SWTOR October Events Preview: Rakghoul Resurgence, Feast of Prosperity, and Relics of the Gree

Soeren Kamper event, SWTOR

Get ready to dive into Star Wars: The Old Republic’s action-packed October lineup, packed with infectious outbreaks, Hutt banquets, and ancient relics. Whether you’re a seasoned SWTOR player or new to the game, these events promise unique challenges, exclusive rewards, and hours of galactic fun. Here’s a breakdown of the upcoming events and everything you need to know to make the most of them.

Rakghoul Resurgence on Corellia (Oct 1 – Oct 7)

Level Requirement: 25+

First up, the Rakghoul Resurgence event kicks off on October 1st, and this time, the plague has broken out on Corellia. The Hyland Organization for Rakghoul Neutralization (T.H.O.R.N.) is calling on all willing (and brave) volunteers to combat the spread of the Rakghoul plague.

This event is not just about preventing a galactic pandemic—it’s a chance to earn exclusive event rewards, reputation with T.H.O.R.N., and take part in some truly intense missions. Players will travel to Corellia to help contain the outbreak, with a variety of quests and challenges available. But beware—catching the plague is a real threat, and even though it can be treated in its early stages, it’s a constant risk while you’re dealing with infected zones.

  • Merciless Seeker’s Armor Set
  • THORN Epicenter and Dark Vector Armor Sets
  • Infected Varactyl and Dewback Mounts
  • Ferocious Rakghoul Mini-pets
  • Alliance Contact: Doctor Lokin

Whether you’re after the rare armor sets, cool mounts, or just looking to gain favor with T.H.O.R.N., this event has something for every intrepid plague-fighter.

Feast of Prosperity

Feast of Prosperity (Oct 8 – Nov 5)

Level Requirement: 20+

Hungry for more? After dealing with Rakghouls, why not relax (if you can call it that) with the Feast of Prosperity event, running from October 8th to November 5th. This grand feast, hosted by Gaboorga the Abundant and Duuba the Magnanimous of the Hutt Cartel, promises to be the most extravagant banquet the galaxy has ever seen. Of course, this being the Hutts, there’s more to the feast than meets the eye. While they present their event as a charitable endeavor for the galaxy’s underprivileged, both Hutts have personal ambitions—and they aren’t exactly aligned.

Each week of the Feast of Prosperity unlocks new story missions, culminating in a dramatic decision where players must side with either Gaboorga or Duuba. Will you support the Hutt with the most “abundant” heart, or the one who seeks to reclaim the Cartel’s former glory through more… practical means?

Players returning from previous years will have immediate access to daily missions and mini-games, while newcomers will unlock weekly story missions that deepen the intrigue between these two ambitious Hutts.

  • Feast Thermalguard Outfit
  • Regal Banquet Table, Chair, and Rug Decorations
  • Gourmand’s Favorite Weapon Set
  • Duuba and Gaboorga Transport Skiffs
  • Feast Attire and Feast Preparation Hat
  • Hairless Mudhorn and Earthen Thurrb Mini-pets

The Feast of Prosperity is a light-hearted, enjoyable event that offers a delightful contrast to the seriousness of the Rakghoul outbreak. Plus, where else can you get your hands on a Regal Grill Barstool decoration?

Explore Ilum’s contested area in the Western Ice Shelf to uncover the mysterious purpose of the Gray Secant, an enormous ancient Gree starship. Get ready to face a powerful opponent that awaits you at the center of this ancient vessel. Visit the in-game News Terminal located on Carrick Station in the Republic fleet or Vaiken Spacedock in the Imperial fleet to get started on your adventure!

Relics of the Gree (Oct 15 – Oct 21)

Level Requirement: 50+

For those craving adventure and mystery, the Relics of the Gree event will be your cup of blue milk. From October 15th to 21st, players will travel to Ilum’s Western Ice Shelf to explore the ancient and enigmatic Gray Secant, a massive Gree starship that holds untold secrets. The Gree Enclave has opened access to this event, and they’re seeking intrepid players to help them uncover the purpose of this ancient vessel.

This event challenges players to explore the frozen landscape, battle powerful enemies, and tackle the toughest boss encounters on the Gray Secant. Players can earn reputation with the Gree and unlock some of the most unique rewards in the game, including the rare Scalene Armor Sets and the iconic Cyan Sphere mount.

  • White, Red, and Blue Scalene Armor Sets
  • Gray Helix Weapons
  • Miniature Gray Secant Mini-pets
  • Cyan, Blue, and Red Sphere Vehicles

If you’ve never experienced the Relics of the Gree event before, now’s your chance to take part in this ancient mystery. It’s an event that promises both incredible rewards and a deeper look into the fascinating lore of the Gree.
