A Super Easy Strategy guide to earning SWTOR Credits

By Truman Mahmud


If there's one thing MMORPGs and real life have in common, it's that they both require "participants" to have some sort of income to survive. Star Wars: The Old Republic is really no different in this manner. No doubt you will need gear upgrades, repairs, transportation and to craft items. All of these things are going to cost you credits. While leveling, these credits become especially important as you will be getting new armor frequently.

Just like a regular nine to five job, earning credits can be a tiresome, tedious task. At least this is true for those who aren't aware of these five simple tips that will have you earning credits faster than you can spend them.

Take Advantage of Gathering Skills: If you're familiar with any MMO, you're probably well aware of the "gathering" skills. Just about any RPG has it. To put it simply, it is the profession that includes the gathering of materials needed for crafting. Crafting skills can often be a money sink, so try to avoid wasting materials on them until you've reached a higher level. Take advantage of those gathering skills you've acquired by farming for materials. Many players have found more success from harvesting themselves rather than having their companions do it for them. There are four gathering skills in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Archaeology, Bioanalysis, Scavenging and Slicing. Archaeology allows you to locate imbued items like Lightsaber crystals and even ancient artifacts. With Bioanalysis you collect genetic materials from creatures and plants and Scavenging allows you to recover materials and parts from old or dilapidated technology. Slicing gives you the skills to access secured computer systems and lockboxes that can give you valuable data or schematics. Slicing is the preferred skill as it seems to be the most profitable of the gathering professions. However, if you do not wish to go that route, make sure you heavily farm whichever one you do choose. Take the materials you've gathered and sell them on the GTN (Galactic Trade Network) to other players.

Loot Everything: Make it a point to never leave any loot behind. Even if the items appear to be junk, they can always be sold for credits. Anything that is picked up should be given to your companions so that they may sell it for you. They will earn a lot more credits 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.

Take Advantage of Warzones: The Star Wars equivalent of a battleground is Warzones. These are, more or less, PVP games, but they also earn you credits. Additionally, you will gain valor, commendations and experience.

Evaluate Your Server's Economy: Check out your local GTN and see what's lacking. Most of the time you'll be able to pick up on these things while leveling because you'll need them yourself. Once you've found some things that your server is lacking, you can in turn become the supplier with your current character, or a secondary (alternate) one.

Implementing these five easy steps into your daily gaming routine should ensure you have the credits for whatever you may need. Learning to leverage the GTN to your advantage can bring you unlimited amounts of credits. Find what works for you and have fun with it. Happy hunting!
