Without any guide or other people's hints, I managed to get it done quite fast (I did spend some time looking for the random parts to open the first door though).<br /><br />Maybe the vision of HK was just too strong to feel bothered at any point ^^ Dalasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-57979295523746809392012-12-06T06:33:14.171+00:002012-12-06T06:33:14.171+00:00The scanner thing is actually somewhat cool, but i...The scanner thing is actually somewhat cool, but it needs multiple people in the area to work well. Ideally, several people look for the item, then when one gets a hit, she announces the coordinates in chat. I announced my hits in general chat, even though I wasn't in a group.<br /><br />Then everyone converges on the area until they find it, and everyone can loot it.<br /><br />You can do it on your own, but it is a little painful.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-20464286691608607442012-12-06T05:00:56.960+00:002012-12-06T05:00:56.960+00:00Cool!

If you organize a bit, you can get a nice search grid set up (key word: overlap). On my 4th run through, the 4-man group we had set up managed to find all the scanning parts in under 45 minutes, which includes switching to an Imperial character for the Dromund Kaas part. But then I guess for a 4th time, we really should know where to look and how best to do it.<br />The added bonus is, that this same group could then also do the flash points required for the final 2 parts. I'd say all in all, it shouldn't cost much more than 3 hours from start to end. That said, I know of some guildies that say they have spent days searching for a single part.<br /><br />And on a totally unrelated note, and only because you mentioned it.... Maniac Mansion rules! ;)<br /><br />Oh, and @depizan: You can get to the Theoretika if you group up with someone that is on the quest, yes. I have helped several guildies getting through their quest that way, despite already having completed it on that character.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875228217272782403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-84609206157791099542012-12-06T04:13:48.655+00:002012-12-06T04:13:48.655+00:00The scanner is indeed a pain, the only advice is t...The scanner is indeed a pain, the only advice is to get the chain done ASAP. If anyone in the area - note that you may need to see if there is more than one instance up - finds the item, everyone can loot it assuming they get there in time. Chatter in /general can help with this. Once most people have the pieces, though, you'll be on your own.<br /><br />I will say that I'm only doing this thing once. 1 million credits (or even /gasp the Cartel coins) will be a small price to pay not to do this again.

One that homed in on the part, like you suggest, would be a lot better.<br /><br />Is the HK hunt a quest chain, or is it possible to help another person out by finding parts? I don't have any particular interest in HK, at least for my mains (especially my Agent, who already has enough homicidal companions who don't like him, thanks) but the Theoretika part sounds kind of fun - and I have friends who may decide they want an HK, but would be driven up the wall by that part.depizannoreply@blogger.com
