Ok this probalby could have been posted in the general dicussion but i wanted to hear it from the TKA/TKM perspective.

Now that they have nerfed the payouts on missions, is anyone (that does not craft as a seconday profession) having the problem that i am making credits? It seems between the price to travel back and forth, and the price of cloning and insureing items, its making my hunting expiditions all most profitless... if i try to solo i can only really pull 3-8k missions... the ones that pull for10k+ are usually tohard to solo, so in a group of 2 or 3 people you can at least split that in half (now before you flame me im only 0010 at TKA atm)... plus the time it takes me to do this iwould have to play for at least 4 hours to get in a decent amout of cash... now for some people thats fine but itshard for some of us to play for extened periods of time like that.

Does anyone know of a good place to make credits??? For thouse of you that are not having this problem PLEASE share with the rest of us that are having problems what your doing, my savings are begining to dwindel down to nothing.

I dont know, maybeI just got use to having so much cash....but you know that people are not going to drop there prices on merchandice becase missions were nerfed. Any advice on this would be great

(oh yea and incase you were wondering im working onmaster ranger as my secondary profession but im only 4243 in scout atm so i still have a way to go)

huurton stalkers - dantooine - 9700 credits

piket longhorn - dantooine - 9800 credits

bile-drenched quenker - dantooine - 10,000 credits

bolma (NOT craggy) - dathomir - 25,000 credits

those are what i do when i need to make money ASAP =)

I do not know what you consider a decent amount of cash, but at TKM I can run solo missions on a starter planet that pay 3-4K without much risk or hassle, and no expenses. Takes me an hour or so max to pull up 10 to 15K, which covers a lot, especially for a TKA.

agreed with the last.

leaving starter planets is expensive. when the mission payouts were high on the advanced planets, it was a good deal.

now, I'm staying on naboo, unless a group I trust is hunting elsewhere.

last patch, they killed endor. this patch seemed to take care of the rest of the planets.

oh, and you don't need to be a master TKA, either.

you might get better payouts on faction missions, and npc's seem a lot easier for me than big critters.

grouping at the mission terminal will increase payout and difficulty... and you can often find people to group in town for this, and then go solo.

Wizkid72,

Those have all been nerfed. As a TK Master I cannot get those missions anymore and this is with a Rock Beetle grouped and 200damage VKs.

No doubt CH dabblers can get them though.

aye... I'm 1-1-1-1 CH, and I pull out my Greater Sludge Panther and Probot when I take missions. I can get from 4k - 20k on difficult planets. Then again, I'm a smuggler too, so I can slice to get extra cash on top of that. I'm getting good payouts on Bolma missions on Dath now.

for us faction pples...especially imps. If you get 3 storm trooper commanodos then it will raise the amount of money you can pull for missions. I just group 3 STC's my probot and graul mualer and i can get pretty good missions.

Ok so basicly you have to pull all of your IMP pets out a rancor and a probot just to geta decent payingmission.... ok that does absolutly nothing for me... Fisrt off im rebel, second im not CH nor do i plan to go CH, and 3rd because im rebel i dont think it would be a good idea to be roaming around on dantooine overt, i would be dead before i got to a mission terminal so factions pets for rebels are out of the question (not that they would do much good anyway).

This is exactly why i posted this thread on the TKM forums instead of the general, not that the advice anyone has giving was bad advice its just more from another professions point of veiw(mainly CH orTKM/CH).

I have no intentions of going CH or imperial just to pull a high paying mission, but now it just seems from what the past few people have posted is that you need to pull out all your fire power (which imperials and CH's will have more of) to pull a DECENT paying mission.

Oh well... life goes on, i just thought that maybe there was still someway to make cash without going through all the trouble of pulling out everything in your datapad or finding 10 people to group with, take your mission, disband and gosolo, just seems more ofan exploit than a solutionto me (thats if you even have the luxurey of pulling out CH pets and IMP factioned pets at the same time)

I don't use pets, and I don't group up for better missions. Guess my mission payout is not decent enough for you at 3-4K.

DO you have scout skills? Harvesting high quality resources is very lucrative. You are killing critters, just harvest the meat, bones, or hide.

Docs and BEs pay well for high quality meat
Armorsmiths pay through the nose for good hide (good wooly will get you 30 credits per unit)!

Suck it up, there's too much money in the game anyways...it's a joke! Plenty of ways to make money.

Hello All,

I was on dant last night doing some missions. I made my way to the mission terminal and thought, where's the money? As TKM I could usually find pretty easy Piket Longhorn missions for between 10-11K. I always pick up a couple to recoup the travel expenses. But woah, once again payments were crappy and so were the missions. I am also an MCH so I called out Ed and Eric, my two Graul Maulers thinking I should pull up something more interesting. I grouped with them and told them to stay put while tried the mission terminal again. (Getting them to respond to the stay command is iffy.)

What I found on the mission terminal this time was not much better. I found Piket Longhorn Missions for about 9K, but listed at a much higher level than before. I thought, "Am I gonna have to group with others to get something of interest?" I don't want to do that. I solo for a reason. I don't like hunting/exploring with others much. That's why I group with my pets. There's no ninja looting, no arguments, no wait 10 minutes because someone has gotta do something, nocome-tank-for-me-because-Ican't attitudes from other players, and most importantly I can do what I want when I want to whether it be taming or punching. About as much interaction I want with other people is "how much for that vibroknuckler?" or "do you sell halfway decent Ubese armor?" Sure, I have many people I tell with, but as for grouping, I will only do it with them rarely.

My point here is, should we (not just TKA's) petition the devs to allow us to pick our own mission difficulties? Gee, if I want to take on a Kunga mission I know I will have a difficult time handling, let me do it. If I get killed more than I'd like, I can always abort the mission. I had to make my way to the force sensitive caves to find a couple of bile drenched quenkers to tame. Ugh.

Sorry for the rant, but this change really sucks., especially when everything on Shadowfire seems to be more expensive than elsewhere.

Hmm.. I made a few hundred K over the weekend working my way up the ranks in the rebellion (almost to Captain.. still a long way to go). The missions are easy and you get 5keach for them at TKMsolo. I slice them and get 8k each for them :-) These are also a good way to practice some anti-kiting techniques for PvP.

Find a rebel base out in the middle of nowhere (use /find) and go to town on those fascist pigs :-)

Yes, I miss the kamurithfarming as much as I miss the Pubam farming. If you've been playing for a while you must have expected it, though. There's still plenty of good missions to take, just not quite so ridiculously good.
