Ranger Archive

Just wanted to see how you are all making money.... I find that to keep myself well equiped, i do nothing but run missions. And I don't even have a house...

We sell resources we harvest.

I do both of the above, and occasionally lead a CH to baby graul maulers.

I apply mind buffs, although this would not work for many other rangers.

I made 400k doing defiler missions on Dath.

Just hang around the Trade Outpost and hook up with a hunting group.

There are always groups leaving out of there.

Thats also how IMastered Creature Handler.

Missions and selling resources I harvest.

know what resources are used for what, like Good wooley hide for composite armor,

Avian meat, herbivore meat for medics,

They'll pay heavily for some of them, like on Bloodfin now, Avian meat, someone is willing to

pay 100cpu, yes I said correctly 100cpu.

you can usually find a master ch that is looking for some hard to find animals such as grauls or maulers. Last night I had a MCH offer me 75K for helping him find two graul maulers. That's probably the minimum you could get but hey its 75K that'll last me a while.

Among other things, I've built a factory, and am creating crates of basic camp kits. CHs buy them so that they don't have to bother with making camps to cal their pets. I can't keep them on my vendor they sell so well.

Most of the money I have came from selling good resources but then I have a variety of skills so a straight ranger might not be able to do some of these.

From a ranger perspective I'd say use swgcraft.com or some other place to identify which organic resources are good at any time and then go hunt large quantities of those. Doctors, BEs, Chefs and other crafters need meat, eggs and other organics is stacks of at least 1k in order to make crates of items in a factory. Target that market.

Armorsmiths on Intrepid are paying 20cpu for a certain type of wooly hide that has spawned

Doctors have paid 15cpu for certain types of avain and herbivore meat.

No one harvests as many organic resources as a ranger. Sell your resources.

I can run 2 huurton missions for 14K but the hides from those two missions will net me at another 12K or so alone.

Right now I've got 8K of wooly hide that I'm going to sell for 15cpu for a total of 120000 credits. Playing casually I got that much in a few days.

My primary income comes from running destroy missions out of the cities. Occassionally I'll throw some of my resources on the bazaar for a few extra credits if the resources are poor quality. If the resources are high quality I horde them in my house until a day comes that I want something high quality crafted and I can just hand the crafter a bunch of high quality resources in exchange for making me exactly what I want.

You probably don't need it repeated but I'll chime in anyway.

Sell those resources, especially the avian and herb meats. You'll have more credits than stuff to spend it on.
