Doctor Archive

Actually I was very surpised at how many Master Docs buy their meds from other Master Docs. I happen to have several very regular Master Doc customers. Personally I harvest much of my own resources and stock pile good stuff when it is in shift. Cost wisethe stuff like state packs you dont really need "quality" just metal, inorganic and organic same with revive packs. One thing that I think may be a factoris some docs don't have factories and thus can't make some of the higher "level" stuff that require factory crarte components.

So ya - some doctors (like me actually like crafting) others hate it which is fine because in the end we help each other out - I sell stuff and experience the joy of "vendor gmails" and they don't have to craft.

Most Combat Medics are forced to craft their own, and many of the ones that don't leave the profession fairly quickly. However many people select Doctor as a secondary support profession to something else, and only seldomly is it a another Healing or Crafting profession. So many Doctors are there only for the buffs and are perfectly content to buy all of their medicines.

Which makes a great market for all the crafting docs out there.

Most of the Doctors that are making money off of crafting (as I used to do, and probably will again soon) harvest their own resources and spend a lot of time each week surveying, checking harvesters and maintaining factories, and by doing it all yourself you can turn a tidy profit, but as I implied requires a large time comitment.

Also when you're mass producing you can simply put a 10-rate harvester on one of the less common resources (like Inert Gas, used for the Cures) and that will usually give you enough to last for a month or so.

I have done both buying and crafting my own. Personally I prefer to buymine as I don't like spending all my time in game looking for resources to make my meds. I found this too time consuming and needed artisan to help find the resource locations, which I found to be a waste of skill points. For some this is fine but I wanted to master a combat profession as well. Now I just buy most everything. Sometimes if I find a good deal on something like components I will buy them up and make a factory run. It does get expensive to buy resources anymore. I can't seem to find any reasonable prices. Anyway my point of view is that if you want to make your own, it will be expensive or very time consuming. If not, it can still be expensive but done very easily if you can run missions.

Crafting is a boring time consuming thing to do. Some people like it some dont. For some people its worth their time for some it isnt. But to be a serious medicine crafter it takes time if oyu want to make the good meds. You have to harvest, buy, trade for good quality resources. Keep good quality resources in stock. and spend lots of time crafting running factories surveying and so on. Personaly i dont mind the work I like helping other players but I do understand that a lot of docs just have doc as a support profession and dont like to spend all their time crafting or getting the things they need to make decent quality meds.

If you are on shadowfire and would like to make any med purchasessend a mail to Liliandra. I make good quality stuff and will custom make orders for how you like it. (more power, more charges, lower med use, etc..)

Also ifyou are a crafting Master doc on Shadowfire send me a tell sometime if you want to set up a resource trade. I and constantly mining good quality resources but also looking to trade alot of things for other good quality resources.

Completely off topic, but... /love Liliandra

Another MDoc/TKM on Shadowfire, hehe And by the name I can only assume you [or your character at least] is female... *darts eyes around* hope Kida doesn't read the forums...

Now then, on topic...

Having gone both ways, it's *much* easier to buy the meds or at least the resources for the meds, but often times you have to settle for standards lower than you might have set for yourself. You can't really be as picky with who you are purchasing from as there aren't exactly a mob of MDocs selling a full blown line of meds or resources [well, not on Shadowfire anyways].

Comes down to what you want to do in game... for while I was a meds producer and made good creds, but didn't really enjoy it at the time as I was also pursuing my combat destiny [I can't believe I ever touched a Pistol before, ugh!] and producing left little time to figure out what else I wanted to be. Now that I've found my calling [TKM, melee all the way], I figure I'll probably pop a 2nd account and make an artisan/architect/merchant as my buisness bish.

Yeah i think i would rather buy buffs. But when i look around and see D enhancers i know they are the master buffs. But what does the numbers meat next to them. For instance i seen one guy selling thm and they had like 750 next to the name.

I am almost to master doc and im looking at everything like enhance packs... cure poison.... dizzy..

and they all take alot of different resources. My question is do alot of u masters create your own stuff and sell it or use it for your own personal use. Cause me personally am thinking of totally buying everything from another master doc. It seems like way too much buying of alot of different resources. How do u make money when your paying for all those resources and shopping around for the best quality products?
