Entertainer's Star Wars Galaxies Credit Guide

As mentioned in the Entertainer's Leveling Guide, entertainers make a good portion of their money from the tips other players give them. After a hard day of grinding experience, there wounds a person suffers are not only physical, but mental. Watching a dancer or a musician gives an adventurer time to relax. The best thing to do is just be there when grinding experience, as there are players who will not tip an entertainer who is away from his keyboard.

Getting Star Wars Galaxies Credits by Doing Missions

Missions are short term quests that denizens of the galaxy ask adventurers to complete. These can be simple delivery tasks, a job hunting down a certain kind of monster, or in the case of bounty hunters tracking down one of the notorious criminals of the galaxy.

Each mission gives the player some credits and using certain terminals can give the player faction with either the Empire or the Rebellion, depending on which faction in the civil war the player has sided on. These will provide the bulk of money to the average player, as farming is possible in Star Wars Galaxies, but it is not as profitable as it is in other games.

Gaining Star Wars Galaxies Credits by Finding Exceptional Loot

Star Wars players do not go seeking powerful swords, although some items, such as the crystals used to make light sabers are in high demand. Even though magical items do not drop off the monstrous and not-so-monstrous creatures to be found in the Empire, it does happen that sometimes a non-player character possesses a well-crafted item that they reluctantly part with only after being forced to give it up.

A more practical way to do this is through reverse engineering of starship components. This loot can be obtained by pilots or gunners and then sold to a structures traders who specializes in building ships.

Good Luck Getting Credits

The author hopes the reader who cannot make the Kessel Run in under twelve units of measurement useful. As noted, it will not make the reader rich, and the author disapproves of credit guides, but they do occasionally serve a useful purpose.
