SWTOR Taris (Republic) Blue Mastery Datacron Location Guide

The Blue Mastery Datacron increases your aptitude in combat, allowing you to do more damage. It will grant you Mastery +2 to your permanent stats along with codex: Galactic History 23: The Sith Order Begins. There are 5 Datacrons in total located on the planet of Taris.

Datacrons are collectables scattered around the galaxy in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Each Datacron contributes towards your Legacy's passive stats permanently. Furthermore, they also provide interesting Lore and Codex Entries about the Old Republic era.

Starting coordinates: -1362, -212.

This Datacron is located inside a broken ventilation shaft above the Rakghoul infested Municipal Utility District in the very north of the Republic Resettlement map. Your starting point is very close to the Jedi Consular's class mission instance. This is the exact same as the Imperial Endurance Datacron version, so be sure you are on the correct faction.

You have to climb and follow a ledge along the wall all the way to the end with a few small jumps.

When you get to the very end and stand on top of the grid platform, you simply drop down to the next broken part and further onto the massive bronze coloured tube. (Mind the gap)

Get down to the right side of this tube onto a stable ledge, marked with a yellow line and turn around facing the opposite way.

You now have to jump to the broken pipe on your left. There is a gap, so be careful. I recommend jumping from an angle, and remember to hold W + SPACE at the same time for precision jumps. If you do too much of a running jump, you might miss the jump and simply glide off.

Again jump over the broken part and follow the pipe until the end and jump to the ledge directly below.

Follow the ledge around until you get to the flat plateau below with a hole exposing the ventilation shaft below it.

Now simply jump down through that hole and continue forward. You will see the Datacron resting below.

This will grant you Mastery +2 to your permanent stats along with codex: Galactic History 23: The Sith Order Begins.

This datacron holds unheard of power and knowledge collected by an ancient race. You access its power and discover writings which are clearly only one small piece of a massive galactic history:

Exiled for horrific dark side experiments, a group of Dark Jedi made a last stand against the Jedi Order on Corbos, where they were ultimately defeated. The survivors fled beyond the borders of Republic space and, seeking a refuge, they discovered the planet Korriban--home to the red-skinned Sith species. The Sith looked on the Dark Jedi's Force abilities with awe, and worshipped them as gods.

Led by the fabled warrior and tactician Ajunta Pall, the Dark Jedi began forging the Sith into a glorious civilization, built on the principles they had established after breaking with the Jedi Order. They ordered the construction of great monuments on Korriban--vast cities that did not survive the ages, glorious temples and elaborate tombs.

As time passed, the Dark Jedi and the Sith species intermarried, until there were few true purebloods remaining. Eventually, there were only small physical differences between them. There were only the Sith, strong in the dark side of the Force, and their new Sith Empire.
