...or do they change depending on the planet, region, etc. from which you sample/harvest them?

As a follow-up, I'm a novice artisan going on the weaponsmith track and was wondering if anyone has seen a list posted anywhere that shows the attributes for all the different resources. I've been keeping a rough database on my own, buthaven't beenable to sample more than a dozen or so metals in the courseof visiting two planets. Obviously if the answer to my question is "Yes, they do change", this is a pretty irrelevant follow-up...

i think its all the same unless it depletes from the galaxy. the next time it shows up it may hold different qualities. not sure tho because i never had to account for the qualities while crafting.

Everything changes.....

There's a chance if you sample a resource with a certain name on 2 planets the same day, it might be the same... but there's no guarantee that it will be the same either.

But plan on constantly changeing resources, even if it shows up with the same name on the same planet again.

I don't know for a fact either, but I have read other posts that imply that the qualities of the same name of a material can and does change. For instance you may mine Sapeh Steel on Rori that has a total quality of 853 and then find some Sapeh Steel on Naboo that is not quite as rich and only have a total quality of 700. Other characteristics maybe different as well, such as decay resistence, durability, etc.

I don't know if this is true, but I have read other posts simplying it as such.

I don't think they actual attributes change for specific resources, I have some igiforis an agmorphious(sp) gemstoneand I think the igiforis I've sampled on Naboo will be the same as the igiforis someone else samples on Tatooine but a different agmorphisous gemstone will have different values and could be better or worse than igiforis

I sure hope it doesn't change. If the stats change then wouldn't it be a differentmaterial? If the stats change, it needs a new name (A tiger is not a cheetah, or an Indian elephant isn't the same as an african elephant). If it doesn't then it should stay the same. I spend way too much time trying to figure out what material I should go get for it to change every day. Now, if there is a DIFFERENT type of resourse out there that I just don't know about but would be much better for what I'm trying to make....well, then that is just my inexperience.

Well, like I said earlier, I don't know the answer. However, if they did change it doesn't necessarily make it another Material as you stated. There are all levels of quality of Iron in the world, for example. Or different grades of diamonds, etc. But you would at least think they would give it some sort of name change to make it easier for us (if this phenomenom actually occurs), such as Grade 1 Iron, Grade 2 Iron, or whatever.

The other problem is that when/if they change you won't be able to use the same material to craft. If you have 10 Abe Steel with such and such stats, you won't be able to combine it with Abe Steel with other type. that means you'll always have a bunch of different kinds of resourses chucks laying around.
