I just reached Engineer 4. I trying to maintain a few harvesters but i make no money? How do u guys make money? I can only craft artisans stuffs... like every other artisan and i cant sell ressources the bazaar is full of them.


Any tips? Does someone have a way? to at least be able to easily pay my harvesters for more than 1 day?

Identify a resource that is in demand, for example a reactive gas that is on Naboo and isn't on Corellia. Mine it on Naboo and bring it to Corellia to sell it. When your sales go through the bazaar, contact the buyer, thank them for purchasing your material and ask them to contact you the next time they need resources. You might also ask them if there are any particular resources they need at the moment, and offer to harvest them.


Alternately, contact your local armorsmith/weaponsmith or other crafter and see if there is a particular resource they need at the moment. Or contact a Master Architect and see if they need some wall panels made, its all about finding the opportunities and jumping on them....

If you are using a harvester and aren't selling anything, then I think you are already doing something wrong. Don't buy a harvester to get materials if you can't sell anything.


As an artisan, you can sell weapon powerups, repair kits, and drinks at a bar to make some cash. This works much better of course if you also go all the way up the domestic tree to get the experimentation points.


Don't push using a harvester if you can't afford to maintain it. Wait until you have a customer base then do it, within the means of what you can afford, you don't have to buy the biggest one. I know it is boring as sinto get the resources yourself, but when you are just starting out, its much cheaper, and can get you where you need to be.

One word, just one word:

Plastics

All joking aside, I make most of my money though combat missions and selling extra resources and weapon upgrades. If you have scout you can also make a fair amount of money selling hides/bone and bone armor.
