Thread: What do you charge strangers to enhance them(master docs)?
I charge 3k, but most of my customers like to overtip thus keeping me content and i've got a small following they seem to be addicted to the buffs and must have it every day.
Best thing to do is buff them for free once, then when they do come back tell them tipping would be nice in the future.
1.5k for the twoHAM buffs 3k for a full suite. Any ham buffs under 1k give a partial refund. I only use the best stuff inthe Health and Action buffs thats why I charge more for those.
I play on Tempest and most players there never even heard of enhances. I only have health/action As atm and i only do it for free just for some extra xp. i tell people what the power of my enhances and duration and tell them the downside of not being able to get a better enhance. Most people take it and don't mind it's weak - better than nothing. i somtimes get tiped decently i once even got a 5k tip i told the person this is too much and they didn't mind.
so basicly starting out. i'll just do it for tips. As are cheap to make so I enhance people that want it after i heal their wounds.
just make people aware those high packs are harder to make. tell them A for tips and set price to the ones requiring avian meats or very good quality.
I'm not quite to master doc yet, so I use health/action A's and C's for everything else. I charge 1k each for the primaries and 500 each for the secondaries, or all of them for 3k.
It's funny - I think this stuff is more like spice than the developers imagined - more addictive, anyway. I buffed someone a couple night ago and, last night, I got a message that he wanted to be buffed along with 3 of his friends. I was on a different planet so he offered to pay my ticket price and more if I'd come back and do the buffing. I came back, buffed 4 guys with the C's and D's and he paid me 22k credits. I couldn't help but laugh. ![]()
Some folks just gotta have their drugs, I guess.
750c per ala carte stat or 3000c for the full suite. If I'm on a hunt with someone or for friendlies, I use 500c/2000c as the rate. This is as a Master Doc using Enhance D's. This is giving about a 500 to 2000 stat boost and 2 1/4 hour duration.
Of course, the new issue with them evaporating has me reapplying them for free/discount if they die in the field. Kind of hurts profit wise, but I'd rather them get some value for their buff and learn to play smarter rather than playing suicidally.
Right now I haven't really charged too many people as I usually reserve the buffs for my guild but I'm thinking 1.5K per stat with minor discount if you go all 6 and a partial refund if a stat is randomized to be less that 1000.
I'm also thinking about a minor/major discount to anybody who donates/tips/barters some decent quality avian meat (in at least enough to make another enhance pack). I figure this will work well for Scouts and Rangers and such.
One guy was fairly eager to get buffed so he could wear some armor (which worked for him btw Zarlor) whenI didn't have any on me and so i crafted a couple really fast at the public crafting station using some not-so-great resources I had in backpack. The buff was low but decent. The guy overtipped to the tune of 10K he was so happy. I tried to give some of it back but he said to keep it. So I gave him the enhance pack that most helped him wear his armor so he could get other doctors to buff him.
I also try to use at least one charge of an enhance pack as a freebie to give away to strangers. I figure I won't usually miss one and it is advertising. (Sorry only one offer per person and not valid in some states)
Hello,
I'm a Master Doc. I Usually charge 1k per stat. I use only Enhance D's made with Adv. Comps. I usually get about 20 charges per pak, so that makes the enhance pak worth about 20k creds for me. I reckon that's fair, cause I end up having to pay Scouts/Rangers quite a bit of money for herbivore and avian meat, plus all the other resources that goes into the enhance paks. Yes, that still leaves me with a significant profit. Well, I'm not in this for charity, and I reckon an enhance D should be worth paying for, you know? It seems to be the highest ability of Docs. And for most people, paying 6k creds for buffs that last almost 2 hours and bumps their stats, usually, between 1k-2k points, is worth it.
Every time I buff someone they seem to be shocked at how much I can buff them lol. And if you compare doc buffs to spice. . . doc buffs might be more expensive. . . but they are a lot more effective, last a *lot* longer, and have no downer.
I was wondering this exact same thing when I came to this board a second ago. I have now mastered everything except crafting (still working on Expert right now), and I can usually enhace between 250 -500 for each ofthe Health and Action bars. I haven't attempted any of the substats yet. I have been charging 500 for an enhance, with no charge if the result is below 250, and this has got a couple repeat customers. I enhance all of my close friends for free, of course.
