Thread: Buffing prices
I charge 1K a stat or 4.5K for all 6. If i buff lower than 1K on any stat i refund 1K.

Haven't buffed in a few days, but my price still stands at 750c per stat or 4k for all 6...though once I start using my better ingredients (finally) and hopefully buffing more and longer, then I will raise the price just a little (probably to 1k per stat or 5k for all 6).
And the ingredients to make the enhances...A's aren't that bad, but of course they're the most easy to make and hence the lowest buff...the D's that master docs can make require avian meat (a pain to get or buy), reactive gas (depends on luck pretty much for good OQ/DR), and some other requisite medical components, such as a SDS, some identical CRDMs, and some identical BECs. The least thing I have right now is the avian meat (about 4k total).
I charge 6k flat for the package. I dont do singles.
Most ppl charge 5k as in the above posts but i dont harvest my stuff and i dont make them anymore so my basic price is prolly higher than others. And at one point i took 8k for and still thought that was a fair price because that the ppl who mostly ask for my services are high level combat types who got enough money. If a low level newbie ask me to buff them, i use some of my bad packs and do it for free.
Thats my 2 cents. ![]()
i'm curently having problems with pricing my bufs since the economy on tempest is pretty stable and there was a recent nerf to mission payouts but still those buf packs are expsnsive - that avian meat of good quality can be really hard to getand reactive gas can be as hard ( recently 900oq/150dr one spawned). my buffs are mostly in the 800 range and highest i got was around 2400 the lowest is 950.
i usually charge 1k per buff I usually offer 5k for all if they don't accept it imidiately but anyways i recently buffed someone that complained about mission payouts for 3k but i think she gave me 1k for wound healing too.
I also have a policy of giving one free buf of choice to whoever tips me 1k or higher .( one way of advertizing myself)
I use the best quality resources only to make them. Yavin4 Avian meat 900+ on OQ and PE and the same goes for the gas 900+ on the OQ and Decay.
It's rare for me that I buff under 1k. I will never refund.
I think buff prices in Tempest (1 of 2newest servers) are starting to stabilize. I'd have no problem switching to 1k, but a fair number of the MDs on Tempest (like myself) have been charging 1c per point raised. I had recently capped that charge at 2k per cast and half price if i'm below 1500.
I only do Health and Action because as a Master CM I throw ranged stims in the groups I'm with so dont' really bother wtih the secondaries.
I can go to 1k Oegies...we should talk about it some in game and see if the other MDs want to develop a set fee faster than market competition will provide. But I've hit health over 3200 twice now...charging 1k for that just seems like charity at 1k.

1k per or 5k for a set. Wouldnot lower price but have raised it based on circumstances. Always get paid up front. Used to refund for buffs under 1K - but now I don't. Found that most customers would just return the money anyways.
