Thread: How much $ is the average MBE making a week?
If you're pretty aggressive and put out a good product, you can make quite a bit. But that's a lot of time-consuming work, especially on the clones. And keeping track of all the resources for the in-demand tissues is a pain.
I probably make about 200k a week when I try at all...and I don't try very hard.
Then again, I can make that in two days on my Master Musician buffs, which take nothing but time. No resources.
I make bio-engineered things 'cause I like making things that others find useful. Well, and I find them useful, too.
my self when i was a mbe i was making over 600k a week. i know you are looking at this saying no way. and to top it off 50% of it was in pets the othere 50% pet med.
ok here is the two keys in making money in bio
#1 being in the right spot
when i say this i have a store just 50m noth of the imp out post. i have had a house there for a long time and the game no longer will let you do that. so i did get a puch of sells being close to the outpost.
#2 the cost of what you sale
now come one up tell now what dose cpst youto take to make a good rancor ??
ok i for one belevea we sould make good money form what we sale jusr cause it dose take so long to master the skill.i can say for my self i naver sold a rancor for over 30k 90% of the time they whore 25k. form what i see of othere bios 40k to 60k for a rancor as a master ch i would naver pay that my self.and you may say there is no way i can make a good about of money for selling them at 25k. like i sad i made over 600k in a week 50% or more is pet sells.
thing is if you keep cost down you get more people knowing you and more people coming back
so with being in the right spot and not going over kill on what i sell is how i make what i do or did as a mbe
i may have a good place for selling thing but i would not do good if i was selling pet and med to hight and to let you all now i sold my pet med b's heal of 600 or more box set 20 for 1500
Depends on how many crates I stock. 
200k a week is a very good estimate though, although at one point I was donating 100k every other day to our town hall for about a week, so it really depends on how much stuff I have stocked.
My rancors sell very nicely at 30k, and mount pets all sell pretty well. Haven't had them stocked at all in a few weeks though. Pretty nice to be able to go out, poke some crappy little fynocks next to my shack, convert the junk DNA into awesome rancors and make a crazy profit while still keeping pet prices considerably lower than most bio engineers on Shadowfire. 
Yeah, that needed a nerf...
Realisticly, as that pace is just plain silly and I can't maintain it, I guess I pull in more around 300-400k per week in profit, after the bills are paid.
So to summerize... bio-engineers who bleed people for as much as possible make around 400k to 1 million. And those who simply like to cover their personalexpenses is around 0 to 300k gross income per week.
hahahaha, ummmmm.
I am here for the art of creation. I typicaly make in excess of 0 to 10K a week now. 
I like making pets and fishing to make Pet-D's ( @ 1637 HAM heal hehe I need better Adv Comp's ) - I used to sell B's and would make @ 50K a week.
a friend now covers my expenses so the feeling the need to make money from Pets/Petstim's isn't there any more. I give away 5 out of 6 pets. ( folks tip me anyway which is nice, they seem to like 12.9 Gurrecks and 12.2 Rancors ) hehehehe, If you in for the Money be a Commando or "shooter" class and hunt Holo's to make 2 to 5 Million a sale.

Lol Tal. I think it's actually more related to how much time you spend at it then how much you try to "bleed people" but yea, those numbers are reasonable. Personally I sell maybeten crates of pet stims + vitality packs a week. So that's about maybe 65k/crate x 10= ~650k gross. Then after paying maintenence, harvesters, advanced med components, and other supplies, maybe 300k net or so. Something along those lines. Then maybe another 100k-200k of bio engineered clothing. But of course if I wanted more credits I'd simply make more product since it all sells out anyway. Who knows what the upper limit would be. Just a matter of how much time you want to spend crafting really.
When I was actively crafting I was pulling in around 5M a week on just pet stims / pet vits... think 11M was most I made in 1 week. I spend about 70% of my sales receipts on purchasing more materials and equipment.
I haven't been crafting much because of termpapers/finals/holocraze.
TIssue sales generate a few million each time I run a few batches thru the factories
I rarely make pets... sold very very few mounts... but keep in mind I'm a Master BE and had a very strong clientele base when factories got turned on for us.

I make 0k a week from Bio-Engineer related activites.
Of course, I'm not aiming to make money. I have no house, no harvestors, and no factories.
I pretty much only make pets when requested from guild members, and I create any tissues for free providing the person gives me the required resources.
Bout 350k-500k per week here. From pet stims and tissues...I hate running missions...did enuf of that on my BH.
