Hi all,

I'm still fairly new to the game and enjoying it quite a bit - especially Merchant / Architect and I'm going for Master on both. I'm not able to do the grind (can't afford it) so I'm doing it the old fashioned way

I am confused about one thing though.

Yesterday I overheard (technically, I saw typed) two players talking and he said he's running almost 30 harvesters. I asked him if he has 3 accounts and he said no. So my question is; isn't there a limit of 10 lots per player? I apologize in advance if this is a silly question like I mentioned, I'm still learning the game.

One other question: Is it worth dropping down a harvester if the quality of the ore is very high but the highest deposit % you can find is in the 30's to 40's area.

Thanks.

Most likely he's in a PA and using his buddies lots. He still only has 10 lots, just admin rights to the structures placed by another player. He could have done a lot trade with some players on different servers. For a lot trade you just create an Avatar on another server then post in the trade forums, then set a time to log on when the other player is there. They give you the deeds to place and you place them then give them admin rights to the structures, and vice versa. This can be a bit of a pain as it makes it hard to get the new harvesters moved when resources shift. Unless you just mine whatever shows up in that location. My bet is on his buddies placing them for him. You can also pay another player "rent" to use their lots.

Your second question really depends on your needs. ORE is the one major pain item to get since almost everything we make uses large quantities of it.

You may be better off surveying more to find that "sweet-spot" of ore, but if all you can find, and need the high stat ore, harvesting at 40% is worth it for a medium harvester. I wouldn't use a heavy since the increased BER isn't worth the increased redeed/maintenance cost for such a low concentration. (I only use heavies on concentrations over 50%).

Remember that unless you are crafting stations (which use high OQ Ore), the stats that are important are UT, SR and HR. OQ could be a 1 as far as most of our items care. And ALWAYS use lube oil for the chem unless you have a fiberplast/polimer with great UT/SR/HR stats, otherwise you will pull your final combines down too far and won't achieve maximum effectiveness.

I have never been so lucky in my entire SWG life, but on talus I currently have 3 heavy harvestors working on a 60% spot. About 2 months ago they were in the exact same place, working on a different resources at 70%. When that ran out another high % ore popped up, never any less than 55%, for the last 2 months. Damn I love that spot.

Thanks all for the responses. Sure sounds like a royal pain for more lots - at least now I know.

I just found Ore with high stats in UT, HR and SR but only at 47% - so I dropped my harvesters on it.
