And here are some details for you folks who don't wish to go over to the official site...

Wookiee Armor
This update to the game brings us the much anticipated Kashyyykian Hunting and Black Mountain Armor! The intermediate set of armor is the set of Kashyyykian Hunting and there is the fabled Black Mountain Armor for the Wookiees who are taking the fight to the Empire.

Swoop Race #2
Fly your speeder Old Mos Espa Arena Circuit along the same course as Anakin Skywalker in The Phantom Menace! Be sure to check out the Old Mos Espa Arena Circuit by starting at Tatooine 2380, 5000.

Crafting Quests
Located in Commercial Guild Halls located in static cities now have NPC contractors that can give out new crafting missions. There are mission difficulties of easy, challenging and difficult depending the skill boxes a player possesses. The rewards granted are some credits and a small experience point bonus associated with crafting the item. The goal of the implementation of the "Crafting Quests" is to provide our wide variety of crafting professions the chance to use/sell their otherwise obsolete items and wares, creating a market for novice and intermediate crafters in a market of masters.

Now that I go back and read what I actually posted

"rewards granted are some credits and a small experience point bonus associated with crafting the item."
They say this is to help the lower skilled crafters in a "market of masters" but I don't see how. Does anyone have any insight about these crafters missions and if Master crafters should even bother to try them?

Can someone find me some pics of the new armor? I'm curious as to how ridiculous they look this time.

Are the race tracks difficult? And, if so, are they worth it?

they aren't that difficult, but they are impossible to get the top score for the day right now (to get the badge)

I have been racing the agrilat one almost every day on a swoop, and can't get closer than 20-30 secs to the top score for the day, so people are either using the av21 or are using their jedi powers to speed boost vehicles (it is an actual skill in game, though I don't remember any jedi driving their vehicle faster in the movies )

I did the track on Corellia. It was fun once. But some people really get into it. I was standing there chatting with friends. The same people kept doing the track to try and beat their best times.

I'd say it is definately worth trying, and you might find yourself getting hooked.

The droid announces your time when you check in. It would not be too hard to set up a little contest. Give everyone 3 tries and the best time wins. Of course money would have to be on the line.

BTW... My time was way better than Novall's on the Agrilat Swamp track.

AV21 dont count woman!!

How did Ekade get an AV-21? Did she just charm all the troops and droids on the Corvette? Damn Twi'lek dancers and their seductive ways! They shouldn't be..... uh....guh.....yes mistress.... I understand..... at your will.

I dont have an AV21 (I wish I did). I was kicking your slow ass on my trusty old swoop.

Maybe if you spent a little less time on your clothes and hair you might become a capable driver some day. :P :P :P

Ok, i think first i need to introduce.

That fellow dancer lured me here. The purple one

It isn't impossible.
I got the badge for the Agrilat swamp just about a week ago. With a swoop. Without jedi powers

But i don't know what the curent best times are, maybe there are more jedi around now. I don't know about the AV-21's though, some people with AV's didn't beat my best time, so they are not that much faster on the Agrilat course or there were just crappy drivers around on the day i got my badge

And i will get that Mos Espa badge too, even if it takes me weeks to do it my dear Ekade

Welcome Dasumi, we're glad to have you.

Until I have to worry about Tusken taking pot-shots at my speeder and big rocks sending me straight to the goddess at several kilometers per hour then I'm not rushing out to do these races.... maybe.

Badges, yes, must have more badges.
