Thank you to everyone who joined our Killer Wedding and helped make the final Stroke my Wookie event extra special. My previous news post SMW: A Decade Of Victories highlighted our victories, world records and achievements and being able to end the story with such a fun event was perfect.
It's been a great honor and a life changing experience leading the guild for the past 10 years. It was all made possible with the hard work and dedication of some incredible officers. Thank you to each and every one of you across the years for stepping up to help. The support and guidance you provided helped shape the lives of countless people across the world, myself included.
People say it's just a game but it's a game where I made great memories, life long friends and I met my wife. I hope you all find the same happiness that I have. ❤️
Congratulations Wookies, today marks 10 years since our guild was founded and we started kicking ass! There are not many guilds that can say they survived the chaos of the early times, multiple server merges and 10 years of uninterrupted awesomeness!
My philosophy has been that if we provide fun events and a positive environment to ensure you enjoy your evenings then maybe your days will be a little brighter and that will ripple to others around you both in and out of the game. Our positive vibes clearly reached a lot of people as the guild has dominated the game for an entire decade which is no small feat. We've been the luxury guild home that members return to when they resub throughout the years so every member past and present shares in our success. I applaud you all 👏
World Record: Lexendra won the world's fastest solo speed leveling record from 1-75 in 2h 52m
World Record: Bjorn, Lexendra, Nim & Nyaard won the world's fastest team speed leveling record from 1-75 in 1h 46m
It's been a phenomenal ten years and I am extremely proud of everything we have accomplished. We've hosted over sixty progression raid teams, we've led hundreds of server events to benefit the wider community and we've run thousands of guild events to help make sure you have the most enjoyable time imaginable. The guild has taught me countless life lessons and I am a better person because of it. I honestly believe we have been one of the best guilds any game has seen and I wish to thank every one of you for contributing to such an amazing experience. ❤️❤️❤️
Back in December the devs made a big deal about it being the games 10th year and that it was such a special occasion they were going to throw a whole year of celebrations. This helped me realise that it wasn't just another guild birthday for us. It's a decade of achievements and victories. A decade of learning and self improvement. A decade of meeting new friends and a decade of incredible memories. Ten years of success is an amazing milestone for anything in life and for me it was a wake up call. It's time to see what I can do if I spend the next 10 years focusing the same energy on the real world! As we have always been an event focused guild, I decided to embrace the year of celebrations and run over 50 special events to mark the final chapter in the book of Stroke my Wookie. 😥
I kept my intentions secret so everybody could enjoy the party but as we enter the final months it is important that you are aware of what's coming so you can plan your future. July 4th is the guild's 10 year birthday and September 12th will be 10 years since I ascended the skull throne and claimed the mantle of Emperor. On that day I will either entrust lead to a successor or close the guild down.
A New Day, A New Beginning? I have asked the officers if any of them want to continue the guild in their own image with one caveat; I'm taking the name with me into the void so that if the guild continues it will be a fresh start! I will post back in a few days when the outcome is known.
If none of them want the responsibility then on my final day in September I will bid everyone farewell and turn off the lights after the weekly reset as you move to your new guilds. Then I will let my sub lapse.
Update: Stuart will take lead of the guild on September 12th. It will be renamed to signify a fresh start and new direction. Check my comment below this news post for more information.
Grand Finale: Laugh It Up, Fuzzball! There's no need to do anything right now. My last day is over 2 months away so the guild will continue to be as badass as ever until then 👊😁
I've planned three months of special events as a grand finale and starting with the next conquest, I have more than tripled our conquest rewards so you win 1 million credits for every 100k points. Thanks to Quartermaster Phrixi, we have several vaults of high value prizes to dish out in our daily Going Away Roster Giveaways!

Back in 2018 I met the love of my life. In 2019 I proposed by hiding a tiny note inside a Star Wars Rose ring and then putting that in the last box of the Christmas advent calendar. In June 2021 we got married with a small ceremony that my mom, auntie and an old friend attended and then in October as covid lockdown measures eased we were able to have a second slightly larger wedding in Germany so my wife's family could attend. I asked her to keep our relationship secret in-game as I wanted to protect her from the trolls who target me but I know it's been eating her up that she can't tell her friends so now this era is drawing to a close, I want her to have what she wished for and more so in super ultra dorky fashion... please accept my invitation to the in-game wedding of Ula Vii and Lexendra on Saturday September 10th 💗 (which will be followed by an absinthe fueled drunken Monster Bash as our final event!)
Congratulations to Warmaster Darknell for becoming the first person in the world to achieve 600,000,000 conquest points since the patch 6 conquest changes. He has always been a driving force in conquest which he has demonstrated time and again with his leadership of our Conqueror team and the numerous victories they have helped the guild win.
🏅 Thank you Darknell, exceptionally well played! 🏅

I know it's easy to be frustrated about patch 7.0 being officially delayed until 15th February but we can turn this to our advantage by using the extra time to help everyone get the last of the Renown achievement titles along with the 68 Spoils of War gear legacy titles that will be granted retroactively when 7.0 arrives:
Spoils Of War Gear Legacy Titles Aggressive Treatment Apex Predator Ballast Point Ballistic Concentration Comet Champion Concentrated Fire Dashing Blademaster Death Knell Decelerator Descent of the Fearless Dire Retaliation Dying Precision Efficient Termination Emergency Power Empowered Restorer Endless Offensive Escape Artist Established Foothold Final Breath Flawless Riposte Force Bound Fulminating Defense Game Plan Hunter Killer Lord of Pain Meteor Brawler Nimble Master Outlaws Parlay Perfect Form Precise Targeter Probe Tech Quick Thinker Rapid Response Repositioning Restorative Drive Revitalized Mystic Saber Master Shadow Purger Soulbender Squad Leader Stationary Grit Stimulated Superiority Taskmaster Tech Medic The Authority The Avenger The Berserker The Controller The Culling Blade The Debilitator The Entertainer The Gathering Storm The Murderous Revelation The Notorious The Preserver The Rebuking Assault The Right Price The Slow Road The Strategist The Tactician The Tormented The Undying The Victor Trishin's Retort Unyielding Protector Veteran Ranger Woad's Instinct Source: Dev Post
I've replaced our originally scheduled 7.0 speed leveling and 326 gearing events with a series of "Special Loot Rule" Hard Mode raids to help you get Tech Fragments and SoW Gear:
After each boss kill DO NOT equip the gear that drops.
Everyone can see the gear drops in ops chat and request a trade to cross it off their achievement.
You will get your gear piece back after the trades and can equip it then.
There will be a break between each operation so people can spend Tech Fragments.
We'll have more gear and renown boosting events in January but I suggest you join in now before time runs away and you only have a few days left again! 😉
10 Year Celebration SWTOR celebrates it's 10 year anniversary on 20th December 2021 and because they know it's a big deal to reach double digits they are holding an entire year of celebrations. What makes this even cooler is that the celebration period covers two of our own anniversaries:
We're just a few months away from reaching 10 years which is already a huge accomplishment and you should all be very proud of yourselves. Thank you for everything big and small that you've done to make this the guild that it is today.
To make our journey to the 10th year extra fun, we will fully embrace the SWTOR year of celebrations by taking everything learned over the last decade to make this one of the most special years in the game's history. I have already planned several celebration events across the next 10 months starting this December:
🎉 December 14th: Patch 7.0 - Legacy of the Sith 🎉 🎉 December 20th: 10 Year Anniversary Celebrations Begin 🎉 🎉 January: R-4 Anomaly Operation Arrives 🎉

Celebration & Holiday Events
Mon 20th December 18:00 - 10 Billion Credit Reddit Giveaway
⭐️ Patch 7 Renown, Character Leveling & Gearing ⭐️
Legacy of the Sith raises the character level to 80, introduces several tiers of gear and archives the renown system. We've implemented a three stage plan to help you get sorted for patch 7.0 and the R-4 Anomaly. 👾
Stage 3: Gearing With patch 7.0 all the current raids are branded as "Legacy Operations" and you won't be able to enter any of them until you reach level 80. After we've helped you get to the max character level we have a series of special gearing events to get you ready for the new "R-4 Anomaly" raid in January:
Life Enhancers Once the patch drops we will work towards rebuilding a fresh stock of the new top level single use stims, medpacs, adrenals and grenades for our guild bank Life Enhancer vaults. As a Christmas bonus we will also aim to provide one set of reusables for every member of our progress raid teams. 🎁
Level 76 Set Bonus Warning All set bonuses on your current gear will stop working when you reach level 76. The set bonus feature has been moved to the two implant slots as "Legendary Items".
Although each content area drops different gear types, you can wear it in all content. The only differences are the vendor you buy them from and the source for the currency/materials required to get them. You can read more about the gear in Swtorista's PTS 7.0 gear guide.
New Gear Levels 318: Trash Gear > Drops before level 80 > Legacy Operations balanced for 318 320: Trash Gear > Drops from level 80 > You can't get 320 or above until you reach level 80! 322: Legacy Operations Story Mode 326: CQ, PvP, GSF & Legacy Operations Veteran (Hard) Mode 328: R-4 Anomaly Story Mode 330: Legacy Operations Master (Nightmare) Mode & R-4 Anomaly Veteran (Hard) Mode 332: R-4 Anomaly Veteran (Hard) Mode 334: R-4 Anomaly Veteran (Hard) Mode
