And if you look at the schematics for both, the seekers actually take more resources than the probes, so marking them more expensive than the seekers is kinda strange.

Seekers take 172 resources, Arakyds take 173. Arakyds also require an extra factory run over Seekers, so pricing them higher is not unreasonable.

Oop, my bad. That's what I get for not checking my figures before posting.

Regardless, if you price probes higher than seekers by more than a few 1k credits a crate, you're doing your community a disservice. Just this wookiee's opinion.

On Kettemer and Starsider i sell seekers for 5K per crate of 5 and Arkids for 7.5K per crate of 5. The sell at a constant stream.

these things are kinda a pain to craft for the credits so Ive decided to charge 10k per crate of seekers and 15k per crate for probes. If they dont sell too fast all the better as I dont wanna spend all my time making artisan junk anyway.


I think even overpriced and the vendor search Id still sell fast. Every single time I enter a sp i get barraged with requests for droids from BH so the demand is definitely there.

I used to sell them for 5k and 6k (seekers and probes) on Eclipse... then I stopped making them because they werent worth the effort, since its hard to handle all those egp/emm modules you have to save up for a large run, and I dont want to tie up my factories with those little things.
I couldnt keep them stocked at those prices though.

The way I craft mine is:


Seekers (makes 60 crates)


  • Factory run of 602 GP

  • Factory run of 301 Mem

  • Factory run of 300 Seekers

Arakyds (makes 60 crates)



  • Factory run of 903 GP

  • Factory run of 301 Mem

  • Factory run of 300 Arakyds

With 60 crates of each type of droid I can run my vendors for about a week. With this system I can have 60 crates of seekers and 60 crates of arakyds on my vendor every 3 to 4 days. I keep them priced at 5K for Seekers and 6K for Arakyds. Arakyds take longer to make even if it almost the same amount of resources, therefore they are priced higher. This gives me about 660K a week in just BH droid sales, that pays for the factory time, resources, power, and hall maintence. I have 7 other vendors in my mall bringing in more credits.

Wouldn't it be more efficient to make a run of 602 EMMs, then use that run for both? I personally never do runs smaller then 1k of emms and egps.

Just a note on the seekers.. the uses on the seekers do not get used as long as the BH is using the TRACK AND FIND option rather then the TRACK option on the seeker's radio menu(As written on the BH forum). It is a know bug for a long time. However, seems that alot of BHs do not know about this. I guess it is a peoece of good news for us.
