Work In Progress Guide: The Grand Acquisition Race

Please note that this guide will be continually updated as more information emerges and becomes ready for publication. Images will be added as they are available. If you see something we missed, feel free to chime in and add your thoughts in the comments section. If we use something you mention, we'll give you credit in the post.

UPDATE (8/14/12 1:30pm EST):   Joveth Gonzalez weighs in with a tip concerning resetting bonus missions associated with the Grand Acquisitions Race:

Joveth Gonzalez

Hi there! If you ever get frustrated and delete a bonus mission during the Grand Acquisitions Race's main mission, the easiest way to get it back is to reset the main mission for this event. You'll still retain all of your previous items and you will only lose the progress that you've made towards the current item that you're pursuing. Hope that helps!

The Grand Acquisitions Race is on! With this kind of World Event, it is important for us to share information as it comes in. To assist in this, were creating a work in progress guide that will document our progression through the event. A detailed recounting of the new quest line along with screenshots is contained after the jump. Video and further information is coming soon but for now, hit the jump to find out more.

Rewards

Each of the following items can be purchased from the Chevin Conglomerate's Shady Dealer vendor on Nar Shadaa, in the Lower Promenade area. See below for a map.

General Information

When you log into your character, you will want to make your way to your respective faction fleet. After making your way there, head over to one of the hallways near the elevators. You will notice the same holoprojector terminal used for the Rakghoul Plague Outbreak event. Go ahead and click on it. Following the video, you will receive a quest that will tell you to make your way to Nar Shaddaas Lower Promenade. 

Head to your ship and once on Nar Shadaa use the taxi. Upon arrival at the Lower Promenade, click the Chevin Conglomerate Message Center to activate the first part of the quest line.

After hearing him babble for a bit, the next tier will take you on an item hunt for the things listed below.

HOW TO GET STARTED

  • Travel to Nar Shadaa (You can skip the initial quest from your fleet station, it's simply to alert players that the world event has begun).
  • Take a taxi to the Lower Promenade, and activate the Chevin Conglomerate Message Center.
  • After a brief video cutscene, you receive the mission The Grand Acquisitions Race, tasking you along a scavenger hunt across the galaxy for a laundry list of items.
