Lightmaguz Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Pretty straightforward huh? I have a biochem alt who didn't get his diplomacy up yet and would get Slicing up if it was still worth it, thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbowler Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I think so, yes. I just hit 50 a couple of nights ago and have been finishing up Corellia (sp). Between slicing what credit boxes are out in the open, and sending 4-5 companions on level 41-48 I have made a ton of credits. The real money I have found is from the purple missions that I get. I have probably gotten 28-30 of them in the last 4 days. While I only make a 20% profit on the actual credit case, I make a huge profit on the purple missions. The 4 slicing ones have sold for 75k credits each, and the others sell from 15-35k. Easy bank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokota Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Definitely, especially with high companion affection. If you have high companion affection, and you run the grade 5 rich missions, then you're going to see crits that can return blue lockboxes in the 4-8k range. Even though you're going to see a lot of net losses, with returns below what the mission cost, the crits make up for it. Lockboxes are secondary, however. I don't even look when I open them anymore, unless they're blue. The real reason to run Slicing constantly is the unlocked mission items you can get with a critical. Depends on your server, but the level 340 ones all sell for a nice profit (except Investigation). A couple of them list in the 25k+ range. It's even better if you can use them. From a level 340 Underground Trading mission unlock, I usually get about 50k worth of materials. The more mission skills you have on your alts, the more Slicing pays off. That's not to mention how nice of a gathering skill it is. The lockboxes you find in the wild aren't usually all that much, but on some planets they can add up fast. I often end up with a full inventory before I know it. Just doing daily quests at level 50, I can usually pick up an extra 10-20k from grabbing all the lockboxes I come across. Of course, I open my map constantly, and keep "resources" checked, so that's probably more than some other people end up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
