I tried to enter an instance and
am “locked out!” Why?
To reduce the chances of
repeating instances, upon completion or failure of an instance a player will not be permitted to re- enter until a certain amount of time has passed. This is a new concept in SWG, and can be very frustrating. Most of the time your lockout timer will reflect how far you were when you failed, completed or exited the instance. If you died or ejected near
133
the beginning you should have a relatively short lockout, however if you went all the way through and completed the instance the lockout will be much longer.

To get access to the cave, you will
need to craft an omniglobular syringe. The syringe is made by combining a warmly glowing reactive antidote, a warmly glowing poison gland and a warmly glowing dispersal unit in the Chu-Gon Dar cube. The syringe can be used an unlimited amount of times and is tradeable, which means you can also buy it if you have the credits and find a seller. It will, however, be very expensive.

Where is this Lava Crystal I’ve
been hearing about?
The antidote is looted from HK-47
at the end of the Champion of Mustafar questline. Start it by talking to Foreman Chivos.
The lava crystal is created by
combining a warmly glowing skull, a warmly glowing artifact and a warmly glowing engine component in the Chu-Gon Dar cube. The item is one of the most complicated in the game to create, since its parts come from the Sher Kar cave and the final quest in the HK-47 quest line. Please see section 5.9 for information on which mobs drop these components.
The poison gland is looted from
Malfosa, a level 80 Boss with 225K health. She spawns east of the Burning Plains POI marker, and her respawn is quite long.

They should also agree that they are going to follow the lead of the group leader and reserve chat and orders for only the leader or designated members. This is VERY important, as the last few instances need to have sub groups splitting up and tackling multiple objectives
done with less than a full group, so you should go ahead and try to assemble an 8 person team. Also, I can’t stress enough how much being organized will be. Because of this, try to pre select a team that is serious about getting through the trials together rather than shouting in a starport for a group. While either group may be successful, you have a better shot if you are all briefed.

ship is brutal! Is the item really
worth it?
How efficient will I be trying to
solo a majority of the quests?
On this one, it’s really a matter of
choice and bragging rights. The instances in the quest line all reward you with badges when completing them. As for the 2400, it is not any better than the other POB ships in the game, and even worse it cannot be traded or sold so you will be stuck with it. In addition, to pilot it you must be an Ace, so you will have had to flown extensively in space to use it for yourself.
Luckily many of the quests can be
done solo if you are careful about how you pull your aggro. You should be able to solo all quests that do not require killing a mob that is higher than a level 80 Boss. There are quests and mobs that you absolutely must have a group to have a chance. The only instance that can be soloed is the Lair of the Crystal, and only because it was designed as a solo encounter.
That being said, the quest line,
while difficult, is a fun experience that you would be missing out on if you didn’t at least give it a shot. A few of the scenarios truly seem epic and

Some of those who did not want to wait have reported that the holocron on the Shore of Remorse will not work for them even if they should be able to spawn him from it. If you have been waiting for longer than 3 days you may be experiencing a bug that unfortunately stops Obi Wan from appearing to players no matter the circumstance. Until fixed, the only way to work around this bug is to have another player spawn Obi Wan and then talk to him.
