The title says it all. I was surprised today when i finished a run of Arakyd Probe droids and they were made in cases of 25 instead of the 5 i was expecting.


I don't remember seeing this change mentioned in any of the patch notes.


I have had customers in the past ask for larger case counts of both probe's and seekers. Now it looks like i will be able to help them out.


Any other factory run changes i am missing?

Yes, arakyds go in crates of 25 now, too.

And the Stacks have been doubled (Seekers to 20, arakyds to 10), so double your price

With all the bugs lately at least one change they put in was a good one.

I have raised the price on mine, and still sell them in crates of 5.

There was no increase in resources needed, but the useage was at least doubled. Which means fewer times in your shop. So some price change should be warrented. Just not price gouging prices.

Btw, how much they cared about DE in the last patch you could see in the patch notes ....


It was listed under Bounty Hunter that they changed the amount and factory crate size ....

Good to know. Was about to start another factory run of Arakyds.


Do Seekers also crate up at 25 now too?

Maybe thats it. On my server I'm about the only one listed on planet and when I was checking prices across the servers vendors I would think at best 10 DEs in total. Maybe more just using bazaars though.


I've been selling mine before for 10k to 20k a set for either and 75k for a crate of 5. I set up a note explaining the price raise (I just doubled) and someone promptly bought the new arakyds I placed there. Just as well I had a new factory run going. My best sales have always been on the weekend so will withold further judgements on price until next weekend.

Unless you are willing to split your crates, yes up the price, not for usage, but for how many in a crate now. A run of 50 before would get you 10 crates, now 2??? so why would I price the same, old way at 10k a crate 100k earned, now 2 crates at same price = 20k... No thanks! not even worth the time and effort.
