Step 16: Conquest

Dulfy has a really good guide here so I won't repeat all that goodness.

New in 5.2.2: Introduction to Conquests mission has been added to the Priorito Missions terminal on fleet (the one you get Weekly Flashpoint & Uprising missions).  Grab it, easy freebies,  When you complete it you'll get a bunch of rewards and if you already did conquest on a toon you get it automatically.  Here are the rewards

  • CXP for those @ level 70, XP for those under 70
  • 20 unassembled components (yeah the ones that drop in pvp)
  • 4000 major ship req's for GSF
  • 6250 ship req's for GSF
  • A Grand Chance Cube (yeah those who sell for 750,000+ on GTN)


Here are some basics for conquest:
  • Press L then look at 2nd tab for the conquest (cq for short) info for your toon & your guild

  • Conquest is points-driven based on activities (groupfinder, bosses, pvp, etc.) and changes every week.  
  • Two types of conquest:
    • Personal: when you hit the mark (usually 20,000 points) you get rewards (creds, cxp, mats, decos).  You can cap 1x per week per toon.
    • Guild: a GM selects  planet and your guild points are all the individual cq pts of all the guildies are summed up.  This is a bit of a race to get extra stuff:
      • If your guild is in the top-10 on server (both factions), you all get more mats (purple this time), creds, cxp and one encryption to unlock guildship plans
      • If your guild finishes #1 for a cq then you also get bragging rights as you'll see on planet "This planet is controlled by XYZ" and a nifty title like "Conqueror of Voss" for your legacy.  If you get them all you get the title "Galactic Conqueror" - shiney!
      • You get the guild-based rewards at reset on Tuesdays 7 AM EST / 8AM EDT .. or when the patches are done on servers :)
  • This can be fun to do in guilds for collaboration and races, some guilds will do prizes for #1,2, 3 in guild for the most conquest points and similar stuff
    • Some guilds will have heated races to finish #1 - and some relationships have been boo-boo'ed due to some shenanigans like "we'll cq this one" then they turn around and do another.  Please guilds, be civil it's only a game.
  • To turbo charge your conquest, get strongholds and each stronghold with 100% of decoration slots taken will give a 25% CQ bonus.  So when Manaan is added (summer 2017), that will be stronghold #6 so you will get 150% CQ bonus when working on CQ.  Shiney again.
    • Fill your strongholds with what you like, mine are littered with low-cost crap like meat trees (for the win!) except my main which is Nar Shaddaa as I have no patience to do Barbie's dreamhouse for SWTOR six times.  Just plug the holes and get bonus.  No one has to see :)
  • I typically do the planetary heroics, PvP, GF flashpoints & operation and crafting to cap my CQ toons.  As you can see this is normal in-game activities.
  • Want to know where your guild ranks for conquest performance?  There is a site for that!
