We got our first spawn of this since release on Kettemoor this shift. Finally!!


Someone posted a comment on TH's thread that I tend to agree with. All those rare resources? once they pop on your sever expect them to continue regularly.


We finally got polonium and plumbum iron on Kettemoor about a month and half ago, it's popped 3 more times since then. The same goes for Kammris Iron and Poly-steel Copper.


We're still waiting on some things, but I know when they come we'll be ready to take advantage. IMHO the schedule for this stuff is about right. These 'Named' rare resources out there are not to be taken lightly. When you see them throw everything you have at harvesting them as they shouldn't spawn again for another long time.


This will help you in your goal of being the best at what you can be. 3 months from now you'll be offering items up that nobody else can because you took advantage of the resource when you had a chance.


Those that plop one small harvester on a rare shift then cry to SOE because it doesn't spawn every week are not playing the resource game as I believe it was intended.

Like I said, we just got our FIRST ever spawn of this during our Current Shift. And there are still resources that have yet to spawn for the first time, including the other ore needed for Master Archy furniture.. (don't remember the name, is it Okolite maybe?)



So I'm just saying that if SWG was to say have a lifespan of 5 years, then these super rare things may pop 10 times in the entire lifetime of the game. That's acceptable to me.


That makes those who took the effort to constantly check swgcraft.com like you do, and do surveys constantly, all the more superior to those who don't take it seriously.


These things should be RARE resources, as they make rare items. When it pops jump on it.

What's the use of having a full set of master furniture without the tables to go with it , seems silly to me


To me this resource should spawn at least once every month or month and a half, not every four months or year

We had this resource spawn on Valcyn a couple weeks ago. It spawned on Endor or Danthomir, I can't remember which. I was able to get enough ore to make up about 100 tables in the factory. They actually look quite nice.

I just used 100k of this to make 500 structure modules! (Or whatever you call the things you need 10 of to go into a wall module)



Explanation:


I just got into architecture in game and a Master that is quitting gave me admin of his house and said take what you like. Before remembering that Pholokite was used in Master level furniture, I burned through a whole stack!

This has been up, but not for quite some time. I have some (down to under 2k of it) that I got some time ago that I've been using to make cafe tables for friends and special orders from frequent customers. I'm still kicking myself for not throwing every harvester I had on it back then and had no idea it would be THIS rare.

I do like the idea of rare resources, but they aren't balanced. The titanium aluminum for the MA bookcases is up practically every week, but the pholokite extrusive ore has been up only once that I've seen since release.

Agree T-Storm, I do wish it was balanced. But I do want to point out to the Archy from Bria that claimed this never showed that it has in fact spawned, Tstorm took advantage, and is reaping the rewards.


Either you were not a master architect and aware of the resource at the time or you missed it.


I'm not saying it should be as rare as it is. But if it showed every **edit** month it would kill the novelty of having that exclusive master architect looking furniture.

OK I havent yet logged on for today, but for the past 3-4 days I havent seen Pholokite Ext Ore on any planets.


If anyone can help me out, either by posting it here where it just shifted to, or if you have some extra you'd like to sell, I'd like to buy some.


Thanks.

Resources never "shift to" anyplace. They are either there - or they are gone - they don't move.

You would have better luck posting on your galaxy board.

Pholokite is a 'rare' ore that isn't always spawned. This makes pholokite-required furniture worth more.
