Single Highest Payout:
7.5 Million for Dathomir Leathery Hide. (every stat was in the high 900s, so i killed virtually ever living thing on dathomir for a week straight)

well, all this is making me wish I was at home on my PC getting some money for the orders I have. I get to go hunting on Lok for some herb. meat, at least I think. Highest payouts so far are 100 cpu for fish meat to a guildie and 55cpu for some dant wild meat for another guildie. Treat your guildies well, and they will treat you well in return. (I am still waiting on that BE pet...)
I do know people are willing to pay 75k-100k for 30 mins of me tracking, and I get to keep the loot...So, all I need is for the me jedi friends to start hunting krayts, GDK's, and Albatrosses and I will be getting some nice stuff. /sigh, not having your PC with you SUCKS!

7 mil on the most recent good spawn of Endor herb. 7 days of unbuffed , grimey ranger work and 100k units later , it all made it worth it. That may be the last time i hunt for that kinda quantity, or maybe not. I started to get a littel stir crazy after the 3rd day

Recent times:
9 mil split three ways for a Krayt Pearl.
8 mil from a Binary Liquid.
7mil from a spawn of Corellian Avian starting at 100cpu -> 300cpu before the week was out.
Can't complain about earning cash as a ranger.

Very nice with the Dath thing.
Biggest haul off of one shift: Great shift of Dant Wooly a while ago; I knew I was going to have less time very soon, so I hunted the crap out of it. I could get 10-30k a buff session (depending on proliferation and my attention span), I hunted it for 1-2 sessions a night for five or six nights, and it sold for (average) around 100 cpu--do the math. I still refer to that as my "nest egg" shift.

I have been spending my time with Vubo recently running around Lok grabbing a good Herbivore Meat that is out. It is still in spawn and so far I have harvested 110K of this Herb Meat (which is currently going for around 80cpu on our server I believe).
So all told right now I probably have 8.8 Million worth of this stuff if I want to sell it. The bad news? I had a Doctor as an alt so I am going to use all the meat with him instead of selling it for instant profit.
It's times like these I think it would be easier to just keep on toon and do something very specific like harvesting creatures for cash and not worry about if I want to sell it or keep it.

Gotta love the non-mission Snorbal and Gurk lairs. When Lok Herb meat is in shift, those things are like money in the bank.

Except, unlike the gradaul increase in cpu we rangers like to see over the course of a spawn, this stuff got flooded fast and the cpu dropped from an initial 70-80cpu to a current 20-30cpu.

but now while that spawn is still out there (and has been a pain to hunt, i might add, as wild gurk lairs are pretty scarce on our server these days), we got a great spawn of tat wooly, tat insect meat, and talusian insect meat (oq is 1000). so it's not all bad.

Well, for me, nothing as amazing as some of these 8-10-20 million credit hauls. However, I like to think it's a rather appropriate Ranger lifestyle story...
I've actually been oh-so-slowly working my way to Master Rifleman (I know, I mastered Ranger long before I did rifles... silly me, I just can't "grind" any of this :smileywink. The other day, I decided to get a BE pet since I was getting a bit bored with Sparky (my R3 combat droid). So I picked up a cute lil lvl 10 Razor Cat named Jinx. Now the guy I bought Jinx from I met in his shop, and he found out I was a Master Ranger. Figured he'd add me to his list of "prospective hunters". Dantooine wooly spawned in fairly decently recently, and he decided he'd pay 35CPU for it.

Dantooine wooly spawned in fairly decently recently, and he decided he'd pay 35CPU for it.So here I am, needing to "grind" rifles XP anyways (and aren't huurtons just GREAT for that, multiple missions I can pull on my own, clear 5-8K credits per mission PLUS gravy money for all the hides I pull as a MR using veghash), and with a wonderful new pet to play with and get used to, figure out tactics, etc. So I head out with maskscent on, my veghash, my trusty T21 & DXR6b rifles, and Jinx at my side - no buffs for this Ranger! I ran the length and breadth of Dantooine's northeastern quadrant, and huurtons feared my wrath. Well, my casual gameplay wrath, somehow the wife woulnd't agree that hunting for 6-8 hours a day was somehow "worth it" so I kept it to a respectable few hours each night.
Anyways, somewhere along the way I managed to forge a mighty hunting team with Jinx, work out MOSTof the kinks with my hunting tactics using my new pet, level up enought XP to get the last 2 boxes I needed in rifles and get Master Rifleman (goes nicely with my Master Ranger I think and definitely fits my "character" in game), and would you look at that - without even trying or hunting seriously, I managed to pull in somewhere around 34K+ units of the wooly hide, plus some assorted scaley & leathery that my contact is always willing to buy for 5CPU (grind stuff). So 1.2million credits later I've now gotten fully restocked on my "B" woundpacks andsome REALLY nice Stim-Bs from Doc Spiderwell, going to restock some of my dwindling food stock (brandy & veghash mostly), and still banked upwards of a million credits. Most I've made on my own in game so far, and boy did it feel good. And now that I'm Master Rifles, man... can I just say I've seen some of you all post at HOW amazing the difference is, but I really dind't reazlie just HOW good it was. I decided on a lark last night to accompany my guild BE to Dath since he wanted me to camo him, and I needed to get some more Dath animal bone to make the kit so I wentto help him out. Took me and Jinxjust a couple minutes to take down a brackaset lair, and again - bonus in that I got a ton of brackaset plates that he's also willing to buy for his armorsmith alt. How sweet it is....

Should make 2.25 million when the naboonian avian meat shifts out. 30k of meat at 75CPU. Shame its not worth more really, I might try and blag 80cpu for a bulk delivery

Hola,
In one spawn of dath carnivore meat at 35cpu, I hunted solo 1.5 million units for a gross total of 52.5 mil. Sold the meat to 2 seperate chefs....Life was good that week...
