Thread: Money trouble
1. Mokk Shaman missions on Dant for 30k a piece,
2. Harvest resources.
Solo Krayt's. There is another thread here with a few different methods of soloing krayts as a commando. I had commando 0040 for a couple weeks and made loads of money selling pearls.
Voltrox (shadowfire)
yeah Mokk Missions for around 20-27k (not 30k...) on dantooine are VERY good...
Can really only get them in solo groups as they're around 98 diff lvl...BUT they aren't really powerful in relation to the diff lvl....and they're heat vuln -- Janta's are fairly difficult for me personally speaking....even with +92 ranged/+94 melee defense...melee mit 2/ranged mit 3....+71 defense acuity...2.2k buffs and 67% composite armour...they arent impossible...but *can* hurt if you arent careful.....meanwhile the mokks to us are MUCH weaker and faster to bring down
However...they dont drop the Janta style loot -- which prolly will get nerfed pretty soon (ALOT of Janta loot is very worthwhile to get...and are easy to get with solo groups)
But money wise and with mokk missions...2 nights ago, as a part of my 25 hours without sleep...I grinded 11 hours to finish off the last 3 skill boxes to my template [which I reworked 3 months ago..but due to crafting on valcyn was sidetracked] of TKA 0/3/0/4 Pistoleer 0/0/4/0 and Master Commando
Anyways...in 11 hours I made 600k....of which I only did around 6-10 Mokk missions (most were quenkers for 6k or voritors for 8k) since the solo groups kept disbanding...still I can do around 228k worth of mokk missions every hour in a solo group....REALLY helps with our profession...
yes rancs do have high heat resist. so high infact it is 100%. altho i believe they have low acid resist.
and solo grp is basically that. everyone in the grp goes off and do missions solo. with this you can get high paying money and keep it all to yourself. sometimes you come into range of another player and all you have to do is ask for your money back in a nice way of course
The Key to Commando income is 3 Fold currently:
1) Missions on planets like Dantooine
2) Planting Harvestors (Go for Fusion Power...I sell Bulk Power like mad)...If you don't want to manage harvestors, then rent out your extra lot spaces...I use to rent mine out for 20K a week per lot and that's considered low by some....
3) The Big Loot Scores
The first 2 are obvious, but where do you get the big loot scores, especially when you play solo?
For some, like in a recent post, you can try hitting Krayt Dragons solo...
For me, I've had better luck for big loot in the following 3 places:
- Aakuan Cave on Talus (via POI)...A Commando should be able to easily clear this cave and you have a chance to score an Aakuan ring (+5 to Melee Def) plus some decent +5 or less Skill mods...The rings often sell for anywhere between 100K to 250K on avg auctions...You don't even need to be buff'd to clear this cave.
- Nightsisters...hit them buff'd and don't go solo on the elders unless you really know what your doing...They have a tendancy to occasionally drop some seriously nice loot...
- Dark Jedi from the Force Caves....Go in buff'd, have food enhancers ready, and bring plenty of spice...that combo has allowed me to clear this cave solo on occasion...most times I've cleared it I've gotten a +10 or higher skill mod that I've sold for close to a mill or more (all depends on what mod it is)....Even seen someone get a +21 Ranged Def there before...the drops can sometimes be pretty rare (like you might have to clear the cave a few times, but when they drop...wow boy....
Hope this helps...there are plenty of otherways to make good money, but these are my prefered ways...
