Thread: sells on spices going
Ever since the Chef revamp hit very early last year and the advention of Doctor buffs, Spices simply do not sell at all. I mean, you might be able to churn a couple out a month like you're saying but it's just not worth it unless you enjoy being a drug dealer. Personally, I think of myself as a Smuggler...but then again, I have no means of doing that...so....yeah..
Most of the time, the credits you put towards power and maintainance on a food factory and the resources just to sell Spices isn't even worth it. I mean, these sell on the bazaar for 100cr per use (2.5k/crate) and it probably costs you 1 or 2 thousand credits just to run your factory.
Sadly, you can make much more than that Slicing for the general public at the Smuggler Forum Recommended price of 7-12k per item sliced. Or just running ungrouped, crap solo missions on Dant if you have some Pistoleer or another elite combat class.
So in summary, no, the vast, vast, VAST majority of Smugglers don't even bother with Spices at all. It simply isn't worth the time it takes to net 1k profit on a single crate.
Spices are supposed to be overhauled in the Combat Upgrade and then phased out as craftable items in the Smuggler Revamp. In the Revamp, they're only received through Smuggler missions with NPCs (no smuggling for other players).
Hope that clears a lot up for you. Probably wasn't the answer you were looking for...but...well...ain't what I'm looking for either.
