Earning Shadow Syndicate reputation is essential to maximize the Galactic Season. You have to exchange the Underworld Syndicate Plans to earn Shadow Syndicate Commendations which you can consume to increase your Shadow Syndicate Reputation.

Before you can start farming for your reputation, you have to do a few questlines first to unlock Shadow Syndicate:

  1. Unlock Fen Zeil as a companion through the Galactic Season. You can naturally progress through the season by completing daily and weekly tasks.
  2. Finish the quest “The Shadow of the Underworld,” which is Fen Zeil’s companion mission.

Congrats! You can now farm for Underworld Syndicate Plans with the mission “The Shadow Syndicate.”

Since you’ll be able to increase your Shadow Syndicate Reputation directly, it’s very worth it to farm this currency. You’ll be able to progress quickly with the Galactic Season since most of the daily and weekly tasks involve earning a reputation with the Shadow Syndicate.

The most effective way to farm Underworld Syndicate Plans in Star Wars: The Old Republic is by focusing on three groups of enemies; Exchange, Hutts, and The Black Sun. These three enemy groups are in Nar Shaddaa, which is perfect since the NPC, Qi’us Dnar will exchange your Underworld Syndicate Plans for Shadow Syndicate Commendations.
