I have never done anything but creatures. I hate resource gathering. Also, I don't want to split my time and have decent pets and decent tissues and stims. I would rather aim for having the best pets available and thats it.

I have given some thought to selling just the schematics that chefs/tailors need. It seems I never take a trip through coronet without a tell asking if I have any crates ready. But for now, it is 100% Pets.

95% Food additives
5% Clothing tissues


I don't make pets, it's too frustrating.

The vast majority of my time is spent gathering DNA followed closely by harvesting meat or bone.


My crafting time is spent mostly making animals, followed by pet meds, tailor tissues and lastly chef tissues.


I make must more money selling pet meds than I do tissues.

I spend 85% of my time making pets and 14% of my time making tissues, and 1% of my time making BE chef additive schematics for PA mates.

Crappy Title,

But what I'm asking, is that as BE's we can focus on several things. Where do you spend the majority of your time? I don't do everything we can, but I think this a good vague list with my estimatedallocated time shown:


- Sampling/Making Creatures - 15%

- Making Tailor Tissues - 10%

- Making Chef Tissues - 50%

- Making Medical Components - 0% (I don't do this at all so not sure if my heading describes it correctly)

- Acquiring materials for above - 25%(not really a BE task, but I like to get the majority of my resources myself)


- Total - 100%


I'm curious, and this might be a good thing for the newbies to see. Whatcha doin?

Currently I spend 80% to 90% of my time making animals because I find it so fun. I have stopped production of stims temporarily due to poor quality of meat and lack of a consistent source for high quality advanced components. I do make some tailor tissues or chef but that only accounts for maybe 5% to 10% Rest of my time is doing miscellaneous stuff like hunt, themeparks, etc.

Lately, it's been 90% Hunting/Gatheringresources and 10% making tissues. Several spawns of good insect and carnivore meat (about 2400+ OQ/PE/FL) and Scaley Hide (997 OQ), etc. has kept me building up a supply for future use.

I've been master for 2 days now, and here's the breakdown of what I've done so far:


30% Wandering around Dantooine wishing something would spawn


10% Incapped when something did spawn


30% Setting up my shop, trying to fit one of each creature. Yes, I finally managed it, please don't call the GSPCA


20% Making creatures to see if I can actually make back some of that cash I spent on cloning and shuttles levelling up


5% Checking various harvestors to see if I have enough good flora to make a run of tissues yet


1% Repeatedly placing and destroying a vendor that refused to initialize until the 15th or so try


In the near future I hope to re-allocate some of that time I spent setting up to wandering around additional planets to see what kind of trouble I can get into, and maybe throwing some tissues together.

50% grinding tissues

10% making pets

5% making decent tissues/additives/stims

10% harvesting DNA

25% hunting for resources/pistoleer/ch xp


Once I hit master (2-1-3-3 currently) the grinding time will be spent doing more quality crafting and a little more hunting since I'm blowing to way too many credits buying all my materials!
