I'm a novice doctor 0101, and I was in the med center in Theed healing wounds today when I got a request for some Health and Action woundpack b's. Well, seeing that I'm barely a novice Doctor (just started this char as a novice medic on Sunday), I hadn't made one yet. But, I did tonight for the first time.. Icrafted a health pack, and it ended up at 67 Health Damage Heal and 21 charges. The guy asked me how much I wanted for it, and I told him that I really hadn't intended to sell it (wanted to use it to heal wounds for experience). But, right there, he flat out offered me 3K credits for that wound pack. Then he went on to offer me 3K credits each for another health and two action woundpacks. A total of 12K for 4 wound packs at or around th 70 heal 21 to 25 charge mark. Are these things really worth that much? After seeing how much I needed them and how much I could get for 'em, I went back to my house and made sure I had some great materials. This time I ended up at 83 heal and 25 charges...exact same stats for both Health and Action packs. Well, as we speak I'm running subcombine runs for these wound packs. By tomorrow when I get home from work, I should have 100 of each Action and Health both at 83 heal 25 charges.

Are they really worth 3K each? Should I even try throwing them up on the bazaar at that price? The same guy told me that if I could get high heals, he'd buy TONS of 'em off me. So, even at 83 heal 25 charges, I think he might be willing to buy them off me. But, is asking 3K for each from him again a fair price? I mean, the best of the best Stim B's on the market don't come close to 3K each (unless someone is smart and is selling them on adventure planets). Are the Wound Packs really that popular? As much or moreso in demand than Stim B's?

Thanks

Woundpacks at 5 skill with high heal bases are very valuable for medics trying to Power Level through medical xp. Healing wounds gains xp at 2.5xp per point of wound healed.

300ish base heals would be a waste on 50-200 point wounds. But with healing bonuses a 160ish woundpack is both affordable and efficient enough to heal up to400 points of wounds, maybe more. Even if used for a 50 point heal they are cheap enough to make to where you don't lose much.

Now with 5 base skill, you can sell it to the lowliest newbie medic to the most accomplished Doc/CM and they will still find it valuable. Therein lies your market for your woundpacks: anyone who has spent 15 points on Novice Medic.

Costwise I'd say 3k is a bit high but if they wish to pay that much let them. I normally sell Wound Bs for 1k with 40 charges and 160ish healing. I use mediocre resources,ABECs, regular SDS and regular CRDM to make them. Once experimentation pulls them to 150+ heal I put the rest of the points into charges. They sell like hotcakes

Short Answer:

Those woundpacks aren’t really worth 3k, but if folks are willing to pay that much don’t stop them. If they’re not moving, I would suggest 750-1000c each.

Long Answer:

One of the reasons I carry around well-made Woundpack Bs rather than the higher level ones is that I can hand them to anyone who has Novice Medic (or more) and it will be a welcome gift. Using full Advanced Components I can get them to 45/180-ish, more than enough for me (as a Master Doctor) to heal all but the nastiest wounds in one chunk, and still usable by the learning medics who are stuck in the MedCenters.

I run a thriving Stimpack B business as my main source of income (thanks to the 23 large harvesters and the two best guys in the world who place them for me), but when I do get the occasional order for Woundpacks its normally small, and just offer some from my personal crates. I let them go for 1500 each, and haven’t gotten a single complaint yet about the price (granted I haven’t seen how people would respond to a 75k crate).

Another item I have been testing on my vender is something I call a “First Aid Kit,” a like-named satchel or cargo pouch with two health and action wound packs, and one each of the sub stats. I sell the whole shebang for 15k and so far they sell around one a day. Not an earth-shattering income, of course, but always interesting to see what folks are looking for out there.
