Anyone got a reasonable guess as to about how many credits is takes on average to get a certificate? I don't care much about the mounts, but I need about a dozen certs to get the items I want.

As long as entering any new zone more complicated than my ship doesn't take me more than 10 minutes, it'll be an improvement.

I've heard it gets better after chapter one. Which is about where I stopped playing. Gotta get back into that.

Ye gods, I wish there was an accelerated playthrough type options. I want to try, say, a lightside sorcerer, already gone through darkside sorcerer, but shudder at the thought of going through all of the sidequest grinding yet again.

Just doing class quests and flash points works reasonably well, I've been doing that with an operative over the double xp week. Only problem is your comm income has difficulty keeping up, but stripping mods out of gear in fps alleviates that some if you get lucky with drops.

So I caved to my inner geek and decided to get this game (F2P for now). Is there a handy newbie guide anywhere so I can get up to scratch before inflicting myself on a goon guild?

The game's pretty drat simple, I'm pretty new and only recently have started checking out guides for endgame gearing, where it starts to get more serious. The only things that aren't self explanatory are some of the stats with more obtuse sounding names. Surge rating is for better crits and alacrity is basically haste. Your class will use one offensive stat (Strength for warriors, Willpower for inquisitors, Cunning for agents, and Aim for bounty hunters) and Endurance. The other things you'll want will depend on what role you try to fill in groups.

Is there a "correct" way to set up one's action bar as a healer? Should I have two action bars set up, one for healing and one for solo PvE and switch between the two? How do ya'll do it.

As an operative healer, I just have one action bar I use for both. Cooldowns and stuff I don't need to use constantly are on sidebars that I click. I'd probably use a dedicated healing one for ops though, as I do have a few things I click now that I'd probably want to hotkey, and I don't think I'll be using overload shot or throwing grenades as much there as I do in flashpoints.

The raid tonight was a lot of fun, someone even got their character to level 55 during the raid. I got 5 upgrades too.

Do we have anyone in guild who can make the 180 rating skill barrels? I'm close to having all the mats (just need 75 comms to buy the isotope-5, and that's not hard to get when the weeklies just reset).

Super. I'd much prefer that to hoping some pubbie doesn't make off with my parts, and those guys who spam fleet about trading completed barrels for mats are never around when you're actually looking for them.

Yeah, turns out this is true. Called out once, and had a guy offering instantly. Do these guys do this hoping to crit and get twice the barrels?

Not really interested in this games PVP. Between flashpoints, Section X, Black Hole, and CZ-198 there isn't much time left in a day anyway. I figured I would have to do some at least for the Relics but I'll put that off as long as possible.

Getting 1400 wz comms pre-55 so you don't have to contend with the shitlords in the 55 bracket is a good idea. Kinda too late now though.

Browsing through it, seems the majority of it amounts to "have shitloads of the blue/purple mission skill mats". And the rank 7 junk is just used for the pvp related decorations, and thankfully aren't used for that many different things.

25 bucks for storage space, booya space grandma, sign me up. Yeah no, I'll stick to mailing poo poo to alts. Maybe stick crafting mats that are usable by multiple manufacturers (scavenged stuff and sliced tech mostly) in the free slot legacy bank.

Maybe for some people. I, on the other hand, have been stashing away crafting mats for just such an occasion. The only thing I need is legacy storage to consolidate the important ones.

I've been keeping my companions occupied gathering the blue/purple quality mats for a bit now. Probably gonna profiteer off of it rather than make much though.

I think its goddamn hilarious that the game is gonna basically have interior design leaderboards though.
