Here is a new tool that launched today. A website to track the Cartel Market – swtorcartel.com It keeps track of the history of items in the Cartel Market (including price and availability). An example of this can be seen here www.swtorcartel.com/cartelitems/66 Whenever the cartel market changes there will be an automated post to reddit. This will break down new items, items no longer available, items that are available again, and price change (showing the old and new price). At the bottom of every list (including the home page) there is a graph which beaks down all the prices in that list. Features that I am currently working on and should be coming soon: Tracking Collections prices Including images with the cartel market item Breaking down the items included Links to posts about what is included in packs UI that is closer to what is seen in game Twitter Alerts…

During a recent livestream Bioware’s Community manager Eric Musco, mentioned that in-game Cartel Market store will be receiving some discounted deals due to Black Friday. While originally there were rumors that these deals will change from hour to hour, it doesn’t seem to be the case with the offers listed below.

SWOTR 14,500 Cartel Coins + Exclusive Item
Star Wars The Old Republic 14,500 Cartel Coins + Exclusive Item [Online Game Code] If you are looking to get some cartel coins, it’s always better to buy in bulk. Now EA has put out a deal that you don’t want to miss. It was just released at the end of September and we don’t know if it will be permanent or something they only offer for a short time but it does come with a cool, unique, exclusive in-game item. 2400 coins is $19.99 5500 is $39.99 So this special deal for 14,500 coins is $99.99. $100 is a lot to spend in a game but think of all you can get or do with those Cartel Coins + the special item! Unfortunately, it’s US only (unless you have a work-around) and it’s a digital code only and there is no gifting option. Online Code: Currently, this item is…
Check Out Cool Items from Gatekeeper’s Pack – Videos
Are you curious about what’s in Gatekeeper’s Stronghold Packs? You would not be alone, as many SWTOR fans want to know what cool stuff they can get from these packs. Here is a compilation of videos from Dulfy herself showing us some of the cool stuff you can get if you are willing to dig through the cards (the drop rates, as usual, are not super great).

TOR TV: Opening 24x Gatekeeper’s Stronghold Packs
The first in a series of Galactic Stronghold cartel packs have arrived… with more items AND they’re even cheaper than they used to be. With decorations now included in these packs, can Charlie find something worth keeping? We love these videos and articles where people open their packs for us and show us what they get. It’s a lot of fun getting caught up in the opening, hoping they will find something rare or at very least, some cool and useful stuff so the purchase is not unfounded. In addition to being fun to watch (although he’s slow), there is also a chance to win some packs for yourself so check it out and find out how. The verdict from this and prior experiences? Don’t open packs if you are looking for something specific unless you are planning to open 50+ of them. So we have the opening of 24…
TOR TV: Opening 24x Club Vertica Nightlife Packs
SWTOR Club Vertica Nightlife Packs released live on July 1st. If you have not had the chance to open any yet, then you might want to get to it. And even if you have, you will probably find this video interesting. It’s the opening of 24 Club Vertica Nightlife Packs. You could get color customizations, weapons, mounts, armor sets and emotes/regen items as follows. Emote: Tihaar Dance Emote: Faint Emote: Out of Breath Regen: Cube Roll Title: Club Vertica High Roller Some items are much more rare than others so if you’re going for one particular thing, you might have to go through a lot of packs to get what you want. If you like testing the odds, or if you’re open to whatever may come out of them, then go ahead and get some packs for yourself. Let’s take a look at this fun vid to see how luck treats him…
Cartel Pack Sales from May 30 to June 1 (28% OFF)
Cartel Market will be having a sale from May 30 to June 1. When? Friday, May 30th at 8AM Central – Sunday, June 1st at 8AM Central What? The following Hypercrates: Hypercrate: Crime Lord’s Cartel Pack Hypercrate: Galactic Ace’s Starfighter Pack Hypercrate: Opportunist’s Bounty Pack Hypercrate: Hotshot’s Starfighter Pack Hypercrate: Blockade Runner’s Cartel Pack Hypercrate: Vice Commandant’s Contraband Pack Hypercrate: Space Jockey’s Starfighter Pack Hypercrate: Enforcer’s Contraband Pack Hypercrate: Dogfighter’s Starfighter Pack How Much? Each of these Hypercrates will be 28% off. I know what you’re thinking, 28%?! That’s a strange number. The reason that they are 28% is that at that discount they end up being exactly 5500 Cartel Coins, meaning they can be bought in a single purchase. You may also notice that some of these are embargoed packs so make sure to log in and get them while they’re around.

PSA: Shipment 1 Cartel Packs Hypercrate leaving the Cartel Market today
Cory Butler posted a tweet confirming that the Hypercrate of Shipment 1 Cartel Packs will be removed from the Cartel Market today. The Hypercrate contains 6 Crime Lord’s, 6 Blockade Runner’s, 6 Skip Tracer’s, and 6 Space Pirate’s packs and has the hefty price of 7680 Cartel Coins. Below is the tweet from Cory: Shipment 1 Hypercrate going away tomorrow. @SWTOR #CartelMarket — Cory Butler (@BlazeofCory) February 10, 2014 Later he confirmed it will be back some other time: @Jakkeez @SWTOR it’ll be back… one day. No time soon though. — Cory Butler (@BlazeofCory) February 11, 2014 For older players this should mean the respective crates will become more valuable on the market for a while.

SWTOR’s Cartel Market Rakes in $139 Million Dollars in 2013
Here we are in 2014 and Super Data Research has the 2013 stats for US digital games. The numbers are in and you might be a little surprised at some of the results. For example, there are many out there who call SWTOR a failure or say the game flopped. And one reason for this is that many people mistakenly associate a game going from sub to F2P as a sign that it is failing. But that’s not always the case. It really just means that a different pay model was needed and now that they have it, BioWare seems to be doing very well with SWTOR financially.
TOR TV: Opening 24x Dogfighter’s Starfighter Packs
KranitokoGames made an interesting experiment. Basically he purchased a hypercrate of the new Starfighter Packs released in Patch 2.5.2. and filmed what goodies he found inside? When I clicked the video, I figured there was no way I would watch the whole 20 mins. I skipped him running around Tatooine, but thoroughly enjoyed watching him get giddy over the pack items. Seeing previews like we posted earlier today is nice, but it’s always nice to see exactly how many cool things (and lame things) you would get in a single hypercrate. Check it out below:
Videos with Dogfighter’s Starfighter Pack goods

Life Day Gear to be Embargoed After Current Run
BioWare have been under fire for a while, for their decision on letting embargoed items reaper on the Cartel market. Eric Musco answered an angry player on the official forums yesterday concerning this issue: EricMusco Life Day gear recycled from last year?! LAZY | 12.11.2013, 02:01 PM Quote: Originally Posted by Rileysoph A few weeks ago life day stuff from last year were selling on the GTN for millions because they were SUPER RARE and UNOBTAINABLE and the people who had them could show everyone that they were there, that they were in the game since that time, that they participated in the event. And now you’ve brought back the exact same stuff from last year? Complete and utter laziness. There is no excuse. Bioware had a full year to come up with something new for it. I’m sorry but this game has just turned into a cash grab. I wouldn’t…
Festive Tauntaun on PTS collections. Not sure if I like this or not.
While I don’t like this item as a “Canon” mount in the Star Wars universe, and I understand roleplayers who would trash this mount. It is for fun, after all this is also a game and games are supposed to be fun. Lately I have put the daily grind on the shelf and started playing the game for fun. Meaning that I can sit for hours dressing my characters in expensive gear, while pointless for stats and all, I am havingagoodtime! The fact that this type of item is released gives the impression that BioWare, while serious about the game and lore, wants to convey the fun aspect of the game as a game. Last christmas I cringed when I saw the Czerks life day mount, until I met a guy called Santa who had dressed his character accordingly. I mean after all it is Star Wars. All the movies…
Two seater mounts confirmed?
This image was in the mail today. Two-seater mounts were in the game during the beta (like the Taxi’s on certain planets). The korrealis series is an example of this (they just put a piece of metal over where the other seat was. Your companion would sit with you, but when they added guys like M1-4X they scrapped the whole idea as they didn’t fit. This is Likely not for your companion though, but having your character sit in the side pod and be “driven around” by the droid.
New Starship Pet from Amazon Cartel Coin Cards

It’s confirmed with Amazon card purchases to US customers and some players are reporting the same thing from Best Buy cards but I have not tested this yet. 11/12/2013 UPDATE: The SWTOR Cartel Coins bundle now features an Imperial Scout “S-12 Blackbolt Starship mini-ship.

Dewbacks in Collections next week
It looks like players finally will be able to get their hands on the Dewback mount. From the next patch comming this Tuesday, these mounts will be obtainable via packs on the cartel market. Eric Musco posted two teasers on the forum last week: Slow and steady wins the race! I heard a rumor that a Dewback mount is in the next pack, which is coming next week. That could just be a rumor though. Rumor has it that it will be in Collections on Tuesday with 2.4.3. These animal mounts are really the only thing these days, that people seem to really go crazy for. Give it time, they’ll throw in more. There is still one Varactyl and three (I think) Tauntaun mounts to be released. They’ll stretch out those Dewbacks for a very long time to sell packs. It’s going to look strange though, if they make the Dewbacks outrun speeder…
Ingame cartel coin purchase coming Nov 5
It looks like it will be possible to buy cartel coin ingame, starting Tuesday November 5. At least that’s what Amber Green writes in her forum post yesterday: On November 5th, all game servers will be unavailable while we perform maintenance. The In-Game Cartel Coin Purchase feature will be implemented during this downtime, and there will not be a new patch to download. Details are as follows: Date: Tuesday November 5th, 2013 Duration: 2 hours Time: 3AM PST (10AM GMT) – 5AM PST (12PM GMT) Thank you for your patience as we maintain service for Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. Amber also confirms via Twitter, that subscribers wil get 50% off their first ingame CC purchase as BioWare promised. Personally I am going to buy 5500 coins and save them for when I need them. I’m hoping they add a higher quantity to maximize the 50% savings. Also remember that…
