Corellia - Black Hole dailies!
2012-03-20 23:30:40Hey everyone, this is Dulfy from dulfy.net! The Corellia dailies just opened up on the Public Test Server (PTS) so here is my writeup on it. I want to give a huge thanks to Tesar from <The Sundered Guard> who helped me with gathering the information and did the initial writeup as I was unable to do the dailies on the PTS myself since my main was not copied over yet! Here is Tesar with his badass dual lightsabers! (p.s. The Sundered Guard is recruiting a powertech tank on Warriors of the Shadow server for 1.2 content if anyone interested in applying!). This will be the Empire version right now but I will add in the Republic version soon!
Some quick points for those not interested in reading too much
- Quest chain starts with Sergeant Karloss in Imperial Fleet inner ring.
- Head to Corellia, take shuttle to Black Hole, talk to General Konya
- Grab the 5 solo dailies: No Trace Left, Control the Battlefield, Asset Liquidation, Glow, Hypermatter Directive from the mission terminals
- After you finish the 5 solo dailies, you will be given the heroic 4+ daily from the mission terminal called The End of Torvix.
- Each solo daily give you 7 k credits and 1 Daily Commendation. That is right, they are giving out daily commendations, not Black Hole Commendations. The daily Asset Liquidation give out 2 Daily Commendations and 11 k in credits since it has multiple steps.
- The Heroic 4+ daily give out 3 Daily Commendations
- The weekly give out 6 Black Hole Commendations (a gear on average costs 30+ Black Hole Commendations)
- New items on Daily Commendation vendors
Where to start
You will want to head to the Imperial Fleet – Valken Spacedocks and look for a NPC called Sergeant Karloss.
Once you find him, he will give you a quest that sends you to Corellia.
Once you arrive on Corellia, there is a shuttle right outside the space port that will take you to the Black Hole!
Head to the Horizon Outpost, level 2 and talk to General Konya and pick up dailies from the mission terminal. You can also pick up a weekly which is essentially asks you to complete all the dailies.
No Trace Left
Its objective is to identify 3 Torvix spies.
For this quest you pretty much just run around the room and use the quest item to find the 3 spies. Pretty simple and no fighting involved!
Control the Battlefield
This is a daily that takes place in the same area as Asset Liquidation and requires only killing 12 mobs rather than 20 (also has only one step). Quick and easy daily!
Asset Liquidation
The first part of this quest is fairly simple – kill 20 mobs. After you done that, step 2 has you destroy 6 Torvix munition caches. .
This is followed by step 3, destroying the Comm Tower and recover T-5R7 memory core (elite mob).
Glow
First you need to grab an anti-rad injector from the nearby mobs, this will protect you from the nasty stuff in the questing environment. This is also where the first console is located for rerouting the pipelines.
Once you have that, you will be asked to reroute 4 Hypermatter Pipelines. These pipeslines are located in a room filled with radioactive water so you will need that injector to protect you (without the injector, the water will kill you in 5-6 seconds. Every tick is a DoT that stacks and deals more damage with more stacks). This injector will protect you from 10 ticks of the damage but you can loot more from the mobs in the area.
The tip here is to never fight in the water as that will drain your protection quick. Fight on land where there isn’t any radioactive water.
The rest of the consoles are located to the left of the radioactive water and on the other side.
Hypermatter Directive
The objective of this daily mission is to steal 5 Emergency Hypermatter Supplies.
You will be given a probe droid with a flashlight that will help you navigate the room. This mission has sort of a “Splinter Cell” feel to it. Initially there are no mobs present – but there are probes being deployed around the room that scans within a certain radius. If you are detected, a strong level mob will spawn and attack you. You objective is to retrieve these small boxes in the room that “glows”.
The End of Torvix – Heroic 4+
This is a heroic 4+ quest located in the Hypermatter tower. This mission is fairly challenging and does not appear to be soloable with the current gear. I was able to solo it all the way to the last boss fight but the 2nd swarm was a bit too much for me and my companion to handle. It shouldn’t be diffcult to duo it with a partner and 2 companions. Y
There isn’t anything to remarkable to talk about any of the fights in the mission. After the last fight is over, you have a little puzzle to complete. The goal is to reroute the toxic liquid from left side of the wall to the right by using 3 buttons on the consoles. These buttons will connect the tubes in different ways. Each button handles a different pipe, so just play around with it until it all connects correctly!
The reward for the heroic daily is 3 Commendations, 16k credits and a choice between a level 50 blue prototype box or an orange moddable box.
The weekly reward is 6 Black Hole commendations and 16k credits.
So in total, these 5 solo dailies give you 6 Daily Commendations and around 40 k credits. The heroic one give you 3 Daily Commendations and 16 k credits. Each day just from Corellia you can earn 9 Daily Commendations and 50-60 k credits. Not bad!
For comparison Ilum give you 8 daily commendations and Belsavis give you 17 Daily Commendations. So you can earn 34 Daily Commendations a day assuming the Ilum ones are not bugged!
New Items on Daily Commendation vendors
The Daily Commendation vendors (Mission Support Vendors) sell some new stuff!
The schematic produce +41 crystals.
The Relics are actually better than the current ones that drops from nightmare operations.
The vendor also sell some construction kits (Head & Legs slot) that are used for the Legacy armor (low level stuff) which you can read about here!
