#later tonight I’m dragging him on my credit farming run of heroics

the only downside of SWTOR’s new trade-tax is that I can no longer afford my boyfriend’s shopping sprees. I love him, but dude has some expensive tastes and he doesn’t exactly credit farm. He also will only buy the item from a set that he wants. Which is why he has like 3 of the same ridiculously expensive chest pieces all bound to his account instead of unlocking the full outfit in collections and redeeming it whenever he wants to.

So last night he decided to ask me for crafting tips so he can sell stuff and get back to over a billion creds, instead of him just crafting outfits and stims for his personal use.

Y’all. I have a linked 8+ pages spreadsheet on the cost of to make just about everything in-game. from the average price-per-item based on the crew skill missions, to dye mods, stims, augments, etc...

He doesn’t like the character hopping aspect. He’d rather buy materials off the GTN than hop onto another character, send the comps on crew skill missions, and repeat until he can craft whatever it is. I had to break out that spreadsheet and show him that it would not be a good idea to do that. since. you know. the economy is inflated like the Goodyear Blimp. Cheaper to spend 30 minutes watching TV and logging in and out to do crew missions and run heroics to pay for the missions.

And then i had to look him in the eye and tell him most of my fortune is from dye mods and augment kits built up over years of doing this.

I’m prepared to be entertained for the next couple days as he figures this out.
