I would have to agree there should be two sections to GS obviously if you can tackle harder objectives you would assume a higher reward however give the solo casual guy some way to acquire points other than simply logging in. Let us do heroics repeatedly for the points. And not on rotation but every Daily heroic should give a grant of 1-3 points dependant on difficulty every day! It should just be part of the heroic daily rewards

Edit I read your post apologies I suggest Dark Side Jedi, and find a RP guild best hopes for that

Will never happen here’s why. According to KOTOR your about 4000 years before count Dukoo. Secondly SWTOR is based roughly at 3700 years Before Count Dukoo. So time makes a difference in this game especially with the whole lore and movies and canon of well SW.

Ah ok thanks for clarifying that up for me.

I can understand the free players keep it how it is. However at lvl 1 on a new character I am climbing over 6-7 companions it would be nice to unlock all available companions to fully craft at lvl 10 I think it’s the one thing that has never been looked at fully. Just let us craft if we so choose at lvl 10 it’s still being productive. Just a thought.

Awesome and keep in mind credits are credits at lower prices it gets everyone involved not just the super rich

To be fair I never understood conquest however I thought it’s required for crafting higher tier gear if this requires invasions I am voting on a crafting side a thinks and not personal titles that’s what I was mostly aiming at. Also if you could explain how crafting would relate to conquest I think that the elements of crafting should be attainable by anyone even if solo it have a week or so cool down maybe less for those wanting to access that type of gear.

Lmao I’ll get to work on that!

I’ll be honest I think you should go along with the proposal of low costs vs outrageous. For these reasons it gives free players and pref chances to change. Also low costs means that people can change consecutively on the fly at a whimsicle decision which in effect would delete more credits than high costs in the long run

Just saying Size of the Jawa needs to happen!!!

Cool! I’ll be honest when I say if any race needs an intro it should be a SMALL race Yoda/Jawanese size please!!

I think that small guilds especially those with 1-8 people never get the chance to play conquest which is a shame. They definitely need to revamp the required amount of people needed with how many small guilds there are even if it’s as small as one person let at least this one person acquire an outpost or something for a small guild to gain some kind of points…

Ceryxp was the one who suggested it in my threads here. https://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=994071 Personally I think it’s an amazing idea. For many reasons 😎

You should add this to an official suggestion thread I think it’s a really good idea! And most likely not the only one who agrees!

Wow!! That is a really good idea!!

I see what you are all saying but perhaps the balance just isn’t fully developed yet. It’s possible that with a gathering nerf and prices rising it’s a good time to switch your platform from crafting to gethering in the short term? Perhaps gather enough you give other people demanding to spend on these mats a break there is nothing wrong with selling a stack of upari crystals ( if that’s your intentions ) to fund your Legendary embers you need. Look at it this way you helping someone else at a lower price and they are helping you afford stuff you need. With a high end cash flow at some point you will want to get something you want which was what the game needs to develop more rewards from that are sold Via high end credits and if they are unwilling to fully unlock the GS with that intention perhaps they can do it with older content somehow perhaps in the form of rolling Cartel Unlocks for accounts. Here is an example/suggestion a NPC Vender has on rotation every account wide unlock for sale upwards of 100,000,000 credits but those who can afford it would need to subscribe for those months they want the unlocks. The dev team has the brain power, I hope to find ways to bring the credits floating around the servers down its just a matter of implementing something Another example is the casino coming in the summers event should be permanent with a lot higher end exclusive prizes such as penthouses on NarShadaa or other planets real estate is always a good win. It’s all a matter of implementation. Edit: another good credit sink would be having collections unlock able with large amounts of credits the opportunity are there but they need to implement them

Yeah I know but spending 15 minutes to an hour waiting and watching items gives you enough knowledge to know be patient and watch prices to just run up to the GTN see an inflated price and rage I mean I see prices on every item have a lowball price it isn’t hard to watch and just take your time if that is an item you need.. right? It’s like running into Walmart seeing a watermelon for 99cents raging at the clerk the prices are outrageous and running out… most people today wait for a lower price. If it’s not in there budget.

I am looking at prices now I mean a stack of normal mats sell for next to nothing the price it costs to take the time to gather those mats are nearly as low as some of the suggested default prices most the time people add like 1 0 to the default pricing so my Question is what are you smoking that these mats are unaffordable?? Edit: also it’s simple math if mats are high sell those mats until prices drop it’s not rocket science. Lustrous blue crystals 800 stack is currently 59,200 74Credts each… Upari Crystals 7k each guess what people do? Sell the dang Upari stock up on other mats

So let me get this straight then, your entire beef is you only buy exclusively off the GTN but are morally outraged at the prices because you refuse to use the GTN as a tool for selling at other peoples “market” prices? If it bothers you that much regardless of how long it takes you to gather you should still gather if making a profit morally bothers you in the first place. After all you are feeding those people credits that you are against paying it really makes no sense to me that you seem entitled to tout your unrealistic sense of morals because you in fact use the GTN for your own purposes of cutting time. I mean if you have all the crafting gathers set on rotation there is absolutely 0 need to bother with the GTN. Edit: basically what I’m summing up for you is if you intentions are to run heroics for buying things on the GTN you will be utterly disappointed, heroics are not meant to farm for items on the GTN if you want to buy high end stuff from the GTN sadly you need to actually use the GTN as it’s intended to be used as a “market” for “buying” AND “SELLING” Just so you know… As for not being around a while on the credit sinks if there are other ways to drop the drastic inflation then please offer up a suggestion to something that works.

This guide should just get stickied so it doesn’t get necrod and others who have figured it out without using a guide don’t repost the same idea. It works it’s easy. Self sustaining characters with gear and credits in the game isn’t difficult.

If your only doing normal missions for crafting you are doing it wrong you need to do slicing missions as well you need all the crafting characters I stated below the part you edited out with slicing without slicing your crafting will be gimped and you will be forced to use the GTN the part you decided to edit out makes you roughly 90-99% self sufficient without ever needing the GTN also who cares what prices are some people have a hard time making credits obviously so do you so you can put away the jaded chip on your shoulder and use some advice get some slicers mixed in with your crafting…

Just wanted to put this as off topic thread so people know where to look incase they are having a tough time earning credits, also having 8 characters isn't totally necessary it can be done with as little as 2-4 slots to start. I really hope this helps new players as well as those who have been playing for a while and cant find that one thing to accomplish for credit earning. Enjoy Ok got to thinking. people think prices are too high across the board? I can fix that for people struggling to make credits. Things Required: 8 characters slots - 8 level 10 character's each character must have 1 gathering skill and one crew mission i.e. treasure hunting etc. and all characters must take slicing. so each character has slicing and all 8 characters cover all the gathering skills and crew missions such as treasure hunting and UWT etc. get all skills to 700, with slicing don't sell the bonus missions you get, this is important to remember, you get between 1-8 Embers and legendary mats with them... That is what you are mostly after, However sell all other materials as well... Lastly depending how many people follow this if any. market will tank a bit. simply run another few characters feed them for crafting and research all schematics. Place all Artifact gear on the market. rinse repeat with characters depending on sales. never worry about gear again or credits. its simple and after a while you can deco your Strongholds to enjoy them while crafting. So if this helps anyone even one person then ill call this short guide in making credits a success this also doesn't take a long time to take care of even for the most causal players. be proactive with it and enjoy. Side note: get companions to rank 50 and use the reroll on gear for efficiency you want to Crit those slicing missions you get as well get them done as fast as possible...

There are a lot of easy ways to earn credits from not playing the GTN but at some point using the GTN doesn't mean the same thing as playing it. For my original thread seeing credit sinks are a good thing, you don't need to use the CC market to make money regardless of what anyone tells you. If you think that is the only way to make millions you are just feeding the machine. Also I am not going to point out how simple it is because if you don't know well, just keep playin the game at some point you will figure it out. I do not have billions of credits however I can still get anything I want from the GTN I desire without needing to pay for CC items or play a "Market", all because I played the game from launch, Subscribed for six years and I know the game. Regardless if you think credit sinks are good or not, its better to pay for the Ranks in GS and CC items from the GTN with credits than it is to pay real money.

Yeah I hit the catch up with credits now it wants CC, oh well. And like you there are just a few items that I would like from the Venders. What I do like though is the fact that 258 is under a million it is kind of a boon to any preferred player with artifact gear. When I was playing as preferred I really didn’t miss much but wanted at least the first seasons worth of items as a subscriber. Then unlock all the legacy gear in the collections. After that I am not sure if I will stay subscribed or not. The main reason for me is pulling a full legacy set out of collections. But I still See opportunity for the Cartel Items Tanking from this however other items in the GTN will still be worth quite a bit. It’s a shame though I mean if it was 100% unlocked with credits then yeah I could see it doing what was my Hopes at least. Oh well. I have said it before and I’ll say it again they should sell CC Tokens and Sub time Tokens in the store for people to trade on the GTN put them at 1 month time or 2000CC or better yet put them on a NPC for the max amount of credits possible 2B? The latter would see credits purged from The servers Lol

Uh, I make it rain credits and I know I’ll be deleting a lot from the servers I’ll be more than happy to get free levels. So at least one guy who has no need for credits will be using “Pandora’s box” Lol Edit: To note I managed to get a Masterwork Ancient initiative package from a pvp box, so I was curious it’s rating was 258 and I did check the GTN only one for sale for 1m… not sure if that is the current top Irating but it seems pretty dang cheap for a 258…
