Conquest Events That Are Good for Small Guilds

This post has been sitting in my drafts as a personal reference for me for a while, and I figured it was about time that I actually finish and publish it so that other people can benefit from this information too.

If you're the guild master or an officer in a smaller guild, you're probably familiar with the dilemma of which invasion target to choose for Conquest each week. On the one hand you want to go as large as your guild can manage, to maximise everyone's rewards, but on the other hand you want to make sure that you don't bite off more than you can chew, causing your guild to struggle or even fail to reach its cumulative target.

Also, raise your hand if you've ever been in a situation like the following: You go for small yield and then someone decides to randomly be super active that week, causing you to way overshoot the required score. So the following week you go for medium yield, thinking that there's clearly more activity going on than you expected, and suddenly it's totally dead again, so you find yourself personally grinding out the missing points on Sunday or Monday just to hit target. It's annoying!

Now, I can't tell you what your guildies are going to do from one week to the next either, but one thing I've learned over time is that there are some Conquest events that are much better at generating points than others, which is something to keep in mind.

Death Mark

First we have the event that is tied to Bounty Contract Week and therefore comes around as frequently as once a month. You'll definitely want to bookmark this one as it contains the following two objectives:

• Galactic Rampage 
• Missions: Supreme Taskmaster

The former requires you to kill 200 mobs anywhere in the galaxy (and yes, flashpoints and operations count) and gives a little less than 100k points if you have the full Conquest bonus from strongholds. After completion, it also turns into a daily repeatable that's good for another chunk of points every day.

Missions: Supreme Taskmaster requires you to complete 35 missions of any type, awards over 200k points on first completion and then also turns into an only slightly less rewarding repeatable version.

The key thing here is that there are very few activities in SWTOR that don't require you to kill mobs or complete missions, so if your guildies are active at all during the week, they'll be generating Conquest points whether they are actively trying to or not. As a result of this, I've found that during Death Mark weeks, it's generally safe to put your guild's Conquest target one size up compared to what it'd usually be, meaning that if you usually go for small yield, it should be safe to go for medium, and if you usually go medium, you can probably go large.

Revenge of the Revanites

This Conquest is event is much rarer but features the same rampage and taskmaster objectives as Death Mark, so the same rules apply.

Swoop Gang Mayhem

This event is not as "powerful" in terms of points but includes the following noteworthy objectives:

• Missions: Heroic Pinnacle
• Activity Finder: Pinnacle

These give a large chunk of points for completing ten heroics or ten group activities (flashpoints/operations/uprisings/PvP matches) respectively, and they also turn into slightly less rewarding repeatable versions on completion.

Now, I'm not a huge fan of heroics, but many people do like doing them, and if they do they'll be adding a lot more points than usual to your guild's tally.

Similarly, not everyone is into group content, but again, if you have guildies that take part in any type of it repeatedly over the course of the week, they'll be adding more points than they'd usually earn from the same activity.

So this is another candidate for potentially going for a bigger yield than usual, though somewhat dependent on your guildies' preferences. 

The Balance of Power

Like Revenge of the Revanites, this is a rarer event since it's not tied to any world events, but it features the same two objectives as Swoop Gang Mayhem above and may be worth your consideration before choosing your guild's invasion target for the week.
