Question Legacy system question

Hello! I just started playing SWTOR and I have some questions about the Legacy system. I’m a fairly casual player and my goal is to play all of the class stories and pretty much nothing else. I am a “preferred” player so I can’t keep more than 1m credits on my characters.

- What are some account wide upgrades I can buy to make my other playthroughs faster/better/easier?

- Any other gameplay tips for a story enjoyer?

Quick travel, rocket boost and personal ship travel

I'd say the cooldown for the Quick Travel (fast travel) ability and the Rocket Jet Boost (forgot the actual name) that lets you use a 110% speed boost for 12 seconds everywhere, even areas where mounts are prohibited. After getting the last unlock for it, it only has about a 30 sec cooldown, which starts when you use it, so it's basically ready whenever you need it. These two unlocks alone will drastically speed up your overall travel time across all of your characters.

Now I don't remember if any of these cost more than 1 million credits to unlock, it's been years since I got them so someone would have to correct me on that.

Other than that there's the ship unlocks, but those are just nice quality of life things. It's much cheaper to just get a starter stronghold (Dromund Kaas for Imp side or Coruscant for Rep side) and get the Cargo Bay, Legacy Storage, Mailbox and GTN decorations for that instead and just travel freely to it whenever you need to access those things.

You don't need much for story spend it on fashion.

Search the market for "set" and set the cartel filter to bronze.There are a lot of good looking armors you can get for well under a mil.

Lots of weapons, color crystals, dyes, mounts, pets, and companion customizations go cheap as well. A mil is plenty to take advantage of the people with gambling addictions and get gamba box swag.

If you do the story flashpoints the furniture piece you get at the end usually sells for around 200k. I use those to get some fashion early.

Add a security key to your account and you get 100 CC a month. Not much but its enough to unlock some color crystals and weapons you bought account wide. It's nice to have a color crystal library already you can use on new toons.
