Thanks a lot for the pointers! Question, what's the best way to get +crit on my companion? Is it to get my affection with them to a certain level? and the best way to do that would be to give them gifts right?

Please enlighten, the zoning trick? And is there absolutely no way to get new missions at level 400 besides buying the one-time missions from the market?

Situation: At level 400 Slicing and at the moment I only have Moderate and Abundant level missions for the highest level bracket of missions. Question: How do you acquire/learn Rich, Bountiful, and Prosperous missions while at level 400? Should I just continue running the yellow and green missions at the highest level and hope that one turns up? Should I just run lower level missions that net a nice profit?
