Thread: what food/drink should be selling for
I sell my food for 1-1.25 cr per buff pt without experimenting. more if it buffs 2 or more stats by 100 or more.
so boffa treats is a 3 pack lets say for +60 str each. I sell that for 170-200 cause if they eat it all its +180 to thier str. if i get 5 units through experimenting, then i charge a little more.
air cake i usually get 320 for. it costs me about 50 cr in materials maybe. food has the best markup in the game imo. especially since so much of the stuff can be made with hide/bone and meat which is a free resource if you are a scout.
if you arent getting at least 1 to 1, you are way underpricing, i sell 90% of my stuff. if its a really good buff(which i cant make yet)-it should sell for more because you can buff much higher before hitting eating/drinking capacity.
i make 1500-2000 cr./daysoley by crafting food while running or waiting on shuttles or getting healed, etc. once i get some real skillz and a factory its gonna be big $$$
the time to make the stuff is the only reason i cant make more $$. food is only a sidebar for me but its very profitable.

Shhhh. Don't tell people that. I make good money buying and reselling 1000s of pounds of meat, bone, and hide a day.
