Hello? Yes, this is Dog.<\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s that time of year again – join us on Empire in Flames as we celebrate Boonta Eve! Mos Espa has had its fair share of tumult in recent times, but Mayor Mok Shaiz still seeks to preserve the Hutt Holiday and bring some stability to the people of the city. After receiving a call when you first log in, head on over to Mos Espa, Tatooine to participate in the festivities and complete daily quests to receive Boonta Coins that you can exchange for rewards. (article updated Dec 9, 2025)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Dates<\/b><\/span>:<\/span> Starts December 9h and runs until January 6th, 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speak to Mayor Mok Shaiz to learn of the different jobs and events you can take part in. You can earn one Boonta coin a day by selecting any of the three activities to complete,<\/span> so pick a different one each day or return re-run your favorite. Once you amass enough coins, you can exchange them for limited-time event-only rewards!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Events<\/b><\/span><\/h1>\n

Skyhopper Race<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

Boonta Eve celebrations would not be complete without the Boonta Classic Race! This year, racers will take to the skies and run the track in Skyhoppers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To start, head to the Parking Garage north of the cantina (\/way -2950 2525) and speak to the Race Coordinator to start.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t have a Skyhopper? No problem! Once you talk to the Coordinator, let him know that you are in need of one and the droid will give you a schematic. Find a friendly Artisan to have it crafted for you and voila! You\u2019re ready to race.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Don’t worry, you’ll still somehow get sand everywhere.<\/p><\/div>\n

Navigate over the dunes, through the sandy mountains, and avoid the territorial Tusken Raiders to reach each checkpoint towards the finish. Upon timely completion of the race (under 210.0 seconds), you will receive a Boonta Coin and if you are the fastest racer overall, you will receive a unique character badge!<\/span><\/p>\n

The race can be completed as many times as you like (though will only award one Boonta Coin if eligible), and you can also challenge others to a Group Race for bragging rights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Help Slaves swear fealty to their masters\u2026 or help them to freedom<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

With the Boonta Eve celebrations allowing slaves a bit more freedom to move around than usual, Garsa Fwip is having trouble tracking some errant slaves down. After speaking with her and learning more, you will be given a waypoint to the slave\u2019s quarters and tasked with bringing them back to speak with Mayor Shaiz so that they can pledge themselves to their new master. Head on out to the waypoint, convince the slave to return with you, and return to Mayor Shaiz for your coin reward.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Don’t trek the whole way back to Mos Espa on foot, hop in a speeder!<\/p><\/div>\n

However, whispers on the streets suggest that other parties may offer an alternative – setting the slaves free. Follow the rumors to the nearby hotel to find a familiar hero, who asks you to help her with smuggling the slaves off-planet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Head to the same waypoint that Garsa gives you but now you will have the option to convince the slave that they have their shot at freedom.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Instead of returning the slave to the cantina to speak with Mayor Shaiz, find the YT-2400 along the outskirts of town near the hotel you found Hera in and bring the slave to Warvog. He\u2019ll give you a Boonta Coin, and help the now former slave to their new life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Don’t good deeds feel nice?<\/p><\/div>\n

Deal with the Party Crashers<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Ortugg is eager for assistance – find him in the alcove to the left of Bib.<\/p><\/div>\n

Lady Valarian still seeks to make moves on Jabba\u2019s former territory and is sending raiders to disrupt the Boonta celebrations. Luckily, Mayor Shaiz and Ortugg have their own plans. Speak with Ortugg in the cantina to receive a waypoint to a Valarian encampment and take care of them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the waypoint Ortugg gives you, you\u2019ll have to deal with the Valarians directly. Take out their enforcers, and then look for the marked placements to plant explosives around their camp. Be careful though – once you set a charge a wave of Valarian reinforcements will arrive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

3….2….1….<\/p><\/div>\n

After the third charge is set, get to safety! As you watch the camp go up in an explosion of fire, you will receive a Boonta coin as a reward. Don\u2019t forget to loot the thugs either- they could have some mid-range Armor Attachments or Clothing Attachments<\/span><\/p>\n

What to do with your hard-earned Boonta Coins<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n
\"\"

EV-9D9 is located towards the back of the cantina, in an alcove on the left.<\/p><\/div>\n

Gather and spend them! You can earn one Boonta Coin a day, per character. Take a look at the rewards list by talking to EV-9D9 and exchange your earned coins for various items, or check your Boonta Balance to see what you might need to save up for. Some items are only available at Boonta, so be sure to check them out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enjoy, and Happy Boonta Eve!<\/span><\/p>\n
