The following is a list of flashpoints currently in game, with their general locations and levels required to enter.

 

Flashpoint quests can be acquired either at your respective Fleet or at level-appropriate quest hubs (given by flashpoint courier droids). Note that if a quest hub has flashpoint quests, it will also have a Fleet shuttle available (so you don't have to use your Emergency Fleet Pass or run back to the spaceport and fly to the Fleet on your own).

 

If a similar list is stickied somewhere, I apologize, but I haven't seen one on this forum.

 

If you see any errors in this list, please note them so I can edit my post.

For sticky

Thanks a bunch for putting this together, really helpful!

Please change the blue - it's almost impossible to read. Otherwise, thanks

What are the requirements to start some of these Hard Flashpoints?

 

I have the quest to do Hard Boarding Party, but I have not yet done it because I haven't been able to find a full party of people who are eligible to do it.

Didnt the patch contain a new Fp as well? Shouldnt that be added? cant remember the name though or if it has a hardmode as only 38.

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question or not but...I've seen elsewhere on the forums that an easy way to get orange gear is to go back to a low FP like Esseles and solo it as a higher level but haven't really seen anything more about soloing FP's other than that.

 

I have the quest for Esseles on my level 14 Sentinal but the entrance to it is still red (I'm assuming because it wants me to be in a group?). So far I've been soloing my way through the game and am happy to continue to do so for the time being, so I'd like to know if it's possible to enter Esseles by myself and if i can, if it's even possible to solo it right now or if it's going to be too hard at my current level and I should just wait or try to find a group.

 

Any further info on requirements for entering FP's and the feasibility of soloing them is appreciated, thanks.

1. Yes, flashpoints can be solo'd.

2. Practically speaking, I have found you need to be about 7-10 levels above the listed level of the flashpoint in order to do it without much difficulty. It varies a bit since some fp's are harder than others, or more suited to certain class/specs for soloing purposes than others.

3. In light of #2, I don't think it would be possible for a lvl 14 to solo Esseles.

4. You can *attempt* to solo any flashpoint you can validly enter; if you are lvl 14 you certainly should be able to enter Esseles solo if you want. If the entrance is red, then there is some other reason for that. Last time you did Esseles, did you start it in a group but not finish it? If so, you may need to abandon it and re-get the quest.

5. Soloing lower level instances as a high level char is a very good and easy way to get orange gear. It is also an easy way to get orange gear for your companions. Then it's just a matter of getting your hands on appropriate-level mods and switching out all the mods.

I could get into Esselles at level 10. You do have to pick up the quest from the guy standing outside the instance. Other than that, I'm not sure why you couldn't zone in.

Thanks for the info, I haven't done Esseles at all yet but maybe I missed something like this:

I just know I have a quest with Esseles in the title...perhaps I didn't look at it close enough, I'll double check it and, likely wait a few more levels before entering by myself. Thanks!

Great list. My only piece of advice is that... the blue font is really hard to read against the navy background of the forums. Perhaps you could change the Republic flashpoints into cyan font color instead of blue.

Pretty sure you have to have done the regularmode first.

Please update some constraints like you need to finish Taral V before you can do Mailstrom. Is good to know because people wonder why they cannot enter the Maelstrom instance and then they are looking for the NPC giver which cannot be found.

Thanks, really help me!

Flash point entrances are a purplish red, not green is that what you see? Try walking thru.

Great list!

Thanks for the list, I wish I'd seen it ages ago! Totally bookmarked now.

 

I'm a lvl50 Sith Assassin and I managed to solo 1-7 in normal mode with no problems with Khem Val as my sidekick. Couldn't solo Colicoid Wargame as you need multiple people for the turrets at the start and the shield section later on. Tried to do Red Reaper but got my *** kicked from the start. Could probably get further with stealth and brute force but I thought that would take the fun out of it. Going to do Red Reaper and the rest of the list as a group. Thanks again, very useful post

I solo-ed 1b easily at level 18. Now I'm lvl 24 and will give Hammer Station a try. But in general the ~7-8 lvl above the required seems like a fair assessment for solo.

Which flashpoint is the one with those zombies looking ones

Great necro! This list is 2 years old, and very out-of-date. Move along, nothing to see here.

Both 1a and 1b can be soloed if you're around level 12 and your char has a healing ability. I managed to do the Black Talon with a lvl 11 Concealment Operative and lvl 13 Lightning Sorcerer. The trick is to switch aggro between your toon and your companion and heal in-between.

Keep in mind that while Esseles can be easily soloed if you are a number of levels over the requirement, the bonus boss can only be activated if there are at least two of you as two panels far apart have to be activated at the same time to trigger the boss.

That needed to be changed since the start , seeing IMP side bonus boss only needs one person to call him . Just always bothered me they way they did that

I suspect the OP is not active anymore, but that list is in need of some serious updating. Amongst other things, there are hardmodes for the "neutral" FPs now (Hammer Station, Athiss, etc.). Plus there are a bunch of new FPs, not the least of them being the various "Tactical" FPs (like Kuat Drive Yards).

Thank You so much. Now I'm not so confused lol
