Is there a place on Tatooine where ronto/bantha spawn easily?

On Tarquinas we have had a spawn of avian that is going for 100cupa.

On Kauri:

Herbivore: 50-70.
Many docs will also only pay about 50cpu, unless all three stats are above 900. Gotta remember, they use 3 times as much herbivore than avian when making buffs. And much more than that if you consider Stims and other meds.

Avian: 100-150cpu
That's about average. For the past 6 months, we haven't had any avian with excellent stats in OQ/PE/DR. Lots of shifts with 900's in both OQ/PE, but the DR would always be about 100-200..
I could see it going above 150, but 100cpu is a given.

Doc buffs on our server are 12-15k. up to 20k for people offering buffs on Dath or Endor.

Good post but any doc who is smart and making a full run of buffs (333 not counting schematic creation, limited due to 3 identical ABEC/pack), will use:

53,280 Herb Meat

38,628 Avian Meat

Making a full run of 1000 ACRDM (the components that take herb meat) for each stat pack schematic is a waste, because you end up with 333 left over, and it's this awkward number that's tough to use in the creation of other things. Also, ACRDMs are a single line experimentation item so very easy to max without waste. Also, you can get away with making veggie (non-herb meat) CRDMs if your organic/inorganics are good enough for your action packs.

Back to the topic at hand:

Sunrunner: 40-100 cpu for herb, depending on where it comes from. Remember that Herbivore meat is PE capped at 700. You can have a 999OQ herb meat, but if it has 84 PE, it's worthless to mostestablished docs. Avian, up to 225cpu, although ther ehas been a concentrated community effort to not pay more than a certain amount (usually 150cpu) and as a result, a lot of docs are still only charging 10-12k per set of buffs at starports.

My advice to rangers? If you get a 900+oq 600+PE herb, or 900+ oq/pe/dr avian, harvest the living *(&^ out of it, and sit on it for a bit. Docs usually don't just go home and try experimenting the first day a meat comes out. They need to make 3 sets of sub-components per stat, so usually, when we do experiment, we set aside a chunk of time to play a tad and see how we can max power/charges. Result: We don't know how good our packs will be the first few days of a good spawn, most of the time.

Also, if you sit on it and don't settle for less CPU than you want, and it's good meat, a lot of docs will have schematics that require the meat that they haven't used up, so you can get the price you want. That being said, if you gouge, prepare for some hate. There is one ranger on Sunrunner who is pretty universally hated, boycotted, few people will buff, because of their gouging practices.

Credits per Unit is abbreviated CPU. Cupa is acceptable as far as I am concerned, but people may think you are offering animals in exchange for meat. .

On Intrepid, most HQ creature resources go for 30-50 cpu. Current Nabooian wooly hide is going for 100+, but that's just because the armorsmiths want it really bad and set the price that high by offering to pay that much.

Sounds like you guys got the spawn Ahazi did about 2-3 months ago. Armorsmiths were offering 125cpu for it, generally. Even some were offering 200cpu for 20k+ stacks. I took a long break after killing so many gualamas and peko pekos.

I can understand that....it's fun at first, but gets old pretty quick. The upside is I don't lose armor condition since I don't have to use it hunting on Naboo. Though, it'll probably be awhile before I even want to look at another gualama again.
