Im personally using more Stim Bs than ever. These AR1, good kinetic resist pets arent as great as everyone makes them out to be. Mine take more damage than my gruals ever did before the patch. As such I find myself flying through stims like crazy.

My pet stim sales have declined, but not for lack of demand. Rather, my sales have declined due to lack of supply. I'm having a hard time acquiring all the necessary resources -- especially when hunters are trying to charge 30 cpu for 900 quality meat.

I did some math and concluded that 30 cpu for Pet Stim C's would consume some 80% of the cost for an item which took up only about 22% of the materials used.

So instead I'm working on mastering CH to make my own hunting easier. I'm already Master Scout, in addition to being Master BE.

I have had to take my vendors off the map because I can't keep my pet stims in stock. I have noticed a serious increase in sales of all type in my shop. I figured it was due to the holidays with everyone off of work and school and playing and buying a lot more.

My sales have gone up in stims and vitality packs (I sell crates and singles), I also sell pet food and basic camps by the crate, and those are a big hit (lots of return business).

Decrease in pet stim sales? Yes, a little.


Decrease in cash flow? Heck no. Clones are my biggest cashcow now.


My best guess is that the biggest demographic that used my pet stims pre-publish were CH dabblers... BH's or some other such heavy point investment in combat skills with the remainder pumped into the first two trees of CH. These people were grinders too, people who used an unbalanced pet (graul in particular) as a tank while they leveled whatever the holocrons told them to. A good many of these people did not have any Medic skills, and relied on pet stims for healing their meat shields. So you actually need to sink points into CH to excell at it now, and most of these dabblers have taken the highway.


I get much less requests for large amounts of pet stims to a single person, but I've been selling a lot of smaller amounts to a bigger variety of people. In the end it's less total sales than before, but I'm okay with it. Having to stock pet stims less leaves me more time to work on clones.

On Naritus I have stopped making them for sale as I can buy them at crazy low prices from a couple of vendors who mass produce.


I would imagine they have done alot of damage to other vendors on Naritus anyway. My guess is that the same number of sales are being made just that its to a smaller percentage of vendors than before.

All great suggestions and questions Xikago, but I do those things. lol/cry I am 800m from Coronet doesn't get much better than that. There are no faction bases around and I have 4 locations all with 800m of a major starport. I went from 50k-200k sells a day to 0 for 2-3 days at a time. As far as the resistances on the new pets I like them. But I think until they get done with the balancing of the creatures they were speaking of we will not truly know how effective or noneffective they are. In the meantime I love playing Dr. Moreau. Enough of that for now. Timme to make a five assed monkey.
