By and far, the best classes to make money are crafting. It's a player driven economy, and players need lots of stuff to keep going. From armor to vehicles. Also, resource gathering is another good way to make money. Drop a few harvestors, and look for good stuff. Pick up novice scout, there is always a demand for good hide and meat. Use the search lair quite frequently also when doing missions, for animal lairs. Eggs can be gathered, and are literally worth their weight in gold press latinum. sell them in good lots though, people are going to need resources in the hundreds to make stuff, just look around and see what the crafters need on your shard and how much they are willing to pay for it.

Get novice artisan and surveying 3, then get harvesting contracts (someone wanting another to harvest certain resources for them for a set price per unit), or just harvestors in general. Just start snaggin' the good resources that the WS, AS, MD, and CM need and you'll be set. Unless you have friends and/or a guild to help you out in the beginning it's rough, as you need money to make it (heavy harvestors are usually around 100k+).


Finding loot others will pay for is another way...skill tapes with experimentation values on them (+2 or higher), force crystals (about 200k is the going rate right now), holo's are the same (around 200-400k is the going rate on chilly at least), etc...

As someone who is accustomed to getting outbidded on the Trade forums, I thought I would start a thread about making money, and doing it quicky.


How do people make their millions? Doctors and crafters explain themselves, But how does your average combat char make a living?


My main source of Incom is Geno Loot, and solo 12 - 30kmissions. SometimesI Harvest valuble Hide. As a non Hige defence melee char, Im limited in my ability to solo high end content that some players make look like childsplay.


So, please do elaborate.. where's is all the money at?

Solo enraged rancor groups on Dath. which are 36K per mission, or 30K mission in a solo group on dantooine. But looks like you may already be doing that. The only other things I can think of is finding good loot (not easy), harvesting good herbivore and avian meat, or maybe mining.

The first 1/2 million I got from doing missions, sell some resoures on the bazaar, and slicing. The next 6 million I got from selling very good fruit which I mined before the chief update. I was grinding chief and was going to use it for brandy. Made some brandy and sold some of it. But, used the trade forums to sell the rest of the fruit. I guess selling the right type of resources at the right time is where I made most of me money. I now have 18.5 miilion.

I'm not really buying anything. So, my money keep building. I still look around for the better price.

How do you get these missions? I am TKM and I can't pullhigh-end missions without a solo group, even if I am grouped with my combat droid. The rancors are not difficult to kill, just wish I could get paid for doing it.

Yup without a doubt the simplest and fastest way of making cash as a pure combat proffession must be Enraged Rancors on Dath at around 37k a pop.


Supplement thatby sellingsome of the loot they drop and harvesting a pile of meat to sell to people grinding BE or DOC and it shouldn't take long to sort out the old bank account

Personally, I prefer Janta's over rancors. Sure you only get 27k compared to 36k for rancors, but there is less spawn at the lair and the terrain on dantooine is much friendlier then on dath. Going up and down all those darn hills makes it take too long to do the missions. I can do 3 janta missions in thetime it takes to do 2 rancor ones.
