This post is for all the little stuff that they are adding with 1.3 they are too small to have their own posts

New Mount – Kurtob Alliance – NEW High res screenshots!
Better target indicator
Better AoE indicator
Adaptive Armor
Nerf of on-use relic burst
New PvP pets (with pictures)!
New Warzone Adrenal
New weekly to kill world bosses
New green crystal schematics from daily comm vendors

General

New Mount – Kurtob Alliance

Only available on the PTS atm, players have reported that they got it by referring a friend and have them sub for a month (confirmed)

The mount is a Rank I speeder with 110% speed – YES level 10 characters can have access to this 110% speed mount if they purchase the legacy perk.
All characters on your account receive it

Better target indicator

Previously to know who you targeted, you get a tiny arrow at the top that was hard to see. Now you have a bigger arrow that is colored differently based on if you target a foe or friend.

Better AoE indicator

All friendly AoEs reticles are colored green and all harmful AoEs (from mobs/enemies) are now colored red. In the heat of battle, when multiple people are dropping AoEs, it was hard to distinguish mob’s AoE from your party members. This should no longer be an issue.

Adaptive Armor

All social gear have the label Adaptive Armor on it – it will essentially match your armor type (i.e. heavy/medium/light)
No male slave outfits (sorry guys)

On-use relics “burst” nerfed but duration increased

All the on-use relics had their effects nerfed by around 33-35% but duration extended from 20s to 30s.

Relics with proc effects and Rakata adrenals were not affected

PvP

New Pets on the PvP Vendor

Lawgriffarl and Lobelisk – selling for 1000 Ranked and 2000 Unranked Warzone Commendations each! Both requires valor rank 70.
Purchased from the PvP items vendor (i.e. the guy next to the PvP dailies/weeklies terminal)
Here is a picture of Lobelisk (tiny!)

New Biochem schematic to craft Warzone Adrenal (note that Warzone Expertise adrenal can no longer be purchased, the Warzone Medpac still exists)

The new schematic can be obtained from the PvP item (vendor), the same one you buy it the PvP pets from for 75 Warzone Commendations.

Please note that the other Biochem adrenals no longer work in Warzones as of patch 1.3.
It requires the following mats per adrenal

Dioxatrene-11 is a special mat obtained from Grade 6 PvP Crafting boxes, which cost 1000 Warzones to purchase and yield anywhere from 20-30 of these mats per box. Seems to be guaranteed drop every box but the amount varies.

Here is the issue though, right now each Warzone Adrenal only cost 10 Warzone Commendation to purchase and you can get 100 Warzone Adrenals with 1000 Warzone Commendations rather than 20-30 if you have a biochem craft it for you…

For those asking, the crafted Warzone Adrenal is identical to the one you buy for 10 comms (even stacks with it) and cannot be RE’ed to get a schematic.

PvE

New Weekly to kill world bosses

Priority Targets IV – Kill Primal Destroyer on Belsavis, Gargath on Hoth and Nightmare Pilgrim on Voss once (level 50s)
Priority Targets III – Kill Cartel warbot on Quesh and Snowblind on Hoth (obtained as a level 45)
Priority Targets I – Kill SD-0 on Coruscant and Subject Alpha on Taris (Republic). (Can be picked up by level 16 and 23 characters)
Rewards: Not known at this point, probably Black Hole Commendations for priority targets IV.
Pick up from the same terminal on the Supplies section of the fleet where you pick up other weeklies/dailies for PvE.

New Green crystal schematics at the Daily Commendation vendors

If you had read my endgame color crystals guide from a while back, you might have disappointed to know that there wasn’t any PvE green crystal schematics available.
Luckily, with 1.3, they added 3 new PvE schematics to the daily commendation vendor, all for 20 daily comms each!

Confused on the relic “on use” buffs – I see you post pictures of them being nerfed but this note from the patch notes says the following: ”
The “on use” abilities on relics can no longer be used inside Warzones. PvP relics (such as the Recruit, Battlemaster, and War hero relics) now have passive boosts to the same stats that the “on use” ability affected.”
- dulfy
  
  The passive buffs have likely not being added yet, I know the matrix cube was not updated in its passive stats even though it was specifically mentioned on the pts notes:
  
  The passive stats on all top-level Matrix Cubes have been increased.
  - Buttercup
    
    Dulfy, you said you could no longer buy the Expertise adrenal from the PvP vendor on the PTS server. This leads me to the following questions:
    
    1. Do you know if they will remove the (War Zone) Expertise Adrenal from the PvP vendor, so that it can only be crafted by biochem in the future?
    2. Do the (War Zone) Expertise adrenals you have in your inventory still work? If yes, see 3.
    3. Should we stack up on Expertise Adrenals?
    
    Mad props on the info again!
    - dulfy
      
      All the Warzone Expertise adrenals I had on me got automatically converted to the Warzone Adrenals so there is no way around it heh.
      - Buttercup
        
        So does that mean we should stack up on Warzone Expertise Adrenals now, before 1.3, because they’re essentially cheaper now?
        
        dulfy
        
        It is the same price on PTS and live, 10 warzone comms for warzone adrenal and warzone expertise adrenal respectively. No need to stock up

Can the Warzone Adrenal crafted by Biochem be reverse engineered into a reusable one?
- Guest
  
  I tried, and the answer is no. I crafted one and it does not list the 20% chance to learn on the tooltip.
  - Rob
    
    Thank you for checking.. Seems Bioware really hates Biochem :/
- Avi German
  
  they announced a couple months ago that pre 1.2 would be the last time there’d be any reusable biochem stuff.
  - Rob
    
    That is true and I remember, but since Dulfy noted this line I was wondering what’ the point of Biochem crafted adrenals is when you can buy them much, much cheaper:
    
    “Here is the issue though, right now each Warzone Adrenal only cost 10
    Warzone Commendation to purchase and you can get 100 Warzone Adrenals
    with 1000 Warzone Commendations rather than 20-30 if you have a biochem
    craft it for you… ”
    
    They keep taking, but not giving for Biochem. At least that is how I feel. Cheaper medpacks and Adrenals for raid is at least something..

      I’m fine with them taking. I wish they would give Armstech something – anything – to make it better. It’s so useless right now and always has been.
- Ancaglon
  
  Sorry, I didn’t want to waste 1k warzone commendations (after having spent 75 to get the schematic) just to see if it can be RE’d. I doubt it, though.
- Ancaglon
  
  I wasn’t about to grind 1k WZ commendations to try and test this if anyone on PTS has some Dioxetrene-11 to spare, I’m willing to create one to see if it has any Research available.

Any idea what changes were made to the materials for crafting Prototype Hyper-battle Stims?

“No male slave outfits (sorry guys)” major sadness :.(

- Please note that the other Biochem adrenals no longer work in Warzones as of patch 1.3. -

This does worry me a bit, it means we can’t use the rakata surge, alacrty.. etc.. anymore….;O((
great work Dulfy, your work is really usefull, thx a lot
I hope, you stay at swtor, even GW2 is coming out
- dulfy
  
  Oh yes, I am not going anywhere. GW2 will be something I will play on the sides but it lacks raiding.
- MRA
  
  With all the PvP players constantly mocking PvE players that come into warzones without the “proper” gear, it’s justice that you can no longer use Rakata [PvE] stims!!!
  - Fafryd
    
    Presumably stims still work and adrenals do not. Many people don’t use the adrenals in any event.
Questyu

I hope we get to keep the new mount its really cool looking . i hope its not a PTR thing only .
- dulfy
  
  Definitely not a PTR thingie, that would be a waste. You will know more when 1.3 arrives on live server as I reckon they will do a big announcement.
Arizbel

and what happens to my Expertise adrenals that i got in stock? they jjust disappear?
- dulfy
  
  they get converted to the warzone adrenals
  - Arizbel
    
    Thnks honey!
    - Fafryd
      
      If I read you correctly, you say that you can no longer buy the WZ Expertise Adrenals and that they stack. Can you pls confirm both of these things? If so, you should buy the Expertise adrenals now for 10 per rather than go the slower crafting route post 1.3…
      - dulfy
        
        You current warzone expertise adrenals will get converted to warzone adrenals in 1.3. The same PvP vendor still sell warzone adrenal for 10 wz comms, or you can craft it.
Bukcik

Dulfy, just wondering the new warzone adrenals made from the schematic (75 wz comms) oonly offers you 15% dmg reduction in PvP area?, the current wz adrenals offers 15% of dmg boost, reduction and healing done? can you please confirm this?
- dulfy
  
  yup, I checked it before. That is correct. The change to adrenal is to limit damage burst in PvP I think.

‘No male slave outfits (sorry guys)’
fuuuuuuuuu!

Anyone know if you get the mount for Refer a Friend sense the patch went live ? i didn’t get in the mail or is it coming ? .I did get it on the test server .
Rogean

When you say the warzone adrenal bought from the vendor and the one biochems make “stack with eachother”, are you saying that the items can be merged into eachother into the same “stack” of items, or do the effects both work independently so that you could have both active at the same time? I got excited for a minute thinking the latter might be possible and you could get a 30% increase to damage reduction by using both at the same time lol.
- dulfy
  
  same stack of items, sorry should have clarified.
Loup

It seems like the timer for The Unusual Egg has been changed since 1.3 went live. I’ve had two instances where I arrived at the Republic location on Alderaan and waited in line behind one other person. Watched them take their egg, and then waited 4.5 – 5 hours for my turn, only to not have it re-spawn. I haven’t seen anything about this in the patch notes… or anything. Any ideas?
