SWTOR Help Wanted Tradehouse Quests and Mek-Sha Friend of the Tradehouse Secret Achievement

The Tradehouse Quests are a set of five little exploratory quests in Star Wars: The Old Republic that start on Mek-Sha.

Help Wanted

To start the quest line, you can pick up Help Wanted from the glowing blue terminal near where you land on the planet. This is also where you would pick up Heroic quests for this planet.

You might also see the Help Wanted quest on a random little glowing blue datapad near the landing pad.

If you have not finished the Mek-Sha storyline yet, you can do the Help Wanted quest to meet Diihara Val the nautolan in the Tradehouse, but the actual terminal beside her will not be lit up and will not have any quests for you.

Once you have the quest, it will lead you to the

After you speak to Diihara, use the terminal beside her to pick up the weekly Tradehouse Requisitions quest, and whatever other quest is also available there.

The weekly resets on Tuesdays, and asks you to complete 3 little Tradehouse quests – but you’ll only be able to pick up and do 1 little random quest per day – so if the quest resets before you can do that, you won’t get the reward. Luckily the reward is only 100 tech frags – in previous expansions, used to be more worthwhile to do these quests.

Quests

There are five different quests that can show up on the Tradehouse terminal, and it’s random which one will be available per day:

• Things Czerka Left
• Culinary Pursuits
• Turf War Troubles
• A Groundbreaking Opportunity
• More Credits Than Sense

They all rewards just credits / xp, but all of them count towards both the little weekly to do 3, and the achievement to do 15.

Achievement

The secret achievement is called Friend of the Tradehouse, and it requires you to complete any 15 little Tradehouse quests. The achievement is hidden by default until you complete it, so you can’t even check your progress until you’ve completed 15 total. There’s no reward for this secret achievement except for 5 achievement points. It would be in the Location – Mek-Sha – General category.

Things Czerka Left

The Mek-Sha Tradehouse, upon hearing rumors that a previous version of Czerka abandoned a secret facility on Tatooine, has sent you to recover any technological devices that might have been left behind. Travel to Tatooine and search for Czerka gadgets.

Outpost Salara is the closest quicktravel / taxi on Republic-side.

Find the piles of blue garbage, right-click them, then right-click the gadget that shows up.

Culinary Pursuits

Dantooinian Vormfruit is in high demand among the galaxy’s well-to-do, and the Mek-Sha Tradehouse is struggling to produce enough for its clients. Travel to Dantooine and secure some to bolster the Tradehouse’s stock.

This quest isn’t marked on the map – instead just fly to the normal Dantooine, and go to one of the two Vormfruit patches and look for glowing blue Vormfruits and barrels.

A Groundbreaking Opportunity

Seismic activity on Rishi has exposed valuable exonium deposits. The Mek-Sha Tradehouse would like assistance in locating these deposits so it can auction off the information. Travel to Rishi and use the macrobinoculars to locate deposits in the indicated region. 

Rishii Village is the closest quicktravel / taxi.

Left-click the scanners in your quest log or right-click them in your mission inventory. Use your mouse to aim the camera, and once you’ve rolled it over the ugly rock with aqua blue bumps of exonoium, then right-click to zoom in. Right click to zoom out and re-scan another rock. Press ESC on your keyboard to escape out. You are looking for 5 of these in the area.

Then, Left-click the stim in your quest log or right-click them in your mission inventory while having the grefna collected.

Lastly, use the temporary ability on the stunned grefna to get a blood sample.
