SWTOR Solo Story Order Guide

[@mrbill4206]

They should make all flashpoints solo friendly.

[@ryanfitzpatrick6999]

a little late but im pretty sure the update was there beforehand... there are story mode flashpoints! open the group finder window, select the solo tab on the top and choose the flashpoint you wanna do

[@mrbill4206]

@@ryanfitzpatrick6999 I know but they all should be solo ready. It's even more aggravating when you do normal solo quest strings up to the final stage and then it's a 4 man .

[@wag-wankenobi1626]

@@ryanfitzpatrick6999 The issue is that maybe half of the flashpoints have a "story" mode but all the others only have the modes built for 4 man teams, such as Hammer Station. And now they're all adjusted to be lvl80 in veteran mode, which makes them significantly more difficult to solo.

[@Ti38ismyhero]

The story of flashpoints is that you are part of a strike team to go in. They weren't originally meant to be solo Mmo still remember?

[@bigdog3628]

would love it if they made all the dread master operations a solo version like the Revan one was.

[@EskimowSC]

This video has perfect timing for me. Coming back after 6 years, I definitely needed a guide for the expansions. Thank you.

[@Swtorista]

welcome back!

[@rangerslayer2260]

My rule of thumb was for first time players, play the class story with the planet story side by side for both sides. When you start your second character, you are free to choose whether you want to do the planet story or come back to it later since the planet is the same no matter.

Please do not do this. I did this for Smuggler on Balmorra and it was a shit storm trying to figure out what was what with the storyflow

[@Quasar634]

​@@TraceguyRune As someone who is doing this rn, yes, the stories feel like they are all over the place since it's difficult to keep track of which is which, although it is relatively faster

@@Swtorista I just wanted to repeat the thanks; I got into SWTOR around 3 months ago after seeing one of your videos, and have now put in over 160 hours! Your breakdowns and academy videos have been a game changer; I like that you’re passionate and enjoy the game with out trying to encourage blatant power gaming, and you always encourage us to engage with other players! I’m rambling, but all that to say- Thank you! My SWTOR experience wouldn’t be the same without the guides (like this one) that you put out. 🙏🏽

[@LuulitaCD]

Great overview as always :) I'd like to add that the two twin flashpoints after the second Taris/Balmorra split don't happen at the same time, and to get the cronology right, you need to do the Republic side FPs first, and the Imperial side second. It's not the biggest of deals, but some may find this important.

[@katerinaFM]

True, it does make narrative sense.

[@Hybrid980]

Thanks for this video as it serves as a reminder for a returning player such as myself. I remember RP'ing a Sith Warrior who was the descendant of Freedon Nadd via one of Onderon's noble families, made a whole backstory and remember in my mind coming up with every reason for why my character was doing what he was doing, how his trip to Alderaan deepened his connection to the dark side as it reminded him of his own home and made him more angry and hateful because he despises how the Republic removed Onderon's identity, but my flaw was focusing too much on getting the Freedon Nadd armor set, as it was integral to my RP because my character longed to have it in his possession as he viewed it as his birthright. Due to how broken the economy is, I spent WEEKS, even MONTHS grinding, making millions of credits only to be able to ultimately afford three parts of the armor set, and I realized after that just how burnt out I was, and stopped playing SWTOR as passionately as I once did, I took a huge break, intermittently getting on now and again, but ultimately never got back my passion that was once there. Now however, I think that passion has returned, though now I think my RP's will not be so reliant on getting a armor set. 😂🤣

[@mbraden66]

I have owned the game since it came out. Played on and off over the years. Started playing again and noticed if you use the boost to 70, you can't go back and do the chapter 1-3 in for the class quests. I just did the Jedi Sage story by using a non-boosted character. Took far longer than I thought it would take. Trying Smuggler/Gunslinger now. One thing I don't like are the flashpoints which you can't do in story mode, i.e. you need a group.

[@nolgroth]

Oh. Thanks for that info. I just started playing again and was wondering if I should use that Level 70 boost. Since I don't remember any of the stories, despite finishing Jedi Knight and almost finishing Trooper. Might still make one to see how it is geared. My level 65 JK and 64 Trooper feel anemic and all the gearing guides I've found are for level 80 gear.

[@MoodyBlag]

What's crazy to me as a returning player on and off for the last few years, is the fact that to be the correct level range so say 15 - 18 for coruscant to get to 15 you had to do all the quests on a planet. Or you could run the heroics a couple of times instead. Nowadays if I do the class story and the planet story I'm overleveled it's crazy how it's changed

[@Ohmygodstfu2045]

Heck your over level half the time of you do the flashpoint too

Very much appreciated guide , this! As a returning player ( a while back), who missed the release of all the expansion packs , I got utterly confused what's what.

[@MisterAnemeros]

After several years of dabbling with the game and only ever finishing it with one character, I decided to only focus on the class story, occasionally doing a flashpoint or two to catch up if I fall behind in levels. Since doing this I've finished two more character stories and managed to avoid burnout. Now more invested than ever.

Well apparently I misssed directive 7. Honnestly i think i will have to continue to play solo because doing the flashpoint between each story in the right order with pick up groups while underquipped is exposing yourself to a lot of deaths, insults and frustration. And as I play the game for exploration and story, I really hate crafting and having to grind in order to get a good enough gear.

When I was playing the game I would start level farming as often as I could. I want my characters to be as strong as possible before diving into the quests any further.

[@NigelThornberg]

I’m an on and off player, but my experience with MMO raids was from DCUO where I was a first time healer, and within 30 seconds everyone on my squad ran off in different directions, and I tried to run and heal but there was no tank or DPS to protect me and we all died, and someone messaged me saying I suck and should start over with a different character, and I’m like “Bruh y’all ran away, what the fuck am I supposed to do if my abilities can’t reach you?” So since then, I’ve been terrified of doing any co-op activities, so SWTOR was amazing by giving a solo experience alongside the group stuff.

As a side note all characters storyline finish after defeating Revan, you can still play as other characters but the story becomes a Jedi Knight storyline. I played as a consular and I could tell the focus had shifted to a single character and even though I was a Jedi, the story felt off and realise it fitted better with a JK. I can’t say what happens in the expansions after the Emperor because A) the expansion happened during the writers strike so your character was unvoiced, and B) I gave up on SWTOR
