As with any MMORPG, currency is an integral part of the game and experience. Be it
materials for crafting, gear upgrades, repairs or transportation, you're going to need some
cash. Without it, you may find yourself stuck at a standstil . This is especially true while you're
leveling as you'l be exchanging gear often and learning new skil s. Star Wars: The Old
Republic is no different in this way.
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 al the more.
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 skil s 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 col ect genetic materials from
creatures and plants and Scavenging al ows 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, Loot, Loot
It should go without saying - loot every single item you can. Remember even junk has value!
Take al of the "junk" and send your companions off to sel it for you. They'll make more
money than you would doing it yourself.

Complete Daily Space Missions/Quests
Make sure you complete al the daily quests as they can earn you a nice amount of credits.
Rinse and repeat everyday! There is a great post over on the SWTOR forums that gives some
greater detail on what the dailies entail.
Participate in Warzones
Warzones, or PvP, will also earn you some nice credits. In addition, you'll also be earning
valor, experience, and commendations.
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!
