Thread: My #1 Doctor change Request
Remove the need for artisian skill. Make medical forage actually work like survey / sample.
I want to do something else with my skill points. Right now I have to have 4 levels of survey plus novice artisian to effectively make medicines.
We have a medical skill. It's called medical forage. Make it work. Then I could get my resources without having to waste all those skill points. I could put them into combat medic or some other skill that makes me useful in this game. Foraging 1 unit of greens is not going to make diddly squat. Not when I need 1800 units to make a factory run of 100 stimpack D's.
Medical forage should work similar to survey skill for artisians. We should be able to use the same tools. Maybe we are not as effective as artisians when we do survey and sample but at least let us have some skill in it without having to waste all those other skill points.
How about you
1) Ask around where good concentrations of organics are?
2) Look around where other peoples organic harvestors are?
3) Get novice artisan for a whooping 100 credits to place the harvestor using a survey tool and then surrender it
4) Place the harvestor anywhere on anyplanet, because no matter where you put it, there is going to be some kind of organic that you dont have to manually forage for.
Actually lets just all ask for Sony to give us unlimited supply of organics, but even then you guys would come up excuses to why you can't craft medicines, etc.
the fact is still that we are the only crafting class...and yes we are a crafting class no doubt about it...that has to spend 15 points to survey...
Even smugglers...yes they are a crafting class...have artisan as a prerequisite to become a smuggler...
SO either make artisan a prereq for medic which would be the world's stupidest idea, since the medic would be the only starting profession that needed to have a prereq for it...or just give us a way to survey...or at least place harvesters...
and why dont i just spend 15 points and surrender out of it? cuz some people dont have 15 points left...i know if i went with my original template for my character i would have zero artisan and only 4 points left...so so much for your idea...

I guess that works for people who use utter garbage for resources. Novice artisan range for finding wild wheat on Lok will be ever so useful to me. Those 500 resources a day I get by planting it down any old place will just move those stim b's on the bazaar.
I can live with artisan and survey, but your suggestions are meaningless to me.
Could you guys whine anymore?
Just because I can use a carbine doenst mean I should be able to make one. Just because I can wear armor doesnt mean I can make it. Just because I can use organics doesn't mean I should be able to survey them.
If everyone in this game could sustain themselves without the help of others, its not really a MMORPG then is it? Try out KOTAR or something if you want to go solo the entire way, otherwise stop your **edit**ing bitching and ask someone to help you out. Offer them cyber or credits, it doesnt matter to me.
As for myself, I have access to 40 some harvestors because of my friends, and I make out just fine. There are ways around everything, yet you expect it to be handed to you on a silver platter? **edit** you. Go tohell.**edit**ing whiners.
yeah but in order to advance in carbine you dont have to craft carbines...if u did ud complain
if u have to craft to wear more advanced armor u should complain...
if u have to craft ur meds to advance to master medic...ud complain...
fact remains, we are the only crafting class...and we are a crafting class because we have a f'ing crafting xp tree...that cant at least survey for the stuff we need...
even smugglers who are crafters, yes they have a crafting xp tree as well, need to get artisan to become a smuggler...
so be consistent...thats all we are asking.
As for the original poster, my best suggestion to you is to find a friend to will survey for you for free or for stimpacks, and use harvesters. It's rough if you start out knowing no one, let alone people who will let you use their lots, but it's doable.
I dunno if the miner would have fixed it... medic types are chronically poor.. there'd be way more profit in getting weaponsmith rares... still is for non-miners with harvesters.
No matter how many of the miner proponents say they would indeed mine our rares (medic, doc CM) I don't see it happening.
Across the board, there are like 20 rares per advanced/elite crafting profession (some overlap)... that's a lot of rares... there would not be so many professional miners... where would the money be? Not on rare fungus.

I know if I didn't need the skill points so bad I'd probably buy a bunch of flora-farms and survey-up a good load of those hard-to-find items... Of course I'd charge so much no medic could afford them, but that's something I think the devs are trying to address.
I always thought we should get funds from the med center (nobody tips these days) for healing wounds there. But the devs have already said there's too much money in the economy, so I doubt that will happen.
(try getting a probot droid and name it "TIP-YOUR-MEDIC" then send it on a patrol-route around the med-center, that should help with tips)
