hello, i'm trying to be a master artisan and i'm 0004 right now~
i think it's time to craft items to get engineer and business trees...my question is, how do you guys know where to find and what oq items have? do you travel around all the planets and go out there use survey tool and check it? or is there any other way to find out which planet has good oq materials?
since cu..i think it's impossible to go out a planet like darthomir and install harvester.... how do you guys get good materials out there?
thank you oh, and if my english sucks please understand it..eng is not my first language

www.swgcraft.com is a website that usually reports what resources are on what planet and what their stats are. But for my server, there hasnt been much action there since the CU.
The old school way was to (1) just stand at the starport of choice and open your survey tool of choice, it will tell you what's on the planet. Most of it you can hand sample right around the starport. Examine it for its stats and move on. Or (2)just find a place to randomly set a harvestor of choice, on the planet of choice and let it pull 1 unit of everything in the area, retrieve it and examine it.
As for Dathomir, there is an area that is pretty flat, treeless and has hardly any mobs just 1-2k meters south of the Science outpost. All the planets have these "secret fishing spots" and there use to be an old thread about it but I cant find it. My non-combat character can still get to these areas without any escort as long as she's careful. To be on the safe side she usually groups with a level 80 guildmate and carries a spare vehicle in her inventory. LOL
