Step 11 - 5.0 Update

Alrighty - BioWare decided to pull a few changes which you may (or not) like.  Here are the main ones I think are worth mentioning:

  • Now we are at a level cap of 70 - so grind that gear!  Recommend you read Dulfy's gearing guide here, very very important because gearing is very frustrating in 5.0.  RNGesus hates us all, took me 89 crates on my main to get a 1st raid armor piece, while on some toons got some in the 1st pack.  Patience Padawans, patience.
  • To level the quickest method is to get a group for Dread Palace and to go Bastia, kill the mobs of monsters & larva and when Bastia leaves her throne "stuck it".  Rinse & repeat
  • Uprisings are new group content, think of them as "small flashpoints", can give decent CXP
  • The Command menu (CTRL-G) is really useful to do stuff like the daily heroics have a CXP bonus mode (the one on the left) to help with the grind
  • PvP is now more relevant as 5.1 re-introduced comms to get gear, GSF is the one that usually give the most CXP.  
This guide is now update to 5.2.2, dig for nuggets of wisdom!
