HollyUSEC Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) I have one of each SH: Coruscant, Dromund Kaas, Tatooine, Nar Shaddaa, and Manaan. I do not want a Yavin IV Stronghold. I just don't. Please don't try to talk me into getting it. Is it possible to own more than one of the same type of Stronghold? My bonus is only 125% because I have five fully unlocked Strongholds instead of six, and my guild is unhappy because it means fewer guild conquest points. But, as I said, buying a Yavin IV Stronghold just isn't an option. It's a CAVE, for crying out loud. I don't want a dang cave. Do I have any alternative options? Or do I have to just tell my guild to grin and bear it? Edited June 23, 2018 by HollyUSEC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do I have to just tell my guild to grin and bear it? It is possible to *own* more than one of the same stronghold (I have two each of six of the seven and one of the other one), but it isn't possible to *buy* a second one of a type you already own. You have to have multiple legacies on the account (one per server, obviously) and then have those servers get merged together. You get to keep all the strongholds that you had. The merge process that happened last year did this for a lot of people, but there's no other way to have more than one Coruscant, for example, on a single legacy. There are seven different strongholds, not six, and soon there will be eight. The other two (that you didn't mention) are Umbara (exists now) and Rishi (coming soon). And while I won't try to persuade you to buy it, I *will* mention that the Yavin stronghold is far from just a *cave*. In fact, it *isn't* a cave at all. It's a temple and its grounds. UMBARA Run the Umbara flashpoint enough times to get 60 tokens at six per run in solo/story, 12 in Veteran, 24 in Master (caution: there's a limit of 50 tokens per week, and I believe the tokens are character-bound) and buy the invitation to the room where the Umbara stronghold terminal is hidden. All this is available on Odessen. RISHI Nobody knows yet how you go about buying the Rishi stronghold, but it's coming soon, I think in July.

I just finished decorating mine (took me about 1 1/2 years to get it where I wanted it for my Consular's temple of light). There is another one but that is a train and it will depend on how many times you want to do to get the currency to unlock the room the directory is in to buy it or you can wait for Rishi that is scheduled to be released sometimes in July.

All this is available on Odessen. RISHI Nobody knows yet how you go about buying the Rishi stronghold, but it's coming soon, I think in July. The tokens ARE character bound. You will have to spend two weeks running the Crisis on Umbara missions. I did it on story mode and it gets tedious, but you can do all of the bosses and get the tokens. The bonus boss drops 2, so always try to kill that Alpha Sylbex. They recently said they're trying to have Rishi available for the 5.9.2 update coming on July 31st (pending PTS). They are estimating it will be the same cost as Yavin, but from what the Twitch livestream said the hooks are equal or greater than a guildship. It's a HUGE stronghold, but not as much living space. Yavin is a temple complex made of stone. There actually IS a hidden cave, but the structure itself is meant to resemble more Mayan architecture and early pyramid architecture. It has smaller side rooms which might not be suitable as a living quarters, but it's quite a delight as you have room for ships FULL SIZE SHIPS, plus troops, and wide space to do anything and everything with.

Honestly, as a side note, while the 25% difference means fewer conquest points per each objective ANY guild shouldn't force you or make you feel forced into buying a stronghold JUST for conquest. If you don't want to buy a stronghold, then don't. Strongholds are credit sinks and vanity projects. I LOVE them, but they aren't mandatory and should never be mandatory. If you are contributing every week to Conquest, then they shouldn't get pissed off at you for that 25% difference, when you're already at 125%. If they can't respect your personal decisions and your time, because that many credits is both time and money, then find another guild. There are plenty who will respect you for what you are able to contribute and be respectful of your personal interests in the game.

I believe the Koth Shuttle deco is full-size, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberd Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 While I will not encourage you to buy Yavin, it is far from a cave.

I agree, far from "a cave". It is, IMO the best looking SH currently available. If you need decorating ideas check out mine on Jedi Covenant server, Isanía's Sith Academy. I hear the new Rishi SH is gong to have PvP areas, I would love to have such functionality in my Yavin, would make the academy much more realistic.
