Ok I was under the impression that Ore capped at 60%. But I have seen ppl posting higher in other threeds. What is the deal w/ this?


I am on Naboo, and not a big traveler. But what I am wondering is does Ore cap at 60% on the main planets and higher % on the remote ones? I have also heard the rumur that the remote planets like Lok, Dath, etc. get better spawns, any truth to this? I have been thinking of moving off Naboo, and just keeping my shop there. I am on shadowfire and from all the veterian players I had talked to 60% was the max. Anyone on shadowfire find different? Thanks a lot, this will help tremendously w/ my new found Arch profession.



** Edit: I found a 64% location now, by total luck. But am still wondering what the cap is. Thanks

The highest I've personally seen on two seperate occasions is 68%, once on dantooine (TC), and again on dantooine (Naritus)

75%. Bear in mind that's twice over the course of the last year.

I've heard 80% is max, but I'm not inclined to believe it until I see it.

I found a 75% carb ore on Naboo in August. It was just south of Kaadara. It was the best spot for ore I've ever seen and I was like a 7 yr old that had found a twenty dollar bill, overjoyed but secretive.

I'm beginning to think that they might have raised the max cap on ore. I currently have a 64% ore site on Naboo and know of a 79% peak spot on Lok. If it was just one site, I'd claim it as a fluke, but 2 sites at the same time?

I found a 75% spot on Ahazi and a 74% spot on Tempest, one time each, in over a year of playing.


Most are 60% or below.

What you do when you find these really nice spots... throw up all your harvs, 1 covert faction scanner in the middle, and a couple medium or large turrets. Then, get buffs and good armor, go overt, and have fun picking on anyone of the oposite faction that wants to build there.

Then one tiny little neutral character comes up and thumbs her nose at you while she proceeds to throw down all her harvesters on it too.

70%, Naboo, East of Kaadara, within sight of the water, about 2 months ago. 72% on Tat, just East of AH, about8 months ago. They still will not admit that they stealth nerfed Ore concentraations.

I could be completely wrong but I heard that the ore cap was actually around 40%...BUT veins can overlap. So if a 35% spot overlaps with a 40% spot you get the cherished 75% ore. The highest it would go in that case is 40+40 = 80. Seems reasonable to me because in 6 months I have only found one 72% spot, and of course that was in Restuss city limits on Rori grrrr.


Typically I mine on 50-60% which actually seems fairly common, again pointing to 25%+25% for50 or 30%+30% for 60 or some derivation thereof.


Another case in point I tend to see 50-60% ore more frequently then I see 80%+ for other resources.


Again it's probably completely wrong but it does tend to make sence, and I haven't personally seen anything higher then 80%.
