i know once you start making good armor the money starts coming in, but hwo do you get the money to start out with the harvs and good resources and all that other stuff
i cant seem to amass any amount of money over 100k, and it would be impossible to get enough to start out a successful AS business because not many ppl buy ok armor, everyone wants the best.
how do you get your startup money.
i only have 900 credits right now and i still have to buy grining stuff to finish the grind, because im only 3/0/0/2 right now
stupid money

Not to mention the price difference to buy a medium over a heavy.

Mediums at ber10 are my faves. Doesnt seem worth the extra cost of credits and power for 3 ber and not too mention meds go for about 45-60k on bria where heavies are about 150k.

This may sound unexciting or just plain dorky, but I did survey missions until I started selling lots of armor and PSG's. 20k to 25k credits per hour (this was before the vehicle publish)doing survey missions at least paid the bills.

Oh I should prob say how I earned money starting out. Way back then I sold alot of survey and crafting tools. But, once I could make harvestors I took my lil 2 ber harvestors out and my windmill and starting looking for good mins and organics. Found that high qual organics were selling better on the market, then got into talusian water and dantooine berry fruit. From there it just grew. This is over a few months, also joining a guild helped out alot where the guild architect hooked me up with some harvestors. Lets see, what I would do now is get a lil combat skill get buffed, head to dathomir and do enraged rancor missions with people and sell orgs/split 37k per mission. Thats what I what do with the knowledge I have now. Starting off you need to depend on others at first or it takes much longer. But, I remember my first month was mostly running all across coreillia looking for resources and grinding wooden staffs and reinforced combat staffs. Was horrible and I almost quit the game because I had no direction and felt I would never get through master armorsmith.

Try selling mid-grade Mabari out of Mos Eisly. Price it 700 for chest pieces and pants, 500 for all others. It's not a big score, but, you can keep your harvesters going with it.
Good luck,

well, min harvesters maybe nice, but I used wind gens to make some money. With engineering 3 you can make them yourself. just get some really good copper with high conductivity and make a really good structure/furniture tool (or buy one). Then use a crafting station to experiement and make good quality wind gens (BER 8 or 9). With 4-6 of them working you can gather the energy and sell it for 2 cpu in Coronet. At least that is what I did and in afew weeks had 500K. of course this was before the last patch so I put up 1500 units for 3000. You can now put 3000 units for 6000 credits but you may need another gen or two to fill up all the slots you have available on the bazaar (isn't it like 25 or so?)
Good luck
