  • A ton of tips and tricks about how to make credits in SWTOR! What to do with data crystals, heroics, and even tips for PvP credits. A little bit about playing the GTN and the cartel market too.
    Keep in mind these tricks will likely be different when 5.0 Knights of the Eternal Throne rolls around.
    The Academy is a series focused on the basics of SWTOR (Star Wars: The Old Republic). If you want to listen to more, tune in to Ootinicast's latest episodes.

    UPDATES for 5.0
    KNIGHTS OF THE FALLEN EMPIRE
    - Heroics have been downgraded, but are still a good way to earn credits.
    - Warzone commendations no longer exist. Warzone commendation decorations have been converted to decorations you can buy simply with credits.
    - Warzone dailies and weeklies now offer a bonus reward on top of their extra credit reward. Make sure to sell any crafting materials you get from your daily and weekly reward on the GTN!
    - Conquest rewards are a great way to earn credits.
    - Crystal currency no longer exists. It got converted into credits when 5.0 rolled around. You can no longer buy crystal currency items on Odessen.

    Just wanna tell a story :D I once role played as a Bounty Hunter offering to help lowies with their PvE enemies they could not handle, or even other players later. It was a very fun game, people even payed for that and I later payed another Hunter/Mercenary for the same reasons. It was really a fun way to role play, I can really recommend carying this ingame culture on. Not for the money but for the great RP opportunity...

    before kotet and such i was repeating heroics since the monster drop tons of credits. I was doing the merc one on Voss since there was a Champion level boss that dropped a blue item each time. good profit, just dont forget to abandon your quest and take it back for another round and I main pub so the Imp counterpart is unknown to me. The other place that was incredible for aoe farming was illum. There an open world heroic there that has a nice respawn rate for the monster but usually theres people farming there so dont expect to be lonewolf. Flashpoints for level 50 was a thing back then but now they are separated into master veteran difficulties so probably running veteran FPs with a fully geared 70 toon could be another option since the credit drops are pretty similar to the heroics.

      Artifice crafted color crystals are purple bordered, meaning a F2P or Preferred player would need to spend Cartel Coins on "Authorization: Artifact Equipment" to be able to use them (2700 for account unlock). This greatly limits the number of customers you'd have. Those players will just buy a green bordered lightsaber for peanuts and remove its color crystal. The only exception is for colors that can't be found in drops, like purple, but most people only want blue or red.

      Hehehe. Depends what your goal of making credits is! Some people try to get a big number - like 10 million or 1 billion. Others make credits to spend them. Personally I rarely keep more than 5 million at any time because I like having rare items instead.
