Carbineer Archive

Anyone else notice that the money that can be made from the mission terminals has taken a huge nosedive? As a novice carbineer, with a laser carbine, the standard missions I'm seeing on Tatooine are going for ~1000 credits or less. This is in contrast to before when the same missions were garnering 1500-2000 credits. Anyone know where decent money can be found for a solo novice carbineer now?

They have significantlydecreased the payouts on missions. Welcome to SWG: 2001.

do a few explore missions. they make you kill around 45 of some random MOB and you get paid around 6000-8000c per mission. if you find a good lair you can kill the 45 in about 10 minutes.

but if you arent high enough leveled then after a short while you just cant keep killing them any more. personally i kill all those MOBs in like 1 or 2 hits.

The problem is finding the mobs to begin with, its not always easy.

I'm a Novice Carbineer as well, I just earned about 70k worth of Credits as well as about 10k FPs by doing faction missions... however I was doing them for about 7 hours straight...

LOL my payout just increased by this patch, as the higher-end missions give MORE payout. Some of them even give 25k credits per mission, and I can pretty much finish them in about7 minutes (all wasted in walking to the mission).

heres a good way to make some money someone here posted a while back. Go to dathomiir with a good high HAM pet and full auto area then grab a 10k cred baz nitch mission and sick the pet on one and let them all hop on him, then start FAA'ing em until they are all dead then you can have the pet kill the lair as you FAA any baz nitches that spawn from it.

the new patch allows non CH's to have pets now which is a big plus

i get missions with a CR of 19, that pay 1100-3000 credits now. 1100 bleeping credits for taking out a devil gulginaw nest!?!? and not one with low health, at 1200 or so...that's fine, i can do that. oh no, its got 8800. each mob is aggressive, and has 1.5-6k ham (some are greater, some are devil, some are just plain normal gulginaws). ok, i could STILL do this...except that they ALL assist. and for 1100 creds. give me a break.

oh yeah, and now i can't see what target i'm going for until after i get there. the name is blanked out. anyone else noticed this? i /bug reported it, but i'm just curious...

the explore missions are nice though...kill 45 creatures that have 10k plus ham, get 13k credits. combine the destroy mission and the explore missions, and you can make out like a bandit..
