I have a little over 40 rancor biles stiiting in my bank and I don't plan on taking up CM any time soon so I'm wondering what they are worth.

Nothing really, you might get 1k each for them, all they do is boost charges, at a cost of range and AoE. They arent bad to use for mind diseasing people/things to level up, but not really worth a whole lot.

If you have biles with over 140 charges or so you can charge about 10k or so each for them, they are useful when making spidervenom poison/disease.

I am sorry, but that is just untrue. Why would you want to limit a great venom with horrible range, in exchange for high charges? I would rather have great effectiveness with top range, then super effectiveness, at a range where you end up being a suicide bomber..

Morganite you'd use the bile because it costs little in the way of effectivness when you use a real godo poison but increses the lifespan of your pack by a fair margin.
It's a matter of personal taste probably.

It's personal taste, really. Don't expect to become rich over night by selling rancor bile.

I rather limit my poisons range, and have +150 uses. Then to have few uses with greater range.
When i use my spidervenom poison/disease its always to defend our base, so the enemy is rather close at all time. I hate the spidervenom, it just bring more nerf cryers to this board for example, so i just use it when i feel our base is under threat. The other times i can use my normal poisons without problems.

True enough. I dont bother with venom, because I learned shortly after it appeared, my unvenomed stuff, could outduel venom stuff if I use it smartly, and work on my cures as well.. 85 meter range vs. 60 meter range, my poison has hit and ticked on you before you even got to throw yours. The only time the rebel's cm's outduel me is when I am attacking their base, because being tied to a location can negate any lower range issues.

Based mainly on what server your on, each has its own economy

On tempest, I buy them for about 100 credits - I think they have about 80 charges. I know they aren't great, and they take up more room cause they don't stack - but when I was starting out, I couldn't find any gas to make the components. Now as long as I can get them for cheap, i'll probably keep using them - I am maxed out on harvestors, so thats just a few less resources for me to buy, and another component I don't have to worry about it.

Well, that post by xoba was really me, apparently she left herself logged in on my computer. Just letting you know because Xoba is not a CM, so don't bombard her with CM questions; if you do happen to do it, say as an April Fools joke, make sure you mention my name

ez....if you get rushed by a melee character in PvP range means nothing....like defending against a base take down. In addition if you are fighting some HIGH level mob like our friend Handak he is going to rush you...again...no need for range...sometimes you need to get up close and personal
