Thread: creating uber buffs

I have been around a fairly long time as a doc. The week after launch I came to play SWG, i was a 2handed sword weilding Za'brak. About a month later I was tired of the sparse selection of hair styles and opted to become human. Starting over I selected Doc as my proffesion. Still to this day Starphire remains, an MD.


Prior to the last patch I had some decent resources and was hitting 3k on buffs if I ate up. Now I have run out of a few of my stocked good stuff and they nerfed the way enhances are done and the top I have hit is 2200. Mostly tho I hit 1900 if I eat and 1600-1700 if I don't.


I am on tarquines and trying to stockpile the *best* resources possible! I know of course this will takes weeks if not months as I wait for a good spawn. I still have that tatooin fibreplast from well I think like 4 months ago that was pretty good. I have put in an order for some BER 10 harvestors (flora) and last night I went to lok to place a small one. Crap stuff to be sure.


I am looking for advice from the uber buff crafters. Were you simply patient? Did you trade with other docs for some things or get it all yourself? Were have you had the best luck getting avian? What do you look for in the resources? Do all the stats you care about have to be atleasy 800 and over? I imagine this would make it hard to make a lot of stuff. I dont care about the ease of use stats for example. So i dont look for that to be high because i am the only one using it.


I have the money to get some good harvestors and I just dropped CH to get artisan (i had it back in the day!) so i can get my own junk. Please share your experience/advice.

I'm intrested in this also, I use to get a range from 900s to 2400s and now my buffs are around 1500 with 2 and 1/2 hour duration, I've made some new ones to see if that will help and it still about the same. Im useing all high quility resources. I guess there organtic and solids are the only real question on what to use. I have a good xp apron with skill tapes in it, my station is 42. and the tool i use is 14.91 the only thing im not in is a research center.


Thanks for any input

In my opinion, the most important thing, is the avian.


I've had packs go from 750 power, to 860 power, just by using different avian.


I try to get all my organics at 900oq/800pe or higher and my inorganics at 900oq or higher.


I try for 600+ dr on the reactive.

Depends of the server but if you want to make "best" buffs possible buying from forums is propably only way and very costly. Avian meat and reactive gas are most important tho. With abec's you can get more power if acrdm and asds's are coming too low of course you'll have less charges but if people see 900+ or 850+ buff packs on your vendor which one they'll buy? 900+ even it has 2-5 less charges. Experiment points also have quite big impact if you have 12 as you get benefit of it twice - ABEC & final assembly. Getting it might be hard, I'm so far stuck on 11 points but my friend makes pack schemas for me with 12exp points.

why do you only get 11exp points, and how do you get 12? I dont get it.


Yeah my avian and gas are not the best, i have been to busy being concerned about the other resources, good advice!

you might be able to get the doctor's apron from the Jabba Park, for +5 Med Experimentation, and then spend a kajillion credits on SEA's for the other +5

DoctorCoryn, is that doc apron the same as the "crafter's apron schematic" that I got yesterday from the Jabba themepark or is it really titled "doc apron schematic"?

The change to doctor buffs was not a NERF...but a boost...however you are required to have good packs to do good buffs. Pre patch I was hitting 1000-3500 with 940 packs...the 1000 was totally unavoidable and would happen out of ever 2 people...it was horrid...now...I hit 2333 on every stat...which is much much more desirable than the occassional 3500 and 1000.


Anyway...on that note...if your not using at least 850 packs, your wasting your time with Ds...buy packs or wait on better recs. And if you really want GOOD buffs, you need at least 920+ packs...not impossible...but you might have to sacrifice some ease of use or uses to get this.

I dont see how that would be wasting my time. a 2k buff isnt looserville.


I didnt say I thought the change was negative. I wasnt complianing. Everyone feels a need to defend it, there is no such need.

i think it is the crafters apron... although i hear it comes in 3 flavors... doc, artisan, and tailor... but i'm not positive on that (not having one myself)

when you go to that theme park and do whatever your supposed to do you get a reward, which can be the apron schimi. This schimi comes in three flavors and you wont be able to choose. With the schimitic you can make 3 aprons. So you take it to a tailor and they can make 3, often times peoplelet them keep one because they are so nice to make it for you.


These things seem to sell for a lot of money, but really sence the schimi makes 3 it wouldnt be hard to find friends to help u get it (for example if you go and dont get the doc one). I got mine from a friend though he said if I ever quit the game i had to give it back first!


It gives +5 to doc crafting.

Hey Starfire,


Some of the high end resources on our server that I use to make my buff packs are: (last batch 922-930)


1) Tat Fiber: Current Spawn is best we've seen. 800OQ/911UT


2) Lokian Wild Wheat: We've never seen a killer spawn of this. But "hogo" is good and what I use.


3) Class 4 Liq Petro: The 889OQ that spawned last month is still all over the place for sale at 2-3cpu.


4) Dolovite Iron: I have about 100k of an uber spawn from 45 days ago. But there was a decent one last week I believe.


5) Domestic Oats: Many good spawns of this including a 1000PE 860 OQ from last month. I have lots of this if you need it.


6) Organics for action packs: I use the Domestic oats I have because they also have 992DR which makes for near 4 hour buffs.


7) Inorganics: Not too hard to find high OQ/UT ore or metal out there. My current are both 980+.


8) Reactive Gas: We have several 900+ OQ 200ish DR spawns. I still see alot of this for sale tho the prices are starting to go up. I have some of the 965/166 that I could sell if you are short.


The part we have trouble on are the Avian & Herb. There have only been 2 nice avian spawns since launch. Epem & Aco. Both are 2-3 months old and are like crack to docs on our server. No one is selling and when they do its around 300cpu. Herb spawns do happen from time to time. But the last 2 were on naboo/tat. Both tough places to get meat in quantity. Hope this helped you out a bit. if you are missing any of the above, let me know and maybe we can work out a trade/sale for some to get you started. Good Luck!

whoah. I would love to buy stuff from you or trade. Any of that stuff you listed above that you have a lot of. Like 1k or 2k of any of it, or if your willing to give up 3k that would be cool to but really would be happy with 1k.


From what I heard Naboo has some great Avian right now but I havn't looked. Tonight I wont be loggin i got homework but I will be on saturday night and all day sunday/night. Sounds like I need to go guy a chemical extractor, hard to find an archie these days. I have pre-ordered 2 BER 10 flora's but who knows if I will actually get them, and they were over priced.
