Ok so you have made the ever elusive level 50. You have liberated Karagga's Palace and Eternity Vault and all that have opposed you. Explosive Conflict is dreading your visits. The question that you have now is what do you do to fill up the time between operation runs? How does one continue to play SWTOR without getting bored out of your mind? I have come up with a few ideas to perhaps make your non-operation time a bit more fun and pleasurable.
1) Level another toon. You may say, "Where is the fun in that?" I submit to you that leveling an alt is a good way to pass the time. First of all, Bioware went through the trouble in developing eight different classes in the SWTOR world. Each with their own unique story and minions....ok, companions. You have only finished 12.5% of all the story lines out there. That is like taking your first toon and only leveling it to three bars into level six. "But I don't want another level 50 toon that I have to take care of." OK, I can see your point there. Then if you dont want to finish the entire story line for said alt, then at least take it to the end of Chapter Two. That is where your main toon will get the added benefit of having another buff to throw on your group during ops. If you are making the walk of shame back to where the boss left you strewn about, and your lone Sage is being stingy with his buff, you can fill the void. You can look back at how you got your alt Sage through Chapter Two and smile as you give everyone the buff that they were longing for.
2) The dreaded "D" word. Yes, I went there. I will even go so far and say it. Dalies. Nooooo, anything but that. Well, let's look at it from a different angle. Do you like cash? I sure do. If you are one of the few that doesn't like cash, all I can say is that I will bite the bullet and take that heavy burden of cash off your hands. I have made well over 200,000 credits running dailies. Not only do you get cash rewards from completing the missions, but you also get to loot dead bodies and relieve them of their cash. Hell, they aren't going to use it. Let it fill your coffers. You say you want the ability to send and recieve mail while you are on your ship. Guess what, that takes creds my friend. That and legacy level. Perfect segway to my next angle, legacy leveling. Dalies are a great way to get your legacy level up to be able to purchace the new items that arrived in 1.2. Now I confess, I haven't crunched the numbers on it, but I can tell you at legacy level 35, one set of Illum dalies got me up about 10%ish.
More to come. Stay tuned for Part 2
