Impossible to tell youhow to price it- plus every server is different. On Test Center pre-CU it would be worth 5-10cpu, on a busy Live server maybe 60cpu.

Post-CU - it'll be a whole new ballagame now, since Harvests are based on Creature Level, not type now.

For example, before you could find a creature that dropped 30-40 units of herbivore meat and was simple to kill. It was still time consuming though as you needed mass quantities.

Now you can be a CL80 player, find a mission for the same creature who will also be CL80 and it will drop 300-400 units of the same meat. It may take you slightly longer to kill it, but you're getting 20x as much meat off it.

So meat worth 50-100cpu before, is worth 5-10cpu now.

There is not much reason to pay more for creature resources anymore as they should come into line with mined resource pricing as people start collecting them again.

You also need to consider the stats of the herbivore meat. If it's all 500 stats, it's not worth 5cpu to most crafters, they want the best. All 900 stats, it'll be in higher demand and worth maybe 10-20cpu.

The sad thing, I waslooking at 600k of Rori avian meat in my shop tonight when I realize it is no longer worth 200-300cpu.

It might fetch 20cpu if I'm lucky.

So the answer to your question is, whats it worth to you?

Your also going to have to take into account how dangerous it is to harest. If the creatures your getting the Herb Meat off of Animals that are social and will all attack you at once there is no way to do it without a group and even then it could be very dangerous.

Most serious harvesters of Creature Resources will not collect for less then 15 CPU, as they feel it is an insult of the time they spent for a specific resource. Only Guild Mates will do stuff like Collect Resourcesfor really low prices.

I suggest if its a planet like Lok and Herb Meat (coming off social creatures and the planet itself is dangerous) if the OQ is above 900 and PE is above 900 then 20- 35 cpu will get people to collect enough for you to make large factory runs.

I have been a master doc for a year and an xxx4 BE for 2 weeks. We just had herbi meat on Lok at 891 OQ 690 PE right now. I was in a group of 6 all novice scouts the other day. We collected about 50k of meat each in 3-4 hours. It is true that meat can be collected in huge quantities in no time. Another time it was me and a master ranger and we collected 300 units or more each from gurks. Because the amounts that drop are 4 times greater than they used to be AND there are less crafters, There is no way (in my opinion) herbi meat could go for more than 15 cpu ever. There was an auction for 170k of this stuff on Kauri min 20 cpu. No buyers. I got 1.4 million units for 7-15 cpu.

There is an added danger of death, but the days of 20+ cpu are probably behind us. Those crafters paying 20-50 cpu still will sonn find cash flow issues.

Just an opinion

the problem is many rangers and other professions that made a living on harvesting are still trying to charge pre cu prices, and of course with a player based economy other crafters are driving up prices, current spawn of scalley hide has a 30cpu asking price.

Fortunately Herb Meat isnt going to be as big of a demand as it used to bem yes still needed for ACRDM's and some tissues, but not as important as insect or avian meat.

I persoanlly would love to see animal harvested prices drop to a reasonble price of max 15cpu , My prices are actually in an excel spreadsheet based on the prices of resources, if the price of a meat needed in a certain component goes up all i ahve to do is alter the price and the entire spreadsheet updates to an new price scale. currently meat prices are based on 20-50cpu. if prices come down so will the prices of instatstims and medical enhancers as well as tailor tissues.

Oh as for what I think its worth.. Our formula is 66OQ/33PE in general. so i plug the stats into thatformula and get a new 1000 sacle score....OQ 980 , PE 500 = 820so 8.2cpu would be target at most 12.3 cpu , but no more than that.
