Padawan Trials Guide

Pass these 16 trials to earn your Padawan rank — the first step to wielding a lightsaber in SWG Infinity.

Prerequisites

Before You Begin

You become eligible to attempt your Padawan trials once you have defeated Melichae.

You start by kneeling at a shrine and using the radial menu to meditate. It will then give you your first trial. These trials will be given to you in a random order (not the order they are listed here). Pay close attention — if you fail 3 trials you will have to start over from the beginning.

Next Steps

The Road to Jedi Knight

Padawan status is the foundation. From here the path to Jedi Knight opens up, but it is not short. You will need to accumulate Jedi XP through Force-using combat, train up through the Jedi skills you decide to learn. Once you have gained enough Jedi skills you will be given the choice to face the Knight Trials. You do not have to start them right away — it is a good idea to finish learning all your Jedi skills first.

As a Padawan you are now at risk of being reported to the Empire as a Force-sensitive Jedi. You will not appear on the Bounty Hunter terminals unless you gain visibility. Visibility is gained by using Force to do anything within 32m of a humanoid NPC, a humanoid vendor, or a player that is not grouped with you.

To avoid visibility, focus on killing animal (non-humanoid) mobs and only using Force around players that are in a group with you.
