Ok I've been working alot on the TC yesturday, eggs are dropped in minimum stacks of 8 by the looks of it, I have at times comes across stacks of 12 as well so the yield appears to have been tripled over what we have at the moment. I haven't had a chance to try the cooking yet and I don't have maskscent so I cannot help with milking figures. Mollusk and creacean NEEDS to be improved, the success rate is around 1/10 and when you do success you get around 2-4 units of materials. It is also exceptionally boring as you stand in water pressing the hotkey for the tool losing around 84 action per attempt, I can see people setting this up as a macro and leaving it on overnight almost. That's probably why the materials don't autostack since you can fill up your inventory using an overnight macro. But the failure rate is certainly too high and the amounts need to be a hell of alot higher.20 minutes of trying gave me 12 crestacean and 2 mollusk.

Do some of you read the posts or do you jsut post asking a question?



Anyway Tal, Doyou think you could ask or psot on getting us a Harvester for the seafood? Serveying is one thing.... but A harvester would be great... other wise it will take forever still eheheh....


Anyway here is a Hint for all of ya that have no idea about fishing, If you get a fishing pole, go to some water it will tell you a catigory level of the seafood and fish, find a catogory 5 spot and bling, bling in the seafod!


Is there any word yet ont he farming proffeshion or the Mining proffeshion?


God that would be the way to help and ie them... farm seafood, or milk... ahhh if only in my dreams!

Oh and you'll be happy to know folks that Milk quantities are much more realistic now, it is a bit tough to find milkable species and then actually get them to stay still long enough to milk them however I was seeing around 12 units from each Paralope I milked and around 25-50 from Judland and Desert eopies. It seems that the CL rating for the animal determines how much milk you get from them. The same might go for lairs on adventure planets and we already know that fishing on those planets yields more too.

It's a great day to be a ranger when this hits live

Fixed how? What's broken with it? I've had irritating luck with fishing, but it seems to work.

I'm trying to gather the materials to make a decent fishing rod, I'll let you know how much it has changed the yeilds then. Howeverthe goodnews is that in around 3 hours I managed to gather around 1500 units of milk by just milking what I came across from time to time. If you went looking specifically for the milkable animals you could probbaly get that amount in an hour. Just make sure you stay within 2m of the animal, don't run and try to get it to stay still if possible. Interestingly enough eggs are less common than milk now so I'm wondering if they'll nerf the quantities, frankly I hope not since alot of chef foods neeed it more than egg.

If you guys don't know how to fish, go visit the scout forums


There's a guy (Volsted I think his name was), that wrote an awesome guide on how to fish.

Actually, fishing has been broken for many people on many servers for about a month now - there is a big thread in the Scout patch. However, rumor has it that the latest patch will fix that (crosses fingers...)

You do need to have maskscent to be able to milk a creature. If you try to milk it unmasked, you get a message saying the creature is spooked and cannot be milked from. It's not neccessary for the creature to stand still, but you do need be be within 3 meters at each check, there are 4 I believe, in order to successfully milk the creature. I didn't find it that difficult to stay within range unless the creature decided to run.




So all you need is Mask Scent? No requirement of being a Master Scout? I kinda wish this were only available to Master Scouts, if only to keep the market from being flooded with milk. In other words, while more readily available than before, I'd still like to see it somewhat less common than a CDEF pistol...






I wouldn't worry about flooding the market with milk. Us chefs need milk by the thousands (yes! THOUSANDS). In addition BE's will also need thousands of units of milk. If I need a 1000 run of light food additives (available in the next patch), you'll need to come up with 20,000 milk to make it in a factory. Now this might sound like a lot to you but as a Chef I make 1000 runs of components at least 3-4 times a week. It would take a scout a huge investment in time to get 20,000 units when they can only harvest 20-50 milk at a time.


What I want to know is can you create Female Kaduu's and milk them?

What I want to know is can you milk a creature, kill it and harvest meat - thereby getting 2 BE materials at the same time?

Fishing does seem broken to me. I crafted 2 97% fishing poles, but fishing does not work. I get the "You cast your line and begin fishing" message, but the animation doesn't happen, and the little window with the options doesn't pop-up. Then I choose "stop fishing" but then, after that, I can only stop fishing, never start again until I take a shuttle, or re-log. This kinda sucks because once the 12th comes, I want to go to Dantooine, and fish there with my awesome poles.
