Publish 8 note:


  • Added Creature Harvester Module to the DE skill tree: This module will allow any character with the Novice Scout ability to program and control an equipped droid to advance on the look-at target of the player and harvest the resources on the creature. The player can preset the droid to harvest one of the three types: meat, hide or bone. Or the player can just let the droid pick a random resource type

I guess this is the Devs answer to the "not enough meat" issue. I hope this doubles the avian/herbivore meat that I harvest.

2 things on this.


10 bucks says the droid has to be grouped to harvest.


That being said, harvest #'s are based upon group size, giving each person the theoretical ability to harvest something, scout or not. A Solo Master Ranger can harvest more off a creature than 2 Master Rangers grouped together with one other person. Do not expectharvesting to increase THAT much off of this.

And be born a new.

Flames will rain down upon all that oppose him
And when the embers cool

None will be left standing.

Whaaat! I didn't know harvesting #s are based on group size. Thank you for that information.

Word from the Ranger Correspondent so far has it that the Droid is harvesting significantly more than a Ranger, but it has only been tested a little bit as TC is apparently highly unstable right now.

This change is great for us, and a nail in the Ranger Coffin.

Lol I love the developers. Someone prolly forgot a decimal in the equation. Hmm, another question, if I get a Scout droid, program it, then drop scout, can I still use it?
