Basilisk Prototype Ventures Guide (aka "Bessie")

[@Zw285]

Thanks for making this guide, Swtorista. I don't really have the time to fully commit to SWTOR these days and thus probably would never have found out this stuff out on my own.

[@SignoftheMagi]

Bessie is best dog. This Companion feels like she was designed to help re-engage players into Reputation zones, to fill in endgame content. But...at keast there is a story to it.

[@Swtorista]

I think so, the reputation thing!

[@SpoonyBard-mx1ve]

I like the idea of a new companion that can be extremely good but you gotta build it up, here’s to hoping they make an HK droid with this system

[@jacobmulherin1805]

These videos are super helpful, you're my #1 go to anytime i fall off the wagon run back after that krayt dragon

[@braveheart8612]

Hello Swtorista, i return to the game last week. It's so great as usually.

[@Swtorista]

[@TheRoyalRancor]

[@Swtorista]

So bloody grindy

[@nogz01]

I finally finished it. The companion is pretty strong, her heals are on par with Zoom and dps is better than Shae. Tips: Use a stealth character, it speeds up things when doing missions. Also ALWAYS pick the heroic missions, it gives you extra currency. If you really want to rush it, you can server transfer to abuse the weekly cap. I'd reach weekly caps then I server transfer to keep doing missions until I reach the weekly cap on the new server.

Extremely helpful as always, thank you so much :)

[@USMC6976]

The reason for only doing two dailies: if you have more training missions on that planet, you can do another, and again only do two dailies. At one point in the progression, you will be told besi needs 5 training modules completed on a specific plan

[@gnost3k144]

Thank you so much for this! =D

[@nightfallgaming8346]

I mean its cool, but if it is just another companion that isn't any better then whats the point? When i first got the quest i was excited but after hearing the companion isnt anything special that kinda just killed it for me. Like a 2 month grind for what? Especially if it's gonna frustrate me doesn't really seem worth it. The video is super helpful, and it will probably be something i do over the course of the next 6 months when im bored so ill probably be revisiting this one. Thanks for all the hard work, im sure grinding through all that was definitely a challenge lol.

Bessie aka "Walking Arsenal of Armageddon." And don't tell me that droids have no feelings.

[@Swtorista]

dog droid!

[@Kashranox]

Bessie is best girl!

[@raulciprianpop5106]

Heya😌 I started the game and I must say that I love it and your content is really good and it helps me a lot! I have an high end computer with an 4080 super but game still runs potato some times :( anyway, would you still recommend it to play?

[@jim-bob3093]

Iv got exactly 2 months sub, and I just hit lvl 5 and now beginning my agressive 'extensively plan to get 3 manual into 60min' recon

[@TheHitsJustKeepComin]

So I have 12 Level 50 companions on my main character. It seems like I am grinding another companion that will be no better - or at best MARGINALLY better - than the companions I already have. For those players that already have Bessie leveled out, am I wrong?

[@Swtorista]

Yep she doesn't seem much better in terms of combat. I've heard she is roughly equal to Shae Vizla.

[@TheHitsJustKeepComin]

@@Swtorista Ok - you have confirmed for me what I thought. And since 95% of all players won't notice a DPS/HPS/tank difference between Shae and say Skadge, sounds like the Bessie crusade wouldn't be worth it to me. Appreciate the help and really enjoy your videos - keep up the great work!

[@Night-ec7ef]

I was wondering why it didn't show up for me during the newest story quest. I didn't know you have to grant it to yourself.

[@Swtorista]

I wasn't quite sure either haha.

[@mr.x7583]

hello how many days or week i need to fully upgrade her ? i am in lvl 5

[@short72hp1]

[@andreasestrella1151]

Its so dumb how it says do it in your own time then ur subscription runs out and you cant do it

[@VanelekLev]

I done only 5 stages and drop it, super unfun grinding useless daylies, they shld atleast set heroics mission for quests, not daylies.

[@realKarlFranz]

2 months to fully unlock that companion accountwide? That's way too long. It should not take more than a few hours or days. This is even more of a chore than having to go through the hunt for the parts for hk-51 for the first time.

[@redeyejedi1484]

That's a lot of repetitive busy work to keep us busy while they finish the story..

[@grahamcollins5416]

It's a miserable, time-gated grind. ...the kind of problem developers cause on purpose, to sell (or more likely, only rent) us a fix. My guess is Ventures will be monetized in the Holiday update.

[@Swtorista]

They are already monetized, as they require a subscription to play.

[@grahamcollins5416]

@@Swtorista I mean monetized on top of the subscription. I can't imagine they'd create such a headache without intending to charge us additional rent for relief.
