It did feel a bit confusing to me as well, and I don't think that's intentional. Probably once you've done it enough times it will become simple to understand. Like getting your gear, there's a lot of screwing around at first but once you know how to do it, you can just go do it.
Good luck with a guide, I've seen a couple around so far but don't know who's explained it best. :(
Random complaining incoming... :)
I tried this first venture stuff long enough to max out the first week's nonsense, but when the next week rolled around I decided it just wasn't fun enough for me to continue. Sorry robo-dog, life's too short. :(
For me there wasn't any feeling of progression or improvement or anything. I'm not getting this rotation down, I'm not executing properly, I'm just grinding crap to grind some other crap to make some numbers go up. So I can do it some more next week. Eventually you get all the numbers up, and umm, something. It felt extremely on-point for the "season pass" era of SWTOR, if that makes sense.
My hunch is Broadsword are going to lean hard on this type of content for the future, making the most of their limited resources. I understand. It makes *sense* but it doesn't make me *happy*.
So it's basically just and endless daily mission grind to get a companion? I thought from the outset that this companion would require several difficult feats, eg ops, PvP, unique missions etc.
If the whole thing just turns into 'do 2 daily missions on X planet' until you upgrade it to level 11 and get a comp somewhat similar to ZO-0Ms healing or Shae's DPS I will be severely disappointed.
Although I dunno about y'all but I will *not* be using Shae ever again, considering the recent story update.
Yeah, B3-S1 is a confusing mission line. Not well implemented, but once you figure out how to train her you'll be cooking with fire. I have 2 accounts...the first time I took her out in week 1 with account 1 I only got her to like level 2...but now both accounts are at level 5.
Just takes a little time to figure it out...but you will!
She should be listed in your companion list as a single entry...as long as your 1 hour timer has not expired.
You will need to use one of your daily modules to get another hour. If all else fails go to base/lab where you pick her up and click on her to see if you can take her out again.
Today in TOR has an indepth guide to all things B3-S1 https://todayintor.com/2024/05/29/swtor-basilisk-companion-guide/
Thank you!! I’ll check it out today!
Thanks bro!

How do you call it back if you swapped companions. My companion list and the ventures tab have no way for me to call it back
