TheFenux Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) Unless I'm missing something, the only way to gain influence with him is via the gifts from Galactic Seasons, crew skill missions (which barely counts as it will take forever) and maybe the Commander's Compendium that I haven't tried yet. Will there ever be another way or is he doomed to be worthless on all of my many alts? [update] I had a spare Commander's Compendium sitting in a character inventory, so I tried it. it does in fact work and gives the achievement for level 50.

TheFenux Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 I finally found the vendor that sells gifts for him. Looks like it'll cost 5,650,000 credits to get him to 50 buying gifts there. (12 of the gold ones and 1 blue one). The vendor is the <Classic and Non-Seasonal Rewards> in Supplies, inner ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's cheaper to buy the Commander's Compendium (4.25 million), especially if you have the Dark Projects lying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xordevoreaux Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) He's the least alt-friendly companion ever invented. Edited April 29, 2021 by xordevoreaux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilrenna Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 They should have thought this one through better. At the very least, they could have allowed the alts in our legacy to get the same comp gifts from the GS as our main so we can level him up on alts the exact same way we do on our mains. This game could stand to take a page out of GW2's playbook and make everything alt and account friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saeten Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) Same ol' Same ol'. Nothing special. Weak *** companion. sucks at healing. leveled to 50.

So, using him for now to do the insectoid dailies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RameiArashi Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 The only reason to have him on more than one character is that it might be easier to find insectoids on different planets on Pub and Empire on others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example: Tatooine, where the only insectoids I know of are the Geonosians in the north part of Jundland, which is full of vomit-inducing self-righeous Republic lapdogs. As it were.

Hrafnhildur Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Does he have any unique powers, or is he just another generic companion with same old same old? I haven't played all classes, but honestly i doubt there's something special about Altuur, except that visual effect while healing. Besides, my highest level character, a Jedi Consular, has not one but two sniper companions already, so why would i need a third ( Altuur) ? Plus the fact that is way easier to add rank on the class companions . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranadiel_Marius Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Does he have any unique powers, or is he just another generic companion with same old same old? He has unique abilities in each of the three stances. The primary uniqueness is that each stance has an ability that causes enemies to take 10% more damage from all sources for 10 seconds on a 12 second cooldown. Each stance has some additional ability that triggers off of that. For example, in healing stance he heals (and cleanses although that isn't in the description) whenever you hit a targeted enemy. In DPS stance, he can use his "finisher" on a creature under the effects of his targeting ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_carton Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) His targeting ability can effectively determine the targeting priority for the player character. I noticed that it is not always the optimal order. Edited May 10, 2021 by mike_carton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, even with his unique abilities, the Galactic Seasons grind for rank levels is not justified. And one more thing, Altuur has no character development whatsoever, you basically know nothing about him. I know, some will say "whatever, as long as he can heal". Well, for me "whatever" is not good enough, since all your other companions have a story, or at least you find out some details about their lives before they joined you.

SavantDreadtech Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 As a companion, I would only use him on the one character that got his influance gifts. Then only as a comp to send off on crew missions. I am all for new companions so we are not all runing around with the same one. It's nice to have the option. Just hope that any other comps are more to what I personally want to use in-game. If not then just do the same next time as well. Overall I OK with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRKMSN Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Example: Tatooine, where the only insectoids I know of are the Geonosians in the north part of Jundland, which is full of vomit-inducing self-righeous Republic lapdogs. As it were. There's a camp of Geonsians out in the Dune Sea that has a champion as well. But their respawn timer seems a little longer than the N. Jundland area. I just want to remind people that you can also gain influence with comps by doing the bonus objective in Star Fortress. At 600 influence per, it would still take a long time. But if you are doing those anyway for conquest or whatever, then you might as well get what you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchnellesWiesel Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I've checked said vendor today, and it costs Token rather than credits. They only cost credits with an unlock in legacy. FAQ I got Altuur zok Adon to Rank 50 Influence on my main character, but what about leveling him on other characters? Once you have reached Rank 50 Influence with Altuur zok Adon, you will unlock a new Legacy Unlock that allows you to purchase Altuur’s companion gifts with Credits. Visit Jaleit Nall, located in the Galactic Seasons alcove on the Fleet to purchase the gifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrafnhildur Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 They only cost credits with an unlock in legacy. Let me guess, the legacy unlock has 3 tiers and each of them costs 2million credits or more? And the gifts for Altuur, is their price the same as the gifts for other companions? Sorry, but i still don't think is worth it! First of all, the insane grind - every day the same thing, starfighter or warzone, reroll changes one for another. Then this legacy unlock, no other companion requires that. So why bother? Why not just feed ..Mako or Tharan Cedrax or Corso Riggs gifts till rank 50 and be done with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTricicolo Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) He never shuts up! By far the worst companion and he even looks ugly. Even If I level him to 50 I'll still never use peni$ face.

What a mistake that was!! Now, I have him to influence 49 and am unable to get to 50 because you need to use ALL gifts from the seasons rewards on ONE single character?!?!? I found Ki'at Thavo on fleet who sells his gifts for season tokens. BUT I cannot buy the gifts because "You do not meet the requirements to purchase this item." What the hell BW, how am I supposed to get him to 50 then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
