I just got Novice Artisan yesterday because I heard you can make a killing selling the resources you can make from Havesters. I have a few questions:
1) Which resources are the easiest to harvest?
2) Which resources will make you the most money?
3) What is good servey for each resource?
4) Is there a good place to servey for resources, or is it all just walk around for a while then turn on your servey device?
Also, any tips you can provide would be good.
Thank you!

1) Minerals since they are the most varied kind of resources. Ores, Metals (Ferrous, Non-Ferrous), Radioactives and petros.
2) Same as number 1. architects, Weaponsmiths and Armorsmiths will pay you well for good resources. They do however have different opinions of what a good resource is. Architects Look for High UT and SR. Weaponsmiths might look for other stats. Find out what constitutes a good resource. Simply having an Overall Quality of 999 doesn't make it a good resource.
3) You can reguarly find 80% to 90% spots for ore and radiactives, at least on Radiant. Where as wind rarely goes above 50%. I just started collecting moisture but I've read on the forums that 60% is usually as high as it goes. Don't hold your breath for a 90% spot to drop your harvesters, if you can find a 75 to 80% spot for any mineral you should take it before someone else does. If you have time to search the whole planet then go ahead and hold out for something higher. Just remember to make a waypoint to the highest concentration you have found so far. I like to keep at least two waypoints When I find a higher then one or both I delete the lowest one. In case I can't drop my harvesters on the highest spot because of terrain or if other people have taken up all the available space I go back and use my back-up waypoint. /Waypoint is your friend.
4) Resouces shift all the time, usually in 5 to 8 day cycles but sometimes less or sometimes more. They try to keep things ramdom. Each time a new resource comes in it will have different concentration patterns then the others. A 90% spot of ore may only have 15% of Copper if any all. What I like to do is survey a perticular resource, sample it and examine it. If I think it's worth harvesting I keep the sample in my inventory if it sucks I just delete it. I'll do this for most Resources on the current planet I'm on. Once I find a resource with stats that I like I begin to look a high concentration of it.
I hope this helps you out.
gotta go Happy New Year!
