My Recommendation:
Strife SWTOR Leveling Guide is currently the best one and my highest recommendation, closely followed by Aeon Leveling Guide and Killerguides Leveling Guide. I definitely recommend Strife guide (it’s even the cheapest one!), but if you’re looking for an alternative and mind the difference in price, you won’t notice much of a difference in quality and you might as well get Killerguide. In their current state other guides aren’t worth getting in my opinion.
Some of these guides are supposed to be updated often with free new content, so I’ll be keeping this post updated accordingly! If you’re a guide author and want your guide reviewed here you’re welcome to contact me!
