I hate buffing in C'net. But I do do it. The bad thing is I cap out med xp after 11 buffs. then I have to pack up shop and convert xp at the village. So I stay away from Cnet buffing with a passion now. I will usually just buff at the MO on Dantooine and cap then go hunt and cap my fencer xp and combat xp and then head to dathomir there. Even without the doctor tag on I still get alot of "U buffin Doc?". I respond kindly and say, "No, I am currently playing Sabaac and wont be back in the office for 2 hrs."

It's sort of like Air Traffic Control - not as hectic at Peoria as O'Hare! Same for Theed and C'net.


I love C'net buffing, my first expereince was a little daunting but now it's a scream - not to mention good money! And yes bank tipping is the only way to survive in C'net. I see docs trying to get people to line up or make a circle or whatever and it just seems to turn into a giant cluster****.

macro for the buff and mancro for bivoli, I don't bother with Havla, takes a few secoinds longer but I'm in no hurry!

Chat Colorization is your friend. I alwayss have "Tips" "Hobbe" and "Enhance" colored red so they stand out. Tips so I know if I have recieved money, "Hobbe" so I know if someone is talking to me and "enhance" so if there is a dispute about the buffs I can quickly scroll up and see how many buffs the player recieved (incase of a lingering action buff for example)

My helpful hint to deal with the enormous amount of tells from those who refuse to read the chat above your head.


make your self AFK and set an auto response with your stats and price and what ever other policies you wan them to know.



- I support reviving the old combat system. May the TEF Gank Squad rest in peace. You can too

I was about to say the same thing. THAT one thing has made it tolerable. I also made a new chat window called "System" It only has system messages and private tells. I notify all in guild that if they need me they will need to send a tell while I am buffing. This helps me keep up with people that don't use bank tips, and I set my toon so that I am facing the line diagonaly. This way I can see chat windows above everyones heads, rather than being in soam hell with the spatial chat window open.


Also I came across so many doctors today that were clueless about watching out for the customer with BF. please set your macro to /diagnose; /pause 7 before the buffing part kicks in. If you see they have BF above the acceptable limit you can hit /dump (I bound to F12 key) and let the customer know they need mind healing or risk lower buffs. People really appreciate it when you dothis and are really irked when you didn't diagnose them before buffing.


I read many many posts before I made master doctor about the evils of buffing in Cnet and the troubles they had with people. I took all that info and advice found here in these forums and my first day of buffing was bliss. I loved it. I loved buffing and chatting with diferent peeps that came to me.


Anyway, good luck to you, dont give up.

speaking of which xrayallen, i had the exact same problem with BF yesterday and the guy just did NOT get it.


this guy gets in line, i look at his ham bar and just see this huge black line. I'm like ok, i diagnose him, see 900pts of BF, yes 900 pts.


So i tell him you MUST go get your BF below 250.... he just stands there, i tell him you will NOT get buffed until u get that down. I told him its just a waste of my and your time and your money to do so. He responds yeah i see.... so he just stands there, i start buffing the next guy. eventually he runs off, and goes into another docs line. I promptly tell him that this guy has 900 BF. eventually the guy does get it and runs to the cantina. Some people just dont get it. Frustrates me and the rest of the docs... as well as folks in the line who are patiently waiting for their turn.

He's using Havla maybe? *shrug* Unless he's harping on desperate buffee's willing to pay 50k.
