SWTOR: The Master’s Datacron

SWTOR Game Update 5.6 – A Traitor Among the Chiss launched on November 28th, introducing a revolutionary progression tool called the Master’s Datacron. This premium item fundamentally changes how players approach character advancement in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Unlike traditional leveling methods, this datacron provides immediate max-level status while deliberately preserving your character’s narrative journey intact.

The core innovation of the Master’s Datacron lies in its ability to elevate any sub-level 70 character directly to the current cap without advancing your personal story arc. This creates the perfect scenario for players who want to experience classic SWTOR storylines without worrying about combat difficulty or grinding through repetitive content. You maintain complete control over when and how you progress through each narrative chapter.

Each datacron purchase includes the Eternal Commander Equipment bundle, ensuring your newly boosted character receives a complete set of level-appropriate gear. This comprehensive package makes it equally valuable whether you’re creating a fresh level 1 character specifically for story immersion or preparing an alt character for immediate endgame activities with friends. The equipment automatically adapts to your chosen combat specialization.

Obtaining the Master’s Datacron involves two primary avenues with distinct advantages. The direct purchase method through the Cartel Market costs 2,000 Cartel Coins and provides instant access. Alternatively, savvy players can monitor the Galactic Trade Network where other players may list their datacrons, potentially at different price points based on market fluctuations.

Before acquisition, verify that you’re targeting the correct character for boosting, as the datacron cannot be applied to existing level 70 characters. This restriction prevents accidental usage on already-maxed characters and ensures the item provides its intended value. Transfer the datacron to your intended character’s inventory before activation.

Market timing significantly impacts availability and pricing on the GTN. During peak play periods or following major content updates, demand often increases, potentially raising prices. Conversely, during content lulls, you might find better deals from players liquidating their Cartel Market purchases.

The activation sequence begins by opening your acquired bundle, which grants two distinct items: the actual Master’s Datacron and the separate Eternal Commander Equipment container. When prepared to boost your character, right-click the datacron in your inventory—crucially ensuring it’s on the correct character—to initiate an eight-second casting sequence labeled “Promoting to level 70.”

Upon completion of the cast bar, the system presents two consecutive confirmation prompts emphasizing that this action cannot be reversed. Once confirmed, your screen transitions to white, teleporting you to your personal starship. If you haven’t naturally unlocked a ship through story progression, the datacron automatically provides one while preserving your ability to earn it normally later.

While aboard your vessel, check your mission log for the “Master’s Datacron” entry with the “Increasing level” description. Within moments, this mission auto-completes, officially elevating your character to level 70. The entire process typically completes in under 30 seconds from initial activation to level cap achievement.

Following successful level boosting, immediately access your Discipline interface using the default K key to select your class specialization. This critical step must be completed before accessing your gear, as the Eternal Commander Equipment container requires an active discipline selection to properly distribute appropriate itemization.

With your combat role established, return to your inventory and right-click the Equipment box to receive a complete gear set tailored to your chosen discipline. The system automatically detects whether you’ve selected a damage, healing, or tanking specialization and provides statistically optimized equipment accordingly.

The provided gear set represents solid entry-level equipment for current endgame content, though dedicated players will want to pursue higher-tier gear through operations and other challenging activities. Consider this your foundational gear for immediately participating in group content without additional preparation requirements.

Your character now stands ready at maximum level, fully equipped to explore the galaxy. All previously active missions remain in your log, allowing seamless continuation of storylines or exploration of new content. This flexibility makes the datacron ideal for players with specific gameplay objectives.

Common mistakes include activating the datacron on the wrong character or attempting to use it on already-max-level characters—both scenarios resulting in wasted resources. Always double-check your target character’s current level and identity before proceeding with the irreversible boosting process.

For optimal results, use the datacron on characters where you’ve already experienced the leveling process or specifically want to bypass it for endgame participation. The preservation of story progression means you lose nothing narratively while gaining immediate access to high-level game systems and group activities.
