I usually charge 10k for a buff, and my buffs usually hit for 2100-2500. I am very honest with my customers, and will usually change my macro to show the stats. I have had NO complaints so far, but I usually dont have more than 6 customers in a line. Though sometimes I do like to sit in Coronet and listen to complaints about other doctors from customers .


But I have had people "sneak" away from paying for a buff and I usually catch all of them that do it, but never do say anything --- just /addignore

so if we ALL charge 100k per buff....


avian meat prices would go up


the "economy" would be thrown into turmoil


armor would actually have a negative side effect


and LINES WOULD BE SHORTER IN CORONET!

I suspect that some of the doctors selling buffs for less than 10k a pop are mere hologrinders. For the time/effort involved, there are at least a dozen ways to make more credits than selling buffs. I can't wait to see what the end of the hologrind will do for the buffing business. My guess is that buff prices will go up.

This may be a good possibility. Much of my experience after Medical professorcame from selling buffs out of some good 90 use packs I bought. After mastering doc, I decided to add some Combat Medic which uses the same exp. Since buffing gives good exp, it gave incentive to compromise some on price, though it is still cheaper to hire a tumbler than compromise much.


But the Holos aren't the only cause of grinding, cuz life is so pathetic at low levels.

why would you want a line for doc when you are a hologrinder? just run around offering free buffs or something. No one's going to pay for a crappy Enhancement A. Your theory is surely flawed bro.


And frankly, Doctors don't earn as much money as a lot of other professions think we do. I do two buff packs (x 25) in 2 hours. thats half a mil.


If i buff myself, head to dantooine and start massacreing Jantas, i get 50k every 10 minutes which translates to 600 k in two hours. and there's the added advantage of loot (janta blood) In one buff, i normally hit 1 million and thats only 3 hours work.


sorry, i don't buff the public anymore, except for a few close friends and i buff them for free

ive had quite a few rude people in corlag:- whens my turn, whens my turn, god im busy u know. it infuriates me when so many patient people sit and wiat their turn. it has taken me weeks to sort out my buff packs and just when i have avian disappears and can i find anyone selling it, no because theyre all hoarding it for when the price goes up to 250cpu. and people wonder why we charge 12-15k with bivoli for good buffs. i actually love the class i find it very rewarding as im sure do my guild who i buff for free, but it does make u wonder.

ps any avian being sold pls mail me in game (thanx)

I dont know whats up with my server, but people are insane about buffs on it. not just non docs, but docs.


There are probly about a dozen really good doc shops on my server, any time any of them stock buff packs, no matter what they charge, they are sold out within an hour. im talking 30-40K per pack for just normal power packs. There are alot of docs on Naritus, but most of them buy their buffpacks from the few doctor sellers.


non docs are insane, its not just Coronet that people in mass hordes want buffs, The mining outpost on Dantooine comes in second, and some days can be worse then coronet. Theed is the same, and I cant even go to any npc city, even if its normaly deserted, there is always someone shouting that they are looking for buffs. I cant go for more then 10 min without getting a tell from people i dont even know, begging for buffs, I have NEVER worn my master doc title and my char isnt searchable.


Its crazy. Its almost to the point i woudlnt mind them being completly wiped from the game just so people stop begging for buffs. Everyone thinks they MUST be buffed to go do anything, This guy yesterday asked me for buffs so he could go check his harvestors on naboo, there is nothing on naboo you have to be buffed to kill. I am leveling rifleman completly unbuffed, just drink two brandies, and if i need a quick boost in health use a netron pixie. Its crazy that some people are so reliant on them.

yes, naritus isnt bad. Overall the whole sever is very nice. But even dealing with never ending lines of nice people gets to you. I havent really had any problems with customers about buffs, the only problems i have had is people send me alot of negitive email asking how i can call my store a doc supply shop without buffpacks. I just say, because i carry everything else you need for it. Its not a complete shop as of yet.
