Is the pearl worth keeping in Star Wars Outlaws?

Wondering if the pearl is worth keeping in Star Wars Outlaws? After completing the main quest “The Safecracker” on the Kijimi map, you will receive a special request from Danka in the Star Wars Outlaws expansion.

The Broker questline begins, in which Danka asks Kay to lend a hand her fulfill a contract for the Ashiga clan. Danka brokered the sale of the Bivalve between the Pykes and the Ashiga, but now the Pykes want to double-cross the deal and sell it to Crimson Dawn.

In this quest, you will have the option to keep the pearl or give it to Ashiga or Crimson Dawn. If you are wondering whether to keep the pearl or not, you can find all the Broker quest results below.

Is the pearl worth keeping?

After completing “The Broker” and delivering the Bivalve Dance, she will contact you and ask to meet at Makal’s in Mirogana. When you speak to her, she will give you the following options for the pearl:

• Give a pearl to Crimson Dawn: Gain a moderate amount of reputation with the Ashiga Clan (two green arrows, which is about a fifth of the bar) and a significant amount of reputation with the Blood Dawn (three green arrows).
• Return the pearl to the Ashiga clan: Gain a significant amount of reputation with the Ashiga clan (three green arrows, corresponding to half the bar).
• Save the pearl: Gain a medium amount of reputation with the Ashiga clan (two green arrows) and be able to sell the pearl for 2000 credits. The pearl is marked as “safe to sell” with no other purpose.

The best choice here is give the pearl Crimson Dawn because you will gain a lot of reputation with both clans. However, at the time of this choice I already had maximum reputation with Crimson Dawn, so it was more profitable for me to give it to Ashiga and gain even more reputation with them. I do not recommend keeping the pearl, because in Star Wars Outlaws there are many other ways to quickly earn credits, and the reputation meter is much more significant in the game.

Below you will find a detailed walkthrough of the entire Broker quest, as well as other possible solutions, such as bribing or refusing to bribe the Imperial Officer, if you have not yet made the decision regarding the Pearl, described above.

Broker quest walkthrough

To start the ‘Broker’ quest, you must first complete the ‘Safecracker’ main quest on Kijimi. Then either set a course for Toshara with the Trailblazer, or go to your journal, hover over the Broker quest, and select ‘Show on Map’. You can then go directly to one of the brisk travel points on Toshara and skip the ship travel sequence and additional cutscenes.

Once you are on Toshara, follow these steps to complete the “Broker” quest:

1. Go to the map marker in the “Mirage” region of Toshara.
2. At the marker on the map, climb onto the ledge to the north and interact with the indicated stone.
3. Watch a cutscene of Kay and ND-5 waiting for the remaining syndicates to arrive at the meeting point.
4. Defeat all enemies in the clearing.
5. Search the Speeders to the north for a datapad.
6. Talk to ND-5.
7. It turns out the Pykes weren’t tricking Ashig, they were just playing with the Crimson Dawn to get more Credits. The Bivalve is probably in a nearby Pyke workshop.
8. Travel to the coordinates of Pyke’s Workshop, located northeast of your current location in the Mirage region.
9. Depending on your reputation with the Pykes, you may be able to enter freely or you will have to sneak through most of the territory.
10. Once you’re in the workshop, go up the stairs behind the arms dealer.
11. Order Nix to hold the lever and go through the door. This will lead you to a closed part of the workshop.









12. The clam or “Bivalve” is located in the foreman’s office. It is located to the left of where you just entered, behind the red door. You can have Nix steal the clam through the window into the office. You can also have Nix press the console button to the left of the clam if you want to explore the office yourself. Inside you will also find loot, a chest, and a rack of sniper rifles.
13. Now that you have the clam, you need to exit Pyke’s workshop. Unfortunately, the way you came in is inaccessible, so you’ll need to exit through the vast opening to the southeast.




14. Either sneak or fight your way to the exit. If you want to speedrun this process, I had particularly good luck shooting the red container above the center of the workshop. In the confusion, you can run through the base fairly easily. Just head up the stairs to the left of the office, then shoot the two enemies on the left before heading to the platform outside and shooting the third guard looking out at the horizon.
15. When you reach the platform leading to the exit, there will be a grapple point marked with a white and yellow card. Use it to exit the base. Don’t swing or jump from it, as that will be instant death. Instead, drop down using the drop prompt and you’ll be fine, as long as you heal up afterwards.
16. Leave the territory and head to Jaunta’s Hope, southwest of your current location.
17. Now enter the Daruda Diner and talk to ND-5 at the bar to start a cutscene.
18. Kay will give Dance a clam and then be forced to bribe the Imperial officer sitting next to her. You will be given the choice to “Bribe” or “Refuse to Bribe.”
19. Once you choose the option, the quest will be completed, but not before Kay steals one of the clam’s pearls. Danka will contact you again, and you will have to meet her at Makal’s in Mirogana City.

Is it worth bribing an Imperial officer?

If you’re wondering whether it’s worth bribing the Imperial Officer before continuing the Broker quest, you can find all the possible outcomes below:

• Bribe: Earn 1000 credits plus the pearl. Kay will be free to leave the diner.
• Refusal to accept a bribe: Earn 1500 credits plus the pearl. Kay will be placed on the “Wanted” list as soon as she leaves the restaurant, meaning you’ll have to escape Imperial pursuit and possibly clear your name from the Wanted List at a later date. You can do this by interacting with Imperial terminals in space or bribing corrupt officers. If you’re caught by the stormtroopers, you’ll be arrested and charged with 2000 credits. Although of course you can get them back by hacking into Imperial terminals and stealing the arrest credits inside.

The best option in this case is to simply bribe an officer. You’ll only lose 500 credits, which isn’t that much at this point in Star Wars Outlaws history. It’ll save you some trouble, although it might hurt Kay’s pride.

Regardless of the option you choose, the quest will end the same with Kay stealing the pearl and Danka asking her to visit her outside Makal’s. From there, Danka will reveal that she knows Kay took the pearl, but will let her do so.

In return, Kay will have the choice to keep the pearl or give it to Crimson Dawn or the Ashiga clan. All the results of this choice can be found above selection of pearls section.
