Doctor Archive

Good Afternoon,

Yesterday I achieved Master Doctor after 2 days of med crafting grinding (ouch) and I was so excited to enhance people and myself of course. I have been blessed with an outlet for resources and was able to make what I thought would be great Enhancment D's. I was mistaken.

My first Enhance Health D ended up a 397 with a 6k duration and after making a dozen (2 of each) it became the consistant theme. After a buff of a 500 to someones Quickness I was greeted with a snotty "What are you using Enhancement A packs?" Quite frankly I was embarrassed.

So, this morning I got on and did what I sometimes believe people do very little of, read.... I read about the rollercoaster that is Enhancement but I continue to read how people get a base Enhance of 800 with a 9K duration. After reading all morning I decided to go home at lunch and check mine out, surely they would be close to everyone else considering I am using great resources and advanced components and after all I am a MASTER DOCTOR!!!

But, as I feared they stunk....ALL of them were barely 400 base with 6k duration.

I am asking if anyone can give me an clues as to how you are getting 800 base while mine are 400? What EXP pts to I want to allot up till now I only have 10 to use and have been puttin all I can on Effectivness and Uses.

It was disheartening this morning when you work so hard to achieve this and get a below average Enhance.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Well, first off, what do the resources look like that you were using? Obviously, the problem lies in your resources/subcomponents, not your character's crafting skill. Give us that information and we can probably pinpoint the problem(s).

Also, if you aren't too sure about crafting (no offense, but I find that most people that "grind to the top" know little to nothing about crafting, even though they've done a ton of it), you can check out the FAQ. I have written rather extensive sections about the topic there.

My first question to you would be... how many Experimentation points are you able to use on Rating? If it's only three or four then your avian meat and/or reactive gas is terrible.

If it's a whole line of 9 or 10and you're still getting these results... then it's your components... but even with ridiculously crappy advanced components I couldn't imagine you getting final results this low. And I *am* assuming you're using advanced components based on your previous post stating you'd get us the stats on them. If you're *not* using advanced components... then that's a big part of your problem right there.

My advice.. make an action enhance D with the VERY BEST organic and inorganic you can get your hands on... it shouldn't be too hard there's always some good to very good quality on the bazaar in a big town on pretty much any server. And action is the only one that doesn't require meat and gas. Just generic organic/inorganic.

Let us know the results of that.

I will post the exact information tonite (bout an hour) but so far, I have 10 experimentation pts to use in crafting and the Avian Meat is good quality.

Again, I will post all my component information in a few and then go from there. It may be the radio active....

Thanks
Marm

P.S.

Whoever gave me the 1 star, thanks. Nice to know a newbie can ask a question and get flamed by a one star rating by someone without the guts to speak his mind. I guess they were never new themselves...

Sorry, just ranting...

Ok here is the information see what I am doing wrong...

Avian Meat
OQ 930
PE 715

Reactive Gas
OQ 998

Advanced Solid Delivery Shell
Power 63

Advanced Chemical Release
Power 65

Advanced Bio
Power 22
Charges 14

My Initial Crafting before Experimenting was 395 with 2900 Duration Medicine Use 92
I then placed my 10 XP pts in the following...
0 in charges
4 in Ease of Use
6 in Effectiveness

Outcome= Enhance Healt 494 Duration 8900

I did the exact same schematic and got before Experimentation

361 Base 2900 Duration
Experimented 7 Effectivness 3 in Charges and got
633 Base with a 5031 Duration...

Any suggestions?

Avian: DR?

It sounds like you are using avian meat with almost 0 DR, as well as Reactive ga. Get avian and reactive gas that has better DR.

There's a reason grinding the crafting boxes isn't a good idea. You end up being a master who doesn't know how to craft your items.

Also, put all experiment points into effectiveness. I use 64 Adv Solid, 65 Adv Chem, and 22/14 Adv Bio, along with 900/900/900 Avian meat and 950/350 Reactive gas, and get 876 power, 10600 duration, 28 charges.

Ok thanks alot I will jump on it

Those resources should yield packs of about 850 power, maybe a little less. You can improve your results a bit by getting avian meat with a higher pe, as oq is calculated with an average valuewhile pe is not on the final combine.

I'd recommend experimenting your BECs to charges, at least a bit -- both charges and power on those seem to add to the final product at about a 1:1 correspondence, so charges give ya' quite a bit more bang for your buck.

There was a great thread on how schematics actually work here recently -- probably only a page or two back.

Actually I know alot about crafting being a Master Medic for months then a Expert Combat Medic I have dealth with crafting for ages but using "items from crates" has been all new to me.

I will get the exact statistics of all my advanced components and post them to better help.

Thank you,
Marmaduke

My first packs were all low 500s because of the extremely poor reactive gas on my server for the past few shifts. I bought some overpriced higher quality stuff (still only 600s on the important stats) and was right up to 800s with great successes on the experimentation. Max out powerwhile experimenting everything including the final item, except the BECs (charges on those). Good luck.

Ok, update.

I did check my Reactive and yes the DR was 30. The Avian Meat was much higher. I have some other Reactive Gas and used it and my base jumped to 670. I am still lower than 800 and have yet to achieve the 800 base barrier but I will play with it some more.

FYI I was getting some Enhances in the 2200 range with these 670 base, it was very random.

Thank you all for your help I appreciate it.
