I have been a master Tailor for about 3 weeks now. I have 2 stores, 1 on Naboo and 1 on Tatooine. Since the JTL expansion came out my buisness has just died. I'm not selling anything at all.

Anyone else feeling this ? Any ideas when things might start to pick up ?

I made a lot during the time between when the ground game was updated and JTL went live. Right now everyone is flying around in space and doing missions though. I've have a few orders for flightsuits from people who want to look like pilots, but business (*all* of my businesses) are pretty much dead right now. One of my characters is a novice shipwright so I might have to put a few ship chassis on a vendor to tide me over until the space crazy dies down a little.

If you have lots of extra lots for some reason and you want to make an easy profit, get some heavy harvesters and put them on steel and ore. *When* you can find it at all, both of them are going for 6-12 cpu even for the worst quality stuff because of all the people trying to become shipwrights.

To be honest, I barely noticed. In the last few weeks, I've been splitting my time between my combat character and my tailor in preparation for the sandbox (hey, I want to know what I'm talking about when I start babbling about... stuff). Over these weeks, I've been helping a jedi friend finish the trials - and look good doing it.

Actually the conversation went something like this:

"can you enhance gloves?"

"no"

"dang, how about striped slacks"

"Here are your options for RFP in clothing..."

"Ew, those are ugly, it's not worth it."

"Uh... but it's melee defense"

"Nope, not worth it."

Now that's my kind of jedi!


So about two weeks ago, I'm not master TK yet (I was maybe halfway there), and I'm cruising around trying to find some nasty creature for these trials, when all of a sudden we realize we're being followed... I get to the starport first, the followers aren't there yet, but Mr. Jedi doesn't make the shuttle - it's a 2 second miss. He lights up his sabre and says "let's do this".

Uh, what? Moi? PvP? Me + novice pistoleer + Jedi versus gank squad?

So there are three of em, and suddenly I realize that the guy attacking Mr. Jedi is now attackable by me. Okay, I'll run interference, since if I die, pft who cares. So I smack him around a little, and managed to incap him before I died. Not daunted, I came out of the cloner with hellacious wounds, and managed to heal some jedi wounds before I was killed again, and so was my droid. Rinse repeat.

The jedi got away. After it was all over and Mr. Jedi was off-planet, we all congratulated each other on a battle well done and healed each others' wounds and BF. Very civilized.

Things I learned:

1) Fashion is much more important than melee defense

2) being set on fire really sucks


What does this have to do with business? Not a whole lot, only that I've been busy. Oh yeah, and nerf fire. Nerf it lots.

In case you're wondering: during this pvp battle I was wearing my green hawtpants with the rest of my composite.

Other than that, I've been selling basics on the bazaar (I'm living the life of a traveling tailor at the moment, which is a nice change), doing special orders for guild, mass-producing uniform hawtpants (yep, true), and other such fun stuff. Oh yeah, and doing the entertainer quests. Mmmm western.

Got on my combat alt for a while and hit Endor with a guild mate. Had BIG fun! I think we had the whole planet to ourselves. Tried to kill a big monkey called Old Stoneskin. (Handak) Oh no! 90% resist to kinetic, 100% to everything else... oh only 65% resist to blast, we got blast? Nope, 2 TKs = no blast. Crap. RUN! Got back home poisoned, diseased, 1 health and 1 action, black bar disease, tonnage of BF... and oh yeah, did I say that was fun? It was. We parked ourselves in the SV cantina and he brought out his master doc to heal us and I dragged Qitu out of the mall to come heal our BF. Works for me.
