What is the hard to find stuff?

Nope. Gotta find them yourself just like the rest of us.

Since they are created anewby the server each time there is a resource turnover, (and old resources that dissapear are gone forever)there is no point in trying to keep track of them.

I think he's asking more about the named categories used for the higher schematics, like Doonium Steel, Link Steel Aluminum, Plumbum Iron, etc.

I haven't been able to find a list, either. You can try what I did, which was go to a site with the schematic recipes (like www.swgcenter.com ) and check out the resource requirements starting from high-level elite classes: weaponsmith, armorsmith, maybe architect (I seem to remember that they don't have any named type requirements, just need lots of it). Or check the boards (or listen for WTBs ingame) for desperate offers of 10 creds per unit.

I'm not sure what you're trying to find. Is it:

(1) What the special, rare resources are that you'll need later?

(2) Whetehr or not the special, rare resources are currently avaiabe?

(3) Which planet a given resource is on (assuming it's available at all)?

(4) Waypoints to specific resource concentrations?

The first 3 can all be answered with a visit to my favorite site www.SWGcraft.com The site has a list of virtually every schematic in the game with it's required resources. Attention has now been turned to updating all the schematics to show the expiramental qualities so the "best" resources can even be identified. Resources, with their stats, are being continuously updated by planet & server to help every find out IF something is available, and at least what planet to start looking on.

As to the last one, I hope it never becomes widely available. That's part of the "thrill of the hunt" for people who want to prospect. (People who don't can buy from prosepctors through the bazaar.) It would also rapidly lead to "harvester farms" rendering the sites virtually unusuable.

I do my part for www.SWGcraft.com by helping keep the information for Corellia/Wanderhome as up to date as possible. I spend several hours at it each resource shift. There are a couple of other dedicated volunteers helping out with Corellia/Wanderhome as well. I don't know how accurate other planets/servers are, but there's no reason -YOU- can't help out by at LEAST updating things that are no longer available for your home planet/server..... (Even if the new stuff doesn't get added back in, at least it avoids wild vrelt chases!)
