Armorsmith Archive

Hi, everyone. I'm working on building a good stock of quality resources for smithing armor. My smith character is master artisan already. However, I would like some tips on surveying and mining resources.

Today, I was looking for a good spot of Siliclastic Ore on Tatooine. I looked in 4 distant areas around the planet, and the highest concentration was about 48%. Is it common for resources to have low concentrations? Or do I need to keep looking?

Also, how would you recommend setting up harvesters? I've already taken the plunge for a BER14 fusion-ion generator for power and materials for Muon Gold for my smuggler, but should I get a large number of harvesters, say 5 of each, and then just put down harvesters on what I can find? Or should I stick with a low number of each? I plan on sticking with the BER13 jobs.

Any advice on the subject of surveying and gathering resources in general would be highly welcomed and appreciated. Thanks!

In general, any type of ore will be found in lower concentrations...48% sounds close to the average. I don't think I've ever seen an ore % higher than 60.

For a fairly complete listing of current resources, check www.swgcraft.com.

I recommend placing all your harvs on a single resource spawn, and rotate to another after a few days.
