Guiding Light

The Guiding Light is a Retired Endgame Update 1 1 Unique lightsaber that can be found in Star Wars: The Old Republic. The Guiding Light can only be used at a specific level and up, but if you are higher than the weapon's required level, you can wear it cosmetically in the Outfitter to show its appearance on your character while using a higher-level weapon in your Gear tab for stats.

How to Get: Retired Endgame Update 1 1 Unique

This is not a direct screenshot of the Guiding Light. The file name is malevolent-force-champion-lightsaber---vile-elder-vindicators-lightsaber---vile-force-battler-lightsaber---virtuous-force-battler-lightsaber---virtuous-primeval-ardent-blades-lightsaber-3524-thumbnail.png - as far as I can tell it is identical to another weapon, so I re-used the screenshots. There may be small variations that I could not tell apart when comparing thumbnails, previews or item icons.

Sound: Vindican

All Lightsabers with the Vindican sound type have the same sound, including the Guiding Light. This isn't the official name, and this Lightsaber sound type may be labelled something like weaponmeleelightsaber04 in the background of the game.

I do not have a video of the Guiding Light, but you can watch a video of the Indomitable Vanquisher's Saberstaff weapon to hear the Vindican sound type, which is the same as the Guiding Light.

These weapons will have a similar appearance to the Guiding Light, either in the same family of weapons or have some similar features. There's no real name for the appearance type, but I've labelled it saberhigh04a01v01 which may be a name I called all similar weapons, or a name in the game files.

🔊 = same sound / 🔇 different sound

There are no similar weapons with this appearance, it's one of a kind in my database!
