Pristine Adegan Crystal - Where to get them.

There are nodes that can be found on the cliffs lining the rivers of Alderan. From the node you will receive a Rouch Magenta Crystal Shard that must be taken to Korriban to refine into Pristine Adegan Crystals. The alderan nodes are on no less than a 2 hour spanwn timer and I have only seen oneone spawn in this two hour time period. Archaeology is not needed to farm these and there will be no indication of it's location on your minimap

The Plague comes to SWTOR

A wonderful and somewhat stomach churning world event is happening in SWTOR.  The plague has arrived and with it are a lot of new goodies and quests.  Here is a list of quests and information my guild has come up with to help you with your fun.

First, there is a news droid on the fleet, right near where you spawn when you use your fleet pass. Click on it to watch the current news report. There's a travel advisory on Tatooine due to an outbreak of the rakghoul virus. About every ten minutes, a Republic announcer will voiceover on the fleet, issuing warnings regarding the plague and telling how far it's spread. By the time I logged out, they were saying it had spread to all republic, empire and non-aligned worlds.

Quest  1 = Tracking the Origin
Leaving the spaceport in Tatooine
Watch the Television Monitors
Go straight out the spaceport to the dirt road
Turn left and follow the road until the first dirt road on the left.
Go left and click on the piece of ship in the side of the building.
You will get a buff afterwards.
Go behind the Cantina to find the medical supplies.
  It will be a clickable box surrounded by soldiers.
You get a new buff
Go to the taxi area (off to the side of is a covered table with the quest)
For this quest you will need to find 12 pieces of the Stardream wreckage scattered throughout Tatoonie, three of them are in the Dune Sea area.
loc's for quest 1
-2413, -756 in the Dune Sea
- 1390, -446 in the Dune Sea
-2029, -1898 in the Dune Sea
1192, -1260 in Jundland
1083, -385 in Jundland (on the side of the cliff, you have to jump down to it from above)
761, -899 Jundland (Hidden on the side of another cliff)
1088, 733 Outpost Varath Area
1800, 590 Outpost Varath Area
745, -2542 Jundland atop the bunker
- 501, -321 Northwest of Mos Anek
280, 244 East of Mos Anek
- 595, - 1443 Near the Outlaw's Den exit leading to the Dune Sea

Quest 2 = Rakghoul DNA Samples or Plaguebringer
This is an automatic daily to infect 10 people.
You will not receive this quest until you get infected and die.  Make sure you die near other people, and you have a chance to infect them.  The quest starts.  Get infected again and then rinse and repeat until you kill 10 people.  This is a daily.

Quest 3 = Wreck of a Stardream
In Tatooine. Take the speeder to Outpost Thorazan.
Leave the outpost and head directly north. You'll see smoke ahead over a hill.
As you get close to the wreckage, an area quest will pop up.
As you complete it, one of the items that drops will trigger another daily.
The second daily will send you to Outpost Lagona. You'll use the research terminal there and get a light or dark option. As you head to the area for this quest, which deals with infected sand people, you'll get another area quest.

Quest 4 = Blood Sample

Quest will also appear in log as soon as you start killing mobs in the area and loot a Blood Sample.

Quest 5 = Passenger List [Day 2 daily]

The quest is only available on the second day that you complete these dailies and is also picked up at the wreckage.

Quest 6 = Outbreak

Part two of Blood Sample will lead you to the next area where you automatically pick up “Outbreak”.

TOKEN VENDER = Jawa vendor on Tatooine, north of Thorazan outpost in the Dune Sea. LOC -893, -1919
He will accept the DNA samples in trade. He offers color crystals, a Rakghoul pet and a diseased companion customization.
There is a new level 50 infected world boss. I believe he's in the Outlaw's Den (pvp area.)

Note 1: known bug of if you get infected on fleet and leave, then go back to fleet, the disease may not progress. Just leave the fleet again and go infect people somewhere else.

Note 2: If you get infected, and try to enter the hangar (either to enter or leave your ship), you'll get attacked by republic containment troopers. There are loads of new NPCs around too, especially on Tatooine, and some new medical droids on the fleet who sell the rakghoul vaccine.

NOTE 3: IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EVENT, BUY THE RAKGHOUL VIRUS VACCINE FROM ANY MEDICAL DROID. It will prevent infection for up to 6 hours. Please don't whine because someone else infected you. Live events are awesome, because it means that Bioware is taking an active interest in the game!

New to the Blog

Due to a wicked case of Strep Throat, I have been unable to update the blog for a while.  However its not dead, and we are all eagerly awaiting the 1.2 patch that goes live tonight.  To make up for it I added a few new links to the Quest section.  This includes a TOR Wiki and a IGN Wiki. I also added a space mission link, since I dont think one should be narrowed down to 1 link for information.

Enjoy
