Thread: Funding hide buying?
I started grinding mabari, then made full suits. Dropped them at the bazzar at cheap prices. I sold 6 to 9 pieces a day.
Yea it was slow making $$ but I saw some credits for my work and it was worth it to me. For hides, I check the bazzar for deals, someone somewhere is going to drop some hides for cheap and Ill grab em. Also Im a pistoleer and can get my own , in addition Ive got a deal with a commando friend and he picks up hides and uses his harvesters , I get all his resources and I just supply him with whatever armor I can make him. Just made a full suit of padded and he's thrilled with it.
I supplant my As with Artisian equip, which ive made more money off off ( ie powerups ) and cruising other vendors for deals and reselling them on my vendor.
I hate grinding otherwise I'd have finished As weeks ago. As it is , im learning what sells and how to make it.
I would save your good resources for your primo armors as master though.
Fortunately I've got some really good guildmates and they have helped me out with supplies, money and equipment. I'm just starting to get on my feet. I've been able to sell some good quality and BER harvestors on the bizarre, as well as a few suits of malbri (sp?) armor. I was just grinding armor upgrade kits but I like being able to sell some of my work making suits instead. BTW, if you are on Kettemoor come to MALL on Naboo for all your shopping needs. 
Now in our guild theres no internal economy and everyone shares ressources and helps out, i started making basic armour for my own personal amusement and slinging the occasional good for me bit on the bazzar, and worked/grinded my way upto padded coz i prefered the look to the others, and started to provide full suits to the rest of the guild, this helped cut down the grind and asrileman/ pistoleer/ scout also i can gather what i need myself, but having a group of 5-7 people all wearing your armour while you go gathering yavian wool or lokian leathery really helps the xp rise leaving not a lot to grind, the best way ive found is as my skill improved i replaced each persons armour and placed those full suits and lesser results onto the bazzar and since everyone wears the same colour and type you can fill up the bazzar with many peices that match, this seems to be the key if you just have a chest plate on the bazzar someone may buy it, if you also have the biceps/bracers/leggings/boots and glovesavailable in the same colour you are more likley to get multiple sales, many times ive heard the mails come in 3-4 from the same person kittin themselves out and at 3-4k per peice it soon mounts up, of course you have to guage what else is available where you are selling and price accordinly, currently im selling basic non layered13 special 30+rest 0-2 socketedpadded in black for ~ 4.5k per piece, and havent had any trouble shifting them, as a single player trying to do this on your own i salute you! dont think i would have bothered without the help ive recived, even then its been a real chore at times.Wind generators were my friend. I made 5 of them (engineering III of Artisan) andput them out on a 40ish% spot. In a day or so I had enough to fill all the slots available on the bazaar and sold 1500 units for 3000 credits (before publish 6). In a day or two I had 70K in my bank. I just kept my wind gens going and in several weeks had 500K.
On Chimaera I used Coronets bazaar since it seems to get the most traffic. Assume it is the same on other servers as well.
