Been looking for a complete guide on how to raise your Companions Affection? Well I've got you covered! I did some research and wrote down every single rank 5 companion gift that you can get from Diplomacy and Underworld Trading. From there I made it a simple process to see which of your Companions likes what.

You can check this guide out on my website:

I've also got an Underworld Trading guide up if you are looking to gather these Companion Gifts either for yourself or to sell (The rank 5 gifts sell pretty much all the time on the Auction House, netting about an extra 300 - 500 Credits than what the mission to get it costed.)

Just got done a total revamp of my companion guides for the Empire. Pretty pictures have been added to every one of their pages to help players use the guides...

Greetings-

Another trick to maxing out companion affection quickly is purchasing 4-6k worth of rank 1 gifts when they first join you. This will bring their affection up to ~4000 (past 4000, rank 1 gifts only give 19 affection). The rest is easy with static gains from conversations.
