SWTOR Coruscant Dynamic Encounters Guide

Dynamic Encounters are scheduled, timed quests on different planets in Star Wars: The Old Republic. If you are new to Dynamic Encounters and want to learn more about how they work and how to find them, visit the Dynamic Encounters Guide! This guide goes over all the Dynamic Encounters on Corsucant! 

Rewards

There’s a bunch of different rewards you can get from Coruscant Dynamic Encounters.

All Encounters

All encounters give credits and experience.

At level 80, these quests also give 50 Tech Fragments and 3 Conquest Commendations, which are used for end-game gear or to earn credits or cosmetic items.

Coruscanti Leisure Cruiser

Completing all of the encounters at least once and completing 75 Coruscant Dynamic Encounters total will earn you an achievement and a unique mount called the Coruscanti Leisure Cruiser. You can check your progress in your Achievements in the section Dynamic Encounters → Coruscant → Mastery.

Once you have earned this achievement, you can get the mount on your other characters by going into the achievement panel and right-clicking it, which will add it to your mounts list if you have speeder piloting (it will not give you an item in your inventory).

Coruscant Conspiracy Console (Decoration) – From the Achievement – Right All Along: Find an actual listening device during the Dynamic Encounter “They’re Listening.” (I assume it is random chance!)

Achievement – Unusual Cargo – Black Sun Boss Secret Keycard Quest!

There is a secret quest associated with the three Black Sun bosses. When you defeat them, they give you a key card with a timer. This is an item in your inventory and also shows you a 1 hour and 30 minutes buff for each of the keycards.

• You lose the buff(s) if you log out, change instances, or die.
• It is safe to quicktravel – you will not lose the buffs.
• It is possible to get all three keycards  within the 1 minute 30 by being patient. I don’t know if you need all three at once. The bosses do not spawn directly after each other, but every 15 minutes new encounters pop up, and the bosses seem to cycle.
• Once you have all three cards and all three active buffs, go to the Silent Sun cantina’s upper floor and right-click the crate to open it up!

Ugnaught  Engineering

Uhnaughts have taken heavy losses against Imperials in the ruins of the Jedi Temple. They’ve engineered a way to take their revenge. The Uggernaught!

Step 1:

• Defend Ugnaught Engineers Repairing the Uggernaught 100%

The Ugnaughts can’t repair the droid if they are being attacked, so defeat any enemies bothering them so they can get back to their repairs.

BUG / ISSUE: The Uggernaught droid may not actually be there – and the quest gets stuck at 70%. I *think* this happens when there is too many people around, and everyone kills the enemies nearby. I *think* you need to allow the Imperial Commandos to attack the Uggnaughts so the Uggnaughts shoot back – then kill the Imperial Commandoes, and the Uggnaughts might be able to resume repairs and it makes the droid reappear.

Step 2:

• Accompany the Uggernaught 0/25

Kill things along the way nearby. You don’t have to stay with him.

BUG / ISSUE: I have heard that the droid needs to kill the enemies itself – so let him walk around and kill them, don’t defeat enemies yourself or he’ll have nothing to fight.

Step 3 (Clean):

Your goal once linked is to find a hiding spot. Hiding spots are blue grates on the ground around the walls and couches.

Once you found a hiding spot that the droid can not see, right-click the glowing blue grate. Do not move after clicking the grate.

Under Staffed

The Under Staffed Dynamic Encounter is quite confusing but fun. It also has an achievement.

Description: The lone bartender in the Drunkard’s Vote cantina needs help serving patrons, and is begging for assistance.

This dynamic encounter has two steps – the tutorial with Paxton, then the actual serving of drinks to the patrons.

If you have done the tutorial before, you can use the Skip Tutorial temporary ability that should appear when you walk near the bar.

• Unhappy Patrons 0/3 (if you fill this up 3/3, you have to restart)

Patrons become unhappy when you take too long to take their order, or deliver their drinks, or pick up their cups. They want speedy service! Green means the most time, yellow running out, orange even les time, and red means you are about to lose them.

Step 1:

• Walk close up to a table with a large arrow over it (any color, green means you have more time)

• Use the Take Order green temporary ability button

Step 2:

Achievement – Consummate Professional

The achievement says: “Consummate Professional You’ve worked in customer service before, haven’t you? Serve Customers at the Drunkard’s Vote without any Unhappy Patrons”

This means you need to get three tables completed in a row without any of the tables turning red in between. Quick tips:

• Once you skip the tutorial, tables on either side might get the first order, so hang out in the middle between them
• Four drinks seems to be the happy medium of what you can make before it takes too long to deliver an order (12 ingredients)
