Any advice?

I'm using the following ingredients and am only getting 775-800 power:

adv BEF 21/12
adv SDS 73
adv CRDM 65
avian meat oq771/pe574/dr939 (best on the server right now)
known reactive gas oq958/dr285

I keep seeing buffs for 2200+ meanwhile mine hit for only 1900 for 2hrs 55min. What gives?

I have +25clothes and a buff bot.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It iswithout adoubtthe Avian Meat. The Reactive Gas and the Avian Meat are by far the most important factors in determining the power of your buff packs. All of your components are good, and the Reactive Gas is certainly sufficient.


I should add the DR on the gas is a little bit low, but that has no affect on the actual power of the packs and that is what your question was mainly referring to.

It is most likely the Avian. What are the stats on your crafting station? That may be a factor as well.

The avian meat is your major factor, but if you will eat bivoli tempari you should add about 200 to your buffs.

Bahhh.


Stick with the buff you have and go do something fun. With a 1.9k buff you can put your armor on and do just about any thing you could have done with a 2.5k buff.


If your buffing for cash then it is a matter of what is most cost effective. Bivoli or new Avain.


The avian you have may have a low OQ but the DR rocks. If it were me, I would find some gas with a little higher DR and sell those buff to hunters. If you can get a gas DR of about 600 or so you will hit over 3.5 hrs. Add in some bivoli and they will sell like hot cakes.

Fully agree. Too many people think that unless they are buffing for 2500 all the time, everytime, then something is "wrong." Dont drive yourslef nuts striving for absolute perfection, when average will work just fine.

Thanks for all the responses they confirmed that it is indeed the avian meat. My action buffs hit for over 2200 and i guess thats b/c i didnt have to use avian and used really hi quality and hi pe greens for organic resources.

I'll look into some higher decay gas as well.

Also is the hi oq avian meat on dath you referred to new? I cant seem to find anything higher then tat avian now. I went to dath a few days ago and the avian meat from rept fliers sucked.

Thanks again all!

Your profile on the left says Shadowfire, and your sig says Chilistra. If you are on SF you want the legendary Acoe, somethin like 980/960/9XX. Thats like 500 cpu but some 9XX/9XX/like 500 was recent goin for only 100 named Stafhem.


If your on Chilly then I dunno.

I'm actually on Valcyn and we have some great avian meat on Dathomir and Yavin 4. I'd also have to agree with what Marrow and Agent said. The buffs you have are fine, although there is room for improvement. If you have armor on, you'll be able to fight pretty much anything in the game and not even have to use a stimpack. It's fun to set goals with your buffs and have something to shoot for, but what you made will most certainly get the job down. It's pretty rare that the extra 200-300 points will really do much for you, so be happy with your well made packs and have some fun.

If you are on Chili look around for some of the Ahos OQ 994 DR 767reactive gas that just despawned about a week ago. Also make sure you are using +25 Bivoli food when buffing!

First of all I agree with your results, I use similar ingredients and yet I cant get above like 850...


BUT! 1 thing i noticed about your list is, i dont see any Bivoli Tempari chef food....


And what is your droids (buff bot as you call it) medical rating??? (it needs to be 110) and charged with batteries...


Also, look for the stickied buff calculator in these threads...
