Hi,


I am master scout, going for master Rifleman and some CH. Having only like 1 hour per day for gameplay, I'll never get rich by selling harvested resources or loot...not at least until I am able to solo "Ze big Ztuff".

So, am currently selling some wind power in bazaars, to spice up my economy. I have 5 gens going and am selling energy for 2-3 cpu with some success. Being off-line 23 hrs per day, this is a quite nice setup. Big game hunt groups don't work for me since I am such a casual gamer. (Only when home alone, got a wife and two kids).


- I have even tried to solo quenkers/savage quenkers on Dantooine.

- then there is of course the boring way to make some money in Sharnaff groups


Q: do you guys have any better ideas (mainly from rifleman perspective)?

Please, serious posts only...

Solor energy is not the best energy to sell, the best energy to sell is Radioactive.


I have 8 of my lots filled with harvestors and make decent cash-(though most of the resources I save because I'm a weaponsmith in training and want to save up material to make ub3r rifles for myself)


You may want to look into Weaponsmith, Armorsmith, ect resources...... Good rare resources bring alot of money.


Hell I just got a 100K of 996 OQ Ostrine ore and it's very tempting to sell it......... but I need it for my advanced blaster power handlers...........

So farI been leveling faster on Dathomir. Your gonna have to be able to group there though and depending on how strong your pets are is what you'd hunt. I recommend grouping with anyone hunting enraged rancors. You will level on them the fastest as far as I know. If you do that and have weak pets send them in to attack and once they hit the target call them back. You will still get ch xp for this and less wear on your pets. Hope this helps some.

Ya if you "sample" not if you pull it out of your harvestor


Wow wind/solor sells on your server, must be a Starsider thing because they only buy Radioactive because of the Power Efficentcy???? Not sure if thats what the stat is called.......

On my Server Chimaera, Rasps on Rori, which you can kill in one shot drop Avian meat, Doctors will pay you big bucks for this stuff.


Oh and if you wield the right or maybe no weapon then you can get missions for them from a mission terminal.

Hi, if you are imperial i'd suggest planing to get a an ATST, then grouping with him so you can pull the 26k npc mission off the terminal. I assume you'll have conceal shot, so you don't have to worry about beeing aggro. I'd still recomand atleast, some kinetic resist armor, like a set of ubese is perfect for this.



Of course, now that you said you are just a casual gamer maybe you don't have the faction points for an ATST yet (or maybe you are rebel/neutral). So, if its the case try to invite other Solo hunters in a group so you can pull the 26k mission.



As a master doc/rifleman, i have to admit am spoiled with my own buff, but you don't really need buff just mind food if you are gonna use conceal shots on these npc. Also you said you are master scout, so you wont have to worry to be stalked with the agro mob in the area with mask scent on.



Also, if you get lucky you'll get some good loots of these npc (janta/mokk).



Good luck



edit- with your pets grouped you might just be able to pull the 26k misson, worth a try.

OK, I'm a neutral, have current max lvl of pets 31. Won't it take forever and a day to solo 26k missions? Conceal shot is too boring hehe. What kind of loots do you get from Janta/Mokk? Are they humanoid or beasts? And, what planet lol?

MrTopi...


Mokks, Jantas, and Dantari are all humanoids (look like cavemen) on Dantooine. I don't think you are ready for those from what you say. They are VERY tough... highly resistant to energy, and they Deathblow. They are the highest paying missions on Dant. As a smuggler, I can slice the terminals and get their missions for 40K, which is nice. The other nice thing about them is that they don't re-spawn. The original spawn (usually 3 to 5 of 'em) is the only one. Kill them, then the nest. If you are going to hunt them, you had better get buffs and be prepared to burstrun if they see you.

Oh, I know rasps, being born on Rori... How many CPU can you charge? It's a pain to harvest them although I am master scout.

join a large solo-group (yeah its a oxy-moron) but these types of groups are folks more interested in soloing but group to raise the mission payouts. head over to dathomir north or south and run enraged rancor missions solo. payouts are 78k per 2 missions.


as a rifle/ch should have NO trouble killing enraged rancor easily.


i can run two missions every 15 minutes for 300k creds an hour.


you can also run janta missions on dantooine which are a little easier and often closer but they dont pay as much but drop janta blood which doctors pay a lot for. they pay about 50k per two missions.
