship to spam heroics, you just need to hit their minimum level, and they usually will appear earlier on the fleet terminal than they will in your control G interface) Sorry for the book :/

There are also the intermittent double-xp weeks, which when combined with the xp boost items can get you from 1-75 in a matter of hours, especially if you join a Balmoran Bug Hunt or Nar Shadaa Imperial Raid op.

1. Do the class story on the capital world, which gives you your ship. 2. Put you credits into the explorer experience boost. 3. Use XP boost items. 4. Then simply access the galaxy map and start visiting higher level planets. You can easily gain 3-5 levels on planets like Rishi and Yavin by simply speeding around, and revealing the map.

Thank you Swtorista!

I love the Balmorra music in the background! Best music in game.

I have two ideas that would make this game greater. 1st. We should be able to use your extra characters as a companion. It would be awesome to venture the galaxy with my Sith Warrior and Sith Sorcerer teaming together. 2nd. All characters should be interactive in your ship and homebase. And when you interact with them, they give you intel on your current quest.

The shae vizla unlock is great!!

Great tips. I learned stuff I didn't know about. :)

Thank you for your helpful videos! I just returned after leaving the game 8 years ago and with all the changes and expansion packs since I'm totally lost and confused LOL

I just found a niche of the niche to consider when leveling. With Onslaught, there are amplifiers that appear on gear. Some of them increase experience point gains from completing certain tasks (missions, PvP, Flashpoints, etc). While these have no real effect when doing story quests, as the higher stats will always be better, in a scenario where you are scaled, like a flashpoint, those amplifiers can help give just that liiiiiiiiittle bit more experience here and there.

My own little guide: 1.: get a guild on the starterplanet, press U to travel to their flagship, retrieve about 1mil credits from your legacy bay to unlock all the important leveling perks like exploration boost. Make sure to have about 3 major exp boosts on you, either by getting them off gtn, guild bank or from the datacube missions on nar shaddaa. On fleet in general chat ask to be invited to someones rishi sh ( ns sh first if u need the exp boosts from datacube missions) and then let them kick you. Now explore the full map of rishi which will get you above level 20 withing 20 min. From here level with flashpoints to level 60 (50 and from there heroics is a bit faster esp with a group). Once lvl 60 play chapter 1 of Kotfe till 66 then do kotet chapters till 70. After that speedrun ossus in about 20mins and do the story missions on onderon. Gz youre done. This will take approx 12-24 hrs depending on how experienced you are, but with double exp around the corner you can level 1-3/4 chars a day if you really want to push it. Enjoy

Thank you so much! Sith Inquisitor and Jedi Consular takes a long time to level up them

At launch I remember the ship missions being the fastest way but recently my guild was down a healer as they quit the game so I changed back to healer but didn't have a con as I hate that class story. A group of 4 of us started at level 1 and basically just the class stories till we got our ships then did heroics and the xp was insane.

This video was very helpful now i can finally get back into swtor without trudging through leveling.

Thank you so much! Keep it up

Great tips, thx

I speedran the class story for 4 of the classes while I was waiting for Onslaught to release, honestly it isn't super difficult to stay a high enough level to keep up with the story if you're subscribed and do one or two side quests per planet, I finished the stories at around level 46-49 on each of the characters, although stacking boosters would definitely help if you're not subscribed.

@Swtorista it's so nice to hear your lovely voice again. Now I'm preferred since no new expansions had been released yet. Besides I've started as F2P way back in 2012 and during my return in 2015 :) I still miss the old UI system it had before KotFE Be safe and be such a sweet girl you always are ;)

I love the video but can you do a video about all the valuable legacy perks that you can unlock? This was very useful! As a returning player, I didn't know about these little known perks. Ex the legacy bank and rocket boot!

Also in the beginning of each class you could not start the story and just Kill enemies till like, level 10 then when the story ACTUALLY starts..... You're a Little OP. ( i've not watched the whole vid, sorry still love the channel and the vids.) Just thought about the title and was thinking of MY way I leveled up.

What the heck??!! I started using the shown speeder like yesterday, what are the odds! :D

I usually add running space missions after your 2nd planet. I usually leave Coruscant at level 24-28. From gearing up on the Fleet station, I launch and take mission in space. These are good for ~3 levels by time I get maxed & can’t fly missions for a week, lol.

You can hit max level in two days top. Finish first three planets and gather a crap ton of XP boosts, once you have like 5-6 of them start doing Heroics, that's pretty much it if you're looking for a max level toon with no titles or whatever, otherwise you'll be ready to hit the new expansion in no time. One day if there's an exp event, like the one coming in few days 25th if I'm correct - you can do it in a matter of hours, just find a mobs farming group. Imp side is on Balmorra, and the Rep I think Alderaan.

The quickest way i've been able to level up as a subscriber is playing flashpoints constantly lots of XP and being boosted to level 70 is an added bonus giving low level chars the chance to deal damage

6:12 For HK-51, I've noticed that if you claim it from Legacy, you only get one sniper rifle with the purple cristal, while if you do the complete quest, you get 2 sniper rifle with the purple cristal (+36 crit). So if you like purple cristals, you might want to do the quest line. I know you can get purple cristal from the Championship vendors on Zakuul (+41), and sometimes on the GTN, but for Free to Play who can't use artifact quality cristals, this is the best they can get. Of course, if you unluck HK-51 from a ranged character for which you don't mind the cristal, you may transfer the cristal to a dual saber caracter through a legacy item.

Well ich leveled 5 Characters to lvl 50 and to the end of there class storys in the last 3 weeks to finally get all 8 done. I saw that the fastest way to level a character is to as you said just do the purple quests or sometimes even just the class quests, depending on your lvl and if you would die if you would just rush further. 3 hour XP-Boosts are granted after completing a class quest so these aren't really a problem to think about and as you said the quick travel maxed out is a life saver xD

that sweet, sweet voice...And of course, next week is the Bonus XP Event! Run heroics all day!!

This channel is awesome.

Im not really looking to lvl up fast but this vid did tell me a few things to do like find a guild and get a ship,im a bounty hunter lvl26 and i dont know where to get a ship but this vid did give me some info ty for thet

Great video - I would also suggest, if you have already run them, skipping the planet story and just sticking to the character storyline. Also heroic or (H2) quests can be a quick way of getting xp. If you can get a like minded player to join you for any of your questing this will cut the time taken as you will fly through neccessary kills even faster. Also, getting onto the next planet as fast as possible is advised as the xp available will exceed that available from earlier planets. Finally, if you are familiar with the game "death porting" is always a fun way of getting around - this is where you kill yourself to end up back at a respawn point which will leave you nearer to your next quest giver.

Get level 15+ Spend credits on Legacy which gives you 6% more XP on killing mobs and can be stacked if upgraded max+ Sub+ use 1 or 3-hour XP boost+Join a guild that has xp boosts+ play Hammer Station Veteran Flashpoint.

For me, it has been basically "run story until you get your ship, after that - do whatever". I used to love leveling up with Flashpoints, but that was from back in the days when the level cap was 60. Nowadays it's just main story to get all the companions and by the time I reach Belsavis, I'm at the cap and I go do something else ... Like roll another Sniper or Operative, coz damn if the Imperial Agent story ain't the best there ever was ! :D

You’re so close to 100000 subs!

I always do first 2 planets for ship then do couple heroics till lvl 30 then you farm warzones til 38 then go hammer station till 75

Swtorista.Very nice and useful video . My opinion as one of the first players involved in this game (since beta) is: fast leveling makes very bad favore for new players.Why I do think so is a matter of long explanation. However there are lots of people who prefers fast leveling, hence I find this is good guide for them.

God I remember the original days of this game. Was a good 2 year period of my life for 12 hours a day.

I really lean on heroic missions on my alts. They might seem slow on some planets, but they give decent XP and give my character a big influx of credits from the rewards, which i can use to buy legacy unlocks.

What armor are you wearing at 6:49? Also I read something about a double exp event starting here in April, do you know when that's happening?

Just bought a new Alienware Laptop after watching some of these Swtor vids. Can’t wait to get back on my Sith Lord and level to 75!!!

If your just playing the story for fun you don't even need to worry about leveling anymore. The planet caps and nerfs make you level up so fast now you could just play through normally and still be maxed out by the end of 3rd chapter of each story

I was thinking of trying to level bounty hunter in Hutta from start aka lvl 1 with assault cannon, only starter missions at first, then simply blasting low level NPCs nearby and stuff.. I want to find, if there isn't any leveling cap on Hutta missions. Crazy idea in itself ! ? Nice videos. WBR.

You are quite the swotr master.

I also use the LvD armor from the event that offers +50% xp with the full set.

I usually do as many quests as I can on the starting planets and slowly start ignoring the side quests the further I get into the story.

Hiya again swtorista been awhile since ive left a comment on your video do to some complications i havent been able to play SWTOR lately only mange to complete sith warrior :/ . but ill be fine just wanted to say thanks for uploading these videos still enjoy seeing videos about swtor. have you ever thought about making a let's play of a character or anything like that?

How about completing the bonus missions? They give some juicy XP. Espacialy those with 3 Parts.

this came out at the perfect time

Have you done/can you do a video on end game gearing/modding of items? I'm a returning player and am still trying to figure out how to properly mod my gear, and I am unsure if I am doing it well.

fast traveling between planets is counterproductive when doing only story quests, you still have to be on ship to start the new planet main quest, therefore I use legacy perk personal ship teleport :)

Ya I’ve been doing speed leveling up with my Jedi consular class and I will be doing it on my Jedi Knight class too. I just need to do it only the other classes I haven’t completed the story class too. I can’t wait to become legendary status

I come to learn how to level fast and ended up finding out sooo much more

Thanks for all your information. Do you have a video on raising your legacy level quicker by chance?

The space bar is my go to just have to remember to not do it while streaming
