You get Hutt Cartel for free as a subscriber, and it's cheaper to subscribe for a month then to buy it. So I wouldn't count that in...

Actually didn't know that! I bought it back when it came out.

Still, it's not a bad deal if you're just coming back.

Treat me like an idiot. How the gently caress do I make easy money in this game. When I last played (first month heh) slicing was easy money but it looks like it no longer gives you like 5 times the amount of credits.

Slicing, still. can be fairly easy money if you crack chests. Especially on Yavin and to a lesser extent, Rishi. But Yavin has one area where there's a ton of slicing nodes that constantly respawn. Plus you can do dailies while you're at it, I guess.

Farming Battle of Ilum HM. With a 10 lvl difference you have a nearly 100% resist chance so soloing is no problem.

Have Slicing while running dailies.

Like every MMO ever play the GTN.

My PvE guild has started selling NiM/HM runs and are clearing about 200 million a week.

Selling runs? What, like carrying a player through an op? How on earth do you effectively 7 man the new HM ops :psyduck:

F2P and Preferred need to use tokens to do some (all?) of the Ops. So they're putting those on the GTN.

Yeah basically carrying a single DPS through on 8 or 2 on 16 depending on the Op. Haven't sold any Rav/ToS yet still working on alts ourselves.

NiM DF/DP is the popular item anyways. There are several guilds on Harb doing this.

Slicing is minimum hassle, but scavenging or bioanalysis have better yields if you can be arsed to sell things. At least on the server I am at (red eclipse). It's especially true at lower skill levels, rank 2-3 crew missions can give 4x-5x returns.

Don't feel bad, the TNG main raid group took one look at the new raids and all quit to go play cat people in FF14 or drink alone or knit as i can only assume

We took at least two looks, mind you, and I don't think either time we had a healer who had ever done a raid before. If our group wasn't already half fallen apart, the new raids wouldn't have killed it.

I know, i was kidding. Savarra vanishing was the beginning of the end. :)

I was actually looking forward to trying them with our normal group, but after our break in November, there weren't any real times that we were all online and had to pick up 2-3 at all times, which got a bit frustrating.

I don't miss raiding per se (getting 8 hours of sleep on a regular basis has largely improved my disposition at work) but like I miss the weird stories and then also drunken shouting. :I

I'll be looking for an EU server come the end of next month but will be a complete newbie - I played a trooper to ~20ish before and never really knew what I was doing, is Progenitor probably my best best for a reasonable server?

Apologies if you aren't EU, I'm an occasional thread lurker and am just making wild assumptions.

I can probably do that. I don't think my BF will be up to visit that weekend, so I can probably devolve into some sort of disgusting goonlord while my dog looks on in concern.

Progenitor is the most active EU realm, I -think-? I'm on there and have a Sith side Guild which is, er, empty! But happy to guild up and chill'n poo poo.

Correction: Never healed any endgame content at all!

I've reached a point in FF14 where I've seen all the new content I want to see and I'm basically just grinding for gear/alt class xp and I'm tempted to come back to SWTOR.

Not tempted enough to pay for it yet, but tempted

I'm in an active (mostly) PvE guild on Red Eclipse, EU non-RP server. Hit me up if you end up there.
