Bio Break

Bio Break is a blog written by a gamer named Syd who’s been wandering the MMORPG world for quiet a while and has seen a decent number of games. Someday I’ll compare the list of games I’ve played with Syd’s list. His is similar to mine, but mine seems to start earlier.

As many players at the moment, he’s started to play SWTOR and is writing about it. See for yourself for his recent exploits. Worth mentioning is also his long blogroll, which forces me to follow each single one of them.

SWTOR Flashpoint Black Talon Video Walkthrough

Here’s a video walking you through the Black Talon flashpoint.  It focuses much more on the boss fights taking place within the flashpoint than showing the dialogue, as other videos do.

SWTOR Reverse Engineering Guide

Posted by FelizB on Dec 19, 2011 in Guides, Star Wars: The Old Republic | 0 comments

All you want to know about Reverse Engineering in SWTOR and then some more can be found in this great guide at the  SWTOR main site: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=45866. Unfortunately, it has not been stickied, but hopefully it won’t get buried.

The guide contains information on what items can be reverse engineered and about the general results of reverse engineering: materials and improved schematics / recipes. It discusses the potential results of RE’ing items of the different item qualities (color coded: green, blue, purple and orange).

Crafted gear will have prefixes who describe which attributes are improved on the item. This guide has a table to decode those prefixes.
