My Knight Trials

Knight Trials:

Trial of Skill: 
Jedi are not just masters of battle, but also hold many diverse skills…
Attend ONE advanced class type (PvE, PvP, and RP)

Master Inttrigue had us meet her on Alderaan.We then began an adventurous journey through some insectoid lands, passing by an imperial outpost in search of some kind of elusive and valuable egg. Why it's valuable I have no idea, but it was indeed elusive. We never found one. Our journey ended at the rear end of Castle Planteer. Why we were trying to scale the wall like mountain goats still confuses me. At least the Alderaanian ale was of some recompense.

Acquire Level 300 in all three skill crew areas.
Now I know why we need to improve our skills in crafting. It is to show us how mind-numbingly boring it is. Ergo to appreciate, love and improve our combat skills. 

Trial of Courage: 
Even a Jedi needs to summon Courage to face the challenges that will certainly present themselves…
Have completed every non-heroic flashpoint up to level 40

I found this trial very interesting. Honing my combat skills in fighting with allies. I will give the Empire this. They are stubborn. Every time they try to take something over, there we are slapping them silly and taking it back. First was:
Hammer Station

Then off to Athiss, where some ancient dead guy...won't stay dead, so we fixed that for him.
Athiss
I had heard rumors that the Mandalorians were fearful opponents. So I was quite excited when I heard of their impetuous attack. In the end, they died and I was kinda let down.
Mandalorian Raiders

I only had one gripe about this mission. My team decided to not blow up the imperial fleet with the missiles. My head still hurts from all the times I've smacked my head over that stupid decision.
Cademimu
This mission showed me the reason why heavy armour isn't always the best option. The humidity of this planet is really bad. Was sweating like a bantha on Tattooine.
Taral V

There a few things as exciting as a prison break. And this was no exception. Of course meeting the (in)famous Revan was a bit of icing on the cake (after killing Kilran of course. That felt good, the arrogant..well corpse now)
Maelstrom Prison

Have defeated all major planetary world bosses (up to level 40)
This guy was u.g.l.y. and slow. Dude could really take a lightsaber to the knee quite well though. 
(Yes, that water was putrid and it took ages to clean my armour afterward.)
BOSS: Subject Alpha
LEVEL: 21
LOCATION: Taris

This was a more interesting fight since a Sith thought it would be funny to interfere with our attempts to exact revenge for the death of all those cute Jawas. So on this day we defeated Trapjaw and the bonus, a Sith.
BOSS: Trapjaw
LEVEL: 30
LOCATION: Tatooine

I think it must be a droid virus. First there was the problem on Coruscant, now here on Narshada. Still...outcome was the same. Spare parts anybody?
BOSS: Battledroid R4-GL
LEVEL: 32
LOCATION: Narshada

And another Droid going nuts. Must look into the possiblities of creating a self-destruct virus for these crazy droids. Would move things along quickly since this guys shields made it very slow going.
BOSS: Ulgo Siegebreaker
LEVEL: 35
LOCATION: Alderaan

Another droid. Seriously. I give up. I'm now yearning for flesh and blood opponents again. But then again, at least the droids don't monologue about how awesome they are and how feeble and pathetic our attempts at destroying them are.
BOSS: Rogue Cartel Warbot
LEVEL: 38
LOCATION: Quesh

Trial of the Spirit: 
Padawans have to look deep within their souls, on a quest of self-discovery.
Complete Act 2 of your story.

I only have one question at the end of this. Does the emperor bathe? Or does he wear those mummy rags all the time? At least I've got a Sith pureblood ally. That's bound to make the Masters on Tython squirm a bit. Haha, love that. Hey, Scourge, say "BOO"

Assemble one relic from acquired matrix shards at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant
Green goes there, then blue and finally a yellow! Wow, this is like being a youngling back on Tython!

Trial of the Flesh:
 All the Lightsaber trainings offered at the Temple cannot compare to the training received in battle…
Reach Valor Rank 30 (or recruit at least 2 new member to the guild, and complete an RP task for a Master)
This was by far, the most enjoyable part of my trials. Going into battle against the Empire. No more politics, no more talking, no more tip-toeing around that stupid Treaty of Courscant. See an Imp and shove my lightsaber into it!

Trial of Insight:
 A Jedi Knight learns that he is not responsible for his training alone, but for passing along that training and mentoring others…

Complete and post your Knight Trials and when approved request your Knight's Interview. 
  (Interview Panel must consist of at least 3 members that are High Council, Arbiter Council and/or the Grandmaster.

This will indeed be insightful...



Speak the Jedi Code at a Knighting ceremony as your final act to become a Jedi Knight.

You are now permitted take a (1) Padawan to mentor as your first act as a Jedi Knight. (and so become a "Sanctioned Master")
