B3-S1 Basilisk Droid Upgrade Track

B3-S1 aka ‘the Basilisk Droid Companion’ is part of a long series of quests qhere you take your special Basilisk prototype companion out into the world, where you complete quests together, allow your companion to learn how to fight, and upgrade your Basilisk prototype over time.

If you haven’t already learned how B3-S1 aka “Bessie” works, you’ll want to first read the Basilisk Droid Starter Guide to learn how her quests and upgrades work.

Thanks so much to player Tox_Pack who was sending in her Basilisk droid data as she got it, and was one of the first people to complete the Basilisk droid quests 1-11 and the companion customization, and to Zahk who helped write about the Basilisk quests in the starter guide! Sunjammer submitted info for Grade 10, and obiwanomalley for Grade 9, Zahk for Grade 6, Awesome for figuring out the potential missing ranks. I’ve still got a ways to go to fully confirm all of these, but this should give you a very good idea of how B3-S1 and her ranks work! – Swtorista
