Test 1.3 Patch Notes = 6 – 10 Items

Items

General

Mini-pets have been added to the PvP items vendor.

Baradium Flux can now be traded between players.

The Collector's Edition Holocamera has been repositioned to properly fit the player's hand.

Some gear (Custom social gear, in most cases) has been flagged as "Adaptive." This gear determines its armor type based on the best armor the player or companion wearing it can equip.

Tooltips for adaptive gear have been reworked to make it easier to compare armor values (given that it may have different armor values for you and your companion).

Many descriptions for Unassembled gear pieces have been updated to describe where players should go to redeem them.

PvP lockboxes are no longer unique and now have a required purchase level.

Rakata Enforcer's Gear no longer incorrectly indicates that there are 6 items in its set.

Three War Hero items (Field Tech's Belt, Field Tech's Bracers, Eliminator's Generator) now require an appropriate Battlemaster item as part of their purchase cost.

Premium PvP lockboxes have been reduced in price from 120 Warzone Commendations to 80 Warzone Commendations.

Voice processing for some head slot items has been corrected. It has been added to some items that lacked processing and removed from some items that should not have had it.

Additional spawn locations for the Orokeet Mini-pet egg have been added to Alderaan. Eggs can now also be found on Balmorra (Imperial) and Taris (Republic).

Three green color crystal schematics have been added to the Daily Commendation vendor.

War Hero Mender's MK-1 System has been added to the Smuggler and Imperial Agent War Hero PvP vendors.

The names of five schematics that grant the Exotech Weaponmaster's armor have been corrected. They were erroneously named "Exotech Battlemaster's."

Rakata Freeze Bombs can now be sold on the Galactic Trade Network.

The M3-O1 Matrix cube now grants 28 Strength and 14 Endurance (instead of 19 Strength and 24 Endurance).

The Party Instigator and Galactic Party Bomb now function correctly and are available on the appropriate Social vendors.

The passive stats on all top-level Matrix Cubes have been increased.

The "on use" abilities on relics have been altered. The magnitude of their stat buffs has been decreased, but the duration of the buff has been increased. This reduces burst damage, but sustained damage is unchanged.

The Rhythm Augmentation Droid now lasts for 5 minutes (up from 30 seconds).

Some headpieces that previously displayed severe graphical issues with Miralukan facemasks have been made invisible on Miralukan characters.

Modifications with four stats will now display properly when viewed from the Item Modification Table.

Relics can no longer provide extra damage or healing to a dead target.

Corrected an issue with relics that could allow for them to damage friendly and heal hostile enemies.

Augmentation Slots

Item Modification Tables in the game world now provide players with the ability to add augmentation slots to armor (head, chest, wrists, legs, feet, waist), earpieces, implants, relics, main and off hand items (knives, shotguns, generators, shields, foci), and droid armor (sensors, cores, motors, and parts).

To install or upgrade an augmentation slot, the following requirements must be met:

The target item must be Premium (green) in quality or better.

The player must have enough credits to cover the installation fee, which varies based on item level, quality, and equipment type.

The player must have an augmentation kit of the appropriate rank which will be consumed in the process.

Installing an augmentation slot binds the target item to the player.

Augmentation slots are tiered in rank, and can only accept augments up to their rank.

Augmentation slots can be upgraded to a higher tier through the Item Modification Table.

Mod extraction costs have been reduced by 30%.

Itemization

A wider variety of item modifications are now available as loot drops. For grouped players, these modification drops are almost always tailored to party composition.

Loot drops on Origin Worlds, especially rare items, are now more appropriate for the classes that obtain them.

Players now see specialized class and role item drops throughout the game that are more appropriate for the player or group.

Medpacs dropped throughout the course of playing on a planet are now more appropriate to that planet's level range.

Some heavy armor drops have been removed from Tython and Korriban to make loot more appropriate.

Many Prototype quality Barrels and Hilts have been added to random loot as rare drops.

Several level 56 items that had level 48 color crystals instead of level 56 have been corrected.

Vendors

A Republic Crew Skills vendor in the Dune Sea no longer appears on Imperial characters' maps.

Legacy

Character Perks are now available! These are bonuses that a player can purchase with credits upon reaching a minimum Legacy level that apply only to the character that purchased them. The Perks available in Game Update 1.3 include:

Increased experience from Flashpoints, Warzones, Space Missions, Class Missions, and Exploration

Priority Transport Passes that allow for fast transit back to your capital world, the Outlaw's Den on Tatooine, the Black Hole on Corellia, and the Gav Daragon (Republic) or the Ziost Shadow (Imperial). And more!

The PvP Training Dummy unlocked via Legacy is now named "Warzone Training Dummy" to avoid confusion.

The Legacy abilities Heroic Orbital Strike, Lightning Storm, Dirty Kick, Sticky Grenade, Force Sweep, Project, and Force Choke now deal increased damage.
