Ok, I think you all don't charge enough for buffs. 5K or 6K for buffs that last a long while? I would say charge 1K for each hour your buff will last. 3 hours Health buff=3K for that buff. Something like that. There will be people who say they cannot afford that but either they can use food or do missions for cash. If you're a crafter, you make $$. If you're not an afk entertainer, you make money. if you are a combat class higher up in skill, missions give fast $$. That is all

I buff for 12k.

The buffs I use last 3 hours and 40 minutes.

If you run a 4k mission, that's just 3 missions and it pays for itself.

That gives you 220 minutes to run 3 missions, 73 minutes per mission. If you cannot run 1 mission BUFFED in a little more than a hour, YOU have a problem.

If you run a 2k mission, that's just 6 missions and it pays for itself.

That gives you 220 minutes to run 6 missions, 36 minutes per mission. If you cannot run 1 mission BUFFED in a half hour, YOU have a problem.

I think 10k has been the norm for awhile, but I'm asking 12k for the buffs and people are gladly paying seeing how they last 3hr 40mins... that's 20 mins shy of 4 hours.

I charge 6k in town (Corellia, Theed)


I charge 10K outside of town (Geonosian cave, Labor Outpost, etc.)


I agree for the most part, but some people still complain about the 6k (cheap people).So I plan on waiting until the ablilty to fix or rebuff a stat if a certain buff is low, then I will raise my prices, because more packs will be used.

I usually charge 1 credit per unit increase. That way when I give a bad buff (to many lately since patch) they are not paying a high price for it, but when the buff is good, I get compensated. Little bit harder math, but I just keep a calculator close by. Some complaints about price, but most will pay that.

I charge 10K for my buffs. It doesn't matter where I am (I'm using the same packs). For friends I use my Bivoli Tempori (BE enhanced +23). When the buffs aren't random anymore, I might charge 10K for normal buffs, and 12K for buffs using Bivoli.

I charge 10k, the whole 1 cred per unit of enhance sounds good but the only problem with that is you don't get paid till after. Its not that I don't trust people (I don't anyway ) but I always ask for cash up front, I've been stiffed for creds one too many times. Its not like I don't get enough customers as it is.


I buy a set of 6 packs, 21 charges each, 860 power, 3 hour + duration for 75k. Selling for 10k a set thats 210k so I can't see how you're complaining that docs don't make money

I always thought 1 credit per increase was fine aswell.

After someone suggested it, I tried it out, and will probably never go back to flat rate again. 1 credits for 1 buff point. Tip as I go. Works great, almost everyone I talked to likes it, and the final outcome on my buffs are about 12k-17k. So far 0 complants and 0 thieves.
