Group Contracts and World Events
[In Testing]Completed] Group Contracts and World Events are runninglive on theSecura TestHorizon and ExperimentalSecura servers. They are not yet on Live, and nothing here is a promise of when they will arrive.Origins. Details can still change. See the v1.9.0 Live Update.
What's New
- Group quests: groups of 2 to 8 players can do dynamic quests together. Each member gets their own entry in the Quest Journal under "Group Quests", and progress on shared tasks is shared by the whole group.
- Group contracts on the City Contract Boards: Mos Eisley, Coronet and Theed boards have a new Group tab with harder contracts built for a team. Each board offers 6 daily and 3 weekly group contracts.
- World event: Dune Cartel Raid on Mos Eisley: when enough players are on Tatooine, the Dune Cartel attacks Mos Eisley in four waves. Join the defense, fight alongside other players and earn a reward.
Group quests
- Groups of 2 to 8 players.
- To get credit, stay within 128 m of the action and stay active. Contribute to the kills to be paid.
- Joining mid-quest: you start at the group's current task.
- Leaving: your own entry for that quest is abandoned.
- Leader leaves: a new leader takes over automatically.
Group contracts
- Form a group of 2 to 4 players.
- The group leader opens a City Contract Board and chooses the Group tab.
- The leader selects a contract and presses Accept. Only the leader can accept.
- Track it in your Quest Journal (
Ctrl+J) under "Group Quests".

|---|---|
| Listings per board | 6 daily and 3 weekly group contracts |
| Group size | 2 to 4 players |
| Your limits | 5 daily and 2 weekly group completions, 3 group contracts at once |

| Reward chest | None |
| Per listing | One character per account per listing per rotation |

World event: Dune Cartel Raid
- How it starts: automatically when at least 5 different accounts are on Tatooine, with a long wait between raids. A game master can also start one.
- What happens: a planet-wide announcement and a prompt asking if you want to join (level 12 and up). The raid has 4 waves, 38 raiders (Jabba's thugs and enforcers and Dune Stalkers) and lasts 20 minutes.
- Tracking: joining adds an entry under "World Events" in your Quest Journal, and a tracker window shows the current wave, kills and time left.
- Reward: players who join and land kills receive 8,000 credits, 3,000 combat XP and +60 Mos Eisley standing, once per account.
- If the raid fails: the Mos Eisley contract boards close for 30 minutes with the message "closed during the raid". While a raid is running, the boards show an Active Event line.
Board improvements
[In Testing]Completed] These board improvements are on the Test and Experimental servers only, not on Live yet.live. The number format needs the latest client from the launcher.
- Numbers follow your Currency Format: credits, experience, standing, faction standing, GCW points and the Standing tab counts show with your own grouping style from Options > Misc > Currency Format, for example 40,500.
- Colored standing tiers: tier names are colored like item rarity: white (common), green (uncommon), light blue (rare), light purple (epic) and gold (legendary).
- Clearer messages: if the board refuses you, you get a plain message in chat and on the board window, for example "You must be in a group to accept group contracts." or "Only your group leader can accept group contracts." The message also tells you when your group is too small or too large. Group leaders are told when a member could not join the group quest and why.
- New tab layout: Daily, Weekly and Group (then Faction, for faction players) are on the left. Standing is alone on the right.
