Tip: Pathros - Salt Mines

Pax recently noted that the regenerate time for the prisoners is now closer to normal.  No more quick resets.

A great place to earn credits is in the Pathros salt mines. At level five you can still enter all three shafts and the prisoners there regenerate quickly. So after you make a run through all the shafts and go to sell the salt they drop (nice payoff for these) the prisoners should have popped back up, if not it will still be a short wait.

If you get a TK helm, you should be able to fly through the NPCs here. There's only one really hard kill if your atts and skills are high. If you don't have a TK helmet, there are some good heals in the bar and there is a shop to buy sobers in on Pathros too.

There's a trick to ordering the sobers: wait until the shopkeeper asks "what can I get you hun" before ordering.

The npcs in the last two shafts also give a lot of experience: the hard kill gives 19k and is only time consuming because you run from the room repeatedly. At one point I was making nearly 100k credits and who knows how much exp (cprof of around 2.5k) an hour there. If you get bored, the rest of the planet offers plenty of other places to explore before you return to the mines.
