The Dantooine Dynamic Encounters are set to come out on the PTS (public test server) ‘spoon’ and we are starting to get our first look at them! This guide will be very sparse until we can test on the PTS, but here is what we know 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.
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.”
Potential Rewards
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.

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.”

“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.”
