Bio Engineer Archive

I am a Master Ranger on Shadowfire and although the stat issue is server specific, the questions still translate to all Bio-Engineers

I have hunted many resources for other professions and each one has a different requirement for the important stats.

IfI understand correctly, Bio-Engineers need meat with good stats in 3 categories, OQ, PE and Flavor. From a marketing point of view, this has issues.

#1 The availability of meat with good numbers in these 3 categories is very rare.

#2 The time, money for travel, and energy invested in looking for and hunting this meat, makes it expensive.

I don't wanna hear how easy it is to hunt...call me in game and i would love to take youhunting...

Isit betterto have a quantity of mediocre meatto craft with or is it better for you to wait till you get the best quality?

If it is mediocre meat, what would be the minimum stats acceptable?

If it is best meat...you will need to pay 30cpu for it.

What meat is used the most, or needed the most?

What quantity is used in crafting? ie. to make a camp i need 50 hides etc...so to make a run of 100 camps i need a stack of 5050 hides minimum including the schematic. but extra for failures is nice. So what is the minimum amount for your crafting.

Also I have been asked for Scaley hide and avian bones...what are the important stats for these?

or rather what is the minimum stat requirement.

What other inorganics are required by your profession? Ok I know some of these things, but if I don't want to waste my time getting unusable resources because the stats are wrong I need to know what is required.

Any info is appreciated thanks.

Any BEs on shadowfire I have 100 eggs DR266 - Flavor871 - PE675 - OQ926

and Avian bone Elav DR258 - MAL158 - OQ996 - SR382 - UT 117 mail me in game if you wish to buy these items and your price.

I also have many containers of various meats for grinding...holler if you would like these at 8cpu

minimum quality on meat depends on what recipe its used for.

For herbivore meat that I need in massive quantitied for the medical subcomponents to pet stims I accept OQ>500 as minimum quality.

For the other meats needed for tissues OQ>800 is my minimum stat.

BTW, I have NO problem paying 30cpu for good quality meat and have been known to pay 40cpu for exceptional quality meats.

thanks Data..

...on Shadowfire by any chance?

Sorry I am on Radiant which is a shame as I really really need to hire one 2 or 3 new hunters to colelct herbivore meat for me.

Just keep in mind if you want 10 cpu I'll have to sell my suppliments to chefs at 15 to one to make a profit. In turn the Chef is going to charge you 20 to one on thier food so thats like 100k for a crate of fishak cost ( rough estimate).

Your best bet is to spend a great deal of time trolling through the galactic vendor search. I did that this morning and found some of THE best stuff ever to spawn on my server for dirt cheap!

meat. about 80k.

flora. about 150k.

DNA. lots.

DING! you're a master. then you can pore over your various draft schematics to find out the huge list of annoying resources (milk, eggs, seafood) you'll need to supply the slippery demands of your customer base.

try a LOT more meat and flora....like i went through 600k of meat n 4wks...after the grind.

Seafood (mollusks and crustacean) is collected with a shellfish harvesting tool (search bazaar/vendors). Find the coast, walk in til you knees touch the water and simply use the tool.

"Pet Food" -> creature food is harvested off killed critters. Check this, or this site for information what drops what. Again, check the bazaar and vendors for the stuff
