I've seen a dramatic increase in my crafting/medical droid sales on my vendorsince the combat droids came out, and am curious if anyone else is noticing this.


Actually, since Publish 7, I've sold as many craft/med R2s as I have combat droids.

They've stayed about the same. Of course since I'm about 1km south of Kollos' shop, that might have something to do with it.

I think that the last publish raised awareness of droids generally and that has benefited my sales. I get a lot of tells asking about combat droids and droids with the new entertainer module (and disapointed responses to my answer on that one ) but I've takenthe opportunity to educate people about droids a bit and rang up some sales because of it.

Up slightly.


Since the Combat Droids I sold are higher in price, I sell fewer, but I am making slightly more money. But the bad thing is my R2 Crafting Droids, mybread and butter are running out.


I have not tried to make new ones yet, but I have read that you can only stick Combat Modules in R2's type droids now, is that right?

No, you can use a combat-capable cluster just as you would a general-socket cluster and put your 3 modules in that cluster.

The only thing I have been selling since P7 is BH droids. I had 60 or so crates and they are all gone. I now have emails from BH's asking when I will have more.


Making a large factory run ofeach now.

I've seen an overall decrease in everything except Bounty Hunter droids, which have remained fairly constant. I have sold a handful of combat droids, primarily to friends and guildmates, as well as one large order of crafting droids to a friend who is starting a new character that is only going to craft.


The few customers who have purchased the new combat droids have, in general, been underwhelmed. They all seem to have purchased them just to try them out - essentially hoping that they'd be useful. Crafting droids really haven't changed, so there's no new demand for them.



Tarne - no worries, mate. The vendor that you're south of is just my BH vendor. I sell a few side items there, but mostly just Seekers, Arakyds, and ranged powerups. I shouldn't be affecting your droid sales at all.

Way down, i used to sell 10 R2s or 3s a week, sold none since the patch, right before they went like hotcakes. Amazing drop. Ive sold like 4 Probots or so in the last week but thats all.
