SWTOR GSI Mission Dailies guide

Categories:

patch 2.0, SWTOR

by dulfy

Comprehensive guide to the SWTOR GSI dailies introduced with the Rise of the Hutt Cartel expansion involving macrobinoculars and seeker droids.

Once you have started the Seeker Droid and Macrobinocular quests, you can immediately start the GSI dailies available from terminals (usually just outside the spaceport) in Alderaan, Hoth, Makeb, and Tatooine.

    Wow four new daily areas, that’s amazing :O

  • Anabak

    Can you pls make list of dailies in game? The old one and the new????

    • http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

      Ya I can do that shortly before launch

      • Anabak

        Oh Nice! I hope i get a better overview of all daily quests, because i whink there will be so many to do and i wont know which is the best or which is more profitable. Thank you!

        • http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

          2.0 is going to be dallies overload literally. There are going to be so many dallies in the game it isn’t even funny hah

          • Anabak

            When can i reckon with this overview? :D

  • defector k

    those new dailies they will give same daily comms as others that we do today or other specific daily comms?

    • http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

      Basic commendations. Daily commendations is no more in patch 2.0

  • Wardy

    What about the old daily missions? Are they gonna gone or scaled to level 55?

    • http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

      Section X scaled to 55 I think, rest are all 50

  • Pak

    This is awesome – thanks Dulfy!!!

    BTW – looks like you have Hoth listed twice (missing Tatooine) in the spreadsheet.

    • http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

      Thanks for the catch. I just forgot to rename Hoth to Tatooine. Will be fixed shortly.

  • Aldalok

    Hey Dulfy thanks for the info. One question though, I went to the GSI rep vendor earlier and i noticed the survey probes have been removed, do you know if this was intentional?

    • http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

      I took the pics of the GSI vendor before they did the revamp to the whole system in beta so the screenshot/listing was outdated. Survey probes were part of the old system of using seeker droids and has no use anymore.

  • John

    Origins of the Makrin: it is possible to get into that area from the north (good for imperials, won’t bring you past republic outpost). Where you have the first red arrow, you just go south at the forking path through the marshy area instead.

    • Brando

      There’s also a path on the west side of the ridge, as a pub toon managed to leave thru there- the south path after the pub outpost has a small group of imperial champs.

    • Rurruk

      For pubs there is a way in to the east side near the medical droid, the path has some tall grass has some Vrake mobs near the opening

  • Hroller

    Location #3 on Scanning the Depths is not there, I’m staring at the spot… and every other in this frigging chasm for 3 hours now and I can’t find this damn rock…

    • http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

      Location #3 is very buggy and can be pretty much anywhere in that whole area, sometimes even away on the other side. They do change their locations every 24 hrs though it seems

  • Liron Ben-David

    tatooine missions are bugged if u can’t find the target switch instance. worked for me.

  • Chrix

    Dulfy: Do you know how to obtain the items needed to purchase the Mount?

    • http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

      Components are dug up in rare excavation sites on various planets. I will have a guide up soon for that :D

  • Sally Bowls

    For those of us too reliant on google, I just wanted to say

    Dense Volcanic Metal
    Coarse Volcanic Metal
    Malleable Volcanic Metal
    Burnished Volcanic Metal

    Since I came here, did a control-F and did not find my item.

    As always, you are amazing! TYVM!

  • Creedess

    It seems that after doing Trace Secrets one time, i had the daily available to me again so i said…okay. For some reason it became more difficult and the champ couldnt be soloed. Im wondering if this is intended so you cant farm it too quickly?

    • Creedess

      Im sorry, i meant Trade Secrets.

    • Creedess

      Okay, upon further investigation…..it seems the location of the spy depends on how he or she fights. There are different attacks that must be interrupted….something i wasnt doing the 2nd time. The spy thats right at the rhu starport is the easiest. There was another thats lower in the map that was beating the crap out of me…..so the spys are different depending on their location.

  • Anonymous well-wisher

    [Daily] Origins of the Makrin – Frinn Mesa

    There are entrances to the location at 1332;2143, 1042;2307, 1218;2110 and im not sure thats all.

  • Sayaendo

    I did Trade Secrets two days in a row. I got 2 Energy Field Monitors and 8 Basic Comms each time. I don’t know if this is because I solo’ed it or what. Also, the location does not have anything to do with the class of the spy. Both times I did this, the spy was in House Alde. Today, he was a healer and much harder for me (another healer) to kill.

    • http://www.facebook.com/dannik42 Craig Edwards

      Pretty sure Trade Secrets always gives 2 blue rep trophies, since you might have to search all over the damn planet to find the right base.

  • Meleoffs

    for location #2 :)

    • Meleoffs

      For the metorite fragments of course

  • Mauvais_Oeil

    Note that : [Heroic 2+] Warped To The Core

    Can be entirely made solo by an operative or an assassin sith, using stealth / CC to progress.

    Once you explode the first barrel and enter the room filled with radiation, nothing will break your stealth and you can progress with sap / concealment cooldown until you reach the second barrel with two whiteclaws. Sap the left one and fire on the barrel close to him, out of aggro range from the right one.

    Continue throught the few rooms, allways use sleeping dart on mobs you want to litteraly walk on.

    You can CC the Wampa, use the computer and then, go to the last room to claim your durasteel.

    Mission complete !

  • ScicleX

    Here’s another 2 locations for Tatooine’s [Heroic 2+] A Droid Defiant

  • Craves

    For [HEROIC 2+] Trade Secrets on Alderaan, if the transmitter isn’t on the noble house in the spaceport, there’s several others throughout Alderaan you’ll have to scan, so not quite so easy as your description says.

  • Jess

    The spot that I stood in for Guarded Research was 19, -115.

  • Hazien

    Scanning the Depths is totally bugged, or is the most random quest in all mmos.

  • slashstuck

    I just arrived on Makeb impside for the 1st time and have to locate the gsi missions terminal. I follow the markers and get to an elevator which should take me to Gravity Hook Loading Ring. I can click the blue button, the floor where i have to go has a little yellow triangle to show thats where i have to go, but the button is greyed out and i can’t click it.

    HELP! …pls!

    • Helpful Guy

      As empire, you need to progress the makeb storyline a short ways to capture and secure your base of operations (which as you already figured out, is the loading ring).

  • VyleOne

    Just noticed that daily [HEROIC 2+] Trade Secrets gives 8 Basic Comms for the Republic but only 4 for the Empire. Bioware really likes the Republic over the Empire.

  • W John Bohdan

    FYI: on the heroic2 droid quest on Tatooine, i did have to switch worlds to get it to work, as soon as i did i was able to find the last one i needed
    Thanks for the help here

  • Spark

    If you want to add another set of coordinates to your map, I found my third scrambler at x=1847, y=433.

    • Spark

      For Tatooine’s [HEROIC 2+] A Droid Defiant, I mean.

  • Krazh

    Anyone have issues with the transmitter on tatooine at 880,480, i usually have to drop my seeker 10 times or so, but ive dropped it far more today and its just not killing the transmitter.

  • John.Marshall

    This is a great guide. Thanks !!

    I can’t find the mission terminal on Alderaan? Could someone help? Please

    • http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

      It is right outside the spaceport

      • John.Marshall

        Thanks !! don’t know why I didn’t see it before???

  • ravare

    how do u get to the last bit of moisture vaporator its inside an imp base ….

    • Jakahli

      Just stand outside the base and scan it from there. you can still see it just fine and not get killed

  • dirose

    The heroic on Tatooine is solable to a point. Yeah, when you’re seeking out the transmitters. The droid you need two people. A tank and a healer at the very least. Solable, my ass.

    • Adam Wakeling

      I’ve solo’d it a fair few times with a tank OR a healer. It’s tough but doable.

      • dirose

        How? What did you do to get past the droid? What rotation? Class of toon? When I did it on my Consular Sage, it was not solable. So, exactly what did you do to get past him?

        • Adam Wakeling

          Bounty hunter healer (badly geared and very difficult) Just kept up the healing on myself and taking aggro only stopping to interrupt or do damage when i was over half health and let my companion DPS him down mostly.

          Jugg tank decently geared just blitzed it, lots easier but I was mostly 69 geared.

          Alderaan heroic 2+ was also soloable.

          • itsrambo

            Solo’d as a marauder no problem. Just used malavai quin to heal me.

            • dirobin76

              Maurader = dps = dmg…Kind of a no brainer…

              • KR Rayberry

                I was able to do it with my seer, but you will definitely need your healer alt out, not your HK. Plan on the fight taking awhile. Time your bubbles and interrupt his Heat Laser. When he harpoons you, Force Stun him and back up. When I back up(ed) I dotted him while hitting myself with a heal.

                Just plan on a long fight and keep your cool. You will get it.

              • dirobin76

                I’m going to try again tonight using your advice. I upgraded my own armor but maybe I should upgrade my healers armor too. I haven’t been keeping him upgraded because I normally use one of my dps or tanking companions. I’ve noticed that HK is kind of weak in some fights but outstanding in others…Hopefully, I won’t end up screaming at the computer again…haha

              • Urorrez

                I noticed his heat beam is timed the same as my interrupt. I sick my tank on him and run up ready to int his attack as soon as I do I go to healing until my int cools down. Then hit him with it and go back to healing. If I get my tank close to full health I do one damage attack and its back to healing. This has worked for me.

          • dirobin76

            I did what you did, but didn’t make it through the mission without help from another player. I’m decently geared Jedi Sage using the seer tree. I have blues and purple geared items and mods, no green and working on switching out the blues for the purple lvl 55 mods. It’s slow replacing these things because things are so expensive on my server. The droid harpoons you, sets you on fire. I didn’t last long.

            I also tried soloing the Alderaan heroic the other day based on the advice I saw here and died fast. Didn’t matter what I did. The boss hit me with the one shot and killed me instantly. My companion, HK-51 went down, then I went down. I healed him, but it didn’t work. I did manage to get him down to about 10% before my companion went down. By that time, my own HP was a little dot.

    • drew

      i did it on my healer but it took forever

      • dirobin76

        How many times did you go down?

    • Maalkirii

      Umm, I took it down on my middle tree Scoundrel, never dropped below 80% health. Heroic moment sure has it’s perks.

    • http://www.facebook.com/darrell.kitchen Darrell Kitchen

      I do it on my [55] Sage every single day, solo, easy as can be. But I do need to help my friend who is [55] Guardian. But only my companion does the fighting. I just heal it. And when doing it with my friend, only both our companions do the fighting, again, I just heal them.

    • Auracle

      It is soloable. Me = scoundrel healer, with Corso Riggs. Tank + healer :D

      Course, I did almost die, but next time I’ll probably do better.

  • Vashon Sith’ari of The Bastion

    I can solo all the GSI Dailies, including the heroics, as a Veng Jugg… Hoth is really the worst, but it mostly comes down to good cooldown usage & standard stuff like not standing in the bad stuff xD

    • Vashon

      and that’s without Heroic Moment, but I am using a healing companion.

    Also, is there a way to submit things to this site? I found another location for the scramblers (Republic side) that isn’t shown on the above screenshot.
