Jedi
Jedi is a profession that has a unlock process that is unique to Star Wars Galaxies Restoration. Jedi has various restrictions and mechanics that are specific to characters that are Jedi, enabling them to be a very strong in comparison to non-Jedi characters. This strength is at the expense of possibly being hunted by
NPC specialists, NPC inquisitors, and players.
Unlocking Jedi
The Jedi profession is introduced after the player becomes a
Force Sensitive after a certain point, and progressing far enough into the
unlock process. You are given a choice to convert you character into a Jedi profession. You
cannot revert this decision or transfer the Jedi unlock to another character.
If you opt to convert that character into a Jedi, your account will be granted an additional character slot.
- You can claim this additional character slot by logging in and entering the command
/occupyUnlockedSlot
- You may also transfer the additional character slot to another character if you wish, by entering the command
/vacateUnlockedSlot on that character
Experience, Quests, and Levelling
Levelling Jedi on Star Wars Galaxies Restoration is at a
2x experience rate. Due to the higher experience rate of quests, it is
heavily recommended that all who want to make a Jedi save their quests for an extremely fast path to full template. The Jedi can make a basic training saber and farm up enough experience to Lightsaber 2xxx (or Lightsaber xx2x for the spin attack in order to spin attack terminals), then they should turn in quests with their lightsaber equipped.
The reason is due to experience being
capped at double your next skill box. For instance, from Novice Lightsaber, any one of the next boxes (first box of any of the trees) costs 200,000 experience. Thus, your total Jedi experience cap is at 400,000. If you were to learn Lightsaber 1xxx, Lightsaber 2xxx requires 400,000 experience and you will now have a Jedi experience cap of 800,000. Higher level quests with proper buffs can easily exceed 200,000 experience - plan accordingly.
Visibility can be evaded when turning in quests by equipping the lightsaber out of line of sight from a humanoid, then interacting with the quest giver nearby to turn it in.
When levelling, Jedi should receive the
Flush with Success and Melee Speed buffs from entertainers, alongside doctor buffs. The Jedi should also receive 1000 rested bonus from entertainers before heading out to level.
Force Disciplines
The Jedi profession consists of five trees, referred to as Force Disciplines. The player will be able to spend their Skill Points in these five trees to shape their own playstyle and flavor of Jedi.
- Force Defense
- Force Enhancement
- Force Healing
- Force Powers
- Lightsaber
Gear
As a Jedi, you will be using
different equipment and weapons compared to non-Jedi characters.
The main differences being robes and cloaks instead of armor — lightsabers instead of blasters or swords.
Visibility and Jedi Lives
As a Jedi, you do not want to attract attention to yourself. You want to remain hidden and limit your
visibility.
Jedi are given a certain number of lives, depending on their rank. Once a Jedi has exhausted all of their lives, they will become a
Force Ghost.
- A Jedi will lose 1 life if they die in the context of Player versus Environment (PvE)
- A Jedi will lose all lives if they die in the context of Player versus Player (PvP)
| Rank | Lives | Ghost Time |
|---|
| Jedi Padawan | 4 Lives | 18 |
| Jedi Knight | 6 Lives | 48 Hours + (12 Hours * FRS Rank, where Knight = 1) from Death (to be determined) |
Force Ghost
As a Force Ghost, the player will not be able to interact with the environment or other players.
They are restricted from:
- Combat
- Trading with other players
- WIP
Alongside these restrictions, Jedi will also incur an XP loss of 500,000 Jedi General XP upon becoming a Force Ghost:
- If the death that caused the Jedi to become a Force Ghost was caused by a Bounty Hunter or another Visibility-related consequence, such as an Inquisitor, the XP lost is 1,000,000 Jedi General XP
- If the player has negative Jedi General XP after this loss, they will lose one of their highest-trained Jedi Discipline skills.
- The XP from that skill will be refunded to the player so that they once again have positive XP
- If a player has no Jedi Discipline skills to lose, they will remain in negative XP
