I just ask for the first Peko Albatross feather found. That's usually too high a price for them and they stop bothering me.

A single feather is a too high price?

They drop very, very often and for an "age" more than one per kill. Add that they have next to no use except for those doing the RIS *quests* (in crafting regular RIS armor it's better to use Nightsister Layers instead of RIS Layers, the only component using feathers, so noone really wants feathers for actual crafting)...

I'd guess a single feather is with luck worth 50k if not less.

(I have two backpacks *full* with feathers by now in hope they might become worth something again in the future and I don't even hunt them birdies actively. it's just the feathers from those I happened to 'stumble' accross (mostly when /ar'ing standing somewhere on the main square of Neo-Rome, my residence ).

Edit: Just checked my galaxy trade forum and apparently it's down to 25k per feather.

200k to 400k an hour. That's only because I could be using my time hunting the good spawn...and tracking would take me away from that. For most that price is too high. Oh well.

There are a couple of threads that already discuss tracking prices and the rational behind how and what to charge for your /ar time.
Personally, I don't charge less than 250k per hour. If it's for a jedi trial I will often ask for the loot since they usually don't care. It's been said before though, charge what you feel is appropriate. If you're more than happy to take a tracking job at 50k an hour, then do it. Personally, I'm not a big fan of tracking for people, so I charge a higher price to make it worth my time. Although, from what I understand, 250k per hour is quite average.

I just started tracking for people and everyone that has asked me has been willing to pay 200k an hour. As most of them only are interested for about one buff session I feel I got my times worth out of it and I usually make a friend.

...why the feedback thread for the CU dated the 25th was deleted? I actually made it to page 5, and when I clicked on the "next page" button - poof, gone.


When I checked the "in testing" forum, the remaining threads were still there...just that one went the way of the dodo.


Mind you, a lot of what was said wasn't very appealing about the CU (I kept getting this impression that PvE was "too hard" for upper level critters) but I didn't read anything that was a deleteable offense, not to mention that if something bad WERE posted, they usually just delete or edit the post, not vanish the whole thread...


Anyway, anyone know what happened?

It's not an impression... your average Krayt will nail you for about 30k damage per hit. Dark troopers in bases are level 118, so they'll get you for about 2500 per hit. This is through armor btw...

Everyone knows I'm more or less in support of the CU, but the level system, and especially the greater than 80 modifiers are the worst thing that's ever happened to this game. Taking down a Krayt will literally require like a doctor per player in the team, rezzing once every few seconds.

They seem to be "Cleaning up" that forum, Shren.


And they generally delete the previous day's thread of the same topic (like the "Daily Poll Focus Thread").

And if Tiggs were here he'd* tell you they weren't deleted, they were archived in a dev only forum.

the combat upgrade documentation thread was deleted as well...maybe they need the server space to keep the CU from eating all their socks?

Refering to Tiggs as "he" is a good way to get pounced indeed.
