New Player - looking for guidance

Hello everyone. I am a brand new player. I just started yesterday. I am liking the game. I been watching some guides on youtube, but thought to post here about where to start more or less. I know of guilds but i am not sure when i can or should join one. I am just looking for some good guidance. I think i am going to take a break from MCOC and focus on this game for awhile. something new and different. Thank you for taking your time to read this.

  • You should join a guild ASAP and then try to get into one doing heroic raids as quickly as you can find one that will take you.

    The guides you’re viewing will be more comprehensive than what I can type out but if you have specific questions feel free to ask.
  • Many folks will tell you to pursue current meta squads, but meta will likely change before you get there. Some basics remain constant for early to mid play like jedi, phoenix, nightsisters, imperials: particularly troopers and Vader. However, if you wanna get started on clones, have at it

    I’m not certain as it’s been a long time, but google told me it’s level 22. I believe you will automatically be placed in a starter guild, and there are some achievements tied to it, but as soon as you get those out of the way try to get into a real guild.

    Yes. Getting one should be a top priority.
  • As someone who recently started an alt, I'd recommend ditching the starter guild immediately. Refresh the recommended guilds to see what the largest (GP) one is you can join and join that one.

    After you build a decent roster, start looking here for a real guild.
  • Your best use of crystals is the first tier of energy refreshes (3x50pt LS/DS/fleet/mod & 3x100pt Cantina) - that gets you xp, credits/fleet mats and in some cases Mk 3 ability mats in addition to whatever you actually want to farm.

    And your best value for real life money is crystals for energy refreshes, especially when they go on sale which they do occasionally, and the $7.99 gear packs with a few shards of a bunch of different gear types plus some energy.
