I guess it depends on who you are selling to.


I paid 3mil for 14 of them yesterday, and have almost 100 total.


I average about10 a week looted/bought.

I find with how hard they are to get becues of drop rates on my server scylla 75k each is fair. Others thing 50k is fair but he sits in town screaming for them all day its seems. We had a talk were I said 50k isnt fair offer little more he told me I was trying up price the 20 I looted other day becues he read my newbie post on doc boards. Lol he should put 2 + 2 together If im asking about them maybe getting ready to be using them

Janta stronghold sucks to get the blood.


Dont waste your time there.


Get a group toghter so you can get high lvl missions and go for the 26k jants shamen missions.


Only the shamens drop blood.


I have almost enough to build a full set of buffs in about 4 hours of killing them and i also got some 30 units of heavy duty leather, 10-15 units of janta hide, numerous knifes with poision and fire dots, and well hell of a lot of credits.


Oh and a -5k rateing towards janta but who cares about that.

Umm, they all drop blood. Like a lot of other mobs, better loot comes from tougher Jantas. I've looted singles from Janta Hunters (nice for stim-b's). And my bestblood drop to date came from a Janta Loreweaver.


If you're killing Jantas for blood, get used to seeing the message "Nothing of value was found on the selected corpse". I do 26-32k Janta missions for credits, and am happy whenever I loot some blood.

Blood is very rare, reason why people charge so much for it. I know I wouldn't personally pay a lot for it.

It really isn't that rare, I've been playing 3 months and have two backpacks full of it, and I use about 16 jars a week.

What I mean by 'rare' is you can spend 4 hours running missions without getting any. I get in average one set every 4 or 5 hours.

Ive personally killed at least 1000 janta's of all levels and just finally got my first 2 blood last night. If you dont loot them yourself it is a waste of time to hunt them, yeah if you want to show off how much cash you have and that you buy 14 of em for 3 mil enjoy yourself.For me I will pass at that price thanks.

Loot items are at least to some extent rare. Any rare item will have a larger price attached to it simply because it is rare. In real life an classic car may have a higher price than a new car because the old car is rare. People with cash like to buy rare items just for the sake of having them. I paid over 100k for a slave colar that can't even be warn (it made for a great gift and was worth every cr).


Personally I would never buy Janta blood because I have no interest in making a 1k+ buff pack. It has no value to me. Others prize such packs and will pay great sums to make them. As a result docs with lots of cash will jack the price up to ensure they get what they want. Is there anything wrong with that? NO!.


Here are two simple rules to know.



1. If your buying something and you think the price is too high don't buy it.

2. If your selling something and you think the price is too low don't sell it.


If you know these simple rules then there is no need for whining at either end.


Apply these rules to Janta blood. If your buying it and the owner is asking too much then don't buy it. Simple. The owner will then look for others who may want to buy it at their asking price. If they can't find a buyer then they will either lower their price or not sell it. On the other hand, if they do find a buyer then to some people the sellers asking price was fair.


I realize that you know these rules already but I just don't understand why people post that the price of this or that is to high or too low.
