Thread: Buying Enhancement Packs, is it worth it?
Hey-
Right now my skills are 0-2-2(3 when I train)-0 in the doctor profession. I want the skills needed to buff myself, therefore I planned on getting adv. wound treatment and master doc knowldege.. I think that should let me use the bestenhancement packs. But I dislike crafting, so I thought about just buying the enhancement packs. I know buffs are like 4K+so not sure if buying them in bulk(crates) would help alot-if any at all with the price. But price isn't really a big deal to me. The main thing is, I want to be able to buff myself whenever I want and not have to hunt a master doc around.. The only thing is if I go master doc, all of my skill pts would be gone. I wouldn't even have enough pts for exploration 4. Even if I go 0-2-4-0 there will still be alot of skills pts used that could be used in another profession that may be more useful in combat. I'm a tkm, so being able to buff myself all the time would be great. But with the range problems we have in pvp, havingsome good skills in a rangedprofession wouldn't bebad either. Please just give me some suggestions on whatyou thinkI should do. thanks

if you can find someone that will sell them to you at resonable price... on my server i don't think anyone is selling them to the public. when i offered to sell some on the forum many doctor posted criticism and we had a major debate about it. I once soldhealth and actionenhance packs to a friend at 300 credit per charge. was around 7.2k each and i only sold him like a 770 health one .
anyways making good enhance packs can be a major pain . it's not enough that you add decay resistance as an important stat to organic and inorganic for non action one you need avian meat (hard to get goodquality in large quantities) and reactive gas (hard to get good quality ones). doctor crafting if you want to get best result you need to haverst 9 different resources (adv resources aren't always best quality), that doesn't include herbivore/avian meat ,reactive gas for enhance pack , some of the specific organic /inorganic for wound pack and cure desease and poison packs.
Well, I'm not sure if many docs on chilastra would like to sell enhance packs by crates.. but I guess my biggest problem is trying to figure out if I should continue on with doc(just to buff myself) or not.

Well speaking for myself on my server, I sell buffs at 6k/20-25 charge pack. so if you buy all 6, you pay 36k for 20-25 charges. On my server buffs from a master doc go for 5k/all six, or 100k/20 buffs. So on my pricing model you save 64k worst case.
The big thing to remember though (and why I'm not really targeting you as my target audience) is that buff effectiveness is modified by your doctor stats, so a master doc can buff better then a non-master one. Most of the people who buy my buffs are master docs who don't want to be bothered with hunting down all the high quality adv components and ingredients.
For what it's worth,
