Thread: Where to get CA's Besides BH missions
DJM and DJK get soloed constantly all day and they do drop good loot.
The trick is not to get hit.

Full Combats are limited to armor/weapon componets to make decent money. At least untill the expansion.
Beware of the "Forum Legends" (dude I took on 40 Krayts and 10 DJM and beat them all solo. Whoo hoooooo Blob candy ftw)

my level 73 swordsman can solo the level 111 npc's on dant
as a head up and this applies to my server I guess.....I have been doing the customary BH missions for CAs and crap loot. Well during my travels I have recently encountered spawns of DJKs (CL94) and Dark Adepts (CL88) (saw two spawns of 5 or 6 together - like 2 DJKs and 3 Adepts) on Yavin IV and Lok closer to the edge of the map. It surprising how much more of the game you see when forced to drive all over hell for a mark.
Anyway,I was quite surprised to see them on those planets and didn't want to get my a$$ handed to me, so I kept driving. But I am thinking about taking my alt for a spin to see if I can solo some of these......I will post any results as far as loot goes.

I call "you don't know what you're talking about..."
There are plenty of elite spawns...if you know where to look. And yes, they drop better or equal to BH marks.
if you want to make some cash i would hunt krayts and get pearls....get two buddies with ya..and just hunt them for 3 weeks straight...i'm thinking about doing it...i want to get around 100-200 pearls then sell them for 1.5mill each...make good cash..i just need the patience till i reach the amount i want..lol..i would try to find out where people are looting all the holos...i hear people get about 10 holos an hour at places..which sell for 200-500k each..if your looking to make money there are a lot of ways to do it..just have to have the patience for it...i hear the avatar is fun..supposedly yields some decent loot..i've never been there...but hear its fun...as far as ca's go..they're all nerfed except bh drops...there will always be ca's from diff mobs but drop rates aren't too great and mods suck...jetpack components seem to be very popular if you can run the dwb and loot those for 3 weeks solid you can make a lot there depending on what you get....harvesting is an extra cash bonus does the work while you play..i just harvest and throw them on a vendor for a bonus....anyways..hope it helps...

Im assuming that Non-BH CA drops are next to non existant execpt for the rare drop from a mob here or there. The only thing left for non-BH combat classes to hunt are armor or weapon component drops. I know on Bria, both Gurk King static spawn points are camped relentlessly...Peko feathers...good luck. Geo Caves drop a bunch of Assault Core crap and more crap. The Canyon Cosair POI drops a decent amount of damage Crystals and other crap. NSs are a waste of time and energy. Other than quests the Wookie world sucks. Other than instant death the DWB drops occasionaly good stuff. I wasted time with Mauraders on Endor and got a couple satchels for my troubles from the POI AND Missions. Aakuan missions yielded a bunch of ranged rings...nothing else.
No CA's at all.
The best was the Gurk King hides. Got 8 mil for 16 of em. For 5 damage crystals, mainly fair quality I got a mil. Everything else has been crap.
If the game becomes Jedi vs Bounty Hunter Ill probably quit.
My suggestion for the loot campers is to remove static spawns. Have bosses/elites spawn in random locations just as the regular mobs. The loot problem came from super toons camping a spot for 6 months. If the spawn moves randomly only those player ACTUALLY playing will benifit. The loot drop sucks for two reasons 1) The expansion might reveal some new way of getting loot. 2) the Devs overreacted. Seeing the drop rate has not changed yet, who knows.
wow on lowca youd be lucky to get 500k for king gurk hides =)

Yea as I speak there are at least 7 people camping both Gurk King spawn points. I say remove the static loot drop spawn and have loot drops limited to missions only. That will give EVERYONE a fair shake at obtaining loot. This is a very easy simple solution.

It has been this way for over 2 years now since the game was launched. I hope this might help you all understand a little better, why others might be able to find certain mobs and you can't, or why they loot certain things and you can't. That is my two cents on the subject. Personally, on Tarquinas, we can get great SEA's from BH missions, Aakuans, Nym's, sometimes NS's, and of course the upper level force sensitive NPC's.Ryyan AndersonMayor of Dragon's Den, Talus2 yr VeteranTriple Ace Pilot
Is that 'cause there are only like 5 people on that server.
