A guide on obtaining the SWTOR Dreadseed and Star Forager armor sets with locations and maps of their Seeker Droid dig sites.

 General Information

Perquisites

Before you can acquire these two armor sets, you will need to complete [Heroic 4] The Alchemy of Evil/Uprooting the Last Seed, the last mission of the Seeker Droid questline. (If you have no clue what the Seeker Droid missions are all about, please consult this guide). During this heroic mission, you get to choose between taking the Dreadseed armor set or the Star Forager set. Unless you click on the altar after defeating Lord Tagriss, you will get the Star Forager set by default so make sure to click on the altar if you want the Dreadseed set.

Finishing this mission will reward you with the chest piece of the set and also allow you to dig other pieces of the set you chose in the four planets listed below. If you want to obtain pieces of the other armor set, you will need to do the Seeker Droid questline on a different character and pick a different choice. In other words, if you chose Dreadseed armor set, you can only dig up Dreadseed armor pieces using the seeker droids.

Digging Spots

Each planet have a minimum of 3 dig spots. Some of these dig spots can be depleted if you or someone else find the rare item in that dig spot. Once a dig spot is depleted, you can no longer use your Seeker Droid on that location and will need to either wait for it to respawn (can take a few hours) or move to another location. Dig spots are marked with a  treasure box icon in the air if you scan over them with your Macrobinoculars.

All of the digging spots in a planet will have a chance to yield the specific armor piece that planet contains. Each planet will contain two different armor pieces of the set.

• Alderaan: Chest and Bracers
• Tatooine: Gloves and Helmet
• Hoth: Belt and Boots
• Makeb: Belt and Legs.

Digging Tips

• Be prepared to spend many many hours digging for these pieces. This is not something you can dig up in 5 minutes (unless you get lucky).
• In addition to the armor pieces, you can find components for the GSI speeders, companion gifts, and reputation items so it is not a total waste of time.
• If you are looking for a digging site that can be depleted and it isn’t there, switch to another instance of the planet or use the other digging sites.

Dreadseed vs Star Forager

The difference between the two armor sets lies in their appearance, which is identical for both factions. You can see images of set below  (top set is Dreadseed, bottom set is Star Forager). Images of the complete set will be uploaded later.

The entire armor set is adaptive and bound to legacy.

SWTOR MCR-99 Droid Reconnaissance guide with location of MCR-99 droids to scan for the hidden exploration achievements. There is a pet reward that is sort of tied in with this achievement.

Navigation

• Alderaan – 6/6
• Balmorra (Empire) –6/6
• Balmorra (Republic) –6/6
• Belsavis – 6/6
• Corellia – 6/6
• Coruscant – 6/6
• Dromund Kaas – 6/6
• Hoth – 6/6
• Hutta – 3/3
• Ilum – 3/3
• Korriban –3/3
• Makeb – 6/6
• Nar Shaddaa – 6/6 
• Ord Mantell – 3/3
• Quesh – 3/3
• Taris (Empire) –6/6
• Taris (Republic)– 6/6
• Tatooine –6/6
• Tython –3/3
• Voss – 6/6

Rewards

Doing this hidden exploration achievement on all the planets will reward the 50 point achievement The Droids You’re Looking For under Locations –> General –> Macrobinoculars. Each planet’s Droid Reconnaissance achievement (found under Location-> Planet –> Exploration) will also reward 10 points each for a total of 20x 10 + 50 = 250 achievement points.

In addition, there is pet reward (may or may not be tied in with the achievements) but the process to getting it is very buggy so you must do the following carefully.

1. On any given planet, use only one character to scan all the droids and make sure you scan the droids that are “designed” for your faction. This is especially the case in Nar Shaddaa, Tatooine, and Corellia.  The achievement doesn’t care if you use multiple characters on a single planet to scan the droids but the pet does!
1. For example in Nar Shadda, there are quite a few droids, some are in Republic or Empire only area etc. If your character is Imperial, you must get all the Empire area only droids and all the droids in faction shared areas (i.e. Upper Promenade, Upper Industrial Sector, Lower Industrial Sector).
2. Do all the scanning on one character if possible. Exceptions are planets that are faction restricted (i.e. capital cities, Balmorra, Taris)
3. Complete the Macrobinocular quest line (include the two heroics) on that character.
4. Don’t worry, even if you already have the achievement, you can still get the mail and pet once you scanned the droids that you have “missed”. 

The pet comes with a mail. You only receive the mail if you done everything above correctly.

The pet should be attached with a mail but it is currently buggy and you need to contact Customer Service to get the pet.

We’re aware that the completion mail currently doesn’t have a pet item attached. It’s not intended, and we’re working on getting this fixed. In the meantime, players who got the completion email without the item can file an in-game Customer Support ticket to have the pet item granted.

Note that the pet is also bugged and currently does not have an appearance (doesn’t show up when you summon it).

You can find all the digging sites in this guide for armor. Unlike the armor sets, there are no specific planets for each of the parts. Instead, parts can be found in all four planets and is completely randomized.

GSI EMP-03 Explorer and GSI HMF-03 Exploiter are tradeable and do not count as a special treasure (therefore does not deplete the digging site).

Pleasure Speeder parts are BoP and not tradeable.

Some champions like Ka’pkar hit extremely hard and you definitely want a dedicated tank and healer. None of the champions drop anything worthwhile (mostly greens) so killing them is purely for achievement.
