SWTOR 8.0 adding 10 new legacy levels and two new legacy perks!

News Date: August 20, 2025 Patch: 8.0 News Source

The next expansion in SWTOR will be bringing the Legacy Level maximum up to 60, and two new extremely useful legacy perks.

Improved Rest and Recharge reduces your other ability cooldowns after you complete the channel of a Rest and Recharge ability. At maximum rank this reduces all your cooldowns completely. This perk does not apply in PVP.

Medical Probe Affinity grants your character the ability to call the Medical Probe an additional time without incurring a timer penalty. Each rank grants an additional death before the timer increases.

  • Improved Rest and Recharge I: Legacy Level 52 and 4,000,000 Credits
  • Improved Rest and Recharge II: Legacy Level 57 and 8,000,000 Credits
  • Improved Rest and Recharge III: Legacy Level 60 and 16,000,000 Credits
  • Medical Probe Affinity I: Legacy Level 53 and 3,500,000 Credits
  • Medical Probe Affinity II: Legacy Level 55 and 7,000,000 Credits

Changes

The developers also said some changes and adjustments would come to the existing legacy levels.

Over time we’ve released many perks at various break points in our levelling journey. This lead to perks being highly concentrated in the original legacy levels and sparse otherwise. There was little consideration for where you would be in your overall journey from a level and reward perspective. As such, we’ve adjusted many of the perks costs and level requirements. Now, you should be getting access to a new Legacy or Character Perk at every Legacy Level. This will not affect your character or legacy if you’ve already acquired these perks prior to 8.0.
