Pay more than 50k per crate and your problem should be solved...



I always have a good supply of meat since I pay VERY well for it but my chef tissues cost more than 50k per crate though. But, a few chefs on gorath have discovered a very regular source of tissues, the only catch is, they cost more.

I've been wondering the same thing. I've been looking all day for BE Tissues for my clothing on Starsider. I've searched on 4 planets so far and have found 2 crates of tissue, and that's it. The primary use of BE's has changed since publish 6, but not many BE's seem to have caught on yet...the ones that have a very wealthy now.







Contact Sara-lee and ask her for some. If there is demand I am sure she will make crates for those. I can then place them on my vendor in the bacta tank.


As for money, I give my pet wookie that is a MBE a home, all the food and drink his bothan sized stomach can take (that is wrong), guns and some money for shuttles and buffs. What more could a pet wookie ask for?


As for resource, may decide to buy meat at a higher price point. I do 10cpu and can get 20k a day easially. You can get whatever you want, just have to be willing to pay for it.

As a levelling BE, I find that I run out of meat on a daily basis. Living on Lok, I can simply do a load of gurk missions. About 8 missions later, I'll have 5k of meat. This comes down to approximately 2 hours of lair killing. 2 hours for 5k of meat. I'm sure I could get a higher quantity on dathomir or dantooine, but the creatures yielding more meat are generally harder to find. And when I find graul maulers or rancor, my initial desire is to simply kill it. But, the overriding desire to sample its DNA usually takes thetop side of the grill. I'm just levelling BE and I find it hard to keep up with my own demand to level. A friend of mine is a master artisan and I decided to make her a crate of light food additives in exchange for a crate of artisan mind food. At the end of the day, I had to do a mission to get the meat for that one crate. Untilthe devs allow us more skillpoints, or the number of professional Rangers increase, I don't think I'll be capable of gathering the meats to run a BE business.

I love making tissues, when I can. Get a 10K+ stack of meat and I'll happily run a set of tissues. The problem is that stack of meat. Most rangers wanta cool million for that much meat. I've gotten to the point where every Tailor and Chef I do business with knows to snatch up any decently priced meat they see. They then sell it to me. I combine it with what I've gotten from my other suppliers and make tissues. Even with that arrangement I can't keep my deployed factory busy. (I have 3 more undeployed factories sitting in storage from my more optimistic days) If you want to get a BE making tissues for you I'd suggest sharing the meat collection pain. Find a BE you trust and help them collect the meat. Sell it to them a little to no mark-up on the basis that they then sell you the tissues.

Actually, he said he's paying 100k per crate (25 is a half crate).

I just simply don't think that tissues are any fun. I like tweeking the critters, selling them, and then hearing the comliments from their new owners. That's what's fun to me. Yes, the whole meat thing stinks. Not only the fact of quantity, but you have to consider that the quantity has to usually be a certain kind and all of it has to be the same make/serial number. Not very many players out there who have a business of just sitting in one spot for a couple of days killing the same kinds of pets over and over again to get meat and turn around and sell. If I did that I would want a lot of money too.

While not directed at the orginal poster, all I have to say to this thread is, "I TOLD YOU SO".


I remember a while ago lameting about the insane quantities of meat required for these tissues, and all the BE's jumped up and down and told me, 'Oh just make friends and you'll have so much meat you can't use it all'.


Well, it was a nice theory...


The meat requirements are insane... no sane person is going to spend day after day after day killing things for meat. If the particular meat you need doesn't happen to come from dath, dant or endor, or from krayts forget trying to get a large stack of it.

When the Chef changes came I also originally thought that the resource requirements for additives was too high. But even paying a hunter25 cpu for meat, you'd still make a very large profit from selling the tissue at the going market price. There are more than enough hunters who will go out of their way to harvest you meat at 25 cpu.

I offer 30 and 40 cpu depending on the meat and still don't have enough.

Its all about meat and the fact we cant just throw a harvester down to get it. I make good money selling bsn crates but I can sell them much faster than i can harvest meat





Same here, I'm working on a production line but it's hard and I have 2 or 3 chef's interested in my products. Now a run of 1000 takes a factory quite a time ( can't remember off hand but I think it's in the order of 2 days ) plus the time to find the meat ( And I'm fortunate that I can get high enough quality meat for 80+ Nutrients atm on my doorstep ) or I have to pay oodles for it. I do prefer it to pet's though as it is guaranteed income and one run of 1000 is 1.2mill - so better income than anything else I can do - but still hard work.
