Star Wars: The Old Republic: How to talk to your companions privately is a question many players are asking themselves. In this guide, we will show you how to talk to your companions privately and gain their trust. Before you begin, you should know how much influence they have. In addition, you should learn what their limitations are. This guide will also cover the various options that you have when talking with your companions.

Influence level of a companion

Every companion has an influence level that affects their combat skills and effectiveness. The higher the influence level, the more effective your companion is in battle and crafting. Companions with higher influence levels have increased time efficiency and an increased chance of getting rare materials. Influence also improves a companion’s presence and heals them more efficiently. Here are some tips to increase your companion’s influence level.

Giving gifts to your companion is one of the most common ways to raise their influence level. You can give them different gifts to make their lives easier or more enjoyable. Remember that each companion has their own likes and dislikes, so giving them something that they don’t like will not result in negative influence. In addition, gifts increase a companion’s influence by 30%. Giving a companion a present will increase their influence level.

Companions are useful during group quests. High-influenced companions can take on tough enemies. Companions can also fill special missions, particularly during Flashpoints. The role of a companion is changed depending on how far the storyline progresses. You can also assign them to a mission to use their special abilities. This will affect their influence level and the rewards they can get from completing the mission.

Controlling a companion in combat

A companion is a type of player character that helps you in combat and other tasks in SWTOR. Companions are earned through personal class storylines. The first companion will appear on your planet, near the end of your class storyline. To earn these companions, you must complete quests marked with purple icons. Companions can be level three or up, depending on the class you choose.

A companion can be switched between active and passive modes. When in passive mode, you can control your companion by setting the skill bar to “passive” and “active”. This mode will automatically activate your companion’s skills, but you can also manually trigger them. For example, if you want your companion to run, you can set it to “passive mode” and then toggle it back to active mode.

You can control two types of companions in Star Wars: The Old Republic and The Sith Lords. Controlling a companion lets you choose the side you want to play. You can play as a Jedi or a Sith. You can control a companion’s personality, or choose to befriend one of the many characters you can acquire. Depending on your personal preferences, you can make your companion’s appearance change and interact with other characters.

Limits of having a companion

If you’ve ever played a MMO, you’ve probably wondered what the limits are of having a companion. While they’re rare, Star Wars: The Old Republic does have companion NPCs. You can choose to let your companion follow you around or leave them to do mindless busy work. There are limits to how many companions a character can have, too.

Companion gear affects a companion’s combat skills. Each companion has an influence level, which can be seen on the Companions and Contacts window. This level represents the companion’s battle skill and usefulness for crafting and gathering. Companion gear will only make the companion more useful to you once their influence level is high enough. However, there are ways to raise the influence of your companion’s combat skills.

Companion AI can be frustrating, though. Companion AI can conflict with your own style of combat. Fortunately, you can toggle specific companion skills on and off, and if you don’t want your companion to use the skills automatically, you can disable this option in the companion’s skill bar. This allows you to maintain an advantage over other characters. As with all companions, your companion should be worth your time.
