Thread: Crafter Poll: What resources are the rarest on your server?
Flurry:
Lidium Extrusive ore. I haven't seen it once in 3 months.
Dioxis Gas - just spawned on Corellia and Tatooine yesterday. Whoohoo - - 93% patch outside my shop!!!
Other steel types: Ditanium, Duralloy, Neutronium - all have spawned recently, so we have good supply for now.
Also been on a drought with petro class 4 for a while.
In addition to resources being "rare" there is the added fun of resources being rare AND worthless. So when something finally spawns that you need, it is so bad that it might as well not have spawned at all.
One of the advantages of the "main" architect recipes.... not many named ones. Mainly it is just finding quality resources where it counts. And for the named recipes they are mostly (if not all) furniture where quality means nothing.
On Naritus we just had Ostrine Carbonate Ore spawn for the first time in about 4 months. This normally wouldn't be a very big deal with an Ore except that this particular ore is needed to make Advanced Blaster Power Handlers. Those are a sub-component in about 85-90% of all guns on the market.
So basically up until this past week most of Naritus was running around with lower end weapons because there were only 1 or 2 smiths with enough Ostrine left to make the higher end ones. The Weaponsmithing business on Naritus just got more fun.
There are two "rare" Doctor resources
Dolovite Iron and Class 4 Liquid Petro. These spawn seemingly only once every other month, and then for only 4-5 days.
All other resources are available all the time, although the stats vary. The only other resources that Docs really want are Avian and Herbivore meat. They are "rare" in the sense that it can be tough to find people willing to collect it in large ammounts.

I'm still waiting to see Plexite Amorphous Gemstone on Valcyln.. If it's spawned I've missed it, and I've never seen a noble's crest on my server..
Plexite has been on twice so far since Green Diamonds, once on Naboo and once on Dantooine, I believe. We actually use a small amount so a stockpie of 20k lasts for quite some time.
I actually have some noble crests on my vendors, but the bone crests and lekku wraps actually sell more consistantly.The few times I have made a noble's crest has been when I was in my shop and a twi'lek saw it on display and wanted me to make one.
Despite the fact that the NC can be crafted by some of the tailors, it doesn't seem all that popular. Hopefully it will continue, I like be able to craft outfits that aren't likely to be seen left and right.
Hey, we got Green Diamond on Lowca? I thought it had never shown up! Could you sell me a bit of it?
