Tech parts and schems. BTW, I am making more from my T9 augs than the level 22s. The level 50 market is way, WAY flooded. Lock box missions have NOTHING for augs. But, I run them for the other schems for my alts.

I must say. That is a rare talent.

Sadly, problems with Lotro's F2P model and how they handle subscribers is why I am letting my year long sub at LOTRO expire this month. Sadly, with this announcement, SWTOR seems to be headed down the same path, which I guess I will examine in September when my extensions to my initial sub end. BTW... BIOWARE, DID you forget that you asked your pre-release subscribers what model they wanted to use? THE MODEL we have now was what was overwhelmingly requested. SO much for your consideration for your customers... SIGH.

Sigh 72 pages and counting. As if any dev is going to read all of it. .. Just throwing out there. F2P noobs probably need a place to post questions that may get answered by senior players. How about a segregated F2P section of the forums? AND, while I am dreaming... How about putting new F2P players on their own servers, with coming back players being able to use their own server or the F2P server? I would guess Bioware by then MIGHT have players choice server transfers that could be bought with bioware/ real life money so you could move your toon off that F2P server for a COST...

First off, OP, nice list. Seems like some stuff is missing, but I am unable to play for the past week and at least a few more days. Umm.. Not exactly? On Shadowlands, T1 and T2 green gifts are guaranteed sales. I price them at just below the price of the vendor, which is usually a 200 credit profit over the mission. The reason why few people list them is because, near as I can tell, once they are above the skill level of the T1 and T2 missions that grant them, they dont send their companions. I dont remember pricing 1.) because if anyone wants to use the tip, I want them to at least do the work of running over to the vendor and 2.) I really dont need the competition. Having pretty much a monopoly is fun. For me, I send my companions on T1 gift missions constantly, just to cover the time it takes me to disembark from my ship to a planet. Usually, my companion is waiting planetside for me. On my level 400 guys, I send my companions to farm mats for my lower level tunes, while they skill up themselves. Gift missions are by FAR too predominant vs the stuff I really need, so I get mad at seeing soo many gift missions, making me less likely to send companions on missions for gifts. However, when I get a new companion on an alt, sending constantly on the T1 and T2 missions with my big tunes gets me stuff far better than I can get at vendor, like 3 gifts for 95 credits, or a purple git and a schem. ^^^^^^^ THIS. I know they "fixed" the GTN, but it is still wonky, and, I think, a known issue. While I would put companion gifts WAY behind being able to say, tell if I know already a schematic before I spend credits on it, it WOULD be nice if the "useful for" - "companion x" filter actually did something to show gift use for at least companions. As a side note, the scale is a lil more complex than the only level 1 and level 5 gift rules someone mentioned above. I accidentally gave a level 5 favorite purple gift to a companion was below 5K and got less faction than a level 3 like green gift. Personally, I use the divide the 10K scale up concept. (0-2000 = T1, 2001-4000 = T2, 4001-6000 = T3, 6001-8000 = T4 and 8001- 10K = T5). However 9 plus to companion is better than nothing if his affection is way above zero. Hope my ramblings help someone.

Was a great concept promoted before beta. Never made it to real game.

Agree with a lot of what OP says... and also this guy. Sadly, you are an amoeba to an elephant..Bioware cant even feel you slashing at it.

Pfft.. your funny.. reading.. whats that?

Umm.. NO WAY.. sorry.. What is the point of your post? Getting your class spec is part of your class progression, which you have to do to get the ship you say you already have at level 11. Unless you are counting the ship that your arch nemisis stole from you at level 1 and does not give back until you are done with Coruscant. And, if the guy at fleet who is supposed to give you a quest to get class specialization wont talk to you, you did not finish your class quests on Ord Mantell. so head back there. Oh, and lots of the quests in game are locked behind you being the proper level, which you barely are to get the advanced class quests. If you level faster, you will end up sitting on your thumbs with nothing to do.

Yeah, for my commando cybertech, the low level ear pieces he lists sell out as I am killing grey driods to get parts to make more of them. When I was leveling my 2 50s, ear pieces for under 49s were non-existant. You just need to get in a niche and let other people undercut each other for the level 50 market.

Ehh.. Slicing is the way to get the schems for under 22 augs. It also gives the parts to make the augs for synth, armstech and armormechs. Sadly, people on Shadowlands only seem to think that people are level 50 needing the level 22 augs and kits. Happily, my level 30 slicing BH is making 10K per recipe for the level 2-10 schems he is bringing back from slicing missions. Actually, he is also making good credits by making blue gear for levels 9-25. since no one seems to be making Aim/Cunning gear.

GIve someone else your account and password. plus your credit card info? Just ignore the extra charges on the bill and pay it off... (Sigh) Ok DONT do that. Why are you worried about leveling fast? This is a STORY based MMO, so they want you to smell the flowers as you go by. If you must tho, focus on your class line, ignoring all side quests until you cant get past fight X. Then, dont call on your friends and guildies to help. Do the side quests in the area where you are, and work backwards until you get the correct gear and can win that fight. Of course, you will be sick of doing your smuggler by that time because he failed you so many times on that TUFF boss fight that you really were not prepared for because you skipped so much content.

The people in my guild say that on their EV runs, they get 9 drops of smuggler gear to the 1 drop of everybody else. That is across 10 runs for two months ending about a month ago. Maybe you and they are just unlucky. Thier companions have cunning based gear to drool for tho.

That ability is ONLY available to TANK spec shadows who are T4 in their skill tree. DPS shadows cant use it.

Just put it this way: RANGE = Sage Heals and DPS and popular with groups Up close and personal = Shadow DPS and tanking, biased against by groups Oh, and shadow dps spec damage output appears to be weak vs what my heal spec smuggler can put out,. Or at least, feels that way. Mox says DPS shadow is way behind the other members of my Ops group, including the tank and off tank. On the other hand, when I switch to tank spec, he is god mode, just hard to convince others to let him tank, with the standard MMO bias.. "he is in light armor, he cant tank".

OK.. so did EV once again last night. How about this? 1. Seeing the "you getting on the ship and getting in the pods" video the first time through, or just space barring through it, flags you so you dont see it again until you get the instance new again. 2. Lets all just land on the planet after we beat the turrents, OK? Spacebarring through the movie 4 times because you have a new ops group in does not make for enjoyment. 3. Speeder bike to get with group is awesome. Why cant it run you up to the chest in the room where each member has to solo a guy once you beat it, since SOA is like.. the BOSS.. and more likely to have multiple wipes. Running from outside gets repetative when you are tired from having done the rest of the zone. 4. Any way to cushion the fall damage when jumping across the platforms in SM? We had two barely geared new to EV healers last night and my mostly Columni geared dps Shadow would loose 50% of his health on two jumps. By the time I took 4, I was at 200 health and had to take my SOLE fight pot just to make the next jump without heals. Next jump I died as I landed. Come on, SM is supposed to be so guys can experience the story and get the gear to do HM, right? I can survive the first level SOA with 100 health never dropping and die on the platforms?

I know the devs said they are looking into this,... but.. come on, I have been reading this since Beta. Its insane that I have 400/400 on my UT, 10K affection with all 6 companions and STILL see 1 mission for fabrics, maybe 1 mission for metals and 4-5 missions for gifts, which would be vendor fodder except I have 4 other low level alts. Of course, they cant use T5 gifts, because their affection is not high enough yet. They need to make it .. what is the phrase they keep using? OH yeah... "adaptive".. so that, when you dont need gifts, they offer less missions for gifts.

I was just wondering if we need to do anything.. like: Cancel all your GTN listings Collect all your emails Pray our servers make it back up. Write down what legacies you currently have Other stuff?

Ok.. what is it with the ticket system? Sometimes, I will have a problem and submit a bug report. I will do something significant and,... I have to submit another ticket to show either I have fixed previous or what I did did not alter the situation. Example. The other day. while grouped, my BH became stuck in a trench on Balmorra. I bugged that I was stuck. (BTW, does your game seriously not record the location in the bug report?) Anyways.. I then tried /stuck.. which did not work. I did /stuck again, which should have killed me. However, my character was actually stuck in a state jumping up and down, so instead, I got a message that I had to wait 120 seconds. Umm Ok.. So, I wait. /stuck again. Nothing. /stuck a fourth time and.. wait 120 seconds. I logged out and back into game... and came back stuck. I had a mob kill me, med driod rezed to .. return still stuck. So, I submitted yet another bug report. Finally, the mob killed me again and I went to medcenter. Mind you, I had a group laughing at my predicament and offerin suggestions the whole time. In the middle of waiting for the second deadly mob attack, a live CS gnome answered my first ticket. Funny thing about being stuck with your character jumping up and down. you cant see the screen because it is faded from you moving. I am afraid I was not very happy at that point and the CS person got an earful, partly because i could read maybe 20 percent of what they wrote. They ended up closing the ticket. By the time the mob killed me the second time, and I rezed to the med center in the adjoining zone, another person answered the second ticket. They refused to listen to the fact that I was unstuck and had rezed. Kept offering to relocate me to Fleet.. which was pointless since I was already dead/medcentered and unstuck and trying to get back to the group that, by this point, had been waiting on me 20 min. I kinda told him I did not have time to talk to him, so he closed the ticket also. He for some reason also directed me to the Suggeestion forum. .. which I expected to be in the CS section, not general. Glad one of the Devs linked it this morning, as i would never have found it. The whole situation was just moronic. What I would have preferred is, when I got unstuck, I was able to put all the issues and ways I tried to fix it with the same first ticket by updating it and that information getting forwarded the devs. Instead, I feel that the CS people just dumped it in the round filing cabinet, the hole/trench I got stuck in will continue to be a trap and no one at SWTOR cares that /stuck did not work there. In case you wondered, I was a beta tester for this game, beta tested releases for Lotro and EQ and am active somewhat on any testing I can. I think bug reports are one of the most useful things Bioware could have.. but are being under/not utilized. From what feedback I get right now, basic information like location, (XYZ coordinates), server, character name and level are not included in the report, which is kinda ridiculous.

Thanks tysuhev . I was gonna do it, but you are even updating your list.. Plus Rep, if they ever get some real forum tools.

Yeah. .I also would like to see more variety in those T6 missions, as really, by the time you are on T6 stuff, you probably already have your companions close to max, so .. why do you need 3 missions out of the five to be companion gifts? On the weird side, in an ops the other night, I noticed I had 3 different missions to get metals.. Whooters.. wonder if the type of area you are in affects your chances.

Seems like I have more of a chance for a Schematic when i run the T6 versions.

Pft.. .the purple stuff, while nice.. is out-leveled too quickly for the anemic returns of the purple mats from missions. I make up to blue level and then sell on the GTN. Heck, my low levels would love to have stuff available to buy, even green trash drops, but those are just not available. People are not posting anything under 45 any more on my server it seems. So. I am being forced to be self-reliant with my 6 guys across factions. I did a search the other day for ear pieces from 1-45 and came back with 3, all STR, useless for my Corso. If your 50 is bored, and you are worried about the economy, get some of the lower level recipes up to blue and sell away. People, as someone above said, crack out their wallet for their 2-3-4-xth alt through so they can level faster with harder mobs without dying.

I can RE orange weapons to get back some of the mats (and if I leave the high level mods in, they RE for level 5 stuff instead of level 1).. which is all Bioware promised. People have been reading into their comments that you would be able to learn the Schematic... they never promised that, just that you can RE them.

Its one of my favorites.. and why my healer scoundrel wishes Corso stil had harpoon, to pull them into kick range since my cover is.. kinda.. not a cool shield to hide behind.
