One word....wow!


I bet you're on Chilestra server.Using that 999 OQ andCD copper?Am I right?


I cant help you with pricing...that depends on your servers economy (going rate for meat, hide, buffs, food). You need to find out what the average bonus/increase you get with a 114 rating droid. My 105's are getting about 18-20% bonus to harvesting (at least that's what I've be told by my customers) I sell these for 50 to 60k on my server. I think it's a bargain, but they sell very slowly. If you get a 25% bonus (I'm guessing) that would really floor the scout/ranger crowd. You could probably charge whatever you wanted. Eventually, the droids new owner will pay off the droid. From there it's only the cost of batteries.


Just remember to keep a 5 unit crate for yourself (in case you change careers)

I sell rating 104 (best possible on Naritus ATM) for 50k. Which is cheap. I sell a lot. Other DEs are adjusting to that price.


They are sold for 200 k in high traffic areas near Coronet .. and sell well there too according to some DE colleagues.


I guess the standard price for your rating 114 on Naritus would be 100kish.


People are realizing that the important thing is the ratio between the droid rating and their harvest rating .. so it usually does not matter if the droid is 104 or 114 when you only have harvesting 4 from scout (not that many Master Rangers on Naritus).


Have fun

I sell my 114 R3's for 52k on Tempest. You could get alot more if you wanted, they are pretty much the best droids out there. But it all depends on your economy

107 was the best I could manage, and that was using some very pricy materials on the server. I won't be making any more unless requested as the sales just havent been good enough to warrent expending some of the materials. A single good shift could blow my entire stock.


Oh, and I sell 107's at 60k

I'm using the best materials available on Kauri and best I can get is 109. Congrats on getting 114. I would recommend charging very high prices for any droid made with these materials because when those materials run out, you won't be able to make a nother droid like it again for a very long time. I'm thinking somewhere between 70k and 100k for my 109 rated droid but I'm not selling any yet. I gave the first two to the guy that supplied the steel required and haven't made additional droids yet.

I sold about 30-40 of my harvesterson Naritus, with more orders (usually large ones of 5-10) rolling in.


Same with the tank droids, with orders of 5-15 rolling in asPAs try to do the droid horde attack stunt on DWB and Corvette.


I recommend to NOT charge too high prices and SELL in bulk. Sell now ... do not hoard top resources or the window of opportunity to sell droids will be gone.


Have fun

Good advice!


I never thought about using the "zerg" tactic with droids... I can see how it could work.


This would be fun to watch...20 LE's or R3's attacking at once...although I'd rather see 20 BLL's charge in there (If they could fight)


When I get home, I'm starting on some combat LE's

Can you list the resources and qualities you are using to make this rating? Best I was making was 108 with 956 CN, 963 OQ copper and the best OQ/COND steel I have ever seen. The Inert gas was rated at 901, which gives me a 108 rating.


I recently got hold of some 980 OQ Inert Gas and thought for sure that would boost be up past 110, but even with +79 OQ gas, the best I can produce is a 109 rated droid.


I am guessing the copper has to be the big factor on these things. Is your copper over 980ish in both Cond and OQ ?

I'm using


Copper CD 961 OQ 950


Gas OQ 994


Steel CD 625 OQ 935


Each Cluster is 54, not put two togather yet, so it will be either a 108/109 Droid.
