How to Get Involved in the C.R.E.D.D. Market
There is no definitive best time to get involved in the C.R.E.D.D. market. Before getting involved, you should spend several days watching the prices as they fluctuate, until you have a comfortable measure of where the market is going. Several indicators that you are probably prepared for purchasing your first C.R.E.D.D. are:
1.You have at least 1.5p more than the current price of C.R.E.D.D.
2.You are confident C.R.E.D.D.'s market price is currently lower than the average
3.You are currently in the process of earning more money through other means
The 1.5p leftover after your C.R.E.D.D. purchase is meant to be your buffer - that should be what you see as 0g. Use that money only if necessary.
Your first C.R.E.D.D. is not meant for consumption. That C.R.E.D.D. is an asset that you will use to continue making wealth. Continue to track the C.R.E.D.D. market over time. When you see a notable change in price (50g+) up, sell the C.R.E.D.D., and save the profit. When the price falls back down, reinvest that money back into a C.R.E.D.D., and repeat.
Although the adage 'Buy low, sell high' oversimplifies things, C.R.E.D.D. as a market will be driven by a fairly trackable cycle that will help simplify the market for those who invest. Because WildStar's monthly cycle will end for most players at the end of each month, the price for C.R.E.D.D. will (probably) go up dramatically near the end of the month, and will (probably) drop back down several days later. This makes for a helpful long-term buy / sell cycle, if you're willing to wait for peak prices.
How to Sustain Yourself
Once you've sold your first C.R.E.D.D., you're not quite in the clear yet. If you want to be able to continue working the C.R.E.D.D. market, your goal should be to continuously flip C.R.E.D.D. until your profits are equal or greater than the cost of a C.R.E.D.D. itself. Depending on how skilled you are at playing the market, and how many C.R.E.D.D. you can afford to keep in circulation, this may take anywhere between 2-4 C.R.E.D.D. to do effectively. Your goal should be to avoid an actual monetary setback when you purchase your C.R.E.D.D. for your game time.
Although you can opt to farm for the money to purchase your C.R.E.D.D. each month, depending on which server you play on, you may be spending many hours farming to earn enough platinum to keep playing, only to sustain yourself to do more farming to continue playing. By investing and learning to utilize the C.R.E.D.D. market, you can not only increase your overall wealth, but save yourself a large amount of time.
Once you have a sustained income system and your subscription is covered, you can begin to make more frivolous purchases, and can begin to invest in the money sinks, such as housing or raiding.
