Introduction
My characters are currently holding ALOT of Common Data Crystals (CDC) and since they have better gear than what is available for CDCs, I am looking for ways to transform them into credits.
Question
What is the highest guaranteed credits/CDC ratio available, and how do I get it?
NOTE: As selling on GTN is not guaranteed, I am looking for options that does not include trading/selling with other players.
Best Answer
I decided to do some experimenting, while trying out the Level 8 Shield idea provided in another answer and found the following:
This yields 830 credits per Common Data Crystal if you wait for the timer to runt out, or 829.625 credits per Common Data Crystal if you send them to an alt (as each mail can hold 8 armorings).
Answer:
The maximum amount of credits per Common data Crystal is 830 credits/crystal and is achieved by buying Versatile Armoring 42 from the Level 60 Modifications Vendor on Republic/Imperial Fleet.
