Complete Hidden Chain Invasions

Killing the Hidden Chain Lieutenant has a small chance to reward you with a Hidden Chain cosmetic armor piece. You can average upwards of 402 Million Credits per hour by selling Hidden Chain armor pieces on the GTN.

This credit making method only requirement is that you can damage the enemies of the planet the Invasion is active on in SWTOR:
25+ Tatooine, 37+ Hoth, 48+ Ilum, 55+ Rishi.
Meaning that you can participate and complete Hidden Chain Invasions as low as level 25+

Hidden Chain Invasions are a rare Dynamic Encounter that only appear once per hour.
You can find where the Hidden Chain Invasion is by looking for the large Invasion marker on your Map and travelling to the location.

Upon completing all stages, the Hidden Chain Lieutenant Boss will spawn, killing them has a chance of dropping a piece of the Hidden Chain armor set.
Even if you complete the Dynamic Encounter, you can still hang around and kill the boss when they respawn until the Hidden Chain Invasion timer (1 hour) runs out.

Assuming a Hidden Chain Lieutenant respawns once every 6 minutes, there are 10 chances per Hour to loot a piece of the Hidden Chain Armor Set. As there are 7 pieces of the set as expensive as with 3 pieces being worth 800 million credits, the average value of a Hidden Chain Armor Set piece is 402,000,000 credits.

This Credit making Method assumes you are able to Loot 1 Armor Piece per hour an hour and then sell it on the GTN later. It is uncommon but not rare to loot multiple Hidden Chain armor pieces within an Hour.

Augment 86 Schematics / Relentless Replication (Hardmode)

Farming the Relentless Replication Operation on Hardmode (Veteran) difficulty is currently the Best Method to earn Credits in SWTOR.
You can average upwards of 390 Million Credits per hour, with an Extra Bonus of 108 million Credits per Hour as personal loot.

This credit making method requires you to have a Subscription, 3 Level 80 characters and the ability to beat the Relentless Replication Operation in Hardmode (Veteran) difficulty in a group.

This method assumes that you are able to complete the Relentless Replication Operation in 20 minutes, spending 5 minutes forming a team and 15 minutes to defeat the Boss.
As this is a challenging Operation, only experienced Hardmode or Nightmare raiders in 340+ Gear are expected to beat the Operation in 20 minutes or under, per run.

Therefore, if you have a team of players able to beat the Operation, you have 3 chances (in one hour) to earn an Augment 86 Schematic. If you ean a schematic you can sell it on the GTN, with the average value being 141,214,285 credits.

Even if you do not win an Augment 86 Schematic, you will still make 36 million credits as an Extra Bonus from the Corrupted Bioprocessors you earn as personal loot from the Boss, assuming that you loot 18 Bioprocessors and sell them for 2,000,000 credits flat on the GTN.
That means 3 runs of Relentless Replication on Hardmode would reward you with 54 Corrupted Bioprocessors which you can sell for 108,000,000 credits if you do not win an Augment 86 Schematic drop.

If you wish to learn how to play or complete the Relentless Replication Operation for yourself, check out this Guide made by experienced Nightmare Raiders:

Complete the Relentless Replication Story Quest

Completing the Relentless Replication Story-Quest on any difficulty rewards you with 20 Corrupted Bioprocessors which you can sell on the GTN. You will also recieve an extra 1-4 Corrupted Bioprocessors as Personal Loot when you defeat XR-53.
You can average upwards of 132 Million Credits per hour, assuming you Loot 66 Corrupted Bioprocessors at a rate of 3 runs per Hour looting 22 Bioprocessors each.

This credit making method requires you to have a Subscription, 3 Level 80 characters and the ability to beat the Relentless Replication Operation in Storymode difficulty in a group.

This method assumes that you are able to complete the Relentless Replication Operation in 20 minutes, or 3 times per Hour.
As this is a slightly harder Story-difficulty Operation, you may want to read up on a Guide and equip 340+ Gear to beat the Operation in 20 minutes or under, per Character.

When you complete the Operation, make sure to loot your Personal Corrupted Bioprocessors (1-4) and Turn-In the Relentless Replication quest to recieve the other 20 Corrupted Bioprocessors.
You can now sell all of your Corrupted Bioprocessors on the GTN.
The current average selling rate of Bioprocessors is 2,000,00 credits, meaning that 22 Bioprocessors sell for 44 million credits.

Looting the Illumination Probe Decoration

Completing the Blood Hunt Flashpoint on any difficulty has a chance to reward you with the Illumination Probe Decoration as a Reward when you defeat the Final Boss of the Flashpoint.
The Illumination Probe Decoration currently sells for an average of 90 million credits on the GTN.

This credit making method requires a Level 55+ character to meet the Minimum Required level to access the Flashpoint, I suggest using a level 80 Character that can use Stealth to make completing the Flashpoint as fast as possible. Playing in a group will make your runs even faster as multiple players can help kill bosses quicker.

You can complete the Flashpoint on [Story] Difficulty in roughly 15 minutes as a Solo player using Stealth, which means that you have 4 chances per hour to unlock the Decoration.

Looting the Manned Blaster Turret Decoration

Completing the Colicoid Wargames Flashpoint on any difficulty has a chance to reward you with the Manned Blaster Turret as a Reward when you defeat the Final Boss of the Flashpoint.
The Manned Blaster Turret Decoration currently sells for an average of 400 million credits on the GTN.

This credit making method requires a Level 41+ character to meet the Minimum Required level to access the Flashpoint, I suggest using a level 80 Character that can use Stealth to make completing the Flashpoint as fast as possible. Playing in a group will make your runs even faster as multiple players can help kill bosses quicker.
It takes roughly 30-35 minutes at level 80 to complete the Flashpoint Solo, with 2 players it takes around 25 minutes.

As the decoration is a Personal Loot drop from the Final boss, players cannot steal it from each other. This means the more players you play with, the more chances there are that the Decoration will drop.

Farming the Freckled Loth-Cat Minipet

The Freckled Loth-Cat Kitten or ‘Catpuccino’ is a rare reward from Republic Dynamic Encounters on Hoth. It can be found from the following Dynamic Encounters:
• Wire You Doing That
• Wire Consequences
• Wire You So Cute

The Freckled Loth Cat currently sells for an average of 117 million Credits with this method assuming you will have to wait for 30 minutes of downtime between Dynamic Encounters.
As these quests involve no/little combat, you only need a Republic character capable of getting to Hoth to play the Dynamic Encounters.

As you can only complete a Dynamic Encounter once per cycle and each Dynamic Encounter lasting 5 minutes on average from Log In, Travel to Quest Completion, this method assumes you have 6 Republic characters that you can use to to complete each Dynamic Encounter 6 times every 30 minutes.

During testing a Loth Cat dropped once every two hours for members of our group, or on average of once for every 24 Dynamic encounters completed, for a rate of 58,500,000 credits per hour.

Gathering Grade 11 Crafting Materials on Onderon

Selling raw Grade 11 Materials obtained from the crew skills Archaeology, Bionanalysis, Scavenging or Slicing is one of the most reliable Solo player methods to earn Credits in SWTOR.
You can average 45 Million Credits per hour by selling all of the materials you gather directly on the GTN.

This credit making method requires you to have any 3 of the 4 ‘Gathering’ Crew Skills at level 700 and access to Onderon (Level 75).
While the video above suggests both Onderon and Mek-Sha, I recommend sticking to Onderon as future game updates added more hostile enemies that slow down Material Gathering on Mek-Sha.

The way to Gather the most Crafting Materials per hour at first is understanding the Layout of Onderon.
Crystal Nodes: Clustered mostly within the Caves and Tunnels between each segment of the map as well as the Ancient Sith Crypt map zone.
Bioanalysis Nodes: Clustered mostly around the Crashed Ship map zone and Untamed Territory map zone.
Scavenging Nodes: Located around the edges of Republic and Imperial bases as well as the Lake Encampments map zone.
Slicing Nodes: Clustered heavily within Iziz City (Republic) and Hunting Lodge (Imperial).

Once you are ready, run around the map of Onderon and make a mental note of all of the biggest locations where your 3 Crew Skill Materials can be gathered from and plan out a ‘route’ that you can repeat in laps.
If you do not have Slicing, you can avoid Iziz City (Republic) and Hunting Lodge (Imperial) completely.

It takes 15 full minutes for a Resource Node you have gathered to Respawn. Ideally you want to return to your Route’s starting position in 15 minutes, so that you can run in circles as Crafting Nodes respawn infront of you.

Once you have farmed Materials for around 50-55 minutes, go to the GTN and begin selling all of the Grade 11 Materials you have Gathered, you should have been able to gather at least a Thousand green quality Materials as well as Hundreds of Blue and Purple quality Grade 11 materials.
As most Grade 11 Materials sell between 1.5-5k Materials, you should be able to sell all Green, Blue and Purple quality materials from 3 Crew Skills for around 45-55 million credits, depending on the market that means you make 45,000,000 credits at worst.

Occasionally when you gather Slicing Nodes, you may rarely be rewarded with a Grade 11 Mission Discovery item. See the Legendary Embers Crew Skill credit making method below to read how you can make even more Credits.

Farming Tech Fragments from Operations

Farming the Dread Fortress Operation on Storymode difficulty is currently the benchmark method for Subscribers to earn Credits in SWTOR.
You can average upwards of 36 Million Credits per hour outside of extra loot which you can sell on the GTN.

This credit making method requires you to have a Subscription, 3 Level 80 characters and an Operations Group.

Completing the Dread Fortress Operation rewards you with 2,000 Tech Fragments, assuming you are able to complete 3 runs within 1 hour, taking no more then 20 minutes to complete each Raid.

After you have completed 3 runs of Dread Fortress, you will have made a minimum of 6,000 Tech Fragments. Go to the Spoils of War Vendor (Supplies Quadrant) of the Fleet and trade in your Tech Fragments for either OEM’s or RPM’s, you should have a few hundred Tech Fragments left over.

With the 3 OEM/RPMs in your inventory, you can sell them on the GTN for an average of 12,000,000 credits each, or 36 million credits an hour.

Farming Darth Revan’s Lightsaber Hilt

Looting the Vile Primeval Ardent Lightsaber can only be completed by Republic Characters that are specifically Level 50.
This method assumes you are able to Loot at least one Lightsaber per Hour, it has an Average GTN sale value of 33,000,000 credits which means you can make at least 30mil an hour.

This credit making method requires you to have a Level 50 Republic Character (Jedi have better loot chances). The moment your character reaches level 51, it is no longer possible to Loot Revan’s Lightsaber and you must start with a new character.

There are several different ways to get the Lightsaber as Loot:
1. Play the Coruscant Heroic: Republic’s Most Wanted. Kill every Boss in the Heroic area except for one and loot them all. Exit the Heroic area and Reset the Heroic in your Mission Log to try again.
2. Loot Security Chests and Large Chests on Corellia and Ilum.
3. Defeat Level 50 Elite and Champion mobs on Corellia and Ilum.

This Credit making Method assumes you are able to Loot 1 Lightsaber in under an hour and then sell it on the GTN later. In some instances players have looted 2-3 Lightsabers per Hour however they may take a long time to sell on the GTN.

Farming Tech Fragments from Voss Interpreters Retreat

Completing the Voss Interpreter’s Retreat Daily Quests is an underrated Credit making method in SWTOR for Preferred and Solo players that are level 80.
You can average upwards of 24 Million Credits per hour.

This credit making method requires you to have 6 or more characters that have completed the Legacy of the Sith for the Voss Interpreter’s Retreat.
Each Daily Quest rewards 100 Tech Fragments and can be completed in under a minute if you use Stealth.

The optimal path to complete all 6 Dailies is as Follows:

• Pick up all Daily Quests in the Voss City (Easing Anxieties, Let Them Drink, Ongoing Threats).
• Quick Travel immediately to the Gormak Worker Camp.
• Pick up all Daily Quests from the Workers Board (Cantina in Crisis, Really Piling Up, Security Reboot).
• Use the Cleanup Droid Maintenance Terminal and Loot Crate directly next to the Workers Board.
  • Enter the Phase and Complete the Cantina in Crisis mission.
  • Exit the Phase and Locate the Tools for Security Reboot mission.
• Run around using the special Droid from your Quest Tracker for the Really Piling Up mission as you repair the damaged monitors.
  • Complete both the Really Piling Up and Security Reboot missions at the same time.
• Quick Travel to the Shrine of Contemplation and complete the Ongoing Threats mission.
  • If you find yourself deep within the Shrine of Contemplation, quick travel back to the entry to speed up time.
• Exit the Shrine and complete the Let Them Drink mission.
  • Mount up and run back to the main Voss Retreat City to complete the Easing Anxieties mission.

Assuming you are able to complete a full run in 10 minutes, you will earn 600 Tech Fragments every 10 minutes, or 3,600 Tech Fragments per hour (6 runs of 10 minutes).

After you have made 3,600 Tech Fragments. Go to the Spoils of War Vendor (Supplies Quadrant) of the Fleet and trade in your Tech Fragments for either OEM’s or RPM’s.

With the 2 OEM/RPMs in your inventory, you can sell them on the GTN for an average of 12,000,000 credits each, or 24 million credits an hour.

Completing Conquest in a Guild

Completing your Weekly Conquest Points on a character in a Guild provides you with bonus items that can be sold on the GTN at the end of every week as long as the Guild your character is in completes the Conquest Week which can earn up to 12,750,000 credits per Hour.
It is recommended that you reach a Conquest Bonus of 150% to maximise your efficiency. You can increase your Conquest Bonus by purchasing and unlocking rooms in at least 8 strongholds (decorating does not matter).

This Credit Making method assumes you are able to complete Conquest on multiple characters in Guilds, and can complete your 100,000 Conquest Point requirement in 30 minutes per character.

Here is an accessible list of easy Conquest Objectives you can complete in order to make 100,000 Conquest Points or more in under 30 minutes (with a 150% Conquest Bonus).

The quickest planets to complete Daily Area: Patrol on are: Ziost, Yavin IV, CZ-198, Black Hole, Onderon, Ossus.
Assuming each Patrol is worth 24,000 Points, you can complete Conquest by doing any 4-5 valuable Daily Area: Patrol’s and making up the remaining Conquest Points from the NPCs killed along the way.

Once you have completed your Personal Conquest Objective, you will be instantly rewarded 500 Tech Fragments and an extra 500 Tech Fragments and your choice from 1 of 3 Encryptions at the end of each week.
This means you earn a total of 1000 Tech Fragments and 1 Encryption, valued at 750,000 credits every 30 minutes for a total of 2000 Tech Fragments and 2 Encryptions per Hour (at the end of each week).

After you have made 2,000 Tech Fragments. Go to the Spoils of War Vendor (Supplies Quadrant) of the Fleet and trade in your Tech Fragments for either an OEM or RPM.

Complete the Shroud of Memory KOTFE Chapter

Completing the KOTFE Shroud of Memory bonus chapter of Knights of the Fallen Empire earns an average of 12.6 Million Credits per hour.

This credit making method requires access to the Shroud of Memory Bonus Chapter, which was previously given away to Subscribers as a Reward during Knights of the Fallen Empire (2015). Otherwise it must be Unlocked from the Cartel Market.

Completing the Shroud of Memory Chapter rewards 10 Self-Learning Fabricator Matrix companion gifts.

This credit making method assumes you are able to complete the Shroud of Memory Chapter in 20 minutes, skipping all dialogue and only fighting mandatory enemies in the Chapter. This means you should be able to complete the Shroud of Memory chapter 3 times per hour.

That means 3 runs of the Shroud of Memory chapter would reward you with 30 Self-Learning Fabricator Matrix which you can sell for an average of 420,000 credits each for a total of 12,600,000 credits.

Completing Conquest without a Guild

Completing your Weekly Conquest Points on a character without a Guild provides you with Tech Fragments and Conquest Commendations that can be traded and sold on the GTN which can earn up to a passive income of 8 million credits.

Ideally it should take around 30 minutes to complete Conquest if you have Characters Level 71 or higher and a 150% Conquest Stronghold Bonus. You can increase your Conquest Bonus by purchasing and unlocking rooms in at least 8 strongholds (decorating does not matter).

Here is an accessible list of combinable Conquest Objectives you can complete in order to make 100,000 Conquest Points per character:

Dynamic Encounters on a Character (requires group but easy to find):
Dynamic Encounters Pinnacle (Complete 15 Tatooine Dynamic Encounters) – 82,000 Points

Daily Areas on a character (easy, casual, soloable):
Daily Area: Patrol (Complete 1 [Weekly] of Daily Missions on a specific Daily Area) – Between 18,125-32,875 Points each area. Every week will have a different ratio of ‘high value’ Patrols and ‘low value’ Patrols.
The quickest planets to complete Daily Area: Patrol on are: Ziost, Yavin IV, CZ-198, Black Hole, Onderon, Ossus.
Assuming each Patrol is worth 24,000 Points, you can complete Conquest by doing any 4-5 valuable Daily Area: Patrol’s and making up the remaining Conquest Points from the NPCs killed along the way.

Once you have completed your Personal Conquest Objective on 3 characters, you will be instantly rewarded 500 Tech Fragments and 200 Conquest Commendations per character for a total of 1,500 Tech Fragments and 600 Conquest Commenations.
As you have only made 1,500 Tech Fragments, you need to exchange 400 Conquest Commendations for 2 bags of Tech Fragments at the Level 80 ConquestGear Vendor on Fleet (Supplies Quadrant) for a new total of 1,900 Tech Fragments.

After you have the Tech Fragments. Go to the Spoils of War Vendor (Supplies Quadrant) of the Fleet and trade in your Tech Fragments for either an OEM or RPM.

With the OEM/RPM in your inventory, you can sell them all on the GTN for an average of 12,000,000 credits per OEM/RPM for a total value of 8,000,000 Credits per hour.

Playing Arena PvP

Completing the Arena [Weekly] Quest on a character provides you with Tech Fragments and Legendary Embers which can be sold for a combined average of 13,050,000 Credits.
You can do this 3 times a week, per character.

The average Arena Match in SWTOR lasts for around 5 minutes, assuming that you have a Win Rate of 50%, it means that it will take you 8 matches to Complete the Warzone Weekly, which will take roughly 2 Hours or less.

I highly suggest only playing Arena PvP at Level 80 once you have already Upgraded your Legendary Implants and are Equipping Thyrsian 336, Blue-quality 340 or Rakata 344 Gear, otherwise you will have a Gear Disadvantage which will lead to losing more Arena PvP Matches
If you would like to improve your Arena PvP skills in SWTOR, I suggest this guide:

Once you have completed the Weekly, go to the Spoils of War Vendor on Fleet and exchange your Tech Fragments. Your Legendary Embers are also worth 350,000 credits each.

After you have made 2,000 Tech Fragments. Go to the Spoils of War Vendor (Supplies Quadrant) of the Fleet and trade in your Tech Fragments for either an OEM or RPM.

With the OEM/RPM in your inventory and 3 Legendary Embers, you can sell them all on the GTN for an average of 12,000,000 credits per OEM/RPM and 350,000 per Legendary Ember for a total value of 13,050,000 Credits or 6.525 million credits an hour.

Playing PvP Warzones

Completing the Warzone [Weekly] Quest on a character provides you with Tech Fragments and Legendary Embers which can be sold for a combined average of 13,050,000 Credits.
You can do this 3 times a week, per character.

The average PvP Warzone in SWTOR lasts for around 20 minutes, assuming that you have a Win Rate of 50%, it means that it will take you 6 matches to Complete the Warzone Weekly, which will take roughly 2 Hours or less.

Once you have completed the Weekly, go to the Spoils of War Vendor on Fleet and exchange your Tech Fragments. Your Legendary Embers are also worth 350,000 credits each.

After you have made 2,000 Tech Fragments. Go to the Spoils of War Vendor (Supplies Quadrant) of the Fleet and trade in your Tech Fragments for either an OEM or RPM.

With the OEM/RPM in your inventory and 3 Legendary Embers, you can sell them all on the GTN for an average of 12,000,000 credits per OEM/RPM and 350,000 per Legendary Ember for a total value of 13,050,000 Credits or 6.525 million credits an hour.

Farming Legendary Embers from Crew Skill Missions

Completing Grade 11 Discovery Missions are a completely AFK way for any player to make a passive average income of 5.25 million Credits per hour.

This credit making method requires you to have at least one Gathering or Mission Crew Skill at level 680 (Grade 11). Any of the following Crew Skills can work: Archaeology, Bioanalysis, Scavenging, Slicing, Diplomacy, Investigation, Treasure Hunting or Underworld Trading.

Do Not purchase Grade 11 Discovery Mission items from the GTN as the average price is 1-1.5 million credits per mission! Grade 11 Discovery Missions can be earned for Free when you farm Grade 11 Crafting Materials using the Slicing Crew Skill.
An hour of farming Crew Skills can net around 5-10 Grade 11 Discovery Missions per hour, or 7 on average. There is a guide above on how to effectively farm Grade 11 Crafting Materials on Onderon.

A companion with Level 50 Influence has a 75% chance to Critically Succeed and a Mission time of 26 minutes 47 seconds.
A companion with Level 1 Influence has a 1.5% chance to Critically Succeed and a Mission time of 1 hour, 46 minutes, 5 seconds.

This credit making method assumes you will be using 3 companions at Influence Level 50 to run 6 Discovery Missions in approximating the Critical Success rate is only 50% (half).
You will earn an average of 15 Legendary Embers (3 Success rewarding 1 Ember each, 3 Crit Success rewarding 4 embers each) which are worth 350,000 credits each on average on the GTN, meaning that you can sell 15 Legendary Embers for 5,250,000 credits.

Crafting Black, Red or Gray Dye Modules

Crafting Deep Red/Black, Black/Deep Red and Gray Dye Modules are a completely AFK way for any player to make an average of 3.68 million Credits per hour.

This credit making method requires you to have at least the Artifice Crew Skill at level 420 (Grade 4) as well as the necessary Dye Modules available to Craft, which may require Reputation with Oricon or Section X.
I also recommend at least one Companion with Level 50 Influence in order to achieve maximum crafting and material gathering efficiency.

Do Not purchase the Crafting Materials from the GTN or else you will make little or no profit. Instead spend 30 minutes farming materials and 30 minutes crafting the Dye Modules.
As the Dye Module market is very volatile with the price changing every day, you may want to research which dyes are the best for you to sell, currently the best selling Dye Modules on average are:
Black/Deep Red: 230,000 credits
Deep Red/Black: 230,000 credits
White/Light Gray: 200,000 credits
Gray/Dark Blue: 260,000 credits
Dark Blue/Gray: 260,000 credits

Once you have gathered Materials as well as the necessary Bonded Attachments for 30 minutes, it is time to begin crafting which can now be done completely AFK.

This credit making method assumes that an Influence 50 Companion will be able to craft 6 Dye Modules in 30 minutes, with 2 extra Dye Modules coming from Critical Successes on average, as well as using 2 other Influence 20 Companions to craft 4 Dye Modules each without any Critical Success.

This means that you can craft around 16 Dye Modules in 30 minutes when using 3 Companions, assuming each Dye Module is sold at a rate of 230,000 each for a total of 3,680,000 Credits.

Complete Tatooine Heroics in a Group
