Would it be possible to get some vids of the weapons? to hear what they sound like. And that HK customization is sick
- Dulfy
  
  Not possible because the event is not running on PTS and you need reputation to buy it. I will be able to get some videos once 2.3 goes live in august.
  - JamieJ
    
    Hey Dulfy correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t Eric Musco say the event will come a week after 2.3 hits the live servers?
    - Dulfy
      
      yup
      - JessicaM
        
        oh, ok. that makes sense
Sarigar

So the BH-7X customization is a skin for HK-51? That is excellent! Has a very “lived in” kind of look to it. I like the bike a lot too. Looks like my main BH will have some style upgrades coming soon. I just hope the new blaster pistol has a ka-boom! sound to it, not the usual “veep veep” they throw on their pistols.
- Dulfy
  
  Yup is for HK!
Iskalen

I never thought they’d introduce bowcasters. They look fantastic.
- Ryan Wilkins
  
  They’ve had bowcasters in the game for a long time. This is just the first time they’ve become available since the original event they came from ended.
Robert Hindy

Are the “Hanger Customizations” on the PTS? The ones featured here: http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/swtor-patch-2.3-hanger-decorations.jpg And do they provide any perks?

Thanks for putting these items on your website.
- Dulfy
  
  Did not see that one at all.
  - david2tm
    
    it’s a lie 🙂 I can see BH-7X on a pic =))) so you did see it
    
    not sure if HK-51 counts as hangar decoration thou )
    - mstieler
      
      I’m going to guess BH-7X in the picture does not equal HK customization. BH is likely one of the NPCs from the BBA, and you can then buy the customization to make HK look like BH.
zmyslony

Is it possible to get legend rank within this one week while the event is active? or will it return very soon after the first time?
- Dulfy
  
  No idea
- JamieJ
  
  They said this event will reaccure once every month if I am not mistaken
David Pielmeier

Well, I was gonna farm a gree mainhand pistol for helix coms but I like the look of the Heavy Modified Blaster Carbine so much more! I guess I have a reason to do the Bounty Hunter event quests now. Thank goodness it’s only friend level.
Aesrik

Dulfy, what’s the Ewok for? Which companion? Or is it a pet? Thanks in advance. Awesome as usual!
- Dulfy
  
  http://dulfy.net/2013/06/28/swtor-new-ewok-companion-treek/
  - Aesrik
    
    Oh, thanks so much! That’s really cool.
dbaswell

Neat, the better looking Bowcaster is the easier one to get, and cheaper to boot. I have been saying how much I wish I hadn’t started playing during the Chevin event because it’s one of the blaster looks I really want for my Agent.
AshlaBoga

Things I’m excited for:

Legacy Smuggler Hat
Kell Drake Pet (I keep losing the roll in HM S+V 🙁 )
HK-51 Customization
Carnius

This is great, all the stuff I’m interested in snagging is going to be easy to obtain! Mwahahaha.
Turelus

Seems a giant FU to F2P/Preferred players though with the costs of the items.
- Konoha the Wiper
  
  well they did say they were going to update with things that would be mainly for SUBs but even a sub doesnt want to have spend lots of money, its not really a benefit besides f2p can use cash escrow
  - Turelus
    
    Yeah. I mean I am subbed myself so I’m not super upset, but it seems like a bit of a kick to the poor people who want stuff. (also a massive credit sink for a time)
    - zmyslony
      
      Events were not designed for F2P people from the begining. They gain half reputation so it’s nothing new they don’t care about it.
      - Pyckum
        
        Even if they were, us preferred/f2p players can’t even really use the gear from these events. Once you star gear progression you can tear any of the mods/enhancements/armoring out from ops, so you can only really use the speeders and companions.
        
        Its all about getting us to buy more stuff from the cartel markets to keep up with you subs. But I know a secret. I just buy all their shit off the gtn. Bwahaha! (I have spent over $100 dollars on the game, so please don’t grief me with the not paying for content :P)
        
        BrianDavion
        
        BW doesn’t care in the end someone’s buying your stuff
        
        Draec
        
        Somebody is paying for the content and that’s fine. I’m a sub, but I buy unlocked for stuff I need all the time off the GTN, simply because I sleep on a bed of credits and I’d rather spend those than CC. But someone bought it, and BW still gets money, and I do infact want that.
    - ChampStanley
      
      I think they need to price things with a realistic understanding of where the in-game economy is. Not counting the high end stuff that sells for millions, selling even moderately in demand gear and unlocks can make anyone with enough seed credits or cartel coins to burn rich. I only dabble in the GTN, most of my credits come from ops trash and weekly quests, and even I’ll be able to afford Treek and any of the other rewards I fancy without feeling a bite to my bottom line.
T’litha

great post as always dulfy, quick question are the armor’s able to be dyed? might be a silly question but im just curious.

also any chance of posting the items available from the other reputation vendor aswell?
- Dulfy
  
  Not sure, can’t buy them yet to test it out
- Vasdrakken
  
  While you can’t buy them yet they are all dye-able since they have a dye slot.
  
  I took a bunch of shots with the dyes I had on hand, this is from the preview window but should be accurate since they list the dye slot. The smuggler looking stuff requires newcomer and BH looking stuff requires Hero, and the helm requires champ.
  
  That said both chest pieces are sweet looking, and look good in the red & white security key dye. Also the new skin for HK requires legend rep with the new faction.
  
  Last there is legacy vendor with some sort of contract item that requires legacy 40! I’m kinda curious as to why time was spent on content for the handful of people. Just dropping that down to legacy 20 or 30 would increase that number from a handful of people to thousands.
  - Dulfy
    
    That legacy 40 stuff is just the Ewok companion
    - BrianDavion
      
      and a lotta people these days do have a legacy 40+ the odd thing to make those high legacy’s worthwhile isn’t a abd move. I’ve been legacy 50 for a long time now
      - David Pielmeier
        
        Yeah I see more and more “Living Legends” running around every day.
Messerpemsel

Recycled armor. Recycled mount. Recycled weapons. Ok, everyone now can have a bowcaster and they are not in kindergarden colors.

A different robot style is ok. Is the Treek customization different from her default look?

Funny, the blaster pistol is based on a blaster rifle model. This will look funny. I will get two for my slinger.
- Chakra
  
  Yeah, i suspect this is their answer to all the requests to let bounty hunters use rifles/carbines.
  Not the best solution if you ask me tho.

Question about the “Heavy Modified Blaster Carbine”: is it “Main Hand/Offhand”?
Thanks!
- James Smith
  
  A carbine is a short rifle.
  - asdalmeida
    
    But in this case it is a PISTOL. Hence, the question. 🙂
    - Dulfy
      
      just checked for you, it is mainhand/offhand.
      - Chakra
        
        Oh boy, that is gonna look wierd dual wielding…
        
        rushz
        
        better than the heavy nebula blaster dual wielded
      - asdalmeida
        
        Thanks!
Chewy Yui

Yes! The bowcasters are back! 😀 Missed them in the Great Arms race thing
DJ

Can we get a —>((NEW))<— Scorpio customization as well please?
Messerpemsel

Why is vox mortis from darthhater holding the blaster pistol like a rifle?

http://media-titanium.cursecdn.com/attachments/51/283/swtor-2013-06-28-13-03-18-55.jpg
- Dulfy
  
  He is holding it wrong or something bugged on his end.
  - BrianDavion
    
    are you sure he IS holding it wrong though? There’s been a LOT of powertech players saying from launch that they wish they could have a carbine. so it might be a blaster pistol that’s essentially a rifle apperance wise. there’s a precident for it with Corso’s Blaster Torchy. a rifle that looks like a pistol
    - Dulfy
      
      I checked on 3 different characters and they all hold it like a pistol.
  - asdalmeida
    
    I wouldn’t be surprised. In game, if you are previewing different kinds of weapons (sabers followed by rifles followed by pistols followed by vibroswords followed by… you get the idea ;)) sometimes you’ll end up with your character holding them “funny”.
    
    In this case I wouldn’t be surprised if he was previewing the various bowcasters and then previewed the pistol and ended up with the screenshot we see there.
- ChampStanley
  
  Why not ask him and not Dulfy?
- rushz
  
  maybe the reason is that they just took a rifle skin and used it as a pistol ^^
Thaladar

I love the 2nd helmet – looks like Shae Vizla’s. But the helmet doesn’t match the armor at all. The armor set goes with the first helmet. Then, they just stuck in a second helmet that didn’t match. Why not do the full Shae Vizla armor set instead of sticking the helmet with a completely different armor set?
- OutFromUnder
  
  This concerned me too, but it looks like it matches better in this picture (from DH):
- Dulfy
  
  Looks like the female helmet is bugged and doesn’t color match in previews, I added some male screens from the NPC wearing it and it does color match
  - Thaladar
    
    Is it just me, or does the helmet come out a much brighter color than the chest and other pieces which you colormatch? For example, look at Black/Red dye and color match. The helmet is a bright red, but the other armor pieces are a dark red. It matches, but not really.
- Vos_L
  
  The BH legacy “Hunter’s Exalted” set is patterned after Shae Vizla’s armor so they’ve already done that set.
  - Thaladar
    
    Mmm. Not quite. I have the Hunter’s Exalted set and it’s quite a bit different than Shae’s armor. The Hunter’s Exalted is a reskin of other armor like TT-17A Hydra. Shae’s armor is unique and I haven’t seen anything like it in-game yet.
    - Pedro Schwartz
      
      Also the Legacy BH set is not adaptable,its something Bioware`s missing for a long time: adabtable Shae Vizla Armor
holinyx

really love the look of that blaster carbine…any idea if Mercs can use 2? or is it mainhand only?
- Dulfy
  
  Yes you can dual wield them
  - holinyx
    
    Thanks !!

What about the Master Hunter Helm seen at the bottom of the items vendor?
- Dulfy
  
  That is the bounty hunter helm shown with the contract hunter set.
  - Tyler Stewart
    
    Ah! Thanks so much, the icon is different from the helmet though. Also i was just was on the PTS and the 1 mil. credits to start the BH rep line seems kind of dumb since when your transfer you don’t have any credits……
  - Rumena
    
    Dulfy can I ask about the customazation for the HK….is it for HK-51 or someone else?
    - Dulfy
      
      It is for HK-51
      - ciphen
        
        is this the very first customization for HK-51
        
        Dulfy
        
        I believe so yes
Konoha the Wiper

I actually don’t like any of this stuff
Enomeg

That Heavy armor is awesome! I like the armor that the NPC in the picture has, but I hope I can change the color to white or gray for my Commando. I don’t understand it, but most of the Trooper armor doesn’t look as good on Troopers because I hate having a giant backpack. These are perfect!
Master Kenth

why cant they add a simple hat, without the face thing….like in the trailer 🙁 so sad ….
- Gustav
  
  I, sadly, believe the sides of the hat are there to hide the fact that they either can’t or won’t put in the work required to properly show the hair underneeth.
ciphen

Are they gonna make the HK customization available on the market as they did Treek?
LordReginaldTheThird

they should make a bowcaster pistol for bounty hunter
- Rico
  
  SWG much? 😀 I like it!
darkfather

1 mil credits for a frakin HK skin? Are you KIDDING ME? Ridiculous
- The Man in Black
  
  It’s 1 million credits for each HK, I don’t see why his customizations would be any different.
PeterGriffin

They think every player has millions upon millions of credits. Some people barely have enough for Ops repairs, or the 3 hours it takes to do all the dailies. Come on Bioware.
- Moises5287
  
  If you have barely enough, you’re doing something wrong. Gettin creds in this game is really easy. And dailys doesn’t take that long if you know how to do them properly.
David Pielmeier

Do we know anything about the missions and mission rewards associated with this event yet?
- Dulfy
  
  Nope, not yet.
- Tyler Stewart
  
  Only that on the PTS it is 1 mil credits to start the mission chain :/
  - David Pielmeier
    
    I thought it was only 1 mil to start the mission chain for the new companion. I don’t think its 1 mil to do quests there to gain rep.
    - Tyler Stewart
      
      Nope, to contact the BBA (Bounty Broker’s Association) Its 1 mil credits. That includes the chain 🙁
      - David Pielmeier
        
        That can’t be right, supposedly this event is for everyone from level 15 up. I can’t imagine they would exclude a lot of people who only have lowbie toons like that.
        
        Angus Batkin
        
        i cant think of many guildies at with multiple 55 alts who would pay 1mil to start it even – highly doubt itll cost anywhere near that if anything.
      - Dulfy
        
        No that is incorrect, it is only for the companion and the prices are PTS prices, the BBA quest chain will not be available in PTS
        
        Tyler Stewart
        
        ah seems I was mistaken, sorry guys 🙂
Messerpemsel

Is the blaster pistol main- and offhand? I hope so. Only mainhand would be very bad for my gunslinger.
- Dulfy
  
  It is both, see the new video I uploaded 🙂
CarlosTrevisan

I love the “Heavy Modified Blaster Carbine”. Perfect for Powertech. And BH armor and Helmets adaptative? I was looking for this to my Engineer! Great.

PS: Dulfy, how do change the camera to make these shots. On my toons the camare its aways on back
- Dulfy
  
  Engineer? Wrong game? But yes they are adaptive. You can swing the camera by holding down left mouse button.
  - CarlosTrevisan
    
    Sniper Engineer, forgot to mention :p
    Thanks, ill try.
Michael

Will we be able to buy Contract Hunter’s Armor on Cartel Market?
- Dulfy
  
  Doubt it
  - Pedro Schwartz
    
    One can hope right? I mean, its about time they add mando-style Adaptable armor,they should add more to theCartel
zeta_scorpii

Gonna dual wield the Carbine with my merc, can’t wait!

Just got the explorer its really cool
Deadshot9959

So getting the bowcaster for my agent

Interesting update, definitely a step in the right direction.

Pricey, hope those bounties pay big time.

That HK mod is awesome. Farming the hell out of this.
Dalilah Stone

can someone please tell me how to gain a friend standing with the BH broker assoc? I don’t even know how to start gaining points.
- Dulfy
  
  You can cuz the Bounty Contract Week is over for this month. Wait for its return next month. http://dulfy.net/2013/07/28/swtor-bounty-contact-week-event-overview/

I really want to buy that bounty trackers hat but it takes forever to get to friend status.

Akheria

Hi dulfy,
The 2.7.1 patch changed the rewards system. Now all rewards are obtainable only through completed bounty contracts. Assuming each contract is worth 20K (Harbinger’s minimum price), there are increases in expensive items and decreases in cheaper items now. Please update you guide to reflect this. Thanks for the hard work.
- venomlash
  
  What Akheria said. Armor pieces tend to be 1-3 contracts, weapons and pets are more like 20 contracts.
  - Gremlin
    
    Well on The Shadowlands contracts run from 40k to 100k on any given night. The price will greatly vary by server.
    The Friend armor is 3 contracts for the head/chest/legs. 2 Contracts for hands, feet.
    The Hero armor is 4 per chest/legs, and 2 for the other armoring’s off the top of my head.
    Most weapons are 12 contracts each or so.
Michael Thomas Bradley

I can’t seem to beat any of the bounties solo. What’s the key to nailing these bastards?
- Mitchel Jarvis
  
  It all depends on what class you are. If you’re a healer, I’d recommend using a tank comp, and keep healing him. For a dps, I’d use a tank comp, and I, as a tank, have very little trouble soloing them. Another idea would just be to ask people on the fleet. After a few times, someone will eventually help. Sorry if this isn’t as helpful as you would’ve liked
Deus Ex Machina

The BH-7X Custom Hunter has a secret requirement. My level 10 Gunslinger cannot use it. He’s got legacy piloting and the rep needed to make the purchase yet when I right click the item in my inventory I “lack the skill to use that item.”
Necromus

This article needs to be updated since SWTOR changed the costs to Completed Contracts ONLY.
- jagermensch
  
  Please update it, Dulfy. It is nice BoL gear, and people may be disappointed when they learn it isn’t available for credits.
Ano

Quick question, am I able to get the BHBA gear if I don’t have the rep for it, yet?
Vincera

The new mount, Desert Sleen, missing from this guide can be found in the patch 2.6.1 info:

http://dulfy.net/2014/02/24/swtor-patch-2-6-1-patch-notes/

Th patch notes also indicate the Sleen (and thus other BBA items) is purchased solely with completed bounty contracts.

Roman

So when are you able to buy with credits and not Contracts?
- Darth Ji’inx
  
  The event originally sold items for credits, but now everything costs Contracts.
Merc32

I don’t think any of these are available for just credits. The HK customization for example costs 50 completed contracts, not credits. Maybe this was at the start of the event, but it hasn’t been available for credits in at least the last 6 months.
- Darth Ji’inx
  
  Correct.
The Man in Black

The fact that you can’t seem to get them with credits is going to make gearing my Bounty Hunter very difficult.
