  • The armor pieces that are available inside of Ancient Armaments will also available as random world drops
• Galactic Trade Network (GTN)  Droid Legacy Unlock
  • A new Character Convenience unlock has been added to Legacy Perks! Once unlocked, players will be able to reach the GTN at any time without needing to travel to the Fleet, their personal ship, various planets or Strongholds!

There's quite a bit in this update, so be sure to read the full list of patch notes when they are on published on  March 11th! 

Lastly, while it's not necessarily tied to the 7.4.1 update itself, we did open up a few sections of the forums to players who have Preferred accounts. Going forward, any player who has a Preferred account can now create threads and post replies in the New Player Help, Introductions, and Bug Reports sub-forums. 

I'll be updating this thread as needed and will unlock it once 7.4.1 goes live. 

Thanks all! See you on Tuesday!
