Star Wars: The Old Republic is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) set in the Star Wars universe. Players can choose to play as either the Galactic Republic or Sith Empire faction and can create characters from one of eight classes. The game features a variety of content, including questing, crafting, player-versus-player (PvP) combat, space combat missions, and more. Players can choose to play either as a free-to-play account or subscribe to a VIP account to get additional benefits. There is no credit limit on VIP accounts and they automatically get access to extra content, such as Section X and the third crew skill slot. The game also features a variety of cosmetic items that can be found in the Cartel Store, which can be accessed by purchasing Cartel Points. Players can also build their own personal Strongholds, or join Guild Strongholds, and customize them with their own decorations. With over a dozen years of content, Star Wars: The Old Republic has something for everyone.
As players embark on their adventure, they are introduced to a multitude of characters, enemies, and challenges. To navigate this world and make progress, players need a currency that can be used to purchase items and services within the game. This currency is known as the SWTOR Galactic Credit, which is universally accepted throughout the galaxy. In this currency, players can buy goods from vendors, purchase items from the Galactic Trade Network, and earn them by participating in various activities such as quests and PVP battles. The SWTOR Credits are an essential aspect of the game, and players must learn to acquire, manage and spend them wisely to progress and succeed in the game.
There are several ways to make money in SWTOR. Completing missions, flashpoints, crafting, trading with other players, and using the GTN are all viable options. By using these methods, you can accumulate credits which will help you in the game.
Completing Missions
You can make money from conquest objectives, heroics, and other missions in the game. If you are already at 306 item rating, you can pick up gear which can be sold for credits. When you complete missions that reward you with legendary gold gear or gear with 300+ item rating, you can earn a fair amount of credits.
Flashpoints
Flashpoints are a great alternative to heroics. They are fast to grind through and provide you with gold level gear. Individual pieces such as enhancements, mods, and arm rings do not sell for a lot of credits, but whole pieces such as chess piece, boots, and gloves can sell for a lot to vendors.
Galactic Trade Network
The GTN is a good source to make credits as it allows you to sell items that you do not need or want. You can put items on the GTN for a price that you think is reasonable and wait for other players to purchase them.
Crafting
There are several crafting materials that players are willing to buy. Some players craft augments and gear for different levels which can be sold for a good price. You can buy crafting materials from the GTN and craft items that are in high demand.
Trading with Other Players
Another way to make money in SWTOR is to trade with other players. Some players are willing to pay for items that they do not want to spend time getting. This can include crafting materials, gear, and mounts.
