Does anyone know what survey level (1,2,3,4) you need to survey skevon gas or hydron-3 inert gas?

All replies appreciated thx.

The level of survey you have only effects the range at which you can survey and how effective your sampling is. All resouces can be harvested with novice artisan.



Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

It may not currently be on the planet you are surveying. All resources arent guaranteed to be available at all times, not only on a planet but in a given galaxy too. The only resources I know of that are guaranteed to be available at all times are fiberplast, water, and most organics (ie Nabooian Wild Wheat or Corellian Berry Fruits)

Good points all around here. The main problem is the inflation in resource prices you would see. And that would be across the board. A 1 cpu grind material would now be a 5cpu stock. And those more rare or in demand material like Crism at 5 cpu would turn into a 25cpu resource. And this all in turn snowballs into every other crafter prices to recover those losses. Pretty soon that D18 junk pistol is selling for 10k just to make ends meet!! However, I have something that just might work....


First, drop a harvester at non-novice artisan and you don't see a darn thing in that harvester resource list. Its just a blank list. Rent out that lot to an artisan and guess what? the artisan can see and select the resources present. Move up the Arti tree and get a bonus or increase. Example, the world spawns a 60% concentration of resourceA. To a novice it is 60%. Each level of the tree you have gives maybe a 5% bonus so at survey 4 if youselect the resource you will yield an 80% concentration. Give Master another 5% or even 10% bonus, but cap the concentration at 100%.


This eliminates different certs at different levels. It requires that you spend those 15 points for novice artisan if you want touse any kind of harvestor. And it rewards you for going up the tree.


Anyone see any holes?

Since when do you need novice artisan to use a harvester?


I wish I had known that, or I wouldn't have had one of my alts putting down harvesters and getting some class 4 liquid petro the other day . . .


She has no artisan skills at all, and could see the list on the harvester just fine. She just can't use a survey tool.

Don't let the negative AFKophobes get you down. Play the game however you want.

Is the beta testing almost over for this game?

He is proposing the idea it isnt in the game yet.


Although it is a major concern of the Artisans and will likely be in the game soon.


At least we can only hope.
