A complete Guide on how to play all Dynamic Encounters on Ord Mantell in Star Wars the Old Republic, including all Quests, Achievements and Rewards.

Ord Mantell Dynamic Encounters

Dynamic Encounters are repeatable, time-limited quests in Star Wars the Old Republic. Many Dynamic Encounters are combat focused while others are whimsical and involve non-combat activities such as catching baby Tauntauns or herding Banthas.

For a complete guide for Dynamic Encounters, read more here:

Dynamic Encounters last for either 30 minutes or 45 minutes, while Hidden Chain Invasions spawn for 1 hour. New Dynamic Encounters spawn every 15-30 minutes, and Dynamic Encounters repeat again every 2 hours.

There are three types of Dynamic Encounters:

Easy – Dynamic Encounters that are very easy or have no combat.
Group Shared: All players in your Group share Quest progress for NPC Kills during the Dynamic Encounter. Non-combat progress such as item looting is not shared.

Hard – Dynamic Encounters that either have several steps or a Boss fight.
Encounter Shared: All players in the area share Quest progress for NPC Kills during the Dynamic Encounter. Non-combat progress such as item looting is not shared.

Hidden Chain Invasion – A challenging Dynamic Encounter that last for an hour, can be completed Solo with a Healer Companion.
Encounter Shared: All players in the area share Quest progress for NPC Kills during the Hidden Chain Invasion. Non-combat progress such as item looting is not shared.

For this guide, I have also broken down Dynamic Encounters into 3 different time-lengths:

Fast – Dynamic Encounters that under 2 minutes.

Medium – Dynamic Encounters that take between 2-5 minutes.

Slow – Dynamic Encounters that take 5 or more minutes to complete.

Hidden Chain Invasion

Hidden Chain Invasions are a rare Dynamic Encounter that only appear once every two hours.
The Hidden Chain Invasion Dynamic Encounter has the longest timer of any Dynamic Encounter, lasting for One Hour. You can find where the Hidden Chain Invasion is by looking for the large Invasion marker on your Map and travelling to the location.

The Hidden Chain Invasion is not hard, it takes about 5-10 minutes to complete the encounter as a Solo Player with a Healing companion.

There are NO Hidden Chain Invasion Dynamic Encounters on Ord Mantell in 7.7

Rewards: Killing the Hidden Chain Lieutenant has a small chance to reward you with a random Hidden Chain Mandalorian Armor Set piece.
