Thread: Survey mission problems
I'm so glad they nerfed our only way to make money BEFORE they fixed all the bugs involved with them. Thank goodness ARTISAN mission payouts are based on weapon skill, so I, as a Master Artisan, can get lower missions than a combat player with 4 levels of pistol. Just so I can run twice as far to get half as much. YAY
exactly, ive postponed my tailor profession to get my pistol experience to tier 4 just so i can make a little money

Sub, did that resource just pop up? Are you able to sample it?
New resources dont' work for sampling or missions.
Yep, I know about that problem and I checked to see if I could sample it just to make sure it wasn't a new (or bugged)spot. I was able to sample the metal at that locationwithout any problems.It was a copper metal resource, I don't remember the name of it off the top of my head.
'How do I get missions that pay 1800 each? I am on the Bria server, planet Corellia, and all I can get are missions with a maximum payout of 900 credits each. Any information about this would be appreciated.'
Ilok, here's how you do it. Get Specialist in a weapon line and equip at least a box 3 certified weapon in that line. Use the Artisan terminal and voila, 1800 credit max payout missions with only Novice Artisan.
Now pure crafters of course can only get a max of 900 per mission.
So instead of fixing the real problem, they make the pure crafters enter Aggro-Land. Brillant, Absolutely Brillant.
I expected this nerf from day a week. One thing that wasn't listed on the board was the fact that at 512m, you could literally one from one end of a city to the other (at least in Doaba Guerful on Corriellia). There were terminals on each end of the city that were like 540m apart. You could literally find something in high concentration around each terminal and keep running back and forth. Its just like the people who go back and forth with a shuttle, just without the cost and wait.
And yes I did take advantage of this myself for awhile until my head exploded in boredom. (but then again, that happens alot in this game witn running harvys, running missions, grinding at crafting, etc.)
I knew that this was not what the devs intended and it would get nerfed. Seriously though folks, my harvy run takes me right by town, so I run in grab a couple missions for a resource I have a harvy on later in the run and I get 2,5-3k when I get to t hat harvy. This does help alot.
Also, most of us have homes (which should be far enough away.) so find out whats resources are high at your house and get two missions for it every time you leave town to go home. This isn't a ton of cash, but every little bit helps.
Yes this is the problem with survey missions that should've been addressed before the nerf. I am a novice pistoleer and can get missions which pay up to 1800 credits with my DX2 equipped. I equip a sword which I have no skill with and can't get missions that much more than 500 credits. Like destroy missions the survey missions con you based on your combat level.

Yup, used to make 3600 in five minutes, now it'll take ten. Still pretty good cash.

llok: Just grab 2 missions for 900cr == 1800cr.
Esmer and Trahald...lol now that you have told everyone Im sure that this will be nerfed in the next patch somehow. Enjoy it now.
