Thread: My Vasarian Brandy Factory run : +364 for 45 mins, 18 stack

Somebody on our server made a similar crate and stated his running costs were almost $200K to make per crate! How much did it cost you (minus labour, just resource costs) to make it per crate?
Ask him what he smokes - I want some.
Taking 5cpu as the basis for the materials required to make casks and thedrink itself +300 credits for two units of Trim (which is high) the basic Vasarian Brandy costs a whooping 33750 credits per crate. To reach 200k he would have had to pay 6650 credits per medium additive (35 organic, 25 flora, 20 meat - should end up at roughly 500 if you take 5/10cpu in materials, 1k if the BE takes 100% on top of it). Who's trying to rip off his customers here? 
Sheesh... do your math people.

Should've put 1 experimentation point into quantity. You could have gotten a 21 stack.

Formula's screw that. Im looking at it like this. People were willing to buy Glucose on my server anywhere from 100-130K with out hesitation.
Now glucose buffed about 430 mind and focus, it lasted about 7 min and had 4 charges per unit so a crate had 100 uses. Now we are looking at brandy here which basically needsmore resourcesand more components. The buff is a lil less but lasts 5 times as long and buffs willpower aswell now. Also your getting 21 charges per unit so thats 525 uses per crate which is 5 times more then glucose. A crate of this stuff could literally last you a month. All this in mind im looking at anywhere from 300-400K a crate or 12-15K a stack in the normal market. If you agree or not keep in mind this is gonna make for alot less buying seeing as a crate will last so long.
Hope that answers your question fellow Starsider.
So the price per cask would be 12k each or 300k per crate of 25. The thing to keep in mind here is that this buff is by far better than the old stuff that needed to be took once every 5-10 minutes. That old crate of 25, 9 uses may have only been 75k, but was only 2250 minutes (BoH). The new stuff goes for 9000 minutes or ruffly worth 4 crates of the old stuff at 75k. That comes out to 300k or what it use to cost.
Wow, speaking as a Master Rifleman, that stuff sounds absolutely awesome. I'm a muon freak and have been waiting for something like this for a looooong time, as it's entirely too difficult to get Entertainer mind buffs when I need them.
As for price... I'd be willing to pay anywhere between 500-700 credits per charge.
I figure I pay anywhere between 10k-14k for a crate of Muon (not the best prices, I know, but it's what I usually pay), which breaks down to 560 credits per individual Muon on the high end. Since this stuff is WAAAAAY better, I'd be willing to pay more, so I would figure that650 credits per food charge is fair. This comes out to roughly 12k for an 18 charge stack, and if there are 25 in a crate (not sure if that's the case or not), that's nearly 300k per crate!
This SOUNDS pricey at first, but when you really think about all the advantages this stuff has and how long it actually lasts, it really isworth 200k-300k to the hardcore, wealthy mind-buff addict.
In short, I'd be quite happy to pay 200k for a crate of this stuff, and by all means, if anyone on Ahazi cranks out some crates of this stuff, please please please let me know! I'd gladly take them off your hands for you!
