Thread: AH and Crafting

Hi - one the most enjoyable aspects of an mmo is the AH and crafting!! I've read the JT threads on it, and I'm learning as I go w/ my companion & crafting in-game. I was surprised at how quickly the credits rolled in...by level 13 had something like ~6K credits..which i can understand to some degree as most lower AH items are ~200-300 creds on The Ebon Hawk. I've made some creds already w/ the very low mods...but do any of you find the AH search a bit tedious? I would like to simply "shift+click" the item in my bag, into the text box of the AH UI. Anyone else miss this? and having to choose three drop down items, then search, then finally able to use the text filter - it gets a bit, tedious as I said. Is there an easier/better way?

Also - can someone post specific threads discussing each of or some of the basic info main craft vs. gathering vs mission crafting? I"m a bit confused and not sure what to do? I went w/ the in-game suggestions of Armortech, scavening and investigation for the Smuggler. Not really sure what I'm doing but I'm leveling it up and making a bit of creds w/ it! lol, help an old man out and explain this? Either way, I'm going over to TORHead too : ) thanks!!

The GTN is pretty rough to use if you are used to what other games offer, but you tend to get used to it after a while, it's certainly doable.

As far as crew skills go, the codex is pretty good at telling you what to pick with your crafting profession, as the gathering + mission crew skill is what you are going to need to be able to get all the items to make any recipe you are going to get (premium, prototype, and artifact). Hope that helps.

thanks - GTN yep, that's what I must start calling it! lol - Codex...well I get those dings throughtout the play, but never ever read them! lol, I'll change that up and read a bit tonight Thanks again, you've helped a great deal, here and other threads...as i learn more, hopefully I can pay it forward. Thanks again!
