Hi All
The Rangers who frequent the Ranger profession forum are currently trying to put a wee list together of the different professions that we service and what minimum requirements those professions for resource stats?
So the question to you BE's is: what do you need? what's the minimum that interests you?
For example, if we harvested some meat - what min OQ do you want? FL? PE? etc. At what point does it become unusable?
Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

33% OQ, PE and Flavor (for Tissues). Pet Stims are 66%OQ and 33%PE, assuming the BE is experimenting on Power versus Charges.

Tissues are actually 50% OQ 30 PE and 20 FL - its just wrong on the schematic

Once upon a time, my BE friend told me 2000 minimum total over PE/OQ/FL. So if I get anything that totals over that, I ask her if she wants it.
Not an answer, but might give you a ballpark idea....

I want to know this too. Help us to help u. This info provided is not enough, more detail required plz. The oq+fl+pe this doesnt work for all cases since I had someone asking for only 2 high numbers only yesterday.
This will make such a difference if we get some good advice of on stats. Remember we are asking multiple professions here, so its in ur interest to give us more info or we will find it easier to supply other professions!
We need some numbers, oq = what minimum? fl = what minimum pe = what minimum decay = does this matter?

For Hides, bones, and avian bones - OQ>800 are usable
For most meat - OQ + PE should be > 1600, with OQ and PEat least 700, FL at least 200if not contact the BE
For Dath Insect Meat- Talk to the BE to see if the current spawn is good or not.
These are just my numbers, other BE's may be more stringent.

Personally, meat should be at least have an average of about 800, so 850/750/700 is about right.
(850 * 0.5) + (750 * 0.3) + (700 * 0.2) = 425 + 225 + 140= 790 average.

Acceptable resource stats depends on how desperate the BE is 
Personally I'd like to have OQ 950+ PE 850+ FL 750+ which gives me an average of 880
but since I'm not rich and I cant fight, I take whatever I can get

I'd love meat like that too! Unfortunately, I think Wanderhome has only ever seen meat like that a few times at best. So yeah, what Nancy said, we take the best we can get. Average meat can be boosted with really good flora (which seems to spawn more often)

I agree with Zadokk on the minimums for good meat.
When buying meat I insist on a bare minimum of OQ 750+ and OQ+PE+FL > 1800 to make it easy for my hunters.
I only pay 6.67cpu for that meat though with a sliding scale going up to 20cpu at OQ+PE+FL >=2500+ and negotiable if I _really_ want the meat

You have? What was I wearing? You sure it was me? *grins*
Must have been the 'negotiable' part

Personally i tell my hunters to look for meat with oq,pe,fl added together = over 2400. other than that i send out an e-mail with acceptable meats that are spawned and the price for each. as a minimum tho i would say 800 oq, 800 pe, 500 fl for nutrients and a gamit of stats on tissues depending on what im making and what the stats are on the other resources i have. of course when i run out my demands drop by the missed sell
. been making +84 bsn's with around 450 oq, 850 pe, 450 fl. carnivore
