If the price is too high, people just wont buy them. Most good elite combat professions can dish out this amount of damage with just a few specials from their weapons. Why waste so much money on a one time use droid? I think it is not worth it for a DE to spend allot of money buying Tolium gas. You either wait for the Gas to show up and mine it yourself, or just dont make detonation droids.


A friend of mine recently gave me about 19k of Tolium and I did about 130 Adv MSE's with it. I set the price at 15k per 5 droid crate. Thats just 3k per droid.Although I may not be making that much money offof it,it is at least a consumable item and if the price is right, people will return to buy more.They didnt sell at a really quick pace, but they were popular.


IC - .. but to tell you the truth, I do kinda feel bad for the little MSE's being blown up.I hope my other droids dont look at me and start to worry.

While true combat professions can do for more damage, people are using these against Jedis, especially on Jedi missions.


A BH one on one usually doesn't do well against a Jedi, at least a big one. A good bomb droid is a great first strike weapon. It makes the odds much better.


Even at 100k a crate, I can't keep my vendor full.

I had Adv MSE (power 37?) on my vendor at 10K apiece. The only ones that sold were the ones my guildies picked up. But the smugglers were rich. Im not even sure they even used em.


I just dropped them to 5K apiece and thats it. I'd rather give the Tolium to our CM than sell them for less than 10K.

I sell factory crates of five MSE droids for 25k. I only stock them when i have the needed resources, the heck with buying i just harvest all my own stuff. When i do have them in stock, they do not last long.

Is the OQ or the DR what makes the Tolium uber for detonation modules?


And btw DE's, any BH who wont pay 75k for a level 57 detonation droid is an idiot. I'm buying all I can, because when our Jedi missions go back to what they should pay us, it is a guaranteed kill against even some masters.

Al the Matters for Droid bombs is OQ.


CMs need OQ and DR.


This is why you can actually swap gas with CM's let's say they have an OQ 995 gas with DR 277, the DE has some 850 and 750 gas. The CM will happily swap, they both make out.

I can't keep DP 55 R3's in stock at 75k for more than a few hours. It's nuts, but in a good way.
