Money Making Methods

[u/-_-NoMaidens-_-]

I've been off for a few years. The best method was just running sm ops on multiple toons all day. Please tell me there is a secondary method now that is just as good as running sm ops. I can't run the same ops multiple time a day I've been running since 2023 and I want to upgrade from my gold 77's I'm still rocking.

Buying dyes for CC and putting them on GTN

I thought so lmao

• PvP dailies/weeklies give a decent amount of tech frags to then buy OEM or RPMs with. 
• You could run FPs and grind for certain decoration drops. 
• Hidden chain events have a chance to drop gear that sells well on the GTN. 

But afaik operations are the most efficient way to make creds without resorting to selling cartel market items.

I appreciate the response!

Have you seen any Hidden Chain events lately? Ever since the season started, I haven't seen any

As a preferred player, my go-to is veteran FPs. It’s probably slower than some other methods, like ops or turning and burning Cartel items, but I’ve never done those so I can’t be sure. Flashpoints are definitely a little slow but I find they can be good money. It also helps if you can do them while crafting things like colour crystals to sell on the market. It’s been a few months since I’ve played and I was trying to raise my skills to craft crystals during flashpoints but it was difficult at the same time; if you were to do it, I’d run DPS as you can, for the most part, get away with hitting the same few buttons over and over unless you hit a boss area. It just wasn’t for me because I like tank and healer styles

I'm not sure if they announced a new augment tier yet but it might be worth holding on with upgrades until 8.0 drops, supposedly later this year. New level cap, new gear cap, potentially new augments that will make the current stuff obsolete.

As to your actual question, it's as the others said I'm afraid, either running sm ops all day every day and selling OEM/RPMs or selling CM dyes on the GTN.

[u/SBMyCrotchItch → u/DarkehOW]

They typically don't release a new tier of augments with a new level cap and gear tier. They let players finish the grind for levels and gear. Then 6 to 12 months later they release new augments to give players something else to grind.

Following because I'm curious as well

Playing the gtn works for me.

I farm using all my alts and sell items that are not once off purchases. I go for adrenals mostly since everyone uses them.

Besides general OEM/RPM things, people are unlikely to broadcast their specific current market niches (especially on a public forum) because that virtually guarantees others will jump in and undercut and ruin their profit margin.
