BioWare released the schedule for the SWTOR June events in-game. There will be five this month. The annual casino-like event called Nar Shaddaa Nightlife will return and at the same time another Double XP event will begin!

In case this is your first month in SWTOR, the events listed below are each attached to a certain faction that you help achieve or complete something and you earn reputation. The rewards from doing the missions are rarely anything exclusive, but the reputation vendors for each of these factions often offer cool items you might want to have.

The recurring monthly events in SWTOR are a great way to spend some time casually exploring worlds and doing missions while earning XP, Credits and unique faction-related tokens in some cases.

Double XP Event

The Double XP event is arguably the most popular event in SWTOR. When it is active, you don't get to do any new exclusive content like with the other traditional recurring events.

During the Double XP event you earn Experience twice faster. This is the perfect time for you to level up more alts. SWTOR is built arounds alts and the more you have, the better you experience the game… in my opinion.

For two full weeks from June 29th until July 13th the Double XP event will run on all SWTOR servers. Its start and end times are both 12:00 pm GMT.

Wondering how does the Double XP actually stack up with Bonuses and Perks? Eric Musco explained that years ago in a forum post: everything doubles.

Your normal Experience becomes 200% instead of 100%. Your additional perks and bonuses also double. Even if Musco's calculations are incorrect, the important info to take away is that any bonuses and perks (except for Rested XP) to stack up and will give you even more XP while leveling up during a Double XP event.

Nar Shaddaa Nightlife

The Nar Shaddaa Nightlife is an annual event that runs for a month or two each Summer. This year it will start on June 29th and will last until August 10th 2021. Start and end times of the event are both 12:00 pm GMT.

There are no level requirements to participate. All you need is a character capable of transporting itself to Nar Shaddaa, where the Star Cluster and Club Vertica casinos (one for each faction) will be waiting them.

We don't know yet what new items you might encounter as rewards for playing the slots in the virtual casinos, but one thing is for sure – as soon as the event starts I will update the SWTOR Nar Shaddaa Nightlife event guide with all of the new additions.

Last year the event suffered from major issues with some of the new tokens not dropping properly. We'll see how this years' edition goes. Are you ready to spend some virtual currency in a virtual casino in SWTOR?

D'OH! This almost sounds like one of these awful online casino advertisements! In case you can't tell – I am not the biggest fan of the Nar Shaddaa Nightlife.
