I just made my best non-advanced health poison C today. (105pot/244eff/26range) 50 CMU.


I use non advanced to illustratebecause the quality of the non advanced stuff depends solely on how much time the CM puts into getting his or her resources. Advanced poisons only show server specific quality.


I stated in another post that I make 1 million credits a week selling poisons and some stims. I'm going to tell you how.


First, prepare to spend some time finding your resources, at least a month.High quality is a must. Anyone can make 100/175 single target C's. You want to stand out. If you're lucky, you already have decent harvesters (I had to start with personals and work my way up). Don't worry about selling anything until you have enough stockpiled resources to make some good runs. After you get your stuff stockplied, resources gathering gets easier and you won't need as many lots. This is important because you need at least 2 factories running to put out any quantity and you may eventually need an extra storage house.


Watch out for good fungi!Flora seems to shiftmore slowly (at least onFlurry) and it can be hard tokeep up with whats new, but keep up with it you must. Having a good supply of high quality liquid petro is always nice also. You'll also blow through large amounts of reactive gas, so watch out for that one too. Radioactive isn't as hard to get if you have a good fusion generator (mine brings in 20.0), but you go through that fast as well.


Now you have your meds stockpiled! Time to create your vendor. Bare minimum is Business 3, but I'm currently using Novice Merchant so that I have a merchant for my stims and one for my poisons/diseeases. Do whatever works best for you. I know alot of you hate to spend points in it, but you already have Novice Artisan for surveying (you do don't you??) so it doesn't hurt that much if you just want Business 3.


Advertise! Post your vendor on the boards and shout it out in cities. Put some of your best poisons on the bazaar for dirt cheap prices, then send the buyers emails with your waypoint.


Sit back. Get rich.


My skill tree is currently Master CM, Master Medic, Marksman 0 4 0 4, Pistoleer 0 0 4 3, Artisan 0 0 4 0, and Novice Merchant. I have 0 skill points left.

Pricing!


My personal price list is thus:


Non advanced poison C- 4000 per stim


Non advanced area poison C-5000 per stim


Advanced poison C- 7000 per stim


Advanced area poison C-8000 per stim


Prices on my stims vary, but usually run about 5000 per stim of Ranged E and 4500 per stim of Area Stim C. I take off500 per stim every time I go down to the next level (e.g.RangedD are 4000 per stim and so on). I only use advanced bio eff's and advanced liq susp in all my stims because those resources are always up. I never use theadvanced chemsbecause of the herbivore meat requirement.


This is just how I sell my goods. Prices may vary on your server.
