Thread: Combat Medic F.A.Q.
ABECs for crafting grind, fine, but:
I think it would help out a lot of new CM crafters if the effects of experimentation on different areas were revealed (example = putting points in to ease of useincreases potency. "Most" critters will not resist a 100ish potent poison/disease pack).
I think it would also help to put suggestions on experimenting during the sub-components phase (example = for "most" dispersal mechanisms, experiment in range more than ae covered so that in the final combine, you can dump all points in to power/effectiveness).
Of course, anything you do write might be moot after publish 7, but as is, there is jack $hit out there to guide a new combat medic in what they should be making. My first experiments...well, sure the 176 potency ae mind poison looked nice, but at 150 power or whatever, it didn't sell too much.
There are a lot of posts comparing virtual penix on this forum, illustrating what masters can make, usually after having accumulated the best resources over a series of several months, but there is no "starter's guide".
One other good thread I ran across was a discussion on ranged pack Es vs. using ae Cs all the time (almost same materials to make).
A FAQ is usually for beginners and mid-level people, with the ocassional nugget of knowledge for an expert. The FAQ now is a nice starting point, but it tells me more about how to use a factory than it does to craft my bread and butter. No good.
If you look at my posts in this section, you'll quickly see that I am only a dabbler. I absolutely suck at PvP, but do enjoy trying to make the best products for others. Mostly I'm asking questions, not answering them. If I wrote a guide for CM, it would be poor, misinformed, and putting myself above my station.
Well. a lot of questions and heres the skinny. if this is already learned info, then please close.
Rancor Bile is used in a poison or disease schematic and replaces the Advanced Dispersal mechanism. it is important if you loot more than one because some poison and disease schematics requires two or more from a factory crate. If you loot more than one from one rancor, check the serial number in the Examine radial. if the same, the bile can be substituted for the ADM.
The stims used in PvE and PvP are the same. Invest in wound and injury bio-enhanced clothes to increase you damage heals in combat. 100k will get u a great outfit of bio-enhanced clothes. Also invest in a medical droid. 110 medical capability is the best and DE's can put them in any chassis. I like the seeker driod myself, but to each his/her own.
