Riggz Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Hey I'm currently a level 44 Sith Warrior Juggernaut. I'm having an issue with keeping a good storage of credits in my account. I was wondering if there are any get rich quick schemes are if there is a way for me to start making money. I had roughly 100k and the speeder two ability but I spent all my money on gear from the GTN and now I'm broke. Any advice on how to get soem money would be appreciated. (p.s yes I'm new to MMO's so I'm looking for some friendly player advice and would appreciate not being flammed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only gear i would ever buy is top level modable gear. Making money in this game is stupidly simple i dont see how anyone could ever not have money.

SamuraBob_Fl Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 You could probably solo BT for money. Other than that, I'd recommend not buying much gear on the GTN. I stayed geared up the whole time while leveling by getting orange quest rewards and putting in quest reward mods or ones I crafted. Also, you get a fair chunk change just by regular questing.

nsaucdiv Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I spent all my money on gear from the GTN This right here is your problem. There is literally ZERO reason to buy any gear in this game prior to hitting 50, even then there's not much reason to. Quest rewards and putting commendation-purchased mods/enhancements/etc into orange gear will keep you well-geared through your entire levelling experience.

UrielTenken Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I spent all my money on gear from the GTN This is your problem. If you quest and don't spend money on anything extraneous, you'll have plenty of money fast enough. Otherwise, it's all about playing the market. Figure out what people want, and how to give it to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUnNamedHero Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Don't waste money on GTN gear and spam the space game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PjPablo Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Some hints: Never buy gear on GTN. You get what you need from quests, FPs, comms, etc Hold off on crew skills until max level. One, they cost creds and two, they will change over time and what looks good today might not be tomorrow. See slicing, biochem, cyber Do all quests and kill EVERYTHING between objectives When selling items on GTN look at what similar items are selling for so you can price accordingly. Don't just accept the default price. Do that and you will make more than enough creds. Edited January 21, 2012 by PjPablo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Do quests, sell greys, stop buying stuff. I bought an upgrade every so often but prior to 50 I was VERY frugal about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matteis Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Stop wasting your money on stuff off the GTN, gear comes too often from quests and rewards and drops to waste precious monetary resources on acquiring - unless you're a 50 trying to gear up for tougher content.

Riggz Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 So what I need to do is to cease buying gear off of the GTN and find some good orange gear from either PvP vendors with warzone commendations or get orange gear from quest gear and simply keep it modded well, and quest and pvp for credits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange gear stats are completely 100% dependent on the pieces you place in them, so you can use literally any piece of orange gear in a given slot and as long as you put good mods in it you're good to go. If you're level 44 without fully or almost fully orange gear, I'd say something is terrible wrong. From about mid-20s on, if not earlier, your head/chest/legs/feet/weapon should all be orange.

Riggz Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Most of my gear is not orange but my health stats aren't bad for my level. I have 12.6k health right now and I'm a tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
