This index is a list of fansites, blogs, podcasts, communities and more for Star Wars: The Old Republic. I started putting this list together as part of my own research into the MMO, but decided to share it in the hopes of getting even more resources included.
If you’ve got the name of a site or a link you’d like to share, either post it in the comments or email me at gazimoff@manaobscura.com and I’ll make sure it gets added to the list. I’d also like to add pages that are particularly useful guides as well, so feel free to suggest single posts too!
Finally, if something’s been mislabled or miscategorised, or the description of the resource is just plain wrong then let me know and I’ll update it.
SWTOR Guides
Feel free to suggest some! All topics considered – crafting, companions, flashpoints, operations, classes, advanced classes, crew skills – anything you like! Bonus points if it’s something unique that isn’t covered elsewhere.
