Thread: How do you guys make money?
Currently im Solo'ing the 22k Kamurith Defiler missions on Dathomir (anyone can pull this type of mission)
At you're level of swordsman, your best bet would be to group up on somewhere like Dath. You'll get less credits per mission than for example myself....but the missions will go faster than I can do them, and each person in the group will have 2. So you should get more missions done.
If you want to make money on your own......I really hate to say it - But dabbling in CH gives you so much freedom and is (too) easy.
Im master swordsman/ 3400 CH -with the much (hated) loved graul mauler - i also hit master brawler recently, I got all the experience for this doing the same missions I do when wielding my Power hammer. The pet allowsme to do (within reason) whatever missions i want.
If you want to get exp and cash fast, on your own - especially at your lvl. Pick up CH get to 2200 or 3200 whatever the level is you need, buy a graul/g.mauler, and you are now free to do some missions you could Never attempt at your current swordlevel.
When i said "I really hate to say it" thats because right now there are so many dabbling CH's that a lot of abuse is often thrown that way.
I would greatly advise players NOT to engage Kamurith Defilers in melee combat because they do poison. The poison probably won't kill you if you have medical skills, but it wasts a lot of resources either chain healing yourself or using cure-poisons.
Just to clarify, kamurith defilers disease, nocuous ones poison. If you have a decent pet, you can use it to pull lizards away from the nest, where you maintain 5m range, smash their heads in, and never get hit once. If you don't have apet, well,you're going toget diseased or poisoned for sure.
Well disease is even worse lol. Even if you have a pet there is a chance the monster will attack you.
Doing kunga missions on dantooin in a group is pretty fun and gives decent money and good exp. if you are lucky enough to get into a group with a minor ch and some commandos you will get insane amounts of exp because the commandos will be doing pretty much only dot damage (which gives them no credit for the damage) since kungas have medium armor and high heat resist. I think kungas are vulnerable to blast/kinetic too 
Of course if you aren't doctor buffed and wearing good armor, you will die pretty easily to them. Two of the kunga warriors at once killed me before when i was doctor buffed because they kept on hitting my mind. I was only wearing 30% ubese at the time and my stats weren't migrated into mind stats yet though.

No offence to anyone 
but that all depends how familiar you are with fighting with pets.
Smaller pets (the cat like ones) tend to get much closer to the mob, so it's much easier to keep aggro on them....as currently - mobs will aggro the closest aggresive thing/person. I use a graul mauler myself, and it is harder to make sure the pet keeps aggro.
Still - I have been doing defiler missions since after the last big patch when endor missions became poor. I have not become diseased EVER while on my own. Not a single time.
The only time i've ever been diseased was when I actually went with a group, the medic somehow got aggro and I used taunt to purposefully get aggro.
If you know how to keep aggro on your pet - it is entirely possible to Never get attacked.
However - I would only ever do defiler missions if I had a pet that could take on 2 defilers without dying (just in case) or if i was in a group that had a pet to tank.
99% of the time though, I take one defiler at a time
Hey I thought I was the only guy who didn't have any money. I once had 15k cr and was the richest man in the world. I currently have about 500cr in the bank. I have been dying to find out how to make some real credits. Thanks all.

Some of us aren't creature handlers though
hehe but if you read my original post I suggest going CH as part of the whole plan
I also suggested other alternatives for non-CH 
Defiler missions here, not QUITE as much as the 25k bolma missions, but factor in that you only have to kill 6 defilers....less time=more money over time
I find the planet/animals with the best wooly hides or herbivore meat and then harvest a lot as I kill. Most armorsmiths will pay upwards of 10 cr. per unit, to as much as 25 cr. per unit and sometimes even more for wooly hides of 950+ OQ. Medics will pay 10 cr. per unit and usually much more for high quality herbivore meat for stims.
Another idea is that I'll group with peoplefor missions and then solo them.
But to be honest, the way that I make most of my money is by finding a resource that people want to buy (like neutronium steel, lokian wild wheat, etc.) and then setting up harvesters. Pump in power and maintanence for 4-7 days and then come back and sell in pieces on the bazaar.
The first two are on topic for swordsmen, but probably account for less than half my income. Most of it comes from harvesters.
miner route: drop 10 heavies on any decent resource or radioactive, and bank a easy 150k+ a day.
