Thanks alot for your input. I think i will go with a combination of the methods that EoADaimyo and OsirisOrion use. so, (H + A + M) + (armor = 25k) + (1k per 10 resist) + (2k per special).

Sounds reasonable at least. More worthwhile then selling at 1k per CL because its not like going out to tame a creature, you have to take the time to get the differnt DNA for the right combination. This justifies the amout of time spent and the initial investment cost in the development stage without dramatically inflating the price.

For tissues Will try out the 150cr per point formula and see how the response goes.

Pet stim/vit wise think will probably do 1k for Vit A and 2500-2750 for Pet Stim B depending on how powerful i can get it to be.

Let me know what you think of this pricing

hmm, actually doing some more reading, i think i will for go selling non ch pets and mounts. with the dawn of the New Driod Engineer and the combat droids, i believe that segment of our market will die off completely untill a time comes when it is deamed overpowered and nerfed.

Looks like i will be specialising in the CH segment, pet medicaland tissues

I've noticed that BE's have a major tendency to over charge.. I don't see what the big deal is. i've been a master BE for MONTHS and I don't account the dying and insurance and clonging and crap into my pets.. Why? Quite Frankly because I make a million a week with my pets and I sell them with one simple formula. 1k per lvl for pets without armor and 2k per lvl for pets with armor. This is regardless of what attacks/ham/damage or whatnot is in the pet.. OR how many times I died.. If I die, it's my fault, i'm not putting it on the customer.

When reading this forum I mainly see two things:

BEs complaining making top-grade pets is too hard (failures etc)

Minor complaints regardin the BE class (minor compared to other classes)

Coming from other pars of the professions (I took BE because holocron told me to, but I really love it so far) all I can say is that i think BE has the BEST deal so far in SWG history!!! Why? Because not only do we get the most complex (interesting/worthwhile) crafting profession in the game - we also get a profession that supplies the best! pets to 2/3rds of our fellow players out there.

What it all boils down to is this: do you want a "template" profession where every skill-less "grind" newbie could perform as well as any master or do you want a profession where the sky is the limit and the true -* MASTERS *- can perform miracles that us mortals can only dream of...

Somebody posted a spreadsheet soon after the patch went live that I found great for pricing my pets, I just wish I remember the name (sorry for not being able to give credit where it's due). I've not had any problems selling every item on my vendors using this.

Perhaps the author or someone in the know could post a link and appropriate credit

That sounds great, do you have the spread sheet on you? maybe you can email me?

This is how much i charge for my creations: http://www.xyberviri.net/cgi/swg-be2.cgi

here is a example of what a day or two's worth of clone and recloneing can do:

Wow, im cheap I only charge 500 creds per CL. although im still only a 3/3/4/3 so not master yet.

Normally I go with the 1k per CL, unless I manage to make a better pet with a lower level (i.e. so non-CH can use it) in which case I go a little higher. Conversely, a pet with average to not-so-good stats but a higher level (i.e. non-CH can't use it) will be a little cheaper on my vendor, simply because it's a more specialised market (if you follow me.)

Wow, nice tool Xyberviri.

I've prolly destroyed/sampled around 100k worth of pets then.

Balls.

I usually charge 25K for my great pets, these are the ones I would keep myself if I had the space. Good pets are 20K and the rest are 10-15K. I usually make 4 a day and they always sell. These are usually armored pets with disease/poison ranged. Have not had any complaints and they continue to sell daily. I am on Gorath Server

wow Xyberviri, nice tool

honestly i just say that i'm sellin a BE pet and most of the time some one offers me some creds

i got 15k for 5k ham kaadu with a ranged attack, dizzy attack and KD attack and 90-150 damage\

forgot what the resists were

had on armor

and hey, the person offred that much too
