Today’s Star Wars: The Old Republic update brings new style options to the Cartel Market—with eye-catching dyes and a brand-new minipet. If you’ve been waiting to freshen up your character’s look or show off a tiny companion, this update has you covered.
What’s New
1. Fresh Dye Modules
Several new metallic, chrome, and “vulcanized” dye modules are now available to tailor your favorite outfits. The current lineup includes:
- Metallic Red & Metallic Gold
- Vulcanized Black & Black
- Chrome Silver & Satin Silver
- Metallic Purple & Black
- …and the color reversals of those combos
These dyes are shown applied to the Prototype Test Pilot armor set in the announcement screenshots, giving a preview of how they’ll look in-game.
Also available is the Galactic Heroes Dye Bundle, which packages a selection of these new color combinations for easier acquisition.
2. New Minipet: Black Loth-cat Kitten
Joining the Cartel Market today is a Black Loth-cat Kitten—a sleek, dark version of the classic Loth-cat that’s ideal for players seeking a refined, mysterious companion.
Minipets are a fun cosmetic addition to your legacy or companions, offering a touch of flair without gameplay advantages.
Why This Matters
- Cosmetic freedom & personalization — SWTOR continues to expand options for players who love customizing their look and outfitting their characters with unique flair.
- Accessibility — New dyes and bundles often lower the barrier for style upgrades that were previously more exclusive.
- Collectible appeal — Minipets are beloved by many for their aesthetics and charm rather than utility, but new options like the Black Loth-cat Kitten keep the collection hobby fresh.
If you’ve been holding off on refreshing your style, now might be a great time to browse the Cartel Market and pick up a few of these new items before they rotate out or become less visible.
Final Thoughts
This October 3 update doesn’t shift the meta or unlock new gameplay features—but what it does do is nurture one of SWTOR’s most beloved pillars: character expression. Cosmetic updates like these help keep the game feeling alive, letting players showcase their personalities across the galaxy.
If you’re styling your character today, these new dyes and that sleek Black Loth-cat Kitten minipet might be the perfect finishing touches.
