  • When you are satisfied with the outfit, click on the "Confirm" button at the bottom of the screen to save the appearance of your outfit for this tab. To use this outfit, click "Apply" at the top of the window.
  • If you want to unlock more tabs, just click on the tab to the right of your character sheet and buy it with credits or cartel coins.
• Client performance improvements have been made for many gaming systems.
• A number of mounts have been converted to adaptable mounts and can be used regardless of your speeder piloting skill, their speed will increase depending on your skill. For the full list, see the list below.
