While many of us have been following the SWTOR update for some time and know what is coming, it never hurts to have a recap and for those who have not been following, let’s take a look at what you can expect from Game Update 2.9.

  1. Galactic Strongholds
  2. Decorations
  3. Guild Ships and Conquest
  4. New Crafting Schematics
  5. Forged Alliances: Part II

This update is focusing on changes that help people who like to role play, socialize, craft and more. It’s geared

So let’s take a look at each of these five things in more detail.

Preferred have access in a month and free to play have access in about two months.

Decorations: Decorations are what make your Stronghold unique and you can decorate yours in a variety of ways. They can be placed on hooks that can be rearranged as you choose. You can also decide where to place the item in the hook. This gives you some freedom to decorate how you want and personalize your space. However, this freedom will cost you and mission rewards, credits, reputation vendors, random drops, achievements and more.

 

level 55 players have an advantage.

 

New Crafting Schematics: We also have new crafting schematics to look forward to, which is great for those who love crafting. These were added to Strongholds and Guild Ships and Conquests. There will also be new Grade 7 Exotic Mats. Industrial and Synthetic Prefabs and War Supplies are able to be crafted by having only 1 character with 1 crafting skill. Invasion Forces, Universal Prefabs, and Dark Projects are more complicated.
