Since sharing my thoughts on how I chose legacy perks for my next SWTOR alt, I’ve heard a lot of folks talk about the lack of customization available for their characters, and complaints that there wasn’t anything “good to buy” in the new crop of Legacy character perks. To that I say: Baloney! There are perks for altaholics and end game only focused players alike. And to that end, I’ve grouped them together to make it easier to see the playtime customization available to you through their purchase.
ALTAHOLICS
- I like to PvP as I level.
PURCHASE: Improved Warzone Experience - I like to do Flashpoints as I level
PURCHASE: Improved Flashpoint Experience - I can’t tear myself away from Space Missions
PURCHASE: Improved Space Mission - I wish I could mostly just do my Class quests and skip a bunch of the others
PURCHASE: Improved Class Mission Experience - I like to wander around and uncover all the points on the map as I level
PURCHASE: Improved Exploration Experience - I miss my speeder when I start my alts…
PURCHASE: Improve Speeder piloting
ONE CHARACTER, END GAME FOCUSED
- It takes too long to get to the Fleet/my capital city/ the Black Hole dailies
PURCHASE: Priority Transport - There’s never a repair droid when you need one in the raid or flashpoint
PURCHASE: Field Repair Droid - What this Operation really needs is a mailbox…
PURCHASE: Field Mail Droid - I wish I didn’t have to spend 15 minutes heading out to respec for my groups…
PURCHASE: Field Respecialization
CRAFTING MIN/MAXERS and ROMANCE ADDICTS
- I wish more of my max level items critted to include an augment
PURCHASE: Legacy of Crafting - I like to grind out in the open world, but my bags get filled with junk too quickly but I am too impatient to send my companion to sell it
PURCHASE: Legacy of Leadership - I like to shower my companions in gifts
PURCHASE: Legacy of Altruism - I wish my smart conversation choices resulted in more affection
PURCHASE: Legacy of Persuasion
Now that you can see how these perks can directly improve your day-to-day game play, for details on how much these perks will cost you, in both legacy levels and cash, check out Dulfy’s detailed listing.

Inquisitor's Roadhouse 
I always start with the speeder perk. As soon as I get my Kurtob Alliance it will be really awesome! The rest of my alts will be able to have Rank 3 speed at level 10!
I am still bummed my prior refer a friends did not net me the freebie speeder– I’ll have to buy my alts the perk and a bike. But it seems well worth it, thinking about a certain HUGE planet with much running back and forth past rakghouls…
I thought previous referrals counted??? I’ve seen people on the fleet with them, and the only way they could have gotten them is if their friends have completed their 30 days and paid for month…
I clearly did not do it properly (or my referees didn’t do it properly) as I have referred 2 peeps whom I know played for months, yet I never got a speeder.

Actually the Kurtob is level 25, but that’s still pretty sweet!
Yeah, but the above comments refers to Legacy Perk unlocks – Rank 1 Speeder Piloting at Level 10. This is why people are so excited about the Kurtob; you can have effectively a Rank 3 speeder from the moment you hit level 10 (leave your origin world).
I usually avoid the increased XP simply because I feel like I level fast enough as is. Sometimes I may miss most of a planet. The speeder and companion conversations are the two I buy.
So far the speeder perk is my favourite. I have yet to try out warzones so depending on how those go for me, the warzone perk might be next on the list. I’m currently saving up for a lot of the ship perks and the deployable repair droid and such. 🙂
I wish my legacy was high enough to max out some of the perks…downside of my 3 legacy server is split efforts. Nice that the speeder peek is pretty attainable for folks.
For every new alt I create, I automatically buy the “Improved Fp XP”, “Improved Class Xp”, “Legacy of Leadership” and “Improved Speeder Piloting I”. My reasons are quite simple: I mostly team for flashpoints, I travel to planets usually only for the class quests, a 5s trash items selling time is too amazing and I’m about to get my hands on that Kurtob Alliance Speeder. 😀

I get laughed at for not even having reached level50 yet ive been subbed since launch… 😉
I am looking forward to some of the Legacy Perks though, number 1 being the Speeder Perk and since im an altoholic probably also all the XP enhancers.
What im most looking forward though is the Race unlock so i can expand my Chiss family and finally create my BH’s Smuggler and Jedi Knight relatives 🙂

The Progenitor Server
The first rank of speeders is probably the biggest impact, it’s a very small added premium for mount access fifteen levels early.
Leadership is under-rated, especially for players without a lot of alts – I use the vending thing for convenience in inventory management, even at the default cooldown.
As to Persuasion and Altruism, buyer beware – because each individual character can only earn so much affection and each point of affection has a credit value (i.e. cost of gifts to purchase it), you can pay more for these perks than you “save”.
