Fig, are you sure about that? Crafting stations and modules should be experimented on or made with high quality stuff.

Ackmore posts in one thread, but needed for further clarification.


I was referring to a droid engineer I saw a while back selling cheap droids for extremely high prices because they had 'excellent experimental values' and used 'highest quality' resources. DZ70s for thousands and thousands and people BOUGHT them because they thought they were better. Granted this may have just been his pricing scheme for higher prices, BUT he included those lines and that is misleading to customers who actually thing experimentation DOES something - if they think experimentation does something and you have el cheapo brand on one side, and high priced brand that advertises great results, if you had the money you would buy the high-priced brand. But if you KNEW experimentation does NOTHING then you would buy el cheapo because you now know it works just the same.

I have to disagree with you there... I don't experiment right now because I don't have the skills, but I know the materials used affect the experimental qualities... with higher quality materials I can make an advanced probot with a ham of 822... with low quality its ham is 819.

I keep a regular supply of Bounty Hunter droids on my vendor. I ask 500cr for the seekers.


I only manufacture crates of seekers upon special request sincecrafting them by handis a source of droid xp for me.

Exactly correct. I found this out with my BH.


The BH Investigation tree entirely determines whether or not the seeker droid finds the target.


So use the cheapest resources you can find for these.

Yes, but the probot still comes out with 810 I believe.


And if it does not, well...it's 10 HAM. Roughly 200k xp later I get 10 HAM. wewt.

Grrr, didn't know you had a BH Wepps. I thought you are a full time Dancer/Musician.

I have a 2-2-2-0 BH on Ahazi. My 1-0-1-1 DE / 4-2-2-2 Merchant is on Bria.


I have an entertainer on another server (started forgetting all their names), another I have one planned for CH / BE. I also have 1 designated for Commando, another that is going the straight combat professions route.

I sell seekers at 1000cr (and always will), and arkyd's at 1500 (and always will).


I am going to make a factory run of them, and will probably price crates a little less than that.


They are just something to pass the time for me, I'm maxed on droid craft xp.

I sell Seekers for 800, but will sell for 1k once the 10 use patch goes in, arakyds will be 1200k once the patch goes in.


metals sell for 5cr per unit on my server, so that 250 per seeker cost just doesn't cut it. I'm a MDE so I don't need the exp, just the profit and I see no point in making something for a loss.
