SWTOR Ziost Daily Area Guide

Learn how to access the Daily area on Ziost in SWTOR, how to complete all daily and weekly missions, find out what rewards await you, and see how to unlock all achievements.

How to access the Daily Area

Ziost is located in the Seat of the Empire region. To access its Daily Area, you must complete the Main Story Ark on Ziost, which takes place after the events on Rishi and Yavin 4 from the Shadow of Revan expansion.

The mission should be available once you reach level 60 at the terminal in your personal ship.

Once you complete the story – it should take you no more than 45-60 minutes or even less if you rush it (don’t, it’s good!) – you will be able to travel down to the now-dead planet and complete all the daily missions as well as pick up all the achievements.

Daily Mission Walkthroughs

There are five daily missions and one weekly. There is also one Operation (group) weekly mission, Heart of Ruin, which requires you to defeat the Colossal Monolith and Worldbreaker Monolith on Ziost.

Three of the dailies are available at the camp, next to the landing pad, another two are given via datapads you will pick up while exploring the planet.

[WEEKLY] Daily Area: Ziost

The weekly mission requires you to complete all daily missions. It is available for pick up at the Mission Terminal in the starting area.

Death of a World

Death of a World is available in the starting area. Pick it up from a datapad, next to a broken droid.

To complete this one, you have to check the 5 locations marked on your map, go to them and look in the direction they are telling you to with the microbinoculars.

Once in position, just click the microbinoculars icon next to the mission objective in your Mission Tracker.

All 5 objects are clearly visible and some of them you can even spot from multiple distances, no need to stay exactly on top of the marker.

Looking for Signs

Looking for Signs is available at the starting area. Click on the Crashed Orbital Recon Probe Droid. It is also found on the Mission Terminal.

You need to find various crashed orbital recon probes around Ziost and loot their Memory Cores.

Some times a normal Recon Probe droid will spawn and you have to defeat it to loot its Memory Core. Rarely, a special named Droid will spawn.

These are part of a hidden achievement. More on that in the Achievements section of the guide. The nodes respawn quick enough if the area is heavily populated with other players.

From Ashes

From Ashes is available on the mission terminal in the starting area.

Find and scan as many corpses as needed until you have enough data. Not every scan will yield results to progress the mission.

Eyes into the Past

To start Eyes into the Past, you need to pick up a Datapad. The entrance to the instanced area is right next to the Datapad.

You can progress From Ashes too while inside the instance. Once inside, head left and find the Hr-02 Omni Droid. Next to it on the table there is a Droid Power Cell (more of these are scattered all around the area too).

Pick up the Power Cell, then click on the Droid to activate it. Now go to the locations I have shown you in the images below to discover ancient secrets about the Sith in the ruins nearby

When you find all 5, head to the marked area on the map and click on the terminal (you will have to kill the droid that is guarding it first). This completes the mission.

Dead Pulse

Dead Pulse is the second mission available from a datapad. It’s located in the southwest end of the Daily Area.

Once you get the mission, you need to pick up the nearby speeder and follow the green arrows in a timely fashion until you reach the broken bridge all the way into the north-east corner of the area.

The speeder will then self-destroy and you will dismount automatically. While on the speeder, you can take a left turn and jump over the Davastator Monolith to earn another hidden achievement. More on that in the Achievements section below.

Mission Rewards

Although the Daily Area was created many years ago, the developers have done a good job keeping things updated and organized so that you can always find value in farming Yavin 4 dailies.

Below is the full table of rewards for each type of mission based on your current level:

Icon	Item Name	Requirements
	Experience Points	Under Level Cap
	Credits	–
	Tech Fragments	At Level Cap
	Conquest Commendations	At Level Cap
	Ziost Memory Holograph (Vendor Token)	All Missions
	Gear Chest (Choice 1 of 2)	Weekly, At Level Cap
	FP-1 Stabilizer (Gear Currency) (Choice 1 of 2)	Weekly, At Level Cap

Reputation

Ziost does not feature a Reputation Track.

Vendors

The vendors for Ziost are all located on the GSI Orbital Station. They offer various items in exchange for Credits and Ziost Memory Holograph tokens.

Teeana offers a mount and two decorations. Denth is the star of the… Orbital Station. His offerings include ten full armor sets for all combat styles and disciplines for level 60. Ziost used to be a level 60 endgame daily area when it first came out.

At this stage of the game, the armor sets’ included mods are not optimal and you will out-level them very quickly.

The biggest value the sets bring, are the ear and implants, which are more rare to obtain outside of crafting while leveling. And, of course, the visual appearance of each set, despite all of them showing their age. They were all developed and added to the game years ago.

Armor Set Type 1

The following armor sets look identically. They all have mods for level 60 with no set bonuses:

• Citadel Boltblaster MK-2
• Citadel Demolisher MK-2
• Citadel Med-Tech MK-2

Armor Set Type 2

Decorations

The Decorations are available for purchase from Teeana, the Ziost Heritage Vendor.

Achievements

The Achievements for Ziost are not located in the Daily Area section in your Legacy window. They are under Location ► Ziost.

This results in the achievement for the daily area being mixed with the achievements from the story on Ziost, preceding the daily area. The achievements are structured in three categories: Daily Bosses, Missions, and General.

There are three hidden achievements in the Daily Area.You can easily earn two of them while doing your Solo Missions.

The other Hidden achievements, listed in the table below, are part of the story and you will not have too much trouble unlocking them all.

Network Outage (Hidden Achievement)

To gain this achievement, you need to spawn and kill 4 special Droids with unique names. This can be done during the Looking for Signs Daily Mission.

Most of the time a normal Recon Probe will spawn, but when one of the special-named ones spawns, it will grant you the appropriate individual hidden achievement for each Probe.

Taking out all four, will reward you with the meta hidden achievement, Network Outage, and a new Legacy Title: Surveilance Smasher. Here are the names of the Recon Probes:

• X-R37T
• X-361D
• X-662J
• X-124D

They spawn randomly some times instead of the normal ones. Don’t pick up the Memory Cores from the  regular Probes until you finish the achievement or you will complete the Daily Mission.

You are not able to click and spawn a probe unless you have the mission active. The locations, as I said previously, are all around the Daily Area. The nodes respawn quick.

Ziost Archivist (Hidden Achievement)

Completing this one will grant you 2 Galactic History Lore Updates – Numbers 94 and 95.

Galactic History 94: The Sacking of Coruscant

Go to the north-west section of the map, find the destroyed Walker and click on the Exposed Walker Wiring.

After the Walker fires a shot, a new Holocron will be revealed. Click it to earn the Galactic History 94.

Galactic History 94: The Sacking of Coruscant

The rise of the Sith Empire seemed unstoppable, The Republic had suffered vast losses; many worlds were even rebelling to save themselves. So when the Sith Empire suddenly offered to discuss a peace treaty, the Galactic Senate was suspicious—but the Supreme Chancellor could not ignore a chance to end the war.

Delegations from both sides travelled to Alderaan, but in a daring strike, the Empire attacked Coruscant and held the planet hostage. The Supreme Chancellor was forced to sign the Treaty of Coruscant dictated by the Empire, ending hostilities and handing over several apparently insignificant planets.

Many Sith, including Darth Malgus, were furious. They had believed the treaty was a cunning ruse; it made no sense to actually agree to peace. Many in the Republic, too, believed the treaty was only a delaying tactic before the killing blow. The Treaty of Coruscant had been signed; whether the peace would be kept was a different matter.

Galactic History 95: A Cold War Begins

This is a bit longer. You need to find two pieces of data:

The first one is located in the northeast corner of the area, inside the hut.

The second is down in the southeast corner of the area inside an open container.

Once you pick them up (in any order you wish), go to the building in the back of the base camp and click on the inactive droid to receive the Galactic History 95 Lore Update and with this you will also complete the Ziost Activist Achievement.

Galactic History 95: A Cold War Begins

With the Treaty of Coruscant signed, the war was officially over. But recalling vast armies took time. Meanwhile, many individuals on both sides either didn’t believe the treaty was real, or refused to accept it. Skirmishes continued for months, including a bombing attack on the Senate tower.

The Republic had earned a reprieve. Although the war had crippled its military, the Republic quietly poured resources into training small but elite Special Forces squads, Blamed in part for not preventing the Sacking of Coruscant, the Jedi Order left for its ancient homeworld, Tython. There, in secret, the order could rebuild.

With its resources no longer stretched by galactic conquest, the Sith Empire began to secure its new holdings, its citizens jubilant at their victory. However, questions still lingered about why the Empire had not destroyed the Republic when it had the chance, The galaxy settled into an uncertain peace, with both sides watching for any betrayal,

Jump the Rock Shark (Hidden Achievement)

For this one, you will need to have the Dead Pulse Daily Mission active. There is a Devastator Monolith that spawns from a cave in the most southwestern corner of the map and walks very slowly around the western alley.

The creature seems to only start moving when there are players nearby. Otherwise, it stops and waits.

You can mount up on the speeder provided for that quest near the cave.

Time it well and have the creature positioned near the marked spot on the map I have shown you below and simply drive through the cliff, it will automatically jump over the Monolith and grant you the achievement.
