Shubacca, shub was there macroing, providing materials, and generally being the coolest wookiee ranger on Lowca. he was there macroing at the exact second i mastered merchant.







So i guess you could say that without my awesome macroing abilites you would be nothing!!!!!!!!!


But really though, I do my best to help out when I can and I feel kinda bad that I couldn't help out more when you were grinding since I was in some hardcore fast moving Spring classes. Hopefully I'll be on more to help you get Ranger back. Let me know if you wanna go hunting, I'm up for it whenever I'm on right now because I'm trying to finish up CH....only 3 more skills to go!!!!!!!!



BTW Drak, have you posted screenies of the Gorax you took down yet? I really want to see them since I was gone pretty much all weekend and couldnt find one myself or get to you to help you take him down.

Thank you, both links helped a ton. I've been batting an idea like this around for a while, I just never really had the time to get to it. I have a half-dozen or so regular customers who order organics, and it takes a LONG time to gather 300k naboo wooly hide...hence not having time.


Money is not a concern for me at all, I've done very well for myself harvesting, butmy name has been circulated enough that I can no longer keep up with orders. I figured this would be a good way for me to be able to keep up with customers' demands, and give anybody with any scout skills an opportunity to make some side money as well. I have a few questions, if anyone involved cares to fling ideas at me, I would greatly appreciate any input. Anybody not involved, for that matter, 30 heads thinking are better than one.


As it pertains to my venture:


1) What are feelings about putting the vendors in a PA mall? My guild is fairly large and hasa PA set up with several vendor types, I'm sure you've seen similar 'malls' on your server? I felt this would increase casual traffic from Joe Random Customer bopping through on a shopping trip.


2) How did you recruit (for lack of a better term) people into your consortium? Was anything done other than to advertise on this board?


3) How long did it take you to get enough of a resource stock to open your doors?


4) Do you buy anything harvested, be it grind-quality, great, or pure garbage casually harvested resources?


5) Are your suppliers primarily rangers, or do you have a large percentage of scout-skilled people delivering to you?


6) Do you have a minimum amount you sell? Everything is in a 500-unit stack, for example, or do you list smaller amounts?


7) How frequent are deliveries? Do people deliver a bit every day, or do you get more widely-spaced deliveries of bigger stacks?


Again, thanks for the links. I have 3 characters, one of which I had already planned to set up as a master merchant. If I can get this off the ground on Sunrunner, I'll have something to do with the extra vendors.

I have 3 chars.. one is master doctor/master combat medic, second is master dancer/master musician with some merchant, then there's Reeza, who is 0040 Ranger and right now part Creature Handler. She supplies most of the meat that my medical character needs, along with alot of help from my guild. At one time, she was master ranger, and master merchant. I dropped Ranger to go after the hologrind, but am returning to what she was happiest doing - Master Ranger. I would be very interested in helping you out on Sunrunner.. I always felt there was a great need for something like this.
