Soon. The main trick is that rich and to a lesser extend bountiful is where the money comes from. Normal missions about break even over time, and are really only for skill ups. If you’re looking for money, you’ll often have to drop down a tier or two for better boxes. That, of course, is a tradeoff as it will slow your skill gain.
The money isn’t THAT amazing, it’s just that it’s a strong source of positive income, and opposed to the slow drain of crafting. Over time you’ll end up with a lot more cash than someone who doesn’t have it if you’re diligent.

Damn! I get kicked from the server every hour or so… One of the solutions should be to lower my firewall! Fat chance!

So since we have a few Powertech tanks here included, what are your rotations/priorities?
I’m hitting rocket punch at highest priority currently, but beyond that it breaks down. I use the flame burst after that usually. When there are tightly spaced groups, flamethrower.
Hmm.
Added my CE Keyfob when I got it.
Then Downloaded the Android App.
Noticed that there is no way to remove your Keyfob or replace it on their web page.
Wonders what now.
- Sell keyfob
- ???
- Profit!
I would guess you’d have to phone customer service to get the keyfob removed, then you could add the Android app on the website.
However, I’ll point out that in all the years I played WoW, the number of times someone with a phone app had phone issues and then realized they hadn’t written down the master ID (or whatever it is) for their app >>>> the number of times someone lost or had a damaged keyfob (one guildmate’s cat ate his, and I can’t think of any other). So from my experience, the keyfob is the more reliable of the two techniques as long as you’re not logging in from different computers all the time.
Where does one acquire Fibrous Nylite Solution (a crafting material) in game, anyway?

Its either Treasurehunting or Archelogy, lvl 1 that gives you that.
edit: Some Crew skill crafting vendors I think have it as well
I have never seen it come from either of thoser. And I clearly haven’t found the right vendor yet. Shit. I maybe missed one at the imperial fleet?

its where I get them from all the time…hmm, do you have acces to the second tier of gathering missions? It may be that they only appear as an option after that.
edit: the crew skill vendors are on every planet I think.

You can get it from Archaeology missions, but the primary source is just the Crew Skills Vendor. It does popup occasionally in Archaeology missions, and if you can get it there, it is going to be cheaper than from the vendor (assuming the mission doesn’t fail). Probably at least 30% less, maybe more, depending on how lucky you get.

Each of the tiers has a different item you can get either from the Crew Skills Vendor or from Archaeology. I think the Fibrous Nylite Solution is tier one and Endicott Silk (or something sounding like that) is Tier Three. I can’t recall the name of the Tier Two stuff.

BTW, that crew skills vendor on Coruscant is under the Senate plaza where all the vendors, trainers and whatnot are.
Seem like ydejin may be the one who showed me. :)
Let me say again, I love this game. I have spent over 50 hours playing since my early release access last Thursday. I do not think I have spent that much time doing anything ever in a week’s time. My wife and kids have lost me.

Just heard on a random swtor podcast. If you complete missions/quests and the accept dialogue box disappears. Often in your open right hand corner there will be a blinking quest marker with the word pending next to it. Click on that to get your mission complete dialogue back!

Yeah, that is also helpful if you need to compare equipment rewards with different companions or need to clear out inventory space. You can do whatever you want and even turn in two or more quests and they will all show up as a pending total in that upper right-hand corner.
I’ve got one set of gloves (level 27 light armor in Synthweaving) that just will not yield an improved schematic with RE. I’ve burned probably 20-30 of these thiings… no dice. I wonder if not everything is able to be improved.
I had a stim that did the same thing. I suppose it’s just a random chance so theoretically you can just get really unlucky. One thing I noticed is that sometimes the upgraded schematic shows up later, with no notification. Double check and make sure that you don’t already have it. I’ve had upgraded schematics show up on my list hours after I thought I failed an RE. I’m assuming that’s a bug.
In an early Beta I played an IA lvls 1-10 in Hutta, and I thought at the time this was going to be a good game, although many scoffed :) It is, as I said it would be, and as it couldn’t not have been, KOTOR with other people.
I realized today that even the pastelly art design is almost like a sort of rose-tinted reminiscence of KOTOR graphics. As if 2003 graphics had gone in the direction of being the best 2003 graphics they could possibly be, instead of the direction graphics did go (“photorealism”).
CRPG-wise, I’m particularly pleased with the occasional “grey area” morally, where I have to actually think for a bit. I’m also pleased that I don’t always feel the need just to accept a quest, I can refuse quests quite comfortably. (It’s particularly cool that your faction is separate from your moral choices - so you can play a bad guy having doubts about the Empire, or a good guy turning to the dark side, or whatever. Someone mentioned in chat the other day about how many “emo Sith” there are :) )
I feel I’m often reacting to the “puppets” themselves - whether I like the cut of their jib or not (synergy between actor and animation skills). The characters do tend to “telegraph” their moral standing; but that’s a good thing, it means I’m more inclined to sit through their chat, and spend time actually living the game :)
It’s not hugely innovative in terms of MMO mechanics (except maybe crafting), but it’s innovative (as promised) in bringing this kind of storytelling to the MMO, and it does (perhaps) incline one to be less of a goon when interacting with others in the game - more inclined to get immersed and play the role.
As always, the question about this game’s longevity remains, but while it’s lasting, it’s a hell of a lot of fun.

Well it kinda depends are you talking solo or in a group? Solo my rotation is all over the place but if I am tanking in a group this is what I do,
Try and start with Death from above (sometimes you can’t be cause jackass people in the group can’t fucking wait 2 seconds).
Then I will pick a mob that is furthest away and use electro dart on it for some CC (because no one else fucking knows what the fuck CC is)
By this time I most likely have to use my Energy Shield because the fucking healer is close to letting me die because he is dpsing and not paying attention to my health.
I’ll use my neural dart on any mobs that are not focused on me and I will try and get them in a pack so I can use Flame thrower and Flame Sweep. (Grapple really helps)
I’ll use flame burst on the mob that I have targeted (the 4% damage reduction really helps you not die)
Then Rocket Punch / Unload / Rail Shot rotations seem to work really good at keeping the mobs attention.
Tanking in a group is kinda chaotic at level 26 because people really don’t grasp the idea of grouping (I’m really not sure why since a lot of the people I have been grouping with have played WoW) and the fact that they need to let the damn tank pull.
Make sure you include being a biochemist in any tank rotation.
I can’t count the times that FREQUENT use of biochemistry has saved me while tanking.
I always have the long term stat buff (fort) up in a group. ALWAYS. this is basically like having another piece of armor equipped at all times over people who don’t use one. I change it to +strength (sith warrior) when soloing for extra OOPMH.
I use my big heal stimpack on a lot of pulls because as marcus said, pretty often the healer is kind of slow on noticing things.
I FREQUENTLY use a short term armor buff stim. As a sith warrior i have 2 huge defense buffs from my class (and i get a third in a +30% health buff “soon”), this armor stim gives me a third. I FREQUENTLY use these in pulls to survive when the healer is a bit slow.
I don’t see how a non biochemist would survive. You’d have to spend a fortune on buying all of these stims and crap every group mission.
Oh and one of the problems is that nobody has played wow. BY this i mean almost nobody CCs and NOBODY focus fires (everyone attacks their own target, making it a huge pain to tank). Both of these things lead to the healer having to heal the rest of the party more which leads to me getting less healing. GAHHH

As the tank, start marking targets and telling people the designated kill order before you pull. Even people who never played WoW before (or only played during the face-rolling era of WotLK) should be able to follow that kind of simple instruction.
