Thread: where is all the class 4 liquid peto-chemical?
Only really good one was last year and you can imagine how rare and expensive that one is....

It used to just spawn on 1 planet, but the devs have taken pity on us and have it spawning on 2 or 3 at a time now. I think it is due to spawn soon.

Yeah people ask for 75 cpu min and a buyout of 150 cpu here on the good one too, except that nobody is paying so much for it
Good decision. I sometimes wonder if people even think about the actual effect these "best ever" resources actually have. On Scylla, we see our bestever dolovite (995 OQ) go for over 100 cpu frequently, yet OQ 877 stuff exists as well (and ischeaper) and 750-ish OQ stuff is widely available (I have 400K units rusting on my vendor for 6 cpu).
The difference between a 995 OQ dolovite and 750 OQ dolovite? 5.3 power. Is that really worth adding 1600 or more to the cost of the final product? I guess it is to some. /shrug.
This mentality extends beyond us Doctors though... Although I agree that there's a ceiling for subcomponent resources, there is a huge market for anything in this game that's "the best".
As an example, my prices for non-loot-enhanced buffpacks range from 13k to 45k per pack. The 13k packs aren't bad, and there are packs for 15k that would qualify as above-averagepacks on just about any server. Can you imagine a pack that would be worth 3 times that?
Well, sure enough, the 45k (well, 40-43k for the secondaries, 45 for health -- using in every case except herb meat the best resource ever to spawn, herb is 3rd) packs sell just as fast -- if not faster -- than any other of the 5 types of packs I offer. Not faster than all of them put together, mind you, but easily just as fast as any of them. And this is no small feat, since I move quite a few packs...
So, I've bought that avian meat for as much as 750cpu, and have a standing offer of 550 for any more that anyone finds stashed away. My profit margin isn't any better than with the cheaper packs (and may be worse in some cases), but they move. And that's all that really matters.
Hmm. That had nothing to do with class 4 petro. I do think you can put a CPU price on something like 5 power though, and I don't think its 100 cpu. There, that's on-topic.
