In a nutshell: the author outlines how to run through the BT FP in about 10-12 minutes (if not less) and make about 40k credits. So, in theory you could make about 350k in two hours.
Is that actually a great credit:minute ratio?
Is there much value in doing that? I mean, credits are great but only go so far? They aren't going to get you your sets of BoP items.
I find I make lots doing dailies, and dailies give you comms as well. Which can be traded in for some good Tier 2-3 Implants.
Secondly I sell Guns on the Market. Having a good purple, Blaster Rifle, Pistol, and Sniper Rifle helps sell one or two a day sometimes at about 50-60K a piece. There is an initial effort in that, as you have to Reverse Engineer a lot of guns to get the right purple variation. But seems to have worked out well.
Farming certain Champions can yield decent BoE gear (blues/oranges) that I find sell anywhere betweem 15-45K as well. I dont know what my actual creds/min is in comparison to the above, but I know I have more money then I really need. I'm at something silly like 2.7M I think. So there really is no point for me to waste time doing that now, when I should be doing PvP or FPs for the Tier 2-3 Gears.
You can get Barrels, and some Dailies (Heroic Ones) let you pick MODS/Enh too. Which are BoE as well, so you can make use or sell them for like ~20-30K
I dont think you can make Implants as good as these, but I'd be pleasently surprised if you could. I cant remember the stats, but I know there are better than the Tier 2 Champion Gear ... and maybe even better then the Battlemaster ones. (minus the expertise bonuses), havnt compared them to the PvE sets.
Umm no you only get tokens for those for doing Hard Mode FPs. (as far as i know)
Took me about 25 mins? I made 30k, kept a few oranges for my companions, could probably cut that time down in a future run, first time I had been there.
