This guide will show you how to complete both the Classic and Expert Imperial Agent Venture in Star Wars the Old Republic. Including every Level, Quest and Reward!

Imperial Agent Venture

Ventures are an optional Challenge Mode in SWTOR that provide rare and special Rewards for completing Story quests and PvE Content whilst under a special set of Character restrictions similar to Iron Man modes in Runescape or Hardcore characters in World of Warcraft.
This guide will cover how to complete all objectives and unlock every reward associated with the Imperial Agent Venture on both the Classic and Expert difficulty.

How to Start

To participate in the Imperial Agent Ventures, you will need to create a brand new Venture character as a Subscriber! During character creation, select which Venture you wish to play, Classic, or Expert.
Note: whichever Venture you pick, that character is locked into their respective difficulty until that character has completed all of its Objectives!

Venture characters will also experience unique gameplay during your adventures such as special consumables that allow them to complete time limited challenges to gain powerful buffs and rewards!

• Classic = Veteran Difficulty – Increased Damage Taken, decreased Healing Recieved, decreased EXP Gain.
• Expert = Master Difficulty – High Damage Taken, little Healing Recieved, decreased EXP Gain.

The Classic Venture is meant to evoke the feeling you had playing SWTOR for the first time. The Objectives will take you only up to completing the main vanilla game story, level 50, and other objectives consist of levelling companions and crew skills, completing planetary story arcs, events and daily areas.

The Expert Venture is a much harder set of challenges that sprawl across all forms of game content from the Vanilla story to Operations, Daily Areas, Endgame content and mastering all major expansions.


To create a Venture Character:

• Go to the Character Select Screen and Create a New Character. (must have a free character slot)
• On the Starting screen, choose Full Campaign and then underneath, click the Classic button (left) or Expert button (right).
• Choose the Imperial Faction and the Agent Story.
  • Note: You can ONLY pick the Operative or Sniper combat style!
• Customize your character and press PLAY!

Venture Gear

Unlike regular characters in SWTOR, Venture characters have access to special Challenge Token Currencies and Consumable items that provide unique Buffs, Quests and Rewards for your Venture characters in both Classic and Expert difficulty!

These currencies and consumable items can be found as loot from killing enemies across the game such as:

• Powerful Grenades capable of killing difficult enemies in seconds
• Challenges & Buffs that increase your Venture Character’s stats.
• Hidden Treasure Chests that must be uncovered.
• Summonable Vendors that provide powerful items to your Venture characters.
• Unique Quests not playable by non-Venture characters.
• Special Buffs that unlock secret ‘Venture only’ Quick Travel points, Speed Boosts and Stealth abilities.

Shiny Enemies

Shiny enemies are randomly generated in the open world. Any enemy in the game, both Red and Yellow nameplate has the ability to spawn as ‘Shiny’.
You can see what enemy is Shiny by looking for any enemy with a light orange or yellow skin on their model (pictured above).

While there is a low chance for enemies to drop a single Venture Currency and Consumable item (boosts, challenges etc), ‘Shiny’ enemies have a guaranteed chance to drop multiple different Venture Consumables and Currencies if you defeat them.
You can increase your chances of gaining Venture currency and consumables by using a Treasure Locator.

It is always worth going out of your way to defeat a Shiny enemy where possible, as they become increasingly less common as you gain levels. Starter planets appear to have the highest amount of Shiny enemies.

Buffs

There are a wide variety of Buffs and Consumable Boosts that can be found on Venture Characters. Some of them require completion of a Challenge to unlock while others may be found as Loot or purchased from a Vendor!

Grenades

• Regenerating Electro-Stun Grenades: Stuns all enemies caught in the AoE radius for 15 seconds. 60 Second cooldown.
• Regenerating Freeze Bombs: Slows down enemy reaction times and temporarily Freezes all enemies caught in the AoE radius for 10 seconds. 60 Second cooldown.
• Regenerating Pyro Grenades: Deals heavy Fire DoT damage to all enemies in the AoE radius for 15 seconds. 60 Second cooldown.
• Regenerating Seismic Grenades: Throws enemies in different directions and deals Electric DoT damage in the AoE radius. 60 Second cooldown.
• Regenerating Waste Grenades: Deals heavy Poison DoT damage to all enemies in the AoE radius for 15 seconds. 60 Second cooldown.

Treasure Locator

Wide-Pulse Treasure Locators act as a Warmer or Colder style game that is used to uncover Treasure boxes for Venture characters. When consumed your the Treasure Locator will be removed from your inventory and placed on your character’s Buff Tray.

The number on your Treasure Locator Buff will increase the closer you get to a Hidden Treasure, and decrease the further away you get!
Once you are close enough to a Hidden Treasure, a Blue beam of loot will explode from the ground and you may loot the Treasure, otherwise it will despawn after a minute.

Travel Buffs

There are multiple different Consumable items for Venture characters that provide Buffs that increase your characters Speed, Stealth or Quick Travel capabilities.

Expedient Insight is a Buff that increases your Venture character’s movement speed for 5 minutes. It can be stacked up to 3 times.

Once you have consumed the Expedient Insight item, while you are walking or mounted in the open world, walk over the hovering arrows and rings along main pathways (yellow map lines) to greatly increase your characters movement speed until the timer runs out.

Shrouded Path is a Buff that gives your Venture character access to Stealth for 5 minutes.

Once you have consumed the Shrouded Path item, while you are walking or mounted in the open world, walk over the hovering arrows and rings along main pathways (yellow map lines) and your character will enter Stealth, unable to be detected by mobs while moving.

Found Quick Travel Pass is a Buff that gives your Venture character access to special Quick Travel points across your current planet. The buff will only expire once you have used one of the special Quick Travel Points.

The Found Quick Travel points are not the same as regular Quick Travel points in SWTOR. Instead the Found QT Pass teleports you to deep locations in the wild/hostile areas of many planets, similar to the Merchant’s Quick Travel Pass.

Merchant’s Quick Travel Pass is a Buff that gives your Venture character access to special Quick Travel points across your current planet. The buff will only expire once you have used one of the special Quick Travel Points.

The Merchant’s Quick Travel points are not the same as regular Quick Travel points in SWTOR. Instead the Merchant’s QT Pass teleports you to deep locations in the wild/hostile areas of many planets, similar to the Found Quick Travel Pass.

Modifiers

Modifiers are special items that can be looted from Shiny & standard enemies or as a reward from Treasure Boxes.
There are three Modifiers that provide a Temporary Boost to your character for 1 hour. You can only consume and use one Modifier at a time.

The Survivor modifier applies the True Grit buff to your character for 1 hour and functions similarly to the Life Warden tactical kit.

• Rapidly Heals your character when your Health goes below 20%. This effect can only activate once every 30 seconds.

Vendors

There are two different Vendors that can be summoned from special Communicators that can be found as loot from Shiny enemies, normal enemies or as a Reward from completing a Challenge Mission.

The Grenade Vendor lasts for 45 seconds and will follow your character like a Companion. When you interact with the Grenade Vendor they will only let you purchase 2 of the 5 Grenades before they despawn.

Expert Venture

Compared to the Classic Venture, the Expert difficulty Imperial Agent Venture begins the same on Hutta, but progresses extensively throughout all game Era’s and content, including difficult endgame Operations (raids), Daily Areas and Flashpoints in high difficulties where group content is required.

If you are a Solo or Co-Op player, you will be able to progress through the first 6 Stages but may find Stage 6 and 8 difficult to complete without grouping with other players.

Unlike Classic Ventures where most tasks are combined to be completed one planet at a time, Expert Ventures offer little to no guidance. You must figure out how to level and complete each Objective within each Stage on your own.

My personal suggestion is to complete every Story mission, Quest and Dynamic Encouter on each planet, then once you have Level-Synced down to the planet’s level, backtrack and complete every Objective one at a time.
