I just started SWTOR a couple days ago and a lot of it was overwhelming. I'm slowly but surely learning the game but one thing i was stuck on was how to make a lot of credits so thank you SO much for this very, very informative video. It's helped me a lot!

[@Draemn]

I experimented with editing and different recording styles on this one. It took me about 6h to make and edit this video. What do you think? Typically I do a voice over content that's pre-recorded but in this one I decided to split up the webcam and video so I could edit the content behind the camera. This allows me to better match the video with the talking points, but it did add a lot of complexity to the editing and processing.

[@humandisaster3902]

Definitely an effective editing style and it came out really well, but of course do what's best for you. You make good content either way, but I would guess this is more digestible to new players. Idk what your particular editing process is like, but it could be worth just seeing if there are corners you can cut or something like that.

[@EverSpec]

Love the content! You inspired me to start making swtor videos myself. I would love to collaborate at some point if you're interested. I think we could create something pretty sweet!

[@Draemn]

@@EverSpec For sure, feel free to reach out to me on my discord server or on reddit (youtube comments is not a great way)

Looks and sounds good keep it up

[@JIMBOBSARCADE]

​@@Draemnwhat's the best way to help my guild like I've done Max conquest on like three characters this week. I've got 15 hours left. Should I just max conquest all my other six characters? The items that I get? How do I donate to them? Should I go to the flagship for any reason? I only ever just barely first did my weekly world boss quest so forgive me. I've been on and off this game since it opened. I loved it when it opened. I actually like the improved version of it now. Thanks!

[@feelickss]

Thanks for this informative guide! Just started playing swtor and subbed to you :)

[@danielbrchel6147]

Then dont beleve him.. create 4 chars min.. take them to 75 and then craft dark project and change it on fleet to flag ship plans witch u can trade for big plan, witch u can sell for 150 mil minimum... because by game time u realise thet 25mil is like cofe mony there. .. Enjoy game :)

[@DustinBKerensky97]

7:52 I hate to give away my money maker but the 3 Jawa Scrap items (I forget the names) that you end up with 8,000+ from deconstructing gear can be exchanged for crafting materials in the Cartel section of fleet. So a find some crafting material that is in short supply on the GTN (level5-9 materials do surprisingly well) and costs less than 10 units of Jawa scrap from the vendor in the cartel zone. Then put it up for sale for 5 credits less per unit than the lowest one currently for sale (undercutting the competition but not by too much). And you'll sell millions in a day before the next person undercuts you. It involves playing the GTN a little, about 10-15 minutes of work at the end of a play shift. But when you logon the next day you find 10 million or more waiting in your mail. The amount of effort you put into researching and diversifying your sales affects how effective your return is; but even mindlessly dumping a bunch of mats into the GTN for $5000 a piece to get rid of your Jawa Scrap will get you money for something you have too much of anyway. And if you price yourself too low, either a crafter gets a good bargain on mats, or one of the people that really plays the GTN will buy and resell your mats, benefitting both you and them.

[@Draemn]

Yep, a good way to occasionally inject a bit of extra cash! Same as things like cleaning out your legendary embers, or solid resource matrix.

[@MrZyprez]

Also a very good way to earn alot is to learn the gtn.. buy cheap sell for alot more! Can get from 100m to 1b each time you log in;)

[@attackfinch8397]

Awesome video. As a returning player from years ago it's nice to find out how to grind them credits once I hit max level, which should be soon.

[@mingklytus]

Great Video!

[@Newt.--.Jaeden]

For those new players out there, I feel like there should be someone who can confirm on this specific topic: Credit "Scam" Websites. Note: Buying Credits from 3rd Party Website *is* a bannable offence, on an EA level. They will Terminate your EA Account, meaning any other games you play that are owned by EA will loose their online modes, and some will just become entirely unplayable. For Example: Getting your EA Account Terminated via Buying Credits in SWTOR will mean you cannot play games such as Battlefront 2, Fifa, Apex Legends, or any other EA Owned Game. That said, yes, these websites do tend to work, and you often won't get caught buying credits if you do it in moderation. But I absolutely *do not* recommend you use them. The risk:reward isn't worth it, especially when it is so easy to make money in the current state of the game if you put in the work.

[@MrZyprez]

But also.. those sites are waaaaaay overpriced XD its a joke to buy from them.. if you want to/can spent real money then buy cc and buy hypercrates!! Always 1b or more to get from those crates;)

[@Newt.--.Jaeden]

@@MrZyprez The prices really aren't that bad dependant on which websites you use. *Again: Not Condoning the Use of Illegal Credit Purchasing*, but some websites charge ~£6 for 1,000,000,000 Credits, vs Spending £20 on a Cartel Pack that may or may not give you something valuable.

[@silassheppard5574]

So excited for Legacy of the Sith! Thanks for the tipps! :D

[@Ziseth]

I create my own TC groups almost every day on 7-10 characters, as I find that much more efficient than looking for other groups forming. And I get around 8 runs done in an hour.. Maybe 6-7 if not during peak hours. 8 Runs gives me about 6.000 Fragments which equates to around 30m credits with the current prices of RPM on my server.. counting embers and other stuff this is around ~34m / hour, which is the best method I've found outside of playing the GTN or simply selling CM items.

[@Draemn]

Yep

[@nicholasroach880]

I like your video Creds aren't an issue for me but your advice is good for those who can't or don't want to play the market. I tend to play hardball on the market with some items that I can sell for high profit. Some in the hundreds of millions. Most of the time because people don't know what they have.

[@Draemn]

Thanks. I try to give advice that will work for a range of different players and is reliable and easily repeatable.

[@nicholasroach880]

@@Draemn Most welcome. This was very straightforward. I like it when people make easy to understand guides for new players or struggling players. I am glad that you are pushing this good advice forward. Keep up the good work.

[@teamofone1219]

The fastest way I’ve seen to make credits is to buy dyes off the cartel market. They are pretty cheap, they always go for a lot of credits, they aren’t legacy bound so people always needs them, and they sell pretty quickly usually within a 3 day time period.

[@Draemn]

For sure, if you want to spend cartel coins, this is the best way

[@daviddavidov8398]

It’s a shame that there is no compound interest but it would totally make sense in Star Wars

[@heidimerz8207]

I craft all kinds of stuff, lower level crafting materials sell for a lot more than level 11. Because level 11 stuff you naturally pick up as you are doing higher level planets.

[@Draemn]

It's a very complex world out there! I know certain grades are in high demand, but others not so much. I never bothered to figure it out but I'm glad you did :)

[@steveleblanc1566]

I find gathered mats level 10 and less sell better, everyone go after level 11 sometimes making them sell for less than lev. 2 mats. Slicing lock boxes with crew missions give gathering missions sell for 100,000 to 300,000 or run them your self for more, most of the time. Not bad considering you can do both and play the game all at the same time.

[@Draemn]

Could be a server thing. On my server there is a real big demand for grade 11 vs the supply. Prices are crazy. Easy to gather over 100m/h just from onderon or mek-sha.

[@jamesrhodes6073]

Buying credits is the best thing I've discovered in SWTOR 💯

[@Draemn]

you know Bioware/EA has problem when it's massively cheaper to buy credits than to buy CC...

[@Fanalooker]

Do you recommend subscribing and making a new character now or waiting for the expansion to come out?

[@tristesor3432]

Depending on when the Expansion comes out, subscribe that you would be a subscriber when it happens. Lets say the Expansion launches on the 15th of January. If you sub now for one month, you would not get the expansion for free. Also no need to make a new Character at all, you can just play your already existing once!

[@Fanalooker]

@@tristesor3432 Thanks for the answer. I thought the release of the expansion is scheduled for December 14, 2021. I wasn't sure the old characters could benefit from the upgrades.

[@Draemn]

The only reason I'd wait for Dec 14 to make a new character is if you really want your first combat style to be different than the class story. The game has so much to offer and play that will not change when the expansion drops, so there is a ton of content to work on that will feel the same pre or post expansion... except the combat style feature they've added. You don't even need to be a subscriber for the first little bit as you're unlikely to hit the Free to Play restrictions in your first 10h of gameplay.

[@ShadowZeroFlame]

@@Fanalooker It was delayed to February 15 2022

[@duberdurm]

I always wait until after xpac releases to sub (at minimal). You never know what's going to happen with these devs.

[@lordzox5926]

wait, there's tax evasion in guilds? is that like a conquest perk?

[@Draemn]

It's a guild flagship perk! Only if your guild sets it up though.

[@smooty8587]

I had a some cartel coins built up from subbing so i bought 2 Sets and sold them both on gtn and i got a bit over 2 billion from that, ridiculous

[@GoldnShadow]

Is the slicing gathering skill worth grinding out on planets? I normally just send crew missions and at the end of the day sell the missions and make around ~2-4mil if i hit crits regularly

[@Draemn]

Personal preference, but I do it

[@Draemn]

I forgot to say, if you can do the missions yourself you always make way more profit than selling them on the GTN. I did some tracking of the average amount of legendary embers I found and most of the time just the legendary embers are worth more than the going rate for the discovery mission.

[@GoldnShadow]

@@Draemn What do you mean by doing the missions yourself? Do you mean going to planets to slice gathering missions? You can get Legendary Embers from doing this? Thanks for remembering, loving your videos only channel I have notifications for honestly

[@Draemn]

I mean claiming the mission on a character with that gathering skill and sending out a crew to perform the mission. You get a ton of materials + a chance to get legendary embers from having your companion run the mission.

[@GoldnShadow]

@@Draemn Interesting

[@ReveredDead]

Am I the only bummed that we haven't got a cinematic trailer yet?

[@Draemn]

Far from it. It seems most people who aren't bummed are only saying "If the trade off was no trailer or less stuff in 7.0, I'll take no trailer."

[@ReveredDead]

@@Draemn You really this that is how Bioware thinks? Lol bare minimum is what I remember from 6.0.

[@Tylantia]

They cost a lot and won't ever happen again, in game asset movies is it and tbh 7.0 is still a hot mess.

just buy swtor credits online! wala! u beat the game lol!

Lol those scamming sites! 50m credits is around 200-250$ while u pay around 30$ for 5500cc then buy hypercrates on cartel market!! Those will give u stuff between 1b - 3b

[@SvendleBerries]

Yeah, much better to just buy and sell hypercrates than risk being banned over a measley 50 mil.
