Introduction

The purpose of a bingo run is to take a 5x5 grid of 25 different tasks and complete a row, column, or diagonal of 5 tasks. Bingo runs require on-the-fly routing decisions and unique character builds, and thus can be more dynamic than a speedrun of a standard category. Bingo runs are frequently done as races, but can be done solo as a change of pace or just for fun.

How to Play

There are two ways to play KotOR Bingo:

In Browser

We host KotOR Bingo as part of a GitHub repository. Click for the board generator! This can be used for solo play, or for races using the “Set Seed” field. This version will always have the most up-to-date task list, so this is the recommended method for bingo.

Bingosync

KotOR Bingo is also available at Bingosync! Just visit the webpage and select “Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic” as your game. Once you have the room set up, you can share it with others for races or just play the board yourself!

Note: The tasklist associated to Bingosync may be out of date compared to the GitHub version above.

Whichever method you choose, once you’ve got the bingo app downloaded and ready to go, you’re ready to start your run.

Basic Rules

Here is an example Bingo card:

The goal is to finish a row, column, or diagonal of five tasks. The idea is that all 12 possible rows are of similar difficulty; but every individual bingo card will have some rows which are at least slightly easier than others. The goal is to pick the fastest row, and complete it as quickly as possible.

When you’re ready to go, load up KotOR and, while on the main menu, generate a new card to use for that bingo run. If you are timing yourself, you start the timer as you click the “New Card” button. You stop the timer when you have completed the final task in your row, column, or diagonal. Note that unlike standard KotOR speedruns, the timer starts before Character Creation. This is because different rows on a bingo card may require different character builds.

Important Notes:

Choosing a Row

The most important part of a bingo run is choosing which row, column, or diagonal of tasks to attempt to complete. This is typically done very early in the run, often before creating your character, as certain tasks require certain character builds. Different runners have different opinions on how to choose rows; some eliminate certain tasks that they don’t want to do and look at what’s left; others look for tasks that pair well together; still others look at each row one at a time, and try to determine what would be the fastest.

Deciding which row to pick gets easier the more bingos you do. If you’re not sure at first, just pick the row that sounds like the most fun. The more you learn about the various tasks on the tasklist, the easier it is to determine which ones you like and which ones you’d rather avoid.

Task Notes

Part of bingo is knowing what each task requires. A task that seems simple may not be so easy; as an example, the “Dominator Gauntlets” task actually requires finishing the Leviathan, and thus is not nearly as easy as the “Circlet of Saresh” task, which just requires access to Kashyyyk.

Below are sections for each general type of task that can appear on a KotOR bingo card. Each section has general notes for the type of task, then the tasks in that category are listed in alphabetical order with more specific notes where needed.

If you’re looking for a task but not sure what category it’s in (or just want to find it quickly), I’d recommend using Ctrl+F. Be aware that some tasks with numbers have an X in place of the number in this list; for example, “8 Different Jedi Robes” would be found under “X Different Jedi Robes”.

Item Tasks

General Notes: Any task that simply lists an item, such as “Dominator Gauntlets” or “150 Racing Bonds”, requires you to have that item (or items) in your inventory at the end of the run. These items can be equipped on a character, but you must have access to that character. Crystals can be placed in a lightsaber, but again you must have access to that lightsaber.

Character Build Tasks

General Notes: Any tasks that lists feats, Force powers, skills, or other character build features must be completed on the main character. Completing these tasks on a party member does not count. They also must be permanent; temporarily acquiring them and then losing them (such as during a FLU or via a Hotshot) does not count.

For the purposes of these tasks, Permanent means either base points from Attributes or non-timed effects such as equipment or mastery bonuses. Temporary, timed bonuses such as stims or Force powers do not count for these tasks.

20 Net Stealth Skill

21 Base Charisma

X Permanent Maximum Vitality
