jaxxxster Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Just subbed back again to play some wz's and lvl my 2 toons from 50 to 55. Enjoyed the bracket, and lvling, the pvp was actually fun. I hit level 55 and bam Im screwed. Not so much with actual gear, saved and maxed all my coms, blah blah and bought conq implants, relics and some partisian. Then it hits me.....after buying my level ups on my abilities, and only doing warzones, I had less than 300k credits. I cant even afford to buy the augment slots, let alone the augments themselves!! So how do i come up with 1 million credits just to start augmenting and maxing gear when i get 7k on a winning warzone?? LOL.....I have to grind now for credits just to be able to grind for more gear?? Gear should be a grind but not credits at this high lvl at endgame. Protip Bioware: Most of us are broke and scrounge for money in real life, and its not fun to play a video game where your broke too Please dont tell me I need to go pve or run operations........How does everyone afford this stuff without playing 24/7 a day?
Gren-Aluren Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) Do dailies in CZ-128 or whatever it's called. It's has good OWPVP action on PvP servers and it takes about 15-25 mins to do them even if you engage a couple punks in PvP. Edited August 17, 2013 by Gren-Aluren
Warshades Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Well there is good news and bad news.... Good news......credits are EXTREMELY easy to farm for. Bad news.....PvP is not the way to do it. On this one your best to bite the bullet and do some PvE. If you do it right, You only need to do it once every level increase. First, dont actually wear your PvP gear...unless you are rich and like the look. Better to go to the GTN or your vault and different planet merchants and what not to find a set of gear that really speaks to you visually. It must be moddable. Next, pull the pvp mods out of pvp gear and put it into the modable gear. This way you only need to augment one set. And everytime you get a better set you just swap mods. Costs you 30kish to swap mods, will costs you around 115k to swap augments from one set to the next. Unfortunately your earpieces.Implants and relics will need to be remodded the expensive way, so buy these first and augment these last. Remember that 2.4 brings new gear so dont waste money you dont have augmenting conq gear unless you got all your modable gear already augmented. Now for making money.... If your a stealther, run chests on Makeb. Average about 400k per hour. 3 hours and you should be able to fully augment your gear. If your a nonstealther, run dailies. Pick up slicing and slice every chest you see. On Makeb a chest is normally worth about 2.5k and can be worth as much as 15k. When I run MaKeb dailies I usually slice as much money as I make doing the dailies. Each daily is worth about 8k and can usually be done in less than 10 mins. Sometimes you can do multiple dailies in the same area. Same with CZ. There are also alternative ways to make money. Just to break the monotony. Farm for Seeker droid chests. A chest could drop 3 of the grade 10 purple crafting pieces, which sell for 500-750k a piece. One dig could make you over 1.5 mil...but sometimes its like playing the lottery...sometimes you get crap. You can also use your basic comms to buy Isotope-5 which can sell upwards to 150k. When I need quick cash I just sell those for easy money. And you get those from dailies and SM FPs. If all you want to do is PvP, pick up slicing and send out your comp for the grade 9 purple slice tech part. 25k a piece on the GTN. And you dont have to do anything but send your pets out every hour or so. Admittidly this is a slow method but keeps you PvPing. Running HM FPS and selling the junk loot including the exotic grade 10 blue crafting pieces (20k) can be a fun break from PvP sometimes and yield you good money, be careful though cause if you get a bad group, your repair bill will eat away at your money aswell.
jaxxxster Posted August 17, 2013 Author Posted August 17, 2013 Awww Warshades, your awesome man:) Thx for the tips, muchly appreciated. I like the sounds of the Makeb chest runs as I'm a stealther. No idea what it is yet but I'll look into it tommorrow and start farming credits. Sigh. Right now its easier for me to get pvp gear than it is the credits to pimp them out:p
Warshades Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 If my math is right, there are 29 chests hidden on Makeb, some zones have as many as 7, while other zones may only have 1. They respawn every 30 mins. So you just find the greatest number of chests you can farm in 30 mins, and then be back at the first one before it respawns, then repeat the same path you did earlier. There are some videos on where the chests are, I wont sit here and tell you about it cause it would take more time then I have. And learning them is half the battle.

And i'd bet that their are plenty of other farmers waiting on ur Chests kills to right.??
