Red_Eye_Jedi_ Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Hello everyone, quick question! I hear allot of people speaking of how they managed to make their millions 'easily' through Dailys. I've got 3 main toons, a 47, 35 and a 30, I could probably rustle up around 2million from each, I'm just wondering what Dailys people are referring to exactly? Do these come at 55 or before hand? Thanks!
ApostleThirst Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 You can get 2 million as a 30 easily? BS. Most people are refering to the dailies in the Black Hole, Section X, Makeb, and CZ-198.

Mirmirmi Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 (edited) People are referring to the dailies available at level 50 and beyond - I'm not aware of any daily missions below that level save for any repeatable heroic missions on questing planets. At level 50, you gain access to Corellia's Black Hole, Belsavis (Section X and regular zones), and Ilum. At level 55, you gain access to CZ-198 and Makeb's various daily missions. You also have available GSI dailies, unique terminals found on Alderaan, Tatooine, Hoth, and Makeb. I can't remember off-hand if these are level 55 dailies or if the missions correspond to the level of the planet. I tend to lean towards thinking they are level 55 dailies. You also have a level 50 daily space mission you can do. As well as daily PvP and group finder mission rewards. Edited August 18, 2013 by Mirmirmi

How does one get 2 million credits as lvl 30 aside from selling CM items on the GTN or farming secuirty chests in a single day?
Grayseven Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Short answer, you don't. My 22 Smuggler only had 10 million credits because he was my GTN monkey, not because he was running dailies. If you run all the available dailies on one level 55 toon you could probably pull in close to 500k credits, but the amount of time this would take is significant as you would be running Ilum, Black Hole, Section X, Makeb, GSI and CZ-198. I'm honestly not sure of the exact credit payout because I can not bring myself to run that many dailies at one time, I'm making a SWAG. Suffice it to say that a level 30 character is not going to make any credits running dailies.
chadsford Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 I'm thinking he meant if he consolidated his credits from his 3 toons, not 2 mil on each. At least I hope that's what he meant. Still a bit of a stretch.

I run CZ, Section X and Makeb, making about 400k, but yes, that is a significant time sink. With Weeklys and the Black Hole, it's more like 650k. I measure these things because I buy stuff for my GF who enjoys SWTOR... and also rapidly draining my credits Edited August 18, 2013 by ApostleThirst

Nooooooo, I mean if I was to round up all credits from all three of my main toons it would be around 2mil.
Nickious Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Nooooooo, I mean if I was to round up all credits from all three of my main toons it would be around 2mil. I don't think you'll be able to gather much money from your 2 lower level alts of 30 and 35. Most of your money would be gather by your 47. What your best doing is if your really focused on gathering credits is to level that 47 toon to at least 50 and go through the dailies of Ilum, Section X, Black hole. Try to finish the Makeb storyline as soon as possible that way you can start on the dailies for there. Also make sure to grab the macro-binocular and seeker droid missions and go to Dromund Kass to just talk to the mission giver and thats it. You can now begin the GSI missions, which on Makeb are conveniently the locations of the Makeb Dailies as well.
Alec_Fortescue Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) OP, don't listen to them. It's a poppycock. Dailies are a bonus to their main income from crafting. Unless you're farming rep, in my opinion dailies are not worth it. They take few hours a day and each quest yields from 9k to 13k (approx). It takes 1-2 hours+ on one character to do enough of them to grab 200k. You can add junk and loot but it's not much really. And then add repairs. However being smart and making a plan (go dulfy.net) of which dailies to do in order to get most basic commendations (or credits) a day while spending least possible time can turn out to be quite an extra profit. Right now Isos are going down but it's still 100k extra per 35 Basic Comms spent on the Vial of Isotope-5 which you can later sell or craft expensive stuff out of it! Smart crafting (know which mod/enh/armoring to sell at the right time) can get you few million a day (4 items sold is not happening that often anymore but it's still realistic) if you're willing to log every now and then and undercut people. Investing in this stuff takes lots of credits (because you can't rely on a single schematic!) and it won't return itself if you're not willing to log in at least 4 times a day to do some undercutting. When it was possible to do best in slot gear I didn't do dailies because crafting was far easier, faster and enjoyable =] Makeb and GSI missions are horrible because of the scale and range of those environments. Hoth, Alderaan, Makeb and Tatooine are huge and take significant amount of time spent on traveling itself! I was seriously stagnant over the last year but I am back to power crafting in October. Imo it's pointless to do dailies for money. Just treat it as an extra to your reputation grind. I don't know what's it gonna be in the next patch, but right now it was really nice to combine (which I didn't do sadly) reputation grind with dailies giving basic commendations. You had your rep up and basic commendations you could spend on crafting materials. Crafted gear would fetch you million+ instead of spending a million first on materials and then hoping to sell the product for a few hundred thousand profit. Good days, charging a million for crafting a Resolve hilt 27. Just two guys on the server with a price fixed. In conclusion: Dailies are a huge and boring timesink. Only do them repeatedly if you're interested in reputation and items. Once maxed out / got item you wanted leave them and move on to another rep grind... Or whatever you want to do! You can keep on doing dailies if you're into it... That's less crafters and farmers - better for me =] There are better and faster ways of getting credits. Even if you're not a gtn monkey (practice I truly hate) you can easily get all your alts to level 50 and farm raw materials and it can fetch you two millions a day if you have enough characters! Since you haven't even reached level 55 on any of your characters, you should not worry about making credits yet. In fact, you having 2 million from pre 50 toons means you're not having problems with money =] Anything game asks you for - you can afford. Edited August 19, 2013 by Alec_Fortescue

Good days, charging a million for crafting a Resolve hilt 27. Just two guys on the server with a price fixed. Problem is that OP more than likely does not have the resources, schematics, or the credits to support high level crafting that would yield such millions, which is why he was asking about making money through dailies. You need money to make money. I won't be able to rake in the same as I would be selling high level modifications but it is a good start iff you have nothing stand. I made at least a million and sometimes close to 2 million a day between doing dailies and taking security chests. Not the most fun I had in a long time but I see as a grinds toward a better future for my characters. On a related note, since you seem to be one who seems to make his millions by means of crafting, do you happen to know what stuff sells of the Cybertech stuff? Seems like the amount of investment I have to put toward getting Underworld purple materials doesn't seem worth it. Edited August 19, 2013 by Nickious

Even if you're not a gtn monkey (practice I truly hate) you can easily get all your alts to level 50 and farm raw materials and it can fetch you two millions a day if you have enough characters! please excuse the edit Alec, I only plan to address the above points. while it's true each mission yields approx 9k to 13k. each daily section yields approx 90k to 120k per run. some a little more some a little less (vendor trash, mob credit drops, mission rewards). I run - Black Hole Illum Belsavis Section X takes roughly 2 hours to complete and I net roughly 500k to 550k every time I run just those 4 daliies. plus the comms and the rep points and the very rare useful gear drop. fyi, repairs are a minor expense and are included in my 'net' income claim. going to Dulfy.net to learn which dailies earn the most and what order to do them is great advice. I agree completely. as far as other ways to quickly earn credits? there's no doubt that there are many ways to do that. it completely depends on what the individual enjoys doing. I craft a bit, no where near as much as I use to and I find mat farming to be about as boring as watching paint dry at this point ( again, individual taste ). I run the dailies for the combat to try out new spec's/builds and to group with other high lvl players, plus I can earn a decent little bank roll for a couple hours game time and use the comms to gear my comps. bottom line, dailies can be a lot of fun and a nice way to earn creds. however, if all you do is 'grind' dailies it can get 'really' boring 'really' fast. my advice is to mix it up. run dallies, craft, mat farm, FP's, Op's.... ect. and find what works for you. there are a many ways to make lots of creds in this game. find out which ways work for you. (the 'you' in my post is a general 'you' and not directed at any individual - ) (<<<Pedantic? yes. but feeling rather ocd atm - ) good luck -

Seems like the amount of investment I have to put toward getting Underworld purple materials doesn't seem worth it. just my two cents, as a cyber tech, low to mid lvl mods and armor (blues and purples) also, low to mid lvl earpieces and ship parts. for starters at least. they (mods/armor) cost a few hundred creds to make and can earn up to 7000 creds per sale ( the mods can and do earn that for me ). look for niches that offer a good profit margin. it's the margin that can make the difference. best of luck -
Alec_Fortescue Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) Black Hole Illum Belsavis Section X Sure you might get 500k from those but it's around 2 hours for an average solo player. 20-30 minutes per area if you're fast enough or have a party. 2 hours for 500k is far too long while you can spend approximately 70 minutes and earn million + just by logging in 8 times a day and using companions to run missions of only 5 characters. What sells when you're a cybertech? Obviously mods which are not found in the gear you can get from commendations (or are in expensive pieces) and which are best in slot for most popular raiding classes. Deft Mod 31 for example, or endurance (B versions) heavy mods for tanks. Marauders need deft mods, especially after crit became worthless. They need nine (!!!) of them and it would take really long to gather enough commendations so they're not really that hesitant with throwing credits away to get geared quickly. It's this stuff you gotta think about when thinking of what to discover/craft next. Is this modification best in slot? Is it hard to get it because it's not in the commendation gear? Do little or none of the people on the server craft it? Is there a large market for this type of modification? (see which classes you see most in end-game operations) Is it not too late to learn it because of the amount of competition or new tier coming out? If answered "yes" to most questions then do it. Or just go with it and learn anything usable, like me, because you're crazy... Edited August 19, 2013 by Alec_Fortescue
Master-Nala Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Don't know if anyone mentioned it yet, but you can start the older dailies on Belsavis and Ilum at 47 and it's a very quick way to get to 50 and start on gearing.
LordArtemis Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Illum seems to have the best payout. You run about 70 to 100k for each set of dailys on average, some take longer than others. Illum takes about 20 to 30 minutes, taking your time at level 55. You can add in Makeb (more time, less money), Black Hole and Section X (too many adds, not enough of a payout), but generally I just stick to Illum.
NerdTech Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Mix it up is my advice... at lvl 55 do section-x, illum, black hole, cz-198 and the makeb dailies (with a friend if possible), GSI dailies that can net u around 600-700k, then when you can't get anymore gear from basic comms buy some isotopes and sell them on GTN (140k a pop on my server) add in some chest farming and crew skills and you can make easily over 1m creds a day... it is a time sink but if you want to be rich you have to work for it
