I was thinking about becoming a CM of Doc, but I found out that after CU most of the medical crafting will be done by BE's. I have maybe see 1 or 2 BE's in game, and I was wondering what they did.

Well at this point BE's perform several duties. We make Bio-Engineered pets by combining DNA from a wide variety of creatures to create hybrid pets that are better than anything a Creature Handler can tame in the wild. We also make Pet Stims and Pet Vitality packs to keep those pets healthy. In addition we make a variety of "Tissues" that Chefs use to enhance their foods by either making the foods effect last longer, have a stronger effect or increase the number of servings. We also make "Tissues" that tailors can use in clothing to provide skill bonuses such as Camoflauge, Melee Defense, and Wound Healing to name just a few.
There is speculation that BE's will become the crafters of meds after the CU but with everything until it goes "live" it's just speculation because regardless of what we read today they may change their minds at that last minute; does anybody remember the crafting system change that went live and then was backed out just a few days later

There appears to be a common misconseption that there are not many BE's on a given server. Many BE's don't display their MBE title. Other BE's use a title like Field Scientist, or Breeder.The reasons for this are far outside the scope of this thread.
However, given the current crafting system it can esaily be extrated that there should be a minimum of 1 BE for every 2 master chefs. This is a conservative ratio. Many of a servers BE's are crafting alts that simply don't get out of their house/town much.
