Thread: Resource changes
20 days my butt.
A really high grade resource will change in a heartbeat - literally I have seen it change in less than 24 hours. You find one, hunt it.
Naboo wool was 1000SR with 800OQ, that lasted 2 whole days. Talus avian was 990 OQ with 980 PE, lasted 36 hours, then changed 3 times in an12 hour period, from great, to crap, to semi crap.
You count on 20 days... me, I count on minutes and harvest what I can as fast as I can.

I contribute some to SWGCraft, and I've noticed that resources are sometimes out of date, ESPECIALLY the scout/ranger harvestable organics. It is much more difficult to keep these up to date. I wouldn't count on stuff staying around for 20+ days just because that is what SWGcraft says.
If anyone knows from their own personal experience how long organics stay in-spawn that would be helpful. But SWGCraft (an awesome website!) is only as accurate as the data put in, and it is often out-of-date in regards to harvestable organics (mined stuff is usually pretty good though.)
Guys,
It's random. Generally it's about every two weeks, but it's gone as long as a month, and as short as four days.

Does the resource change mean that we can build better sabers with our current resources or is it just a new way of displaying the same old info?
I put this in another thread, basically saying these changes were the best thing since sliced bread, which they aren't.
Trust me, it is not as simple as that. There are mystery gates on stuff all over the place, that are not explained. Also, the crafting attribute bars on the side are jacked and don't reflect the true values going in.
Crafting is way screwed, across the board. And, this damn percentage attribute stuff is NOT a good thing. Ask any good armorsmith or weaponsmith.
It works like this: if you had needed a steel with OQ and CD at a 66/33 split, and the CD is in a gated range of 600-700, and the stuff you had was 900 OQ and 610 CD instead of having a weighted average of 2410/3 = 803.3, you get something like 1830/3 = 610.
And on top of that, the splits are not as indicated. It might say it is a 66/33 split, but in reality, it isn't always correct.
This new system makes it very difficult to know what resouces are good and which aren't. The system is NOT good for anyone.
