Although price checks are the realm of the trade forums, and I'd post there, if I were you, I will make one comment. A lot depends on how much you have to sell. You may have trouble selling 15 eggs, but if you have 15K, you are more likely to find a customer. The other issue is quality. BE tissues use OQ (50%), PE (30%) and Flavor (20%). I doubt anyone will buy poor quality eggs or fish.

Given what eggs go into (Dance/Music bonus clothing), mediocre eggs should work. I generally price as if ANY quality eggs cost me 50 CPU, and when I say that eggs were needed, nobody complains. Fish, qualityis a bit more important, as a Pet Stim-C made with good Dath Insect is probably going to outdo a Pet Stim-D with poor fish, especially since the Ds require Dant Fiberplast while the Cs require any Fiberplast.

I have quite a bit of experience both buying (for my BE) and selling (on a server where I'm not a BE), so here are my observations.


As a BE I keep a sharp lookout for both and will buy any stacks of 200 or more (that is my cutoff point, I won't buy smaller stacks no matter what the quality or price) priced at 30cpu or less if the quality is at least decent. Decent meaning that for egg the OQ, PE, and flavor averages maybe 400, and for fish averages maybe 500 or so. Quality of eggs is a little less important to me than quality of fish.


On the sell side, I was able to sell fish when I was working up the scout survival branch at around 30cpu. I had no trouble selling at that price. But for some reason I can't even seem to give eggs away. I've had many different stacks of 250+ eggs timeout on the bazar, even priced as low as 10cpu and of average or better quality. So naturally I'm getting less and less motivated to bother with eggs anymore as a hunter.

I agree here. On the other hand, D's made with good quality resources can make a huge difference in combat. I've never been able to make enough D's to sell. My friends all want them as fast as I can make them.

Yea, I've tried using really bad fish to make D's before, and came up with some D's that were in the 1100-1200 range (which is the same power as really good C's). One difference in D's though is even bad ones do give you the opportunity to get around 10 more charges out of a stack, but I agree that making low-end D's is not worth it, and just a waste of good fiberplast and med components.


For the last few weeks someone has been trying to sell this stack of fish meat on the Bria bazars that averages, I kid you not, less than 100 in the three stats, lol. No thanks, although I'm almost tempted to buy it just to see what the abosulte worst result possible is for D's made with otherwise good materials Plus I've never done a combine before where it lets you put like 1 point into power before you are maxed, lol.

Arthur, you kill me sometimes. I'm laughing so hard it is hard to respond.


What this game needs is a lot less indignation and a lot more Chesterfield sofas in the infield.

I'll pay 50 cpu for any quality eggs, since I can usually get the other resources I require to get me the +13/+13 bonus I shoot for with EMH's. However, I always buy a minimum of 500 eggs (enough for about a crate and a half).

I normally pay 100 cpu and expect to get stacks in multiples of exactly 405. (For 100 cpu I can be demanding ) This allows me to make 2 schematics and have enough left for a crate of Enh Myoflex, which I thenprice at150k. 100 cpu may seem a bit excessive, but I often have problems getting people to hunt for this.

I've offered 200+ cpu at times and recieved no responce from hunters. Collecting eggs just isn't economical. Spending a few hours to get a measly 500 or so eggs is really horrible.

Let's see. Two enraged rancor lairs at 30K each in 15 minutes. At 200 cpu, that's about 300 eggs worth. So to compete for a hunter's attention, we need them to collect 1200 eggs an hour. Actually, lately, I've been asking my tailors to do their own egg collecting, or at least to come with me collecting eggs. It is tedious, not fun at all, and it takes forever to collect enough for a small factory run. BUT, at least we can get them.


Remember when the only way to get milk was as a loot drop? And even now, the only way to get secret research data is, uh....uh... Oh, now I've forgotten.

Hmm, ok, after reading some really surprising resonses here in thread, let me ask you guys.


a. For those of you that say you offer a bazillion credits for eggs. Do you actually get hunters to regularly bring you back eggs?


b. For those of you that claim that you turn your noses up at anything less than 400/500 or whatever stacks of eggs. If I were to go to your vendors tonight would I find enhanced myoflex on it?

Honestly, it would be extremely helpful if the devs just took out the the other stuff one finds in lairs and put 10 eggs in each lair. I have never found a use for that other crap they put in lairs...the bugs and stuff. I like the fact that they gave us the ability to milk creatures....certainly they could do something a little different to make it a bit easier to collect eggs. Just my 2 cents.


Oh sorry....


Umm price for eggs and fish.... what the others have mentioned about fish....not really worth it unless it is great fish and eggs I would say 10-50CPU depending on OQ/PE/FL quality on Tempestand nothing less thana stack of 400.


It takes 15 of the "same type" eggs for 1 tissue. Tailors like to buy crates of these tissues so 15 eggs x 26 tissues...at least one for experimentation and schematic. That equals 390 eggs for one complete crate of 25 EM tissues.


The hardest thing to impress upon people is the fact that the eggs have to be the same. I have had to wrestle and wrangle friends and hunters to understand this simple game concept but, they just don't get it. They are constantlyhanding me 4 eggs of one kind and 14 of another and 20 of another when it just doesn't work like that.
