Doctor Archive

I realize in SWG- there are tons upon tons of money making professions. Really- ArmorSmith, WeaponSmith and architecht ( to a lesser extent), recently Artisans.

While with armorsmith and weaponsmith- to pull the big bucks you need to be in teh top 2 percent of you server ( get that EXTRA % of resist doctors are to an extent the same way

so my question is- obviously we arent HUGE moeny makers ( compared to the smithies and such) but then againwe can make some money so...

How much a week do you make on buffs gross?

How much do you net ( subtract out costs)?

Do you buy or make your packs?

IF you make do you buy the materials or harvest?

What is your Average buff ( 1700? 2200? etc?)

Basically just trying to get a feel on what kinda money we are making in general

Well, i make a ton of money on buffs. I charge 10k for them and have players lined up any time i put my doc tag on. I have to take it off anytime i don't have the time to buff or i get 10 tells asking for them in bussy cities. Duration sells not the power or average. Everyone knows the buffs are random, but if the players on your server know it will last for 3 hours they will buy them more often for a higher price. my packs are only 850ish with duration of 11,000. I usally fish in cornet or another bussy starport. I won't sell great fish for less than 1k per unit to be's(and they always pay it or more if it is great stuff) or i have them make a schematic for a food suppliment for me. I use that to increase the power or duration on mind food. WIth good food, spice, buffs, armor a master doc can fight like a champ. The proper mitigation helps too.

eh so i take it you make them??

just started buffing 2 days ago, i charge 6k full buffs, i spend about 35,000 to buy all buffs with about 30 uses, so i make 180,000 when i sell it, profit is 145,000. I dont craft my own, too lazy. I buff anywhere from 1,000-2,800. My average is probably 1500 or so. Today i went all out and made 450,000 just buffing people, took a while though

Buffs pay pretty well...

I charge 12k/set on Valcyn, and sell them constantly when my tag is up. I can clear 200k gross in an hour outside of the coronet starport if I really want to, and without even advertising. My new packs are 901/22/11.6k second duration (897/24/11.9k for action). When I have switch to these (from 884-893 packs with thesame duration) I will likely raise my price to 15k. Word gets around, by the way -- I was in coronet yesterday selling buffs so fast I had to eat some vercupti, while three other docs were spamming their 6k buffs and getting no business.

How much I make per week depends entirely on how much time I spend in populated areas with my tag up. I can't really calculate a net total though, since it isn't merely the resources involved that would have to be calculated... It would also have to include the hours and hours that I've spent killing rasps or durnis or paralopes or what have you to track down resources that I needed.

It would be nice if there were money in stims, but there are too many people running medical charity outfits driving down the price.

Oh well...

Hope that helps.

i make my own buffs, and very rarely sell them. i only do this when i am immediate need of money. otherwise i go and do fun stuff elsewhere.

for instance today i needed money and ended up making 300k in 3 hours. it is the first time i have sold buffs publicly in quite awhile. i typically just give them to friends when they need them. luckily for those people that got my buffs tonight i needed money for my buildings (i had one guy leave with 2900+ buffs on all stats but quickness which was 1300 )

in it for the money? no way im in it for the things i can do for other people. ever seen that lone guy sitting in the med center with complete black bars being slowly auto healed? thats me the girl who comes up and heals all his bars in 1 shot each. then leave immediately grinning at him as he looks at my apprentice performer title.

you know that girl that came across your incapped body as you were unluckily one shotted by some MOB and she stops heals you and your pet fully - thats me

in it for the money? not at all- doctor profession isnt for the want to be rich people.

If only life mimmicked games...

I buy my packs. 9k each so thats 54000 for a full set. The smallest stack (constitution) has 28 uses. i round that down to 25 to account for buffing myself. i charge 6k for a full set and i'll easily burn through that in an hour in coronet when its busy. 25 * 6k = 150k gross. take out the cost of my next set of packs and i net 96k.
