Thread: where do you find better grade minerals?
It depends on what you are looking for. Some things just have some stats that are normally low. Steel typically has bad Conductivity, Ore usually has bad overall quality. There are exceptions of course; on Chilastra we just had some copper spawn with 4 if not 5 qualities in the 900+ range. And I have a stockpile of 999OQ aluminum that I use for medicines.
It takes luck mostly. Make sure you look on www.swgcraft.com and help keep it updated. It's the best overall comprehensive list out there.
I go to SWGcraft.com and scan all the resources available on my server. When I've identified what I want to harvest I go to the planets those resources are on and begini to survey. I'll go anywhere except Corellia, Dathomir, or Endor. Those planets just have too many mountains for me to want to deal with. And if I'm going to harvest on Naboo I'll go to theed and head north to begin my surveying. When I began mining I just mined whatever spawned on Talus. Talus is a nice place and always easy to find buildable land.
