Haven't choose a profession yet.

Level 24 Jedi Sentinel.

What would be the best to make the most credits and or benefit me the most?

Heard slicing for money, was recently dumbed down but still good profit

i did slicing while leveling along with my two gathering proff (investigation/scavenging) and dropped slicing at 50 for armstech

Ya the networth for slicing has really gone down. You may as well though pick it up while you level so you can slice the nodes you find in the game as well as send your other companion out. When you hit around max though you will probably want to drop it for something a bit more profitable. Scavenging for me was a good idea to make some money on the ah.

I was looking at artificing (sp?)

Thoughts?

If not, might go splicing.

the end crafting skill you want is either Biomed or Cybertech. They have reusable consumables at 400 skill which vastly outclass anything you get from the other professions.

For bio, id do treasure hunting (actually better money maker than slicing since the nerf and you can gear as you level), bio analysis and biochem. Last 2 being the gathering skill and crafting skill you need. When you get close to 50, drop treasure hunting and pick up diplomacy to get to level 5 of whichever alignment you are and get rare crafting mats to make reusable shit...until you get the biometric crystals.

The best Crew skill atm is Biochem, as no other crew skill is good @ 50.

So hopefully within a couple of weeks the rest crew skills will be buffed - but for now you should use Biochem.

Biochem yep!

keep in mind professions are due for change sooner or later
