Hello,


I am wondering what I should price these nutrients at. I can experiment them up to 84. Any help greatly appreciated.

I would like to know this as well........


Isn't this what we sell to chefs to enhance their food?


And what's considered superior stats?

I would sell those for 50k. Some sell them as low as 25k but they don't do it for long. 50k for an 84 BSN is a fair deal for both Chef and BE.

I'm in the 25K front. Plenty of profit down there ( recently dropped from 30K where I made millions in days ). 50K imo is a complete ripoff. Mind so are some chef prices but there you go.

35k- 45k to a new customer .

30k - 40k if its a regulair customer.

30k - 35k if its a 1k units order or a very good customer.


25k is too low in my opinion for such good things. Its not our fault we have to pay 15cpu for meat so i really cant feel bad for charging another 10k when good quality...

And its the hunters who buys the brandy anyway so its just a matter of who screwing who...

But anyway, if your new to this bussiness and got enough for a 1k unit run, consider finding 2-4 chefs, and split the run between then , having such a great run and selling it on discount ( give em the 30-35k price ) makes you alot of good contracts . I think the brandy thing is about to come to and end, just like the medic and stimpack did. So make sure to make your contacts now while the market is not yet closed .

Thank you for all the responses. I am new to making products. I have always just made pets before. Is that 30-35K per crate? I was asked by someone to make 40 crates of it. Thank goodness we have guild hunts and have been able to get lots of great meat for free, even make money from the lairs we kill.

Good question here, and also, I'm guessing I'llneed a factory. Do you have to buy crates separately to use in those? If so, who maakes them?

haner74 - Yes, that is per crate of 25.


Cyborg - You will need a food/chem factory. The finished product from the factory will be in crates. The factory just makes crates automatically with no input from you. Just put in the resources to make your product, a schematic, power, maintenance, and start it up

cool thanks, one more thing.........."Research Data" What the hell is that?


I've always crafted the 'Broad Spectrums' without it, but is it necessary for what chefs need them for? And if so, how do I get acquire this 'Research Data'?

This is what I don't understand. How can you make any money (and by money, I mean profit) by selling these at 25k per crate, or 1k per tissue?


A BSN requires a total of 80 units of material: 35 organic, 25 floral & 20 meat. If you sell your tissues for 1k each, that means you're only making 12.5 cpu.On Sunrunner, decent meat alone can go for 15 cpu, so ifI only sold the meat I gather, I'd be making more money than I would for a BSN.


For the resources involved, I think that 50k is totally reasonable.At 25 cpu, that's 15 cpu for the meat, 5 for the organic & 5 for the floral. If you sell for any less, you might as well just go into the resource distribution business.

some BE are selling Medium 84 at 17K a crates and heavy 114 at 26k.
After that chef call you greedy when u sell medium a 44k.

15cpu for meat... lol - You need to get your guild in on the act ( or join one ). When I need meat I find the best resource available and get the guild to hunt it. A job they're happy to go for 6cpu.

Oh and following on - even at 15cpu for meat. I'd make 640cr per unit - or about 640K clear profit on a single full run at 1K per unit.
