We still have a couple of months until The Old Republic is out. While many of us are occupied watching countless gameplay videos and reading crafting and class stuff as much as possible, some are busy with writing player guides which will help you learn the details of that, and more. One of those are the writers behind Killerguides, a publisher with experience in writing guides for over 20 different online games. We got a deal with them helping you score a few free copies of their SWTOR strategy guide once it’s released, so read on to find out what you’re getting and how.
Killerguides is still working on polishing this guide and it’s not ready to be released just yet, but you can already preorder it early and ensure you don’t miss out on this opportunity. SWTOR game preorders have now reached over 700,000 in US alone, so no doubt someone is interested in some detailed non-official information straight from beta testers who have had the chance to test the game top to bottom. I haven’t been able to read this guide just yet, but I did check out strategy guides for several other MMORPGs from the same publisher and I can say they are quite worth it.
There’s a lot of content planned for this strategy guide, and most importantly it will include a leveling guide to help you reduce those 200+ required hours of gameplay to reach the level cap to much less. A leveling guide for Star Wars: The Old Republic is definitely most helpful and will show you how to complete missions quickly by giving you their overview, descriptions, locations and more. Class-related missions will also be covered, and there are plenty of them for sure. Those are the ones you don’t want to miss as they usually give the best equipment, lightsabers, companions and even ships.
There’s also information on all available classes in this SWTOR strategy guide: we do our best to provide you with as much information as possible right here on this site, but it will probably never be as comprehensive as this premium guide. It’ll include class strategies, group tactics, abilities, skill tree builds, crew skill recommendations, info on companions, PvP tips, equipment recommendations and more. Basically, an all-in-one reference to your favorite class which you can fire up whenever you want and find out everything you need to know without having to search for it on different fansites. You could even fire it up on your iPad for ultimate coolness.
Crew skills are also covered, giving you an overview of all crafting, gathering and mission skills from someone who actually tried them all. You’ll get plenty of info on all aspects of professions, such as where to learn them, how to level them up, how to easily gain materials, which companions to take to increase your crew skills stats, etc. It’s also intermingled with a guide on making credits, which will teach you exactly how to make the most money out of all this. The credit making guide is actually quite comprehensive and goes well beyond crew skills, as all aspects of credit making are covered, whether you prefer flipping items on the auction house, grinding, doing missions, flashpoints, or something else.
Considering Killerguides has authors who are professional gamers and have the experience necessary to compile a guide like this, it will no doubt be a success. The guide is currently scheduled for release on the same date as SWTOR itself, but as I previously mentioned you can pre-order and secure your copy in advance: the guide is scheduled for release on the same day as the game, December 20: perfect. There’s also a huge number of other SWTOR guides they offer so I really suggest you at least check out what they have to offer.

it has to be awesome because its the best guide of the best game ever, nothing else to say !!!!!
I need one because….I still haven’t hit max level in WoW…..7 years later….and I have no alts!
These guides look awesome. Followed the links to more guides and the list looks awesome. Don’t get too overwhelmed by the selection though, they have guides for every advanced class or a combination of them into a class guide for slightly more. And how awesome is it they offer lifetime updates for every product you order? All in all, it seems like they have their head on straight and their customer support is over the top.
This guide will be awesome because already i assume they will have access to the beta, or if associated with this site will have 2nd hand knowledge. Having the knowledge of classes, crew skills, game mechanics makes any guide better than some cookie cutter guide since killerguides have real gamers as authors. Having this guide on lauch would help shoot anybody to the top of whatever class they wanted to play. And I get, I don’t have a problem with give tips here and there to the less knowledgeable players so if I do have to group with them later, there will be no raging at how bad they are playing .
The strategy guide will be awesome, because it will give you the chance to get faster where you want in lvling and also to choose the right skills you really need.
This guide will be awesome because of the reason!
I think it will be awesome because there always are, much more informative than ones like bradygames
This guide will be awesome because it’s for Star Wars The Old Republic
The guide will be awesome because it’s written by the people, for the people plus I’m getting it free. What can be better than free?
The guide will be awesome for the info on crew skills alone. Hopefully the information stays useful for a little while at least seeing as things change in mmos very fast.
I’ve constantly been behind in terms of MMO’s, like WoW and RIFT, and I believe this guide will give me the opportunity to get ahead once and for all and stay there. I have always been a lesser player when it comes to leveling, getting money, and getting gear and therefore have never been able to optimize my enjoyment of the games. I really want this to change, therefore I think this guide would be awesome to help me get ahead of the pack and increase my enjoyment of the game. I will probably buy a Killerguide for SW:TOR anyway, but this opportunity seemed too good to pass up. Thanks guys!
This guide is awsome. Because it will give u an advantage from experienced players. Dont get me wrong, im not a noob when it comes to MMO’s, i played wow for like 4-5 years. But when it comes down to number crunching and lvling, i just follow the most obvious path they give me, go from there to there. This guide will help me level faster, get a decent proffesion and the locations to make money. It will help me be a better TOR-player. And ofcourse help me in my pvp/ganking.
DEATH TO THE REPUBLIC.
This looks like it Gould be awesome hope I get one can’t wait for the game to come out
the killer guide is guilder like, two heads are better than nONE lol
It’s going to be cool because we waited for this game a lot and in it we find out a lot cool things. (hopes to win)
What makes these guides awsome is itthey are done by a group of people that covers everything you need to know and they work so hard to make sure it is all there and takes reeally a lot of pride in being accurate with the information they provide. They make things so easy to access to get the information you need when you need it. What else can you really say other than the fact that these guides are going to be awsome everyone needs a set.
This Guide will be awesome because… it’s a guide for an awesome game, it has to be good!
Killerguides has an amazing reputation amongst the MMORPG community, it will be awesome as its authors, support, and research team have some of the best experience in the business. The in depth guide we can expect will enrich our gaming experience tenfold, in such a way that we will be able to be on the top of our game. The guide will be awesome because it will give us in depth look at not only PvP but PvE spec’ing, ways to level up and complete side stories and make the best use of our companions as we learn how the system works. In essence the guide is a teacher, a friend to rely on, a pillar of information that we can tap into and understand the game and therefore make full use of its true awesome-ness.
SW:TOR will be awesome. Killerguides has been awesome.
The SW:TOR KillerGuide is AWESOME!
Why do i think this guide will be awesome?!
1) Its made by Killerguides…Only the masters of MMO guides. Need i say more?
2) Its about SW:TOR. What is a better game to have a totally killer guide about than SW:TOR. A killer guide for a killer game? I THINK YES!!!
3) Re-read the last 2 points. Ponder. Come to realization that these guides WILL BE AWESOME!!!
S – Strategy-filled
W – Wants to increase our gameplay experience
T – Teaches us how to become a better gamer
O – Overwhelms us with detailed knowledge of ingame mechanics
R – Rated highly amongst the MMORPG world.
Killerguides is SWTOR. This combination is Awesome!
I know a guide where the strategists share,
Where PvP and the PvE find epics and rares,
Quite over-powered with detailed tips,
With leet understanding and with knowledge it drips.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream Quote. Act ii. Scene.1
A KillerGuide Modified Shakespeare.
Awesome? Definitely.
Why? Re-read.
There was a guide called Killer, his father was a miller, he showed the way from night till day from breakfast through till dinner.
When Killer slept he dreamt of games, strategies, epics, and in-game fame, until on day, that fateful day, when he was taken to be published.
His knowledge, ideas and gold-mine of tips ended him up on sites like this. The whole world could see his brilliance, so much so he was called the Prince. The Prince of guides, to rule them all… wait wrong story. The Prince of Guides, the one that prides itself on turning battles tides.
But in time his strategies became legend, his guides became our friend, until that time of Star Wars Galaxies when it saw the end. Alack no, there was a new Galaxy, a new star, a new hope.
SW:TOR, with more followers than Thor, louder than the roar, of a boar, or a goat. I’m on a boat.
Killer, now matured, saw this challenge. Equations began formulating, Companions began copulating, they felt the aura of Killer, Killing. While Killer killed, he would guide his followers and companions through the levels to gain coins, completing quests, and many flashpoints.
<3 Killerguides XOXOXO
And if you think KillerGuides is a joke, this guide will use the force to choke the non-believers to their place in MMO graves while we continue the race. A race to become the best in the land, a feat only comparable to the Wu tang clan.
Can i has free?
Why will these guides be awesome? Well all the other guides Killer Guides has made are awesome and this shouldn’t be any different. Hook a gimp up with some free stuff, could use a hand considering I lack both of them.
I think this will be awesome because it has details for crafting and other specific things. As a fulltime college student with a weekend job my playing time will be pretty limited, so this information will be very useful. Also, as the type of person that plans and pays attention to detail the information in this guide will be very beneficial.
This Guide will be Awesome, because it will greatly aid my Smuggler in escaping Tatooine while being hunted down simultaneously by a Hutt Crime Lord who is short a load of spice, a Tuskan Raiding Party missing a ancient artifact, a Sith Lord with anger issues, and a moisture Farmer with a broken hearted daughter. Just don’t rat me out while I hide out in my safe house in Mos Eisley…
I work 60+ hours a week. With Killer guides I’ll be able to keep up with the rest of my friends who have more free time to level slowly. Even though I’ll play less, we can still party up. The force is strong with this guide.
Killerguides make the best guides out there, they know MMOs ,so Im happy to learn from them, As I work full time its so much better to have all info available at hand, so you can use the time you have in game in the best way. Achieve and have fun, its Win, Win Solution
Awesome?
Simple … it has the following words on the cover:
Star Wars The Old Republic!
’nuff said …
thx all!! looking forward to downloading the guide! counting down the days till 20th december
Killerguides have helped me alot before and im sure it will again
This guide will be awesome because it will help my Sith take over the Old Republic. Muhahaha.
I think it would be great to have because one its Star Wars and two, this being the first time people are getting a chance to play the new MMO so they are going to want to know everything there is in order to be the best player they can be.
Starwars has always been a classic and this guide will consistently make be one with the classic!
May the Force be with us all!
The SWTOR killer guides are not currently worth their cost.
Their class role is incomplete for the more nuance information (i.e. the fact that an assassin can be an effective tank isn’t in their general guide).
They are not up to date with their information (biochem still points to Underworld Trading instead of Diplomacy, armstech is still Treasure Hunting instead of investigation).
The strategy guide will be awesome because it gives us the chance to know everything about the game before everyone else. Also lets us help our friends that have trouble. Everything a strategy guide weather its AHing, pvping or killing bad guys.
Guide will be awesome becouse it will organize all the elements needed to become a real badass.
i’ve used killerguides playing world of warcraft . its awesome..
Its KILLER
I think this guide is awesome becuse it covers everything in the whole game and thats amazing becuse its a huge game!
The game is so huge with fantastic intricate details, some many classes to choose from within classes there is perks to choose from depending whether you are playing solo or in a group. The size of the game has left me speechless ranging from ground combat to space combat all which your character has access to, thats why the strategy guide is needed, I know I could do with it!!!.
I always appreciate a good strategy guide for games like SWTOR. These games are so complex and full of little details that a good strategy guide can easily save you dozens of hours of pointless thrashing about. Any player that likes to be efficient and effective in how they play MMOs will appreciate Killerguides. They have a great reputation and put out a consistently high quality product.
