SWTOR Level Cap | Star Wars: The Old Republic

The SWTOR Level Cap is basically the highest level you would need to get to in order to reach the endpoint of the game. At this moment, the SWTOR level cap is known to be level 50. Now, I personally think that this is a good idea as I believe this is less than I was expecting, particularly after WoW.

Sometimes, when you're trying to level and get through the game on your own, the grind and monotony of trudging through endless levels, especially when things get a little difficult, can suck the fun right out of the gameplay. I think 50 is just about okay, so that you can get through the levels and then check out the ops that they have in store beyond level 50.

Of course, a great way of getting an advantage and leveling quicker is by using a SWTOR Leveling Guide.

Jedi Knights and Jedi Consulars will begin their SWTOR adventures on Tython, the safe haven of the Jedi.

Smugglers and Troopers begin on Ord Mantell, the once beautiful planet which has been torn apart by a huge civil war and deep-seated corruption.

Sith Inquisitors and Sith Warriors begin on Korriban, the birthplace of the ancient Sith civilisation.

Bounty Hunters and Imperial Agents begin on Hutta, a place where the underworld still thrives and crime is ubiquitous.

At this point, players who have allegiance to the Republic faction will progress to Coruscant, the safe and prosperous capital of the Republic which is protected by the Jedi.

Sith Empire players will head over to Dromund Kass, the planet on which the Empire's capital - Kass City - is situated.

The next SWTOR planet is Balmorra, the manufacturing capital of the galaxy. Here, they specialise in manufacturing weapons and droids.

Nar Shaddaa is the next stop on your adventure, and is one of the most dangerous places across the galaxy. It has the big cities, bright lights and, beneath all that glitz and glamour, a dark, seedy underbelly of corruption.

The next levelling planet is Tatooine, which is effectively an independent planet made up of a vast desert that roasts under the heat of two suns.

From Tatooine, you will progress to Alderaan. This is an independent planet which still exhibits traces of the culture and beauty for which it was once known, before the wars and political conflicts. With greenery and mountain peaks, it will certainly be a different experience from Tatooine.

Nothing more than a post-apocalyptic swamp, Taris is the next levelling planet. It is now under the control of the Republic, which seeks to make it a military base, but the Empire will obviously have something to say about that!

Quesh is an interesting planet which is both dangerous and valuable all at the same time. As well as the poisonous and toxic atmosphere and swamps, it is the source of immeasurable wealth and as such both factions are battling for control.

Hoth is the next SWTOR leveling planet, a remote independent planet which is a frozen wasteland on the surface, but has a molten core which serves a useful purpose for mining. It is known as a ship graveyard as a lot of the most powerful starships were destroyed here during the Great War.

Belsavis is a Republic-controlled planet which is made up of both frozen wasteland and inhabitable temperate areas which have been created from the planet's volcanic activity.

This is a planet which was discovered accidentally but is now important to both factions. The Gormaks and Mystics inhabit this planet, the latter having very powerful and advanced abilities in harnessing the Force. This is why both sides seek an alliance with this race, but the Mystics view it in their best interests to stay out the bitter feud that both factions are embroiled in.

Corellia is well known for being one of the best commercial centres in the galaxy, and is under Republic control. For all its beauty and industry, there is an underlying corruption. This might be useful for players, though, as it means that you will be able to get whatever you want here.

This is the planet on which you will most likely hit level 50, the SWTOR level cap.

The planet Ilum is right on the edge of the galaxy which was abandoned until it was discovered by the Jedi as a source of Adegan crystals, useful for their lightsabers.

Well, Bioware says it's aware of this, and has plans for a SWTOR endgame. Once you get to the SWTOR Level cap 50, Bioware has created an open world PvP zone where players can fight one another.

It has also created its version of a standard MMO raid, called "Operations". In Operations, up to 16 players can join forces and fight together against what Bioware calls "the greatest threats in the galaxy". It even conducted a demo on something called the Eternity Vault, which is an ancient prison that holds an "enemy older than both the Republic and the Empire".

Excited? You should be!
