MasterJediJDS Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Thought it would be nice to hear how others make credits to get thinks like the VIP wrist bands and speeders. People could give tips and then learn new credit making skills.
Jett-Rinn Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I make decent money by gathering missions and savaging anything in sight.
Orizuru Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Most of my credits come from dailies. Between the repeatable quests on Ilum and Belsavis alone there is a good chunk of credits to be made each day. If you can get groups to do the heroics and the daily HM and PVP stuff as well then you should be able to bring in about 200-250k per day.
MasterJediJDS Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 I do that too, I also found that slicing crew skill can make a decent amount of credits too, if you send companions with a lot of affection for you.
elvavwiel Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Slicing, the crit/main stat purple/blue augments sell decently, not to mention just doing the lockbox repeatables you can get a random bonus mission schematic of which some sell for 20-40k.

But how much of the day are you talking about? 6 hours or more?
DeltaEkotte Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Only really open to 50's and near 50's, but Ilum dailies. Each daily gives around 10k-16k each. 50 PvP/HM dailies/weeklies also give out nice sums of credits. I know I'm giving advice that is only good for 50's but, if you get a good HM group (IMHO good = gear+skill+voice chat for faster communication) going and you can manage not do die too many times you can bring in credits that way also.

Some sell for 20k, wow im selling things to cheap then. But on GTN under priced things sell alot faster than higher priced items
DarthTHC Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 1) Stop spending credits on optional items. Buying gear from the GTN while leveling is optional. Buying one speeder and speeder training at the level intervals you can do so is not optional. 2) Take gathering crew skills. Process nodes while you're out in the worlds. Sell stuff you gathered on the GTN. 3) Avoid crew skills that produce stuff until you're at the level of cash you're comfortable with, then invest cautiously by reinvesting profit only. This will change slightly when 1.2 is released: 2.5) Take mission skills that produce goods that are in demand. You'll need to research this for your own server. Run the missions, sell the stuff, profit.
Orizuru Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 But how much of the day are you talking about? 6 hours or more? I can do all the solo stuff in about 45 minutes. HM BT if I'm in a hurry takes about 30 minutes for a quick run, 45-55 if we have someone who won't use the spacebar. It's hard to say how long it takes to get 3 wins in warzones though because that takes a little bit of luck unless you are rolling in pre-mades. Even if you don't do the group stuff you can still make about 100k a day without spending more than an hour playing. More if you use your professions wisely. You have to be willing to invest a little bit of time though if you want to make money. How much time you invest is entirely up to you.
JediElf Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Take Slicing, and slice until you can slice no more. Every spare moment send any crew member thats not fighting with you, to go and Slice something, send the droid out at all times, just keep slicing because the more you build it up the better your rewards are. Also sell every single bit of gear that you don't need. Someone else will need it and it's a good and fast way to make credits. Also sell any profession quests that you find along the way, they sell for 500+ credits and they sell quickly. Ohh also try and get at least one alt on Biochem and make medpacks for all of your characters, it saves money and the medpacks are far more powerful than the ones you can buy from the med bot. ..and that's how I make my credits.

If you send a companion that has a high affection toward you on slicing you can get a lot more credits in the lockboxes then a normal companion will get you.

Guess your leveled pretty high cause I can’t even make 50k in 3 hours. Im only level 25.
Reviled Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 My 50 Mara makes 100k a day just doing the space missions...boreing but easy...
Skodan Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Guess your leveled pretty high cause I can’t even make 50k in 3 hours. Im only level 25. 50k in 3 hours is pretty good at level 25. you wont be spending much on anything except for training skills, you should be spending comms on upgrading gear, not credits or just from quest rewards
Stovokor Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 More tips from another thread on pre-50 and level 50 money making endeavours http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=3542183#post3542183
Kelzack Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Well for my server, selling xonolite is the way to go since no one seem to farm them. Other than that, do your dailys, that's about 400k a day.
Gawlron Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Most of my credits come from dailies.

If you can get groups to do the heroics and the daily HM and PVP stuff as well then you should be able to bring in about 200-250k per day. This is how I make most of my credits, and picking up everything - selling junk, and selling stuff on the GTN.
ExpectWar Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 i bought the tirsa prime speeder for 1.5m each on all 3 of my characters along with maxing out biochem threw the auction house. i still have 500K+ on all of them. and do you know how?.... WARZONES!! having fun playing warzones doing dailys gets you A LOT of credits!
DarthDemens Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 But how much of the day are you talking about? 6 hours or more? I spend a grand total of about 3 hours doing all the Space and Ilum/Belsavis dailies. That gets me about 275k credits. If I ever decide to be completely insane, I'll do it on both of my 50s in 1 day. I prefer to spend more time leveling alts, though.
