Additional information:You’ll get this codex entry after completing the daily Heroic 2+ Buying Loyalty.Underworld Influences lore the only way to get it is to have the droid destroy the spice in place on the daily heroic mission (the light side choice). You don’t get it if you take the spice to the original quest giver and have him watch you destroy it, or in any other cases. Keep in mind, having the droid destroy it grants Light points. We would like to thank Simon and Adora for additional information. Original Game Codex TextOrd Mantell was once considered a vital supply depot for the Republic military, but the discovery of new hyperspace lanes virtually eradicated the need to route fleets through the planet’s local star cluster. The ordnance engineers and military families formerly occupying the planet transferred to distant outposts, and Ord Mantell was abandoned to farmers.The old military-grade spaceports were never decommissioned, however, and it didn’t take long for private interests to take them over. In addition to corporations like Czerka, less savory factions from the galactic underworld set up shop. Small-time criminal gangs took advantage of the planet’s lack of strong Republic oversight and became thriving operations.These gangsters and corporations have invested heavily in the world’s government. Many of Ord Mantell’s major political figures are indebted to their corporate and underworld “sponsors,” and although some of these leaders have left office in disgrace, it has not discouraged the wealthy and unscrupulous from purchasing political influence. Other politicians have pledged to clean up corruption–rarely succeeding for long, despite noble intentions. |

You’ll get this codex entry after completing the daily Heroic 2+ quest “Buying Loyalty”.
I just re-ran this daily, and did not get this codex entry. Is there a specific conversation path that needs to be taken?
Likewise, i re-ran this quest and still didn’t get the entry. either it’s bugged, or this is false information.
I also just did this quest and did not receive this entry. I chose the light-side responses.

I just confirmed that this *IS* working just fine. In case your having trouble, for the first conversation choice with the droid, I chose the response “no, it’s supplies” and then for the second choice, I told the droid to destroy the supplies. And then when speaking to Gizmel afterwards, first I told him the shipment was gone (top choice I think..paraphrased, but you tell him you destroyed it), then for the next choice, I told him to “try something else”. This sequence gave me the Underworld Influences codex at the end of the mission. This is confirmed, by me (for what it’s worth) as of 12:30AM CST on Mon. January 16th 2012. I hope this helps.
I did this twice as instructed with my trooper and still no codex… perhaps picking it up from the drop box is the problem? Next time I will ask the guy himself…
How do a jedi consular get this one?
Quest not obtainable for Consular. Possible to obtained if partied with viable class
Sorry Hydran. I just ran through all the quests with a friend that rolled a Trooper, and the Codex entries are not obtainable even if you’re partied with a viable class. I was still unable to enter the conversations needed to obtain the entries.
So don’t waste your time trying for them. Hopefully they will be obtainable some how in the future.
You will only receive this codex by selecting the light side choice with the droid and destroying the spice shipment. I tried it on my smuggler and picked dark side and did not get it. I had to return the next day and try it again.
I just got this entry as a trooper. I completed the conversation with the droid just as others said, tell him to destroy the spice. After I went back to Gizmel I spoke with him and told him I destroyed the spice. Then after he ranted and raved I chose the response that he he should give the villagers food instead, I believe it was option 1. After completing the conversation I got the codex.
Legacy cannot be completed on Ord Mantell. It is broken. The Heroic 2+ Buying Loyalty will not award the lore Underworld Influences in response to any dialogue options chosen. As of 12-23-2015 I was informed that since this is not a story issue Customer Service does not care.
It’s because of the way they’ve changed Heroics to end right there rather than require turn-in… that bypasses the final conversation choice for this Heroic.
now fixed with patch 4.2
Still bugged.
Or probably it creeped back in.
Did the correct choices, destroyed the spice, and didn’t got the index entry.
Also, since the quest terminates on the spot, didn’t had the chance to destroy the spice in front of gizmel.
bottom line: still broken.
