How does one go about getting bones for Bone Armor? I suspect you get them off of creatures you kill?

I have a Scout, and everytime I kill a creature, I never seem to find bones on them. I even Harvest their corpses.

How does a non-combat oriented Artisan get bones (other than buying them) for Bone Armor? Do I need the /harvestcorpse skill that the Scout gets? Are there specific creatures I need to kill for this?

When you harvest a critter you normally get three options: harvest bone, harvest hide, harvest meat. All three should appear under the radial menu options, unless the critter falls into the exception category. For example, most if not all critters with exoskeletons will not have bone. They only have hide and meat. If you are unsure about a critter, use the radial option for the first time to see what it has. After that you could use the command line or a macro to do the harvest - just make sure that you specify that you want it to harvest bone or hide or meat - ie. /harvestcorpse bone

Use the radial menu on the corpse.

Choose harvest.

Pick Bone.

(Keep the mouse held down the entire time until you pick the Bone option)

Ahhh, I've just been doing /harvestcorpse and I suppose the default for that is hide...

Thanks!

Not all creatures have bones. Some of the newbie butterfly creatures don't have any bones to harvest. If you are on tattooine you are in good shape, all of the newbie creatures around the town have both bones and hide.

Not true, just most have bone. The newbie beatle types on tattooine don't have bone.

In Narmle on Rori (moon of Naboo), the Chubas and little rabbit mobs have bones. A starting Artisan has a semi-decent chance of being able to kill either.
