Medic Archive

Here's a system that's working okay for me. I make the med's and I put them up for sale in the bazaar. You will have to be competitive in order to make your money.

I get a tell from BrokenButt "Could I please get you to heal my wounds"

/reply "Sure, please bring your own med's, if you don't have any there are some available in the bazaar"

BrokenButt "I don't have any cash, can I get you to make some"

/reply "sure I need 8 organics and 8 Inorganics for every 10 heals, each heal will repair 15-25 points"

BrokenButt "I have some organics but I don't have inorganics"

/reply "there are some in the bazaar"

BrokenButt "please, please, please I really need healing"

/reply "I'm sorry, I don't have any materials to make meds with" (because I used them to make meds and put them up for sale at a fair price)

any more begging after that usually gets ignored by me, I think it's a fair and honest approach, it ensures that people don't get overcharged, it keeps the medics from getting shafted by people looking for a welfare ride. If this helps you, great, enjoy the game. If you're opposed to it, find another medic or... don't get hurt.

On a side note, the idea of tipping a medic when they've healed you is nice, like you do an entertainer. but an entertainer is spending action points that they can sit down and regain. There is a lot of time and effort behind each heal a medic gives you. Tippinga medic the same amount that you tip and entertainer for healing your mind wounds, is just a plain insult. I don't think any of you mean to be rude, I just don't think you realize fully how much effort goes into collecting the materials & processing them, before we can heal you. The day of the bored cleric sitting and medding for his mana to heal you is still in EQ, not here.

Dev's, as a medic, it would be nice to have a public chemical processing station in the hospital where it's clean, instead of haveing to run out in the street to make my medicines. Thanks

I'm with Bob. in RL, the medical profession has got togetehr to establish prices for goods. So should we. I've matched Bob's math and it seems that 16 resources will heal about 150 points. Now we know the marksmans and the like are either looting the dead or are doing missions for those shiny guns. So unless they want to wait they need to share the wealth. Look at it this way, ANYONE can do a delivery mission. Depending on your skill, you can get a couple of grand in creds in a half hour while earlier I was heaing a charity case (cloned with no clone) for close to an hour for just 45 skins.

Don't forget, they need us if they want to go back in the field otherwise they're gaming experience will be wated in a hosptial waiting to heal SLOWLY.
