Ok since the patch that destroyed sologroups for money went online, I am having a hard time making my living. I am a BH but it's not the most secure income since jedis are hard and are always not online.

So my question is basically what is the best way to earn money now a days for a ranged combat class ?
I have been trying around but haven't found anyway that is really good yet.

Thanks in Advance

If you've got JTL I recommend you go space till you get a good bank role. It's beneficial in many way's. A) you don't go through any Armor or Weapon condition. B) you don't need buffs. C) the Loot alone you can make upwards of 500k in a short time (4-9k a loot piece (times) how evermany looted components you get equal's happy and easy money....that and you get much need Ship exp for the long Tier4 Grind.

Well if you are Bounty hunter then you have scout. If i was you I would contact your server's doctors chefs and armor smiths. Find out what they need and start harvesting. With a nice droid and some harvest food you can make a decent amount per buff session.

Absolutely. On Bria, the current spawn of Avian Meat on Corellia is going for 250 credits per unit. There's plenty of money to be had in just hunting.


Also, there's nothing forcing you to be in a group. Most master professions can get missions for at least 12k per mission alone. Heck, when I was just Marksman with Rifles 4 I could get an 11k mission on Dantooine. I don't know why everyone is having such money troubles. The group payout correction just made the money split like it was supposed to.






Some of my pet peeve bugs:
•Armorsmith protection layers were not converted with the CU.
•Ship Details window does not close when you click "Travel" resulting in the message "You have lost the target. Closing interface."

Actually the hunting for meat is a great way to make money. Currently I'm gathering wild meat on Dant. It's selling for 60 credits per unit which doesn't sound like much. In 2 hunts (about 5 hrs total)I have 11K of meat. You do the math. And I'm making about 8K per mission on top of it. 2 missions paid for the buffs. And this current spawn should be good for days. AND I'm getting great xp on top of it. But if you go this route get a droid with like +109 harvesting. Not only do you get more meat per critter BUT you can command your droid to harvest while you're still in battle. So no more crying over corpses disappearing before you can get to them and it doesn't matter if you're dizzied, blinded. Of course being incapped won't work because you need to be able to command your droid on the spatial channel (although maybe /tellpet might work...)


Also if you're JTL-ingand a Reb do missions for the Dant space station. In about an hour and a half I made over 100K in mission pay, looted credit chips and looted components. I'm 3322 Reb pilot and most of the baddies were

Also, as a BH if you have JTL, just run BH missions, the payout is something like 22K each at Investigation 3I seem to recall.

I used to run around 5-10 a night depending on friends being online or not. If I was bored/no friends online, I'd pop a DVD in my laptop next to my computer and just run missions non stop.

Not going to make you rich, but not bad.

thanks so much for all the responses I appreciate it ! And will check up on all the suggestions to see what fits me the best.

That JTL way sounds good since I am 4333 right now so I do need the xp to. But all suggestions where good and tomorrow I will try them out.

Thanks again

Hunting for meat and such is your best bet if you are a ground pounder. Pilots just need to run missions from the space stations.


As an Imperial Ace, I took a mission from Endor space station to destroy the pirates in the area, 5 sorties of 3 waves each increasing in difficulty by one enemy ship each sortie. I have ended up with 4-500k depending on the loot drops each time I have done this. It may sound boring but each dog fight is different and fun for me.
