Iokath Story - Level 70
Alright so, if you're like me - A level 70 char who can't be arsed to play through all of kotet for the 3rd or 4th time - and still want to access Iokath but are confused as to how to do it, here's how:
Head to your ship and activate the mission console
When I asked my guildmates at first about this, they just said to click a button in the top right corner of my screen,
this however, won't be available until you complete Kotet. That's why the mission console is a good way to access the Iokath story without going through all the kotet chapters. The only problem with doing this of course, will be that some things are auto-assumed, same way if you skip all of Fallen Empire and jump right into Kotet.[/color]
Hope this helped.
ps. Iokath's story is kind of like Oricon. It ends in an operation, so while there's still a lot of players around, please do the story before the planet turns dead.
Another neat thing about Iokath, if you can be bothered to grind:
Mouse droid terminal - 5k and 75 shards - turns your player into a mouse droid. If the droid dies, your character doesn't so you're relatively safe. Mounted turret - Haven't tried this one yet, but its 10k and 150 shards. I assume it'll allow you to control a heavy turret. Walker - 20k, 600 shards. And yes this has to be paid each time you want to use one. If the walker dies, the player pops out and is likely to die as well, assuming you used it to attack the enemy base. Switching instances or leaving the planet will remove the walker. Iokath probe - About the same cost as the mouse droid, and turns the player into an Iokath probe. Same stuff as the mouse.
Hope this helped some of you who were wondering about this
