The Taanab Harvest event has entered its second week!
Players who travel to the Taanab hex farms can speak with co-op president Bukrom in person, who will give players details.
The Taanab Harvest is a four-week event, with each week introducing a new phase with new missions, loot, and escalating danger.
Quest givers have a new set of missions for Week 2 as the harvest continues, with Norulac predations rising and the farmers racing against time to combat the threat.
Kari Saarek needs volunteers to whip militia recruits into fighting shape by taking them on patrols around the hex farm.
Jaa Haruss needs brave players to investigate reports of Norulac activity across Taanab.
Vinon Daivik is looking for travelers to track down contacts who may provide the Taanab farmers the materiel they desperately need to fight the Norulacs…for a price.
Special note: Vinon Daivik’s quest cannot be repeated this week.
Completing missions for a co-op leader will provide a single-time, unique prize, in addition to harvest coins. You can only earn one of these unique prizes per week. (I.e. if you earn Kari Saarek’s unique mission prize, you cannot earn Jaa Haruss or Vinon Daivik’s prize for this week!)
NOTE: Solia Maduel’s quests are disabled. Maybe next year.
Players who travel to the Taanab hex farms can speak with co-op president Bukrom in person, who will give players details.
The Taanab Harvest is a four-week event, with each week introducing a new phase with new missions, loot, and escalating danger.
Work for three different co-op leaders – Kari Saarek, Jaa Haruss, and Vinon Daivik – to help the Taanab farmers in their attempts to protect themselves from the predations of the Norulac pirates.
Completing fifteen missions for a co-op leader will provide a single-time, unique prize, in addition to harvest coins. You can only earn one of these unique prizes per week. (I.e. if you earn Kari Saarek’s fifteen mission prize for the first week, you cannot earn Jaa Haruss or Vinon Daivik’s prize for week 1!)
NOTE: Solia Maduel’s quests are disabled. Maybe next year.
Special note: Vinon Daivik’s quest requires Surveillance Binoculars, introduced as a new craftable with this patch.
Utility Items
This patch introduces a handful of new artisan-craftable items and commands. These items will be used in new quests and content going forward.
These new “utility items” can be equipped normally. To save inventory space, a player can /stow them (the utility item equivalent to /holster). While they’re equipped, a player can /utilize them.
Surveillance Binoculars – Accepts a datacard. Used to scout out and record areas for survey and surveillance purposes.
Datapad – Accepts a datacard. Used to retrieve and store data.
Changes
Utilize now has a cooldown to prevent spamming.
Flash Speeder price increased to 75k credits due to a galaxy-wide shortage.
Bug Fixes
Imperial PvP rifle now has a separate appearance from the Imperial shotgun.
Here are the notes for the patch released on 10/18/2022, featuring the long-awaited return of the Exar Kun Holiday Instance:
Content
The Temple of Exar Kun has returned!
Reports of disappearing archeologists have begun to swirl around a dark temple on Yavin 4. Others whisper about a shade haunting the temple – a shade that must be confronted before the temple’s depths can be plumbed.
Three players are required to begin the instance. The instance can be run once per day, per character. Take care in the depths of the temple – there are no cloning centers available.
The Temple of Exar Kun will only be accessible for a short time during the Halloween season. Conquer it to acquire unique, limited-time weapons and items! New loot has been added for 2022!
Bug Fixes
Scattergun specials now feature subtitles in the skill tree
The Scavenger’s Lightsaber has been fixed and now recolors as intended
Center of being modifiers should now be properly added to agnostic lightsabers.

Propaganda/Counterpropaganda
The Rebe… New Republic rabble should scour their capital city to make the Imperial propaganda unreadable! Promoters of the New Republic need to find blank kiosks and place clean posters.
Good Imperials will want to head to Kuat and clean up the mess left by the rebel scum, while others will want to put up more posters to recruit for the Empire!
Ewok Village
Solo, or better yet take a group to your capital city and grab the mission to:
Attack the village or
Defend the little adorable carnivores.

I took a little hiatus and returned recently to so many updates and additions to an Empire in Flames. I started to compile the list and realized I likely wasn’t the only one who would like to know what EiF has been up to! It was a lot of fun turning the devs loose on the list I started. I was able to see which areas were important to each staff member. EiF is blessed to have gathered a diverse group of people who give so much to the community. Contributing to this article was Halyn, Anishor, Jeil, Kelta, Phoenix, and Abi.
Enjoy! If you haven’t visited EiF in awhile, this is the time! The Easter event is coming and Anniversary Week is around the corner!
