I am mostly creating this thread to talk about my titanium aluminum woes and wondering if people are having the same problems. I became a MBE post cu and wasn't a med crafter before that so I haven't gotten the opportunity to pick up a good shift of it. Despite that I still make very good quality meds. My greatest problem right now is titanium aluminum. It takes 28k of it per run of AIAs which is the most for any of the subcomponents of the CM stuff, and the biggest problem is that Titanium aluminum is a component for lightsabers. So every type of titanium aluminum that is even remotely OK quality, it is priced at greater than 10 cpu.

I guess I just have to keep paying more for the alum and hope for a good shift soon. Why couldn't they have made it any other type of aluminum!!

Yes!

I posted this in here a while ago. Still having the same troubles. Haven't seen a spawn in weeks, and on my server there is nothing on the global vendor search that is not LS priced (75+ cpu). I've searched all the aluminum against all the titaniums listed in SWGCraft multiple times. Nada.

Thankfully I just found a pre-CU CM crafter last night who has some to share. Hopefully a spawn will come soon.

Fortunately, I play on Gorath, which has been blessed with two great spawns of titanium aluminum, which i was able to harvest approx a million units from the second spawn a while back. I do feel your pain however.

Kirvin - I would suggest checking the listing from a resource deed. That might point out 1 or 2 specific resources that swgcraft was never updated with. I assume you have already done that, but thought I would offer the suggestion just in case...

On Flurry, I was fortunate to run into a few stacks on vendors shortly after the CU. I bought up enough to last me through a reasonable drought (but I would really like a spawn before Christmas).

I also wonder what the drop in power would be by using the non-advanced IAs? Probably 150-200 power?

while on Flurry, don't visit Ojes Yobe's Liquidation Vendors just 800M from Theed starport on Naboo (neg5219 3419) - cause they ain't there anymore! They are now exclusively located in Mos Athens Mall

It is the bane of my life, not only does it spawnless frequently than rocking horse poo but alsu due to the horribly low DR cap it seems to have on it making durt toss horribly out of sync with the other meds we can make.

I think I may be lucky. There was a recent **edit** Alum spawn on Valcyn that was the best ever for Lightsaber crafting. However, the DR was unusually low (even for **edit** Alum) making it not-so great for my needs. But with all of the LS resource providers switching to this new one, I think I can get ahold of the old (very good for my needs) stuff for less than 50cpu. 15cpu would be nice (comparatively speaking). Dare I hope for 10?

Resource issues have been a long standing problem for CM, and now BE crafting. Many of the resources are infrequent spawns - Titanium Aluminum, Class 2 LP, Class 1 Radio, Eleton Gas, Tolium Gas.Actually, baring random bad luck, I think that the aluminum and tolium are some of the easier ones to get, just because they are used by other professions (WS use or used to use titanium aluminum, jedi use titanium aluminum and DE use tolium gas). Consequently, when some pops on the server, more people are likely to harvest it.

The CM community has tried several times to change resource requirements, unsucessfully. I think the best we can do is try to get the devs to tweek the spawn frequency.

Actually I have not. That's a good idea, thanks.
