The faces of angels destroyed...
I saw a third of Heaven's legion banished...
And the creation of Hell...
I stood with my brother and watched Lucifer fall...
But now, my brothers aren't my brothers..."

Eclipse Server. I use a sliding scale for pricing.. 1k for 1200-1999 and 1.k for over 2000. I refund 1k if under 1200 (rare). I go thru alot of hassle and expense getting my meds together and travel to whereever to provide a service. If people wanna sit in front of an 0-4-4-0 "doc" for 5-6k per set have at it. My average price using that system is about 8k per set.

Joe Schmo spamming /tells "am i next?!" at the Coronet starport? 12k


My price was 6k, got plenty of business, then was 9k got plenty of business, now is 12k still have plenty of business.


I spent 7 months of game time gathering stockpiles of ingredients, subcomponents, etc.


My buffs hit for 1300-3400, last for 2.5 - 3+ hours.


I don't get a mission terminal for healing, and as a MDoc/MCM, mission terminals for "extermination" missions is a joke (900-3k) That BH/Commando/CH/TKA/whatever who wants/needs my buffs can run 6-10 missions minimum in that 3 hours, and get 26k each mission.


I value my time spent ingame crafting, gathering, and honing my craft... the value I currently place on all of that? 12k...


Like it or lump it.

Anyone other Master Doctor's that only ask for a tip? There is at least one other master doctor on Chilastra that does this as well that I know of. I thoroughly enjoy this method for a couple reasons.


First, I think I've only ever had 1 complaint about my buffs being too low. People tend not to complain when you let them set the price.


Second, there are several people that tip me 15-20k for a full set (my best tip was 100k). Likewise, I get 5k at times as well, but it doesn't matter to me. I like buffing people and what are credits really worth anyway.


For those who are wondering,I'd say the average tip is 8-10k. In the hundreds and hundreds of people that I've buffed, only 2 have ever not tipped a thing. After politely reminding them their buffs were finished, with out so much as a "thank you", they promptly made my ignore list
