Hi there forum-dwellers! Played Wildstar at launch and I've come back for a month here and there since, but only in this last week or so have I actually gotten my character to 50. 
 
I'm just wondering what some reliable means to make plat are. I don't care about making a fortune, and I don't expect to just roll in money for zero effort. I don't however find farming fun, and so would prefer to primarily avoid the auction house if possible.
 
I've read quite a few things in the past about how easy it is to make plat at level 50, but thus far it's slow going for me, so I'm wondering if I'm not going after the best ways to make money. As it stands, I don't play all day every day, so there's that to consider, but I typically do at least one daily hub a day and run a few veteran shiphands. 
 
Am I overestimating how much platinum I should be making? Something like 1 plat/day would be ideal, I think, so I can afford to buy CREDD each month while slowly banking a bit of money over time. Is that a reasonable expectation?

			Running Vet Shiphands makes a large chunk of money fast. This Thread talks about which ones are the fastest. The renown is also a nice boost, since you could always use it to buy rune fragments to sell at the absolute worst case scenario. Or, if you find people who want Renown decor for housing, some people will pay a pretty penny for some of it. You can easily make 7+ Plat a day just running shiphands, if you dedicate your whole day to it, and that's just in flat gold from it, not including drops.

			Once you max out your elder gems for the week it becomes much easier to make plat as well. You can easily make plat just running through some daily quests after your elder gems are maxed, because the xp will convert to currency instead of gems.

Getting a gold medal on Shiphands rewards around 20g (almost 40g with the daily). If you look at Outpost M-13, a requirement is to complete it in 20 minutes (it's easily beatable in 12 or less, but roll with me). If you run M-13 4-5 times (maximum of an 100mins) you will have 1p. So doing that every day for 30 will net you 30p not including the money you get from what you make from the loot you get for running it. Assuming you do plan to do other things besides farm, as long as you are not spending money on stuff, you can afford to half the amount (2 shiphands everyday or 4 every other) and still afford the CREDD.
 
of course running the same Shiphand can burn a person out pretty quick if you don't have some really kickin music. What I found to be enjoyable is doing contracts while lazily doing dailies. Most of the contracts tell you to go kill 30 of some creature and almost every one of those creatures can be found in Northern Waste, Crimson Badlands, or Star-Comm. What I have been doing is depending on those contracts, go to the appropriate zone pick up every quest at the hub, and just play in the area until I complete the contract and just leave even if all the dailies are not done. The only shiphand I do now is whatever the daily quest asks. Going this way I have been making 2p everyday.

			Shiphands/ pbgs and contracts yo.  I make more than enough to cover credd just from pvp dailies and contracts myself.

1. Do your dailies everyday with your elder gems max, and then NPC all the loot you get from that area, easily 60~70 gold per zone.
 
2. Shiphands, super easy, and give you a lot of gold per run, 25~30 gold a run not including loot.
 
Do both together, get lots of gold, buy credd. keep on playing for no charge.

			There are of course, other more advanced, more specialized ways of making plat.  However, they require a rather large amount of time or plat as an investment - but pay off nicely.

Well the system Works imo. For the average player getting the plat for the Credd is very very hard. It takes alot of time, and for the average player you would normally play the fun parts of the game..e.g. vet Dungeons..and i cant say that i'm getting Rich by running that 3-5 times a week;) I don't have time to do dailies or other Things.
 
But some ppl spend most of their day in ws..for those to play for free its almost guaranteed.
 
Credd system Works Wonders, but some ppl say that WS is free already...its free for 0.5% of the population yes;)
