SWTOR Dantooine Biome Dynamic Encounters Guide

The Dantooine Dynamic Encounters (aka Biomes) are on the Public Test Server for Star Wars: The Old Republic, and will be available to everyone in Update 7.8 in December!

PTS: The Dantooine Dynamic Encounters (aka Biomes) are on the Public Test Server for Star Wars: The Old Republic, and will be available to everyone in Update 7.8 in December! This information is from the PTS, and is not complete and may change when the quest goes live. Right now it’s very difficult to test things due to the limited amount of people on the test server, so here’s the notes I’ve taken so far!

Preview

This is the preview the developers showed us.

Players will work together to progress through each biome and ultimately reach a stage where a challenging 4-player boss becomes available for a short time before the area resets to level one. Depending on how many players are participating in the zone, you may be able to challenge the boss multiple times a day. It all depends on working together. Read Promotional Developer Info

How to Start

Requirements: The main quest and the biomes are designed for level 80. The Dynamic Encounters in the biomes can technically be done at any level, and so can the main quest, but the enemies are level 80 and will kill you quickly if you are lower level.

To start the Dantooine Biome quests, you do not need to speak to any questgiver – you just need to fly to the Dantooine Crash Site landing point of Dantooine. Don’t land on the normal part of Dantooine, or you won’t be able to find the biome quests and there’s no shuttle to the biomes from there. Once you land, walk forwards into the camp, and you’ll automatically get the quest Wreckage on Dantooine, which is the main quest line for the area. This is a long quest that leads you around the area and teaches you about how it works, and if you want to enter the final boss area, you’ll need to have progressed past all three biomes in this quest.

This quest has a lot of steps, and if you need any help, I’ve made a step by step guide! Wreckage on Dantooine Quest Guide

THE INTRODCUTORY QUEST WILL TECH YOU MOST OF WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BIOMES!

Wreckage on Dantooine Quest Guide

How do the Biomes Work?

When you fly to the Dantooine Wreckage Site section of the planet Dantooine, you’ll see a special tracker on the top right. This tracker shows the state of the different Biomes.

There are three biomes, that roughly make up different parts of the Dantooine Crashed Ship Zone map.

Sporefall Biome – The Sporefall Biome is in the top left of the map in the north west,

Glacial Biome – The Glacial Biome is in the bottom left of the map in the south west,

Geothermal Biome – And the Geothermal Biome is on the bottom right of the map in the south east.

Each Biome has a different hazard – in the Glacial Biome, you’ll need to keep moving to stay warm, in the Geothermal Biome you’ll need to avoid the toxic water and lava, and in the Sporefall biome you’ll be slowed down over time.

As you complete Dynamic Encounters in each area, either alone or in a group, you’ll help the overall map progress, together with everyone else who is also playing on the map. Each Dynamic Encounter you complete in an area will raise its percentage bar about 4%, and everyone on the map has a general goal of getting each biome up to 100%.

When a biome reaches 100%, it will “flip”, and enter a transition phase, which unlocks a special Transition Dynamic Encounter that is only available during that transition. Then the biome will level up. The biomes can level up form level 1 ot 2, then 2 to 3. Each phase in each biome also has unique encounters – some are only available during certain phases. After rank 3 reaches 100%, instead of flipping to phase 4, it will instead stop progressing and will wait for the other biomes to catch up.

When all three biomes reach rank 3 at 100%, the core becomes aligned, and a special 4-person difficult boss fight is unlocked for the next two hours! There will still be Dynamic Encounters around the rest of the map, but none of the biomes will level up or transition during this special time window. After the core alignment timer runs out of time, all the biomes will reset to zero, allowing everyone to start at the beginning again.

Each instance of the map is also separate – so the PvE Instance may be aligned, and the PvP instance may be only at the first biome levels – so you can switch around depending on your goals for the day.

[Master 4] Orbital Core

The [MASTER 4] Orbital Core quest is a very difficult 4-person instanced quest that is only available when the cores are aligned in the Crashed Ship Biomes area of Dantooine, a high-level Dynamic Encounter area. Orbital Core Quest Guide

You will need a total of four players who are also on or past the Wreckage on Dantooine quest at step [Master 4] Orbital Core – players who have not finished the earlier quests can not even enter the core area. This quest is too difficult to do with companions or low level players, and may be too hard for the average player to complete.

The biomes must also be Core Aligned – this happens when all three biomes reach rank 3 at 100%, unlocking the core for the next two hours. If the core is not aligned, you’ll need to help push the biome maps towards completion before you can enter the core.

SWTOR Orbital Core Quest Guide

Reputation

Reputation is a way of gaining favor with different groups by completing quests for them. As you level up your reputation rank, more rewards for that reputation track become available.

You can run as many Dynamic Encounters as you want to in the biomes, but you will still be gated by how many reputation points you can earn – you can only earn a hard limit of 1,250 Sustainability reputation points in a week. This time-gating mechanism means you’ll not even be able to reach the first rank of Outsider the first week you play on this map. You’ll reach that cap by completing about 50 of any of the Dynamic Encounters in the area, in any biome, without any boosts, or 28 with the  subscriber and guild boost. If you earn over 1,250 reputation points in a week, then keep doing biomes dynamic encounters, instead of getting more reputation points, you’ll get reputation items which can be consumed from your inventory in future weeks, so if you get any of these items, just hold on to them until the weekly timer resets.

You can see your reputation by pressing “Y” on your keyboard or hover over the symbol of a person on the menu. You can hover over the Galactic Sustainability Institute name in the list to see how close you are to the next rank, and how many reputation points you have left remaining that you can earn during this week.

• None – 0 Reputation
• Outsider – 0/2,500 Reputation (2,500 total points needed)
• Newcomer – 0/5,000 Reputation (7,500 total points needed) (untested)
• Friend – 0/7,500 Reputation (15,000 total points needed) (untested)
• Hero – 0/10,000  Reputation (25,000 total points needed) (untested)
• Champion – 0/15,000 Reputation (40,000 total points needed) (untested)
• Legend – 0/30,000 Reputation (70,000 total points needed) (untested)

You get blue reputation items the dynamic encounters in the biomes. Here’s what they give you if you have the 15% guild reputation boost and are subscribed.

• Blue Reputation Token – 25 points without bonuses, earned from most Dynamic Encounters (37 points as subscriber with no guild, 45 with guild?)
• Purple Reputation Token – 30 points without bonuses
• Gold Reputation Token – 35 points without bonuses

You will need 30,000 total reputation points to reach Legend rank. Unlike the other events, it can be harder to know how many runs you would need to do to reach max reputation, as one of the best ways to get reputation is to do the Eyeless boss which rewards a blue reputation item on 8 man storymode and a purple one on the other modes. If you never did the Eyeless boss, you would reach max reputation after running the weekly with the heroic 24 times or on 24 characters.

Reputation Boosts: There are three ways to gain a bonus to reputation to make things faster – subscribing gives you a 50% reputation bonus, being in a guild can give you up to a 15% bonus, and lastly, you will occasionally get an item you can use to temporarily boost your reputation. This is called the Complimentary Major Reputation Boost and usually comes from the Daily Login rewards calendar, and is legacy-bound so you can apply it to any of your characters. It works by giving you a buff called Major Reputation Boost, which adds 15 charges of Reputation Boost for 24 hours, and each reputation trophy you use will consume 1 charge and give you increases the points you earn from reputation trophies by 50%. So in short, it lasts 24 hours, and the first 15 tokens you earn / consume on that character will be worth more so you can rank up faster.

Rewards

“We wouldn’t ask players to help the people of Dantooine without getting some sweet rewards along the way. For their efforts, players will progress along a new reputation track. And there’ll be plenty of rewards to earn, including new achievements, mounts, minipets, armor sets, decorations, and more.”

Mounts

The mounts were shown on the developer’s video about Dantooine Biomes but are now showing up on the PTS decorations list!

There’s also these four Dantooine Research Vessels that we don’t know much about from ‘Achievements’!

Decorations

The Wisteria Biome was shown on the developer’s video about Dantooine Biomes!

These are in the PTS decorations list. They are not final.

Dantooine Stronghold

“And more is pretty vague, but let’s just say if you’re helping to clean up Dantooine, it’d be really nice if you got the opportunity to have a little plot of land settle down on, like your own Stronghold, maybe. Just a thought. Now, that was a lot of information, and I’m willing to bet you’re curious to see how everything comes together.”

We got a preview of the Dantooine Stronghold from the developer video about the biomes, but the keys and unlocks are visible on the public test server. It is unclear if this will be final or if there will be more requirements. At the moment, Reputation comes very slowly – I couldn’t even reach the first rank in the first week which is Outsider.

• Barn Key – Requires Rank: Newcomer, Costs: 500,000 Credits
• Cave Key – Requires Rank: Friend, Costs: 500,000 Credits
• Landing Area Key – Requires Rank: Friend, Costs: 500,000 Credits

• West Farmhouse Key – Requires Rank: Champion, Costs: 750,000 Credits
• Greenhouse Key – Requires Rank: Legend, Costs: 1,000,000 Credits

Quests

We still know very little until we can start testing on the PTS, but here’s a taste of what might be coming up! These items, quests, and other information may or may not be on the PTS or may or may not be finished or make it to the live version. It is clear that this is a “work in progress” and some of these might not be related to Dynamic Encounters at all.

“So, what makes this area’s dynamic encounter special? Well, the crash ship has created three distinct biomes that the ship’s droids are trying to expand into Dantooine. As you complete dynamic encounters inside of each of these biomes, the biomes will level up. And as they increase in level, new dynamic encounters become available and previously inaccessible areas will open up. Players will work together to progress through each biome and ultimately reach a stage where a challenging 4-player boss becomes available for a short time before the area resets to level one. Depending on how many players are participating in the zone, you may be able to challenge the boss multiple times a day. It all depends on working together.”

UPDATE: I’m working on cataloging the new quests and how they work, but here’s a preview for now!

To use a sample kit, left-click a creature with stinky green smoke coming out of them, and when you are physically close, left-click the temporary green ability called Collect Sample. Not showing up? Temporary abilities tend to be a bit finicky – if it doesn’t show up, walk in and out of the area where it is supposed to appear, and make sure you picked up a glowing blue sample kit first.

If the creature has already been sample recently, it will not have stinky green smoke, your sample ability will be greyed out, and it will have a green injection icon near its portrait saying you’ll have to wait to sample it again.

There’s only about 12 Makrin in the area – you are looking for the green stinky ones.

Each Spore Collection Kit lets you take 3 samples, and you can’t pick up another kit utill you use all three on the creatures – you can see how many sample kits you have with the green dust buff.

To use a sample kit, left-click a creature with stinky green smoke coming out of them, and when you are physically close, left-click the temporary green ability called Collect Sample. Not showing up? Temporary abilities tend to be a bit finicky – if it doesn’t show up, walk in and out of the area where it is supposed to appear, and make sure you picked up a glowing blue sample kit first.

If the creature has already been sampled recently, it will not have stinky green smoke, your sample ability will be greyed out, and it will have a green injection icon near its portrait saying you’ll have to wait to sample it again.
