Umbrex Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Something that I always seem to do is buy microtransaction stuff in a game like SWTOR, then talk to other people and realize I bought stupid stuff. Hoping to get a better feel for the type of content on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocDAM Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 My take: http://www.swtor.com/community/showpost.php?p=8259307&postcount=17 As for the single best use: Rocket Boost. Hands down. Get it via the Going Places Bundle (cheaper AND has other stuff as well). And get the two upgrades which are directly from your Legacy > Global > Other menu.

Get it via the Going Places Bundle (cheaper AND has other stuff as well). And get the two upgrades which are directly from your Legacy > Global > Other menu. This, Rocket boosts (via going places bundle) and the 2 legacy cooldown reductions, just saves time on every character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawDou Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) This Christmas it was snowball cannon. Got much more parcels than with classic snowballs and saved me a lot of time. Before that i used CC mostly just for collections unlocks. Got all legacy unlocks with credits. Edited January 11, 2016 by ShawDou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valahand Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 My best use of CC as of today is on Togruta. Added a female character to my legacy with it, named her Zoe'lara, and made her a Jedi Consular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceWelder Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 You want my take on this? Use it to unlock things in your legacy that matter. More storage, rocket boost, XP gains, companion bonuses, etc. Once that is done, then unlock any items you have in your legacy so that all characters can use them. The absolute last thing I would spend any CC on is decorations and gear. These things you can spend credits on. It may be a whole lot of credits (depending on your server and the item you are interested in) but credits are easy to make in this game. Heck, you can make a small fortune each week just running the weekly heroics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want to argue, but your post makes me wonder why you spend CC for legacy things when you can spend credit for that, when you even say credits are easy to get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldefail Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 With the summon random mount ability now I'd have to say Rocket Boost is hands down the best I bought with CC. I usually buy legacy unlocks with credits, but that one was with CC and the cooldown reductions as well. On a new level 1 character summon random mount becomes a spammable Rocket Boost, making getting around the same starter planets I've seen 20 times already a lot quicker.

Jerqa Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I use my monthly cartel coin grants mostly to unlock items in the collections. That to me is the best use of my coins other than buying the random gift here or there for my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want to argue, but your post makes me wonder why you spend CC for legacy things when you can spend credit for that, when you even say credits are easy to get Reasonable question to ask. The answer rather simple. Some legacy items are only per character if you use credits. Whereas if you use CC, they become legacy bound. For example, character storage can be purchased with credits or CC. But if you use credits, the extra storage is just for the character you spent the credits on. But if you chose to select CC to buy the storage, that storage is now granted to all characters in your legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLordSato Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Definitely the Legacy Unlocks, (Rocket Boost, Ship Unlocks, cooldowns). I do occasionally get Supercrates (950cc) every often and those come with some decent stuff. Other than that, not much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psandak Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Personally I use credits for anything I can when it comes to legacy unlocks, but there are some unlocks that are just too cheap to not use CCs like the companion gift influence increase: 25cc per rank times three ranks = 75cc per character. I spent credits on the popular answer here: rocket boost. At the time, best 2 mil I ever spent. And I did the same thing for mount on the run. When it first came out, my thoughts were "meh, I don't need that." Then one day I decided to just spend the credits (not like I spend my credits on much of anything anyway). Now it's a tie between rocket boost and mount on the run for best investment ever Currently, I spend CCs on a bad habit - changing character appearance. I get bored with facial features of characters so i change them Edited January 11, 2016 by psandak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormis Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 In my opinion, I really like to unlock outfits that I really like or other things in the collection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friedllama Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Personally its definitely Rocket Boost, and quick travel cooldown reductions. Other than that maybe inventory space unlocks with cartel coins so that they are account wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
