SWTOR Companion Gift Guide

Hey all!

So, I only looked through the forums quickly, but thought I'd toss this up as a resource in case others needed it - it's especially difficult to figure out what Khem Val wants for Valentines Day .... other than freshly torn out hearts. So, I came across this:

Awesome! Thanks for posting. We actually where trying to figure this out last nite in guild chat. Corso is so damn picky!

I prefer http://www.swtor-spy.com/companions/ (works better with my brain) click gift info for the companion to find out how they feel about all the gifts.

oh that's a pretty one, jon. thanks for linking!

There's something I've been wondering and I can't seem to find a definite answer anywhere. Using the info below as an example, what do the two values represent that are separated by a comma? Do these refer to Light, Dark or maybe Male, Female?? From looking at the Google Docs link I'm thinking this might be whether you're Light / Dark but I'm not sure.

I'm hoping it's not male, female because that's not the direction I thought Bioware was going to go. I know we don't have SSRO yet but I wonder if I can at least give my male companion a courting gift to increase affection. You know, just start off as "friends" :whistle:

Weapon: love
Military Gear: favorite, love
Courting: indifferent, like
Luxury: like, love
Technology: indifferent
Republic Memorabilia: indifferent
Imperial Memorabilia: indifferent
Cultural Artifact: indifferent
Trophy: like
Underworld Good: favorite, love

It means if you go down a light/dark path

Ahh, so in this example he would only like courting gifts from me if I was Dark I or higher. I think I gotz it now! Thank you sir for clearing that up.

interesting... Hmmm, now you got my wheels turning. :evil:

EDIT: I just found this site that has a very simple and easy to read chart for each faction as well as some handy information about gift and affection levels. Notice it it doesn't mention anything about Light/Dark. I wonder if that is something that didn't make it into the released version of the game?

On this one you post, Jaesa Willsam shows a light and dark version. I was going off a Google Doc that is linked in our Link Repository.

The more I research the more I'm seeing varying information depending on where I look. I'm sure this is due to the game being so new. These sites at least give us a good foundation to go on though. We'll just have to experiment a little and see what works. That's more fun anyway, right.

I love that we have this whole companion element in the game. I'm looking forward to watching it evolve through future content. Who knows, someday my Sith Sorcerer may meet the man of his dreams and settle down to adopt a few little Sithlings in the burbs of Dromund Kaas.

I love the companion aspect to the game and the ones separated by comma are dependent on how much rep you already have with the person. The companions that can be light/dark will like different things. As of right now courting only works on a romance-able target. Since men can not romance men at this time it will give 0 affection. If a woman does it usually it's 50/50 as it would be in normal life. As you gain rep with them they like it more.

That link above is *great* Even though I've been using the spreadsheet so far, I think I prefer this one - it's simpler, and the explanation of ranked gifts is very good to know.

As for romancing - I personally can't wait to be able to court Andronikus Revel - he's already interested. Mister "miss me, huh?"

He's about the only one I'm interested in as a Sith Inquisitor, however. :)
