Game Update 1.7: New Cartel Market Items

Going live with the update tomorrow, new items are making an appearance on the Cartel Market.  It was announced alongside some other interesting news in SWTOR Insider: Episode 4, via the official site.  For the items announced, as well as a complete coverage of the post itself, hit the jump.

SW:TOR Insider Episode 4

Serving mostly as a recap, the Insider video also had a few interesting things to announce.  Let's take a look:

Classic Looks for Armor

Having listened to player feedback, specifically with regards to streamlining appearance, a few armor sets are seeing classic versions brought back.  Spymaster, Phantom, and Trailblazer will all have classic versions available.

Space Pirate Cartel Pack

According to the pack's description:

  • Extraordinary items appropriated from pirates all across the galaxy.
  • Packs contain rare bonus items found nowhere else.
  • Features a wider variety of exclusive items than any previous pack.

It remains to be seen what exact items will be making an appearance, but we'll have a look as soon as possible tomorrow.

Other Items Making an Appearance

Also announced and featured in the video are the following items:

Coinciding with Valentine's Day coming up, we have Jawagrams.  Costing only 20 Cartel Coins, you'll see these little guys everywhere.

Also making an appearance is a new customization for your Ship Droid.  Looking rather dapper in a tuxedo, I'm sure this will be a popular item!

As I said previously in the post, we'll do our best to get coverage of all the new items up tomorrow as quickly as possible, along with full coverage of Game Update 1.7 .  Thanks for reading!

    Ah, finally some love for the ship droid.  Now if they'd just let me buy him a gun he could use.  THAT I would buy, and as soon as possible.

    Okay, I'm confused.  What makes the above mentioned armor sets "classic?"  Is this how they originally looked, and was that look altered at some point?  If so, are they reverting the existing ones to the "classic" look or will owners have to repurchase them?  The only thing that I could gather is that these sets don't have shoulder pads on them.

    Yes. The "classic" have the look before BioWare turned them into crap.

    Some who ownes one of thoses armor parts will keep the altered version and will als get additionally the classic version by mail.

    New buyers kann choose by now, which packet they buy, both packs have differnt versions (one the classics, one the new ones) as random items, if I got it right.

    From what I've heard so far, the event will happen several times throughout the year.  I don't know specifics, unfortunately, but I do know that much.
