Been looking for Endor Flower on the bazaar. No luck. Planted 3 farms on an 80% concentration within 2km of the Research outpost. Anyone else have to farm their own flora? Is there no other use for Endor flower? Anything else we HAVE to get ourselves rather than buy?

I grow my own flowers, my own wild wheat, I fish, I search lairs for eggs, harvest insect meat, I've even tried to kill plasma thieves for milk (what a joke that was). Its the only way I can make a product that is marketable. If I had to purchase these resources my tissues would be so expensive no one would buy them.

I find it annoying enough going to Dathomir and Rori just to go to the bazaar, much less cruising harvesters on Lok, Talus, etc. I did a rough cost analysis on just raw materials. Its running about 460 credits per pet vitality B. I'm selling them fairly well on tha bazaar for 2-2.5k Which gets me about 1.5k profit per unit I make. Since I'm buying small lots on the bazaar, I never get to do really big runs. Which would be nice. And that's why I'm probably going to set up my own farms like you.

On the Endorian Flowers - I only see one type "Enitha" or something like that, on the bazaar. Can anyone confirm that they only have one type available at a time?

I do all my own harvesting of flora and inorganics. Figured I have Artisan for the Business skill, I might as well dig up my own crap! I have fun tracking down quality resources and high concentrations, too... gotta keep the 'field' in Field Scientist!

I buy my stim subcomponents in bulk from a master doc at the following prices

Adv BEC: 250; Adv LS: 100; Normal CRDM: 100 -I usually buy about 300 of each at a time. So a B costs me 450 creds to makeand I also sell for around 2500 - 3000 creds.

The nice thing about buying the subs is that you get better quality (unless you are a master doc) and also don't have to worry about finding all those resources. Most docs I have talked to seem quite happy to sell bulk subcomponents.
