I've come across too many new players begging for cash recently, denegrating themselves for a lousy thousand credits. So here is a quick guide to making your first 10,000 credits.

1) Find an artisan trainer and train up artisan. It doesn’t matter if you don’t plan on being an artisan, you can untrain it soon enough.

2) Find an artisan mission terminal, and take crafting missions from Mos Eisley to Anchorhead (make sure you change the mission tab from Surveying to Crafting). All of the crafting missions that pay 1200-1400 or so credits from Mos Eisley have a destination point in Anchorhead.

3) You can craft the items while you’re waiting for the shuttle, ready to deliver as soon as you get there.

You should be making roughly 2800 credits each run, so you only need to do this four times to make your first ten thousand credits. Easy.


Of course its your call on what to buy with your 10k. Personally, I'd get myself a landspeeder, a gun and a new set of clothes. Then I'd go get a squill team and make some more money.

Or, if you are totally broke without resources, just do a bunch of delivery missions with short distances. They are all within the city limits, so unless you run to the odd aggro NPC in a city, you are completely out of harm's way. They can be done fairly quickly, and you get to keep your self-esteem (compared with begging). Hey, you even get to learn your city's layout.

Been there, done that.

Another easy 'n honest way to make money: (novice artisan req) as soon as you can afford it, buy a wind generator for around 10k. And a wind energy survey device. Then, go survey some wind energy, dump your gen on the best spot you can find. After some time, go get your energy, put it on the nearest bazaar (in a major city likeTheed, Coronet, Bestine) for 1cpu. It will sell. Then, buy a fusion ion energy thingy (need mineral survey tool)....and the rest will be easy. High-class fusion sells for 2cpu easily on bazaars, I do it all the time on Chimaera. Not amazing money, but will keep you alive There are guides for this, please do a forum search.

Crafting missions don't require resources (NPC gives them to ya)
