A Very Simple Guide book to making Star Wars: The Old Republic Credits

By Lewis Ludwig


Just like most MMO games, money is at the heart of the Star Wars: The Old Republic gaming experience. Craft materials, gear upgrades, repairs and travel aren't free, unfortunately. Without adequate funds, it's hard to progress or fully enjoy all that the game has to offer. It becomes especially important during the leveling process as you will obtaining new gear quite often and gaining new skills. In the SWTOR galaxy, income comes in the form of credits and you're going to need a lot of them.

Earning credits can be a tedious chore, but I'm going to give you five simple SWTOR tips to help you on your way. Before you know it, you'll have a nice cushion of savings to get you all the items you will need and thus enjoy your gaming experience all the more.

Make Use of Those Gathering Skills: Gathering skills are by and large the most profitable of the SWTOR skills. This is true for most MMO games and role playing games in general. This skill requires players to gather certain materials that are typically used for crafting items. Most crafting skills are highly unprofitable and are only useful for high level players. Nevertheless, these items are always in high demand. Make it a point to gather items as often as possible. Your companions can also do some harvesting for you, but most people find it easier to just do it themselves. As far as skill types go, there are four in this game: Slicing, Archaeology, Scavenging and Bioanalysis. Slicing gives the player access to secure computer systems and the ability to open lockboxes. Archaeology is the gathering of ancient artifacts and imbued items like Lightsaber Crystals. Scavenging is the skill that allows players to gather materials from dilapidated or old technology. Bioanalyis is the gathering of genetic materials from plants and creatures. Of all the skills, Slicing is considered the most profitable, but if this isn't your cup of tea, you can always make use of the others. Once materials are gathered, they should be put on the GTN, or Galactic Trade Network, so other players may purchase them.

Loot, Loot, Loot: It should go without saying - loot every single item you can. Remember even junk has value! Take all of the "junk" and send your companions off to sell it for you. They'll make more money than you would doing it yourself.

Finish All Daily Space Missions: Daily space missions will also make you a good amount of credits. If you are diligent about completing them everyday, you can easily accumulate a nice cushion of credits in just a week.

Participate in Warzones: Warzones, or PvP, will also earn you some nice credits. In addition, you'll also be earning valor, experience, and commendations.

Check out the Economy of Your Server: Take a look at the Galactic Trade Network on your server and see what items are in short supply. Think about items that you personally need or needed and start there. If you can pinpoint which items are in demand, you can fill the market and make a lot of credits. You will then become the supplier for those items.

Take advantage of these five simple tips and start including them in your daily gaming routine. Before you know it, you will be swimming in credits and able to buy any and all ship upgrades. Choosing activities that are fun for you also makes the process that much easier.
