Thread: WOW why is it that...

I agree completely that the resource rquirements for Wookie armor are absurd. I've been gathering...no...I've been attempting to gather decent wookie armor resources for months. In fact, I started gathering long before I became Master and I'm not even 1/2 way to having a decent supply of viable resources.
There are two wookies in my guild who are waiting patiently, and Ihate to have to repeatedly tell them that I just can't supply it.
/whine off
are these wookies combatants perchance? I got lucky, my guild is a group of combatants, works out perfectly, cause they can pick up stuff while out PvE, ( All they need is at least one block of scout). the guild am in has 2 rangers to my knowledge and most pick up loot, some have dropped harvestors for me due to out of space. Basicly comes down to organization. they want armor, you need supplies, ask them if they have room for a little scout ( they can drop that when ever they need). at the same time understand how your supplies effect the end product.
I agree though, wookies do get the shaft when it comes to armor. :/ though I do agree with the balance, how the three peices go from light med to heavy.
what I'D like to see them do is, some wookie and ithorian "armor enhancement" (off say the Kimogilias, they tend to have the same stats on their loot drop as rancor). There is some loot hide drops that can be used in Lue of segs ( Voiltor and KlikNik for example), have that drop, scales for ithorian, and hide like stuff for wookie ( nothin worse then hair getting cought in zipper ).

For all your Field Protections needs (as well as Reb Master Munitions Crafter ).

It's not just a matter of picking up some hide from your everyday creature harvesting. If you want just "any old quality" armor, then it is not such a problem. But most people want REALLY great armor, and getting just the right stats on specific hides and flora resources from specific planets simply takes a long time due to the random nature of resource spawns.
For example, when I first mastered Weaponsmith, I wanted to make UBER grenades that used Crism Siliclastic Ore. On Ahazi, at that time, there had not been a single Crism spawn for 1 month, and I waited 2 more months until it finally spawned. And then it was TOTAL crap! I could not find any for sale either. As a result I could not make competitive Thermal Detonators or Proton Grenades or Rocket Launchers. Since I only wanted to offer the best, I simply did not bother.
Moral of the story: Just because a resource is in spawn doesn't mean it is usable. This is why you hear people talking about it taking a year to get a competitive mix of resources fortheir profession.
