ChaoticDynamite Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 So I'm flat out broke with my main sitting on about 370,000 credits plus all my alts with about 200,000 total which puts me at a total of 570,000 credits. You see this lack of credits does not come from excessive spending just when I hit 50 didn't give myself a good head start which in term led to a drop of credits over a certain amount of time. So is anyone else in the same boat? Basically I'm broke don't understand all these credit sinks everywhere and wonder if some of you also have this credit problem.

DaWaffle Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 You have 570,000 credits... And you consider yourself broke? I'd kill for that many credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimex Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 You should take up crew skills and play the GTN as soon as possible. Trust me, I got characters who made their first mil by lvl 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoshiRaphElan Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 IMO, if you have a rank 3 speeder, good gear for you and at least 2 companions, and your skills fairly near the top...at that point I stop spending credits, so 570,000 would be more than enough.

happysister Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Simply do the daily quests... you'll have plenty of credits in no time. this. BH dailies give you at least 100k. i think Section X gives around that much too. forgot how much Belsavis and Ilum dailies give, but back before Section X, you could make about 350k in one day just by doing BH, Ilum, and Belsavis dailies.

morningstation Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) Doing Blackhole (just under 80K), Belsavis (North and south) (around 150k), Section X (somewhere between 70-90K), and Ilium (70-80k), and your space daily I think 100k)....My estimations may be off you can make between 450-500k per day in under 3 hours per lvl 50 character.

jacobtee Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I had to combine all of my toons funds so I could get one of those new tython saber hilts for my fresh guardian to use. Now all of my toons are broke. I ended up using up all of my CC and never got one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionamaster Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I used to be pretty broke. Did dailies, (surprisingly, killing mobs for about an hour on Corellia and looting them for creds/gear to sell makes a decent amount of money) did Flashpoints and Ops, recently sold a Black Market Cartel Pack on the GTN for 400k, Now i'm at 950k or so. You'll get there, don't worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraithe_Oza Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 (Please don't take this as bragging) My highest is 36 (BH) and I have many, many alts. Most of which have taken all of the crafting professions (with exception of the one that makes stims and meds and such 'Biotech'?) With lucky drops being on the low end of the totem pole, most of my income has come from crafting. I just went over four million credits. Selling low end starship parts, droid parts, my purple recipes in the crafts I have, have paid off. I shunt all my money to one character, as well as all the gathered resources (a few of my alts are just pure gatherers) You would be surprised at how much some specific mats are worth. I'm patient and smart about trends. With the Cartel Market, there are alot of empty slots to fill in gear. I'm quite happy to supply them to the masses. Crafting made me money, I guess I'm one of the MMO people who go that route. It's fun. Also what everyone else said about the zones, dailies ect.

I have about 500k spread across all my characters (8 total). That's only because I haven't been doing dailies lately and I haven't put any effort into crew skills yet (boooring). Do dailies, 300k a day or thereabouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feindseligkeit Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 If you have multiple 50's the easiest thing to do is Ilum dailies. I think I can normally run everything in right around 20 minutes per toon (soloing darkness). So 400k in an hour and 20 minutes. Next is black hole, same 20 minutes for ~80k each. I vendor all greens and gtn all blues, and I think I've gotten 3 schems for magenta crystals in the 3 months I've been doing this which can be sold for ~400k each on my server. Another thing is to play the GTN. There's plenty of people who sell 340 crafting missions for 4320 (default price). If it's slicing or underworld trading, you can resell for almost 10x that. There are plenty of items going up for the default price, you just have to be looking for them. There's tons of ways to make credits in this game, you just have to look for it. Another possibility is grab around 6 people (columi or so) and kill the first 9 or 10 trash groups in TFB. It'd take you maybe 20 minutes and net 35-40k and possibly a stabalizer (~200k).

Selvec Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 It honestly depends on your servers economy, which is why I have a bone to pick with Biowares pricing scheme, which seems to be based off the old fatman and its high pop economy. See, servers with less players, like Gav Daragon on Oceania for example, have a poorer economy. Example, 750,000 on Gav Daragon is a LOT of money, and not easily gained. Simply because the market lacks Sellers and Customers to feed the money through. So for something like the legacy items which can cost in the millions, it's damned near impossible to earn the money easily, and you generally don't want to drop a cool million on something that is just a show off item.

Loryk Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I'm a fairly fresh 50 and have 1.5+ million creds. Do some dailies as they're like 7k - 11k for not much work. Also, GTN things like scavenged materials. If you collect enough, you can get massive amounts of credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it matters what server you're on, the fact that you have to grind out legacy level 20 and spend almost a mil credits to get cool, exclusive looking deal is kind of silly in my opinion. Your dues should have been paid already when you hit legacy 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonarthDark Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I got 50k from an operation and i got one piece of loot, it took an hour to get a random group but, i would KILL for your money right now and i have barely 30k with a 50 and two 20s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khevar Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I was always short on money until my leveling experience with Scavenging / Slicing / Underworld Trading. Gather scavenging mats and slicing boxes in the wild, run UT missions at every opportunity. Then sell everything on the GTN. At level 45 with over 1 million. I would recommend using some of the profits to get your companions to level 8000 affection. It costs about 100k worth of level 1 and level 2 gifts. This increases their crit chance by +4% for the UT missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bahdasz Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) I really don't see why this is a big deal. I have 4 lvl 50's and I doubt I ever have more than about 300k between them at any one time. If I need money for something I just do a dailies until I have enough for what I want and then I'm good. Money is easy to get, and rarely needed after you hit 50. I'd shutter to think of what you think you need that you can't aford, tbh. Another way to make money... do mid-level heroics and sell the items you get on the GTN... cha-ching. I do the heroics sometimes just for fun and sell the stuff at a lower price than everyone else just to help out leveling players, it's nothing to make 100-200K of the GTN with loot from just a few heroics.
