I broke down and traded out Cybertech for Slicing on my Agent (which makes her Slicing/Scavenging/Underworld Trading). The weird little OCD completionist in me wants to take a crafting skill if for no other reason than to 'complete it' and have all the purple recipes and all that poo poo (I know, I am exactly the kind of idiot MMOs are made for) but there's SO MUCH stuff I need credits for that I wasn't even leveling it anyway, so I figure I may as well have another income stream coming in via lockboxes and in-world security crates and poo poo even if it seems relatively minor cash (so far).

It's a credit sink that eventually pays for itself especially since you can make poo poo for your alts, but for your first toon it's hard to keep up on it and you're definitely not going to MAKE money on it. Early on I made a ton of money with my Biochem on my first character, but that's only because not too many people understood how reverse engineering worked and I was able to sell the "best" level 49 purple implants that no one else had the recipe for because they just saw purple as purple - but that was three years ago and you're going to now make way more money just selling mats than you will finished product. Even the endgame items such as hilts and barrels, profit only comes from crafting the item for people with their mats and hoping it crits so you get an extra one to sell.

I agree with you re: crafting but I'd add the asterix that since Conquest was added to the game, gathering skills are more profitable now than they ever have been since pretty much all crafting materials, particularly biochem mats, are selling for a premium on the GTN.

I remember taking Synthweaving on my very first character. I RE'd everything and so never had anything to sell. Considering this is a character that a) never grouped - still at social 1 - and b) never PVP'd - still at valor rank 1 - I was constantly broke. There were a few levels where I had to choose which skill I would train since I couldn't afford them all... Now I have over 20 million in the bank, mostly from playing GTN stock market. Suck it 99%ers!

I leveled it to 450 but I haven't done the math, is it ever worth it? Is it only a good investment when you're stumbling into slicing nodes out in the world? Once I maxed out Slicing I've pretty been creating level 5 Companion Gifts for my alts with Underworld Trading instead.

Never do slicing for missions. You do it for the fact that just running around black hole and other level 50 daily areas you get 10-20 chests with 1000ish credits in them getting all the nodes you can. This just goes up in post 50 areas like CZ, Oricon, and Makeb, and will likely do so again when the cap raises.

So I started a Smuggler and god drat is this tonally the complete opposite of Empire storylines. My dude just completely lost it when the ship got stolen, it was great. Do we have any real Republic-side presence/guild?

I guess that would be directed at the people who hit level 47, ran to 55 on Makeb and gave up on the story stuff. Either way, a poorly geared 55 could easily finish out act 3 in less then an hour. Also, what the gently caress does "critical" path for SoR mean?

It's because it's practically worthless. Those are the common drops from recent packs, so if someone bought a hyper crate they'd end up with like 10 of them. Cool if you're going to use it, but don't think you're gonna flip it.

Nah I'm going to open all of them for Collections unlocks  Now if only there was a Shrewd Racscal's Jacket on the market for less than 650k+, that thing is sweet looking.

There was supposed to be some sort of puzzle that would give you T3 gear to help out with it but it was bugged for a while. I only beat the fight because of a different bug. I did and rezzed to the med center and when I came back the boss had the quest icon over its head.

I had a guy suggest splitting up on the prisoner room of KDY (SM) but fortunately the other guys in the group were cool and were like "uhhhh let's not do that" we almost wiped anyway iirc (I don't even think it was because someone knocked the dude off the platform).
