ok, now that ur looking. the title was a lie.


100 people at 10k a pop r 100 x 10000 = 1million



Also. lets look at it this way 2 minutes 30 seconds/ 60 = 150 seconds x 100people =15000seconds / 60seconds = 250 minutes / 60minutes = 4hrs 15 mins

4hrs 15 mins to make 1 million credits at 10k credits per buff. (i say 2.5minutes because with lag, talking to people, and people notpaying on time, its about 2.5 minutes to buff a person)


NOW lets look at the non crafting buffing drs.


ur buffing 100 people, that is about4 sets of buffs.... 4x120k (cost per set of buffs)=480kk


LOL YOUR WALKING AWAY WITH 520K PROFIT FOR4.15 HOURS WORK


lol, dr's dont make crap at 10k a pop. i know, IVE TRIED IT.


Wanna make money? go kill the Jantas and orphen their babies.

Also. lets look at it this way 2 minutes 30 seconds/ 60 = 180 seconds x 100people =18000seconds / 60seconds = 300 minutes / 60minutes = 5 hours,

5 hours to make 1 million credits at 10k credits per buff. (i say 2.5minutes because with lag, talking to people, and people notpaying on time, its about 2.5 minutes to buff a person)


NOW lets look at the non crafting buffing drs.


ur buffing 100 people, that is about 5 full sets of buffs.... 5x120k (cost per set of buffs)=600k


LOL YOUR WALKING AWAY WITH 400K PROFIT FOR 5 HOURS WORK


lol, dr's dont make crap at 10k a pop. i know, IVE TRIED IT.


Wanna make money? go kill the Jantas and orphen their babies.








Ok, gonna try to keep this short:


100 buffs is about 3 and a half sets of buffs...


On average my buff packs only cost me about 5 - 15k a set (I like to hunt in my spare game time)


So...for that few hours worth of "work" I get to claim about 950k out of 1 mill. as profit, and that's assuming I'm charging 10k per buff(which is a safe assumption).


People should charge whatever they think their time is worth/whatever they think people will pay

When i craft buffs, ur right its 28 charges, so i guess it would be about 4 sets. ill edit that. as for the 950k out of 1 mil, u pay 50k for 4 sets of buffs? im impressed

Buffing is fools gold, especially if you are too lazy to make your own buffs [which you are assuming in your assessment of profit made]. 1 million in 5 hours, not all profit, or 1.5 million in 3 hours as a master swordsman running caveman missions, all profit plus loot, minus minor costs for condition on weapons and armor, or 8 digit profit every couple months selling resources that you harvest the hell out of and sit on it for 1-2 months til it's worth at least 20 cpu...

Tough choice, my vote goes to anything except public buffing.

Lol, didn't mean any confusion there, I MAKE my own buffs, it's really not that hard compared to other crafting professions. Worst case for me is that I use meats that I've bought on the market (usually real cheap), and about once every couple of months I might spend a couple days hunting some really good meat for myself. In the end I have months worth of buffs for (what I consider) a relativly small amount of work (but I love crafting so I'm biased). I usually only have about 200k creds on me, but when I need more I just park it in Coronet and get to know some people (while I buff that is).

Ah, a bit clearer now, Your style is my style. i have enough resources to supply all of bria with 'decent' buffs for about a month and a half (crafting and selling the sets wise) but i dont coz i dont like the economics of it, i dont complain about the economics either, i just live with it, i just find it funny that some poeple say us dr's are all rich and deserve no more than 10k a set, you can call this complaining if you want, but i dont buff bot, i buff guildies, and i buff random people for free, i dont pay for my buffs,im a decent crafter at 11 points and i make most, scratch that, all of my money killing jantas and rancors.

I also rarely have more than 300k-1mil on me at any given time. Im not poor by any means, i can make 10 mil in 2 days if i cash farm jantas. i just choose not to unless i owe someone money. I like playing the game. so play how i like. i just started this thread coz someone said dr's make 1mil from buffing 10 people at 10k a pop, i didnt understand their theory or formulas on how they came to that conclusion so i posted this thread

hehe, I totally agree with you, I didn't mean to sound like I was getting on your case.


I too used to not buff in public, and only really do it about once a month (unless I'm not doing much and people are screaming for a doc in Coronet at peak times). I think docs should charge whatever they think is fair, and if nobody wants to buy it then so be it, they're not really creating a monopoly because you always have somebody charging for less, or buffing for free to get XP, or whatever.

Never said it was, just stating facts. And as a side note, if you ENJOY buff botting, have at it, buff bot to your hearts content.


I randomly buff bot coz i enjoy it, i buff bot for 10-15k depending on the planet im on. but i only do it for fun, i never do it as a source of income and i only charge because the dr's around me get mad if i do it for free.

No buff botting here. I buff the public... there is a difference, and I take pride in it.


Anyone can spot a buff bot. Just look for these guys...


"Greetings, Bob Smiley the Human. Your buff will begin shortly..."

"Greetings, Tom Smith the Zabrak. Your buff will begin shortly..."

"Greetings, LeetDood Crestingdust the Human. Your buff will begin shortly..."


You get the idea.


Public buffing involves... God forbid... CUSTOMER INTERACTION! Some (i.e. most) docs don't share my view, and I think that's why some (i.e. most) docs end up getting complaint after complaint.

hehe, you're right that is a buff bot....and that goes against my 2 biggest doctor complaints


1. YOU DO NOT NEED TO SPAM!!! hehe, enough said there.


2. I know it's hard to hold a conversation with 10 - 15 people who are waiting on you, but I do try and for some players it does make all the difference. I've had people come to my line just because I wasn't spamming and appeared to be social with them, even when my buff stats were'nt quite as good, or my line was a little longer.
