Armorsmith Archive

Becomer a leader of a guild and unleash a horde of hundred plus guildies whenever there is a good spawn and get as much as possible! You are right though, hide is the killer and the bank buster.

Yeah one of my good ingame buddies started a guild call "bunny" (happy bunny hunting corperation) he goes to mos eisly flashes his lightsaber and is allways able to grab a few newbs for the guild. then he takes them out hunting paying them based on there CL so a lvl 1 will get paid 10 cpu or something anda lvl 80 will 95% of what the hide is being sold for. Works pretty good but takes some effort and tolerence for newbies. A few of his guildies have made millions while leveling up to full templete. They even have special events to get guildies glowy by taking them on corvettes etc.

yes i agree hides are riidiculously overpriced for the ease a good group can get them, i spent 6hrs in total on the dant wooly spawn on chimera galaxy lately and got 400k plus and that is with 3 people harvesting, so if 8 are then you looking at 1million + units selling at 25+cpu (most of the people harvestinga re grinding jedi anyhow so its a by product)

My guild helps me out and friends from other guilds help me out, but yes its wrong...

(just like milk for chefs going for 40cpu +)

If we put the prices of armour up to compensate they would moan (as they have done) so why not have a compromise of rangers and armoursmiths and bring prices down.

The major problem I find on ahazi is that people STILL ABSOLUTELY INSIST that Dantooine is the only place in the galaxy that XP can be made.

I cant seem to get it through thier mildly retarded grotesquely enlarged 2nd generation inbred skulls that a CL80 mob is a CL80 mob no matter where you go. Every planet has mobs that dont assist or agro, but NOOOOOO Bols or Pikets are the only mobs in the game that have XP.

There was (still is) a half decent naboo bristly spawn on naboo, and I've managed to secure ZERO hides from it. Why? Because nobody will get thier stupid arses off Dant.

I normally have to throw a hissy fit to get people to grind anywhere else.

I went and told the Emperor I found out that his mother lives on dantooine, and he's banned me from ever seeing her again. That planet is offlimits to me now, I wont even set foot on it.

Until 2 days ago I had an alt that was Master Ranger and could get 100k hide an hour with a group going..but ive got a few scout/ranger contacts now so gave it up thinking id be ok.

Ive sent out one contract for hide since and only 1 person is collecting for me but thats ok...I just hope I can get a lot of people harvesting for me when something nice shifts in.

Unfortunately Scout is one of the first things people give up when the start on the FS skill boxes, so there is just less harvesting going on.

Because of how easy it is to get hide these days (especially in a group with a master ranger), I am only paying a fraction of what I used to, typically 5-20cpu. If something insanely good turned up, I would consider increasing the prices. The Scouts/Rangers make just as much as they used to, because they easily harvest 5xmore hideafter the CU.

To get your hide, your best bets are:

• Large guild


• Trade forum, trade forum, trade forum (remember to bump)


• Ranger guilds (if you are lucky enough to have one on your server)


• Beginner cities, new players are always in need of credits and have skill points available for scout

/hear hear!

i usually have to pick up a bunch of noobs and offer them 5cpu for the stuff they harvest. Then i take them by the hand with my lvl 80 alt and we go hunting.

most people just forget to collect hide while they are hunting.

I slap my guilds BH about to remind them and I make sure our guild hunting ground moves to different planets to get the hide I need as my AS.

4 BH and one scout harvesting and it rolls in.

The guys all know if they don't help with getting the hide they don't get armour at guild rates (knockeddown prices)as I just can't afford it.

get your guildmates to hunt for you and tell them exactly what creatures they need to hunt using SWG Creatures

works for me.

Its never been easier to get large quantities of hide, prices are now even down to 10-15cpu on Eclipse where as they used to be 50cpu+.

If you can't afford to buy it tho, a group of 8 of your guild members could probably get you 500k+ in a few hours if everyone has some decent scout skills and combat abilities.

Between being ripped off by rangers (only showing up with half the order and then auctioning it later when its out of spawn) and other AS's paying more for crap hide yeah...having a hard time.

A group being lead by a CL80 can get around 4-5k per lair per person harvesting so you would think 10cpu for non uber hide would be ok and then 15-30cpu for increasing levels of quality. But even earning that extra 40-60k per lair dosn't seem to be incentive enough o.O
I'm also seeing resource traders returning to the old pre cu prices of 100+cpu on hides even when its barely out of spawn.
Man I miss novice scout on my combat toon.
