I’m glad you asked! Because I sure as hell didnt know until about a week ago…

See, I accidentally found my first one on my sith warrior on the beta… but I didnt quite realize just what exactly I had found at the time. Upon a little research, I’ve discovered just how important these things are.

Datacrons are a small cube hidden in a hard to reach spot on each planet, with each planet containing multiple Datacrons. When you click on one, it gives you a permanent base stat increase. Yes, you read that correctly, it will permanently buff your aim, cunning, presence, endurance etc. Still not sinking in just how important these things are? Remember 4 seconds ago when I said there were several per planet… that means that if you are level 50, like myself, and haven’t collected any, you are missing out on a wopping extra 50 or so Aim, 45 Endurance… Who knows how much stats Im missing out on!

Assuming that most of you made the same mistake I did, you’re probably shouting, “WHERE THE HELL ARE THESE GLORIOUS CUBES OF POWER GROKKY??? I MUST HAVE THEM!!!” And to that I respond with the following:

Datacron guide to Dromund Kaas

A guide to Nar Shadda Datacrons

Wanting to collect all of them? head to this link and watch all these guys videos… something tells me they’re the SWTOR version of tankspot as their page has instance guides, class quest guides and etc…
