I made a ton of cash buying swoops for 10k and selling em 25 at a time on the Bizzare for 20k = 250k even when you are not at your PC. Problem with that is you need 250k to start and have to wait for them to sell. I've made a million in 4 10 min runs.

Depends on how creative you want to get. Reselling loot\items (like the swoop idea) really works if you have some cash to start with. I have a friend who buys under-priced elite loot and resells it in his vendor and he makes a ton. One of the more popular ways today is to get quest items and then auction them on theboards and then there is space...lots of cash that can be made there and its a good escape from the day-to-day land based combat and requires some skill instead of just pressing a few buttons at the top of your keybard.

Once you get Inv4 the value of the NPC missions goes up to 30k. I can do about 5 an hour and make close to half a mil in one 3 hr inspiration buff session.

Back in the day(pre cu) I would set up fusion power generators and sell the resources on the bazaar. I would also buy wholesale goods for bazaar sell(Shield Generators were good, not sure how they are now) Spice was also a good selling item on the bazaars(however you can buy a create for under 5k on Lowca)


Since I sold my ADK and 30k resource deed I don't need much of these side jobs to make money. Jedi BH missions and space loot selling keep my bank filled with credits.

Question about space loot:


Do I have to be a master privateer pilot in order to take advantage of the space loot? Does it involve any grinding to get to the point of where I can make money in space? What exactly do I need to do to accomplish this? I've never been in space before in the game.


Thanks!

You can average about 100k an hour on NPC BH missions. Once the loot starts dropping, sell whatever you don't need.


Not quite as good money, but factional or NPC missions are pretty fast money if you have some Medic/CM/Doc in your template. You'll get 3 or 4 NPC's to kill, andyou can take them down in just a few minutes.


Honestly, since Publish 21, I've made 1.7 million on 10 Jedi kills, hunting just part time (2 or 3 missions a day, and not playing every day). Fastest money I've ever made.

Yea someone told me that doing the factional missions isn't bad because there's only 2-3 npc's each mission and they go down fast and while it's still 8-9k per mission, it's alot faster than hunting gurks. Seems like this is a good plan along with my bounty hunter missions. How effective is this space loot though? Any tips on that?

quite, every thing you loot can be sold for a minimum of 1k. Its 1k per equipment lvl. Master lvl can get good quick stuff off of tier 4 fighters. (specially ties ) the good stuff can sell for 10k each....throw in the fact that you can get duty missions, for extra cash, and the enemy comes to you......$$$$$

It seems like there's few ways to make money as a crafter. I had someone suggest making swoops for example, but they sell for less than their production cost. Short of some of the highest end possible items, it seems like the potential to make any money is very limited. Am I missing something, or is this aspect of crafting as bleak as it seems? It seems rather pointless to be a crafter if buyers are so limited.

Harvest your own resources... pretty much the only way to make any money from selling swoops etc.

yah harvest your own resources...remember, when something you need is not in spawn go harvest something else that is in good quality and sell it...personally i run a resource prospecting business that is centered around the bazaar
