Thread: What is a good tip for curing disease?

I've never asked for compensation but often get tipped 1k. Cure B's will handle any critter disease I've come across in PvE and PvP in one shotand are fairly cheap to make (worst PvE disease I've cured was the enraged rancor that gave 699 wounds in 2-3 minutes).


1k is plenty, considering there's 40-50 charges in one cure pack, that's 40-50k of compensation for a single crafted item, better than enhance D buffs.

The question is how much down time did it save you? Then think about what your earning potential is....

Erm, I sorta take pity on those running around in a city if they haven't found anyone to cure their disease yet (especially the annoying small PvE ones), so I just heal them then get a tip. I think 1k is probably a good compromise.


PvP, can't say much there, but I think I need to make some good C's to make sure I get rid of the most I can in one application Usually I PvP with my PAmates or other people I might know, so I don't think I'd charge for that.

I'm not a doctor so I don't know what goes into the meds. I'm not super-rich, but I'm not poor either. When I need the services of a doctor I want to provide reasonable recompense for their time and effort.


Thanks.

Honestly? I dont know. What is it worth to YOU to get the disease cured? Especially if its a Combat Medic Disease, as the upper level diseasestend to require multiple applications of the cure. Also, if your on one of the adventure planets, way out from any large groups. That might influence the tip to be higher.


I have heard of Docs charging 10k or more for a cure, which seems a little outrageous to me. Especially since that is what many Docs charge for a full set of buffs.

The only time I have needed the service I gota medium disease dropped on me by a merek on Endor. I travelled to Coronet, got healed and tipped 3K, but I wasn't sure if the tip was reasonable and the poor doctor was being besieged by people wanting buffs so I thought I'd ask the forum.


I don't know much about disease (always animal) - I don't PvP, I'm a BE and getting poisoned, diseased, or killed are pretty much perks of the job - so I don't know if it will eventually wear off or what.


Like I said, I just want to make sure I'm compensating fairly.

I would say that 3k for one application is plenty adequate compensation.

I ask 1k per cure service, poison or disease. Since the poison patch not really anyone needs the poison cure any more but the potential is still there.


As with all my services, I can count on one hand the number of people that have complained about my price... and half of them have gone on to pay it anyway.

I do it for free none deserves to have poison or disease on them unless they want it (grinders).
anyways i'm usually curing disease and people tip me around 500-1000 credits sometimes a tad more not over 2k. the only thing i charge for is enhances (unless you are an entertainer and need some quickness).


anyways to cure disease you usually need to find a master doctor which is usually busy enhancing, but using cure desease is a damage not wound treatment skill so it isn't as time consuming. so around 1000 credits is pretty fair.

I can churn out a poison or disease A pack on a whim. (I only use big ones in combat, but usually keep an A pack of each in inventory anyway).

I'll usually cure for free (though I often get tipped) with A charges.

Disease cures usually lead to decent tipping for wound healing, so it is easy to take a small (almost not measureable) loss on the cure A pack.

For cures its mostly 1k per 1 application. Disease.


Poisons are limited in time so and since there is no more death over time no sense in charging for these I believe..
