I'm been on server for a while but I have not figured out a good way to make money beside farming sls. I'm qvic geared able to take tofs floor 1/2.
People been telling me to tier up and cash comes easy. My question is how. I want to work on my first uw and weighing cash flow from where I am now vs t4-t5.
Cash certainly comes easy in later tiers....much much later tiers. I was cash strapped until T7 or T8...my definition of cash strapped is that i didnt have tens of millions of plat to start my UW....so i didnt do an UW until i was in T8.
As boring as it is - SLS is the most reliable way to make plat at your level but i would encourage you to forego the UW until much later down the line. Make sure your Strike augs are current with each tier and your damage should be find as long as you have a good group make up or are boxing 12+. My personal opinions on selling essences/GSOA are that you should hold onto them because you will need them. I would maybe sell my first 2 GSOAs to get enough cash to start my UW...but that is assuming i have the ability to farm up the essences.
Lastly i wanted to mention the Free Waypoint reward item....or just playing in pub....instances can be a huge plat drain.
