Dont know if this is a stupid question or not, ill just ask anyway...


What I've learned that a +10 medical experimentation skill tape, CA or AA gives you 1 (one!) additional experimentation point. The bonus is also capped at +25.


With this in mind, how come people auction +4/+5 exp tapes for a couple of millions? Dont they know how this works and think they will give an additional 4/5 points experimentation?I would say these are worth around 50-100k, at most.


If you get 1 more experimentation point in you might get a slightly higher number of uses or power put you cant somehow suddenly charge 10k per stim instead of 1k since the change is so small. Or is it?


Anyone that has tested this and has some actual numbers that prove that you really get a huuuuge boost with the 2-3 extra exp points that you can have?


I just masterd doc myself and im planning on selling some stimpacks and I would like to do a good job and produce HQ stimpacks, would really like to know if its worth the money before I go and buy stuff for 5 million and do the tests myself only to find out it doesnt really help at all.

I would only try to get the +10 or +20 in skill tapes if you plan on makeing and selling or just want better enhance packs. For stims you dont really need them. you can max out base power on stims pretty easy and if you use good enough adv bio's you can get good charges. I personally use 12 power 22 charge adv bio's and adv chem's around 50 power and adv liquid suspension around 150 to 160. with that and good inorganic and organic materials i make stim b's that are 41/420 average. I dont really make enhances to sell but even without the extra point i max out the base enhance with the components I have available. so with extra points id only get more charges to experiment on. my enhances are around 30/860+. Hope that helps.

My thoughts excactly, I dont need I feel them for making stimpacks.

The high price for the tapes are just because people use them to make enhance packs for pvp or what?

1. Because they are incredibaly rare. 1 in 1000 type rare. The +4/5 tapes only drop off of things like nightsisters and what not. Combine the rareness of them actually dropping with the difiiculty of killing the thing that drops them, and you get a very hard to aquire item.


2. People want them. REALLY want them. Either just to boast that they have 2 extra experimentation points, or to help boost their crafting.


1 + 2 = $$$ for whoever finds them.

People are perfectionists. I spent about 1 million myself to get +10, and I'm not going higher because it's just not really worth it.

It does help on enhance packs, potentially. Although, it depends on your resources.

Thx for the info, didn't they were that rare cause people are auctioning them like crazy it seems. Perhaps just because they want the cash.

Are all enhancetapes this rare or just tapes for experimentation and assembly? Bought a +25 taming animals/+25 taming wild animals pair of pants the other day for 50k which was why I was a bit astounded when I started seeing some of the exp/assembly tapes prices.

Those pants were engineered by a BE. BE'scan make a number of skill enhancing items that a Tailor can incorporate into certain types of clothing.


Other skill tapes, especially experimentation skill tapes, are much harder to find.
