Thread: 114 harvesting rating price check

Can you list the resources and qualities you are using to make this rating? Best I was making was 108 with 956 CN, 963 OQ copper and the best OQ/COND steel I have ever seen. The Inert gas was rated at 901, which gives me a 108 rating.
I recently got hold of some 980 OQ Inert Gas and thought for sure that would boost be up past 110, but even with +79 OQ gas, the best I can produce is a 109 rated droid.
I am guessing the copper has to be the big factor on these things. Is your copper over 980ish in both Cond and OQ ?
Gribnitz, you are on Kauri right? The best steel you can find on Kauri for this purpose is Dimekaine (sp?) Duralloy Steel. Don't remember the exact stats, but according to swgcraft.com it is the best OQ/CD steel to ever spawn on Kauri and it only spawned about a month ago, so you should be able to find it (if I haven't bought it all already). For copper, the bestthat hasspawnedis Abiweb copper (but it's a really old spawn and is very hard to find). I've acquired both and I combined them with some 980+ inert gas and the best I could produce was 109.
I think we need better steel on our server to do better than that, and unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it has never spawned. But you are right, the copper might be the limiter as well.

It might prove worth while to perform tests with the different harvest droids. How many units does someone get on average when using a 105 rated droids, and without. Repeat the tests with a109 and 114 droid. Referance the results again the persons hunting skill and inate bonuses, if applicable.
Knowing the averagepercentage increase would make selling these droids that much easier, and perhaps let us command a better price for them.
If this testing has alraedy been done, can someone post the foeum link? TIA
Harvesting gurks on LOK:
Myself Creat. harv +25 : 77 meat
Droid Creat. harv +106 : 95 meat (111 with +30 veghash).
I also got an +87 droid wich i didnt test out (Havent used it since i got the +106 droid).
Good i love theese droids 
.
1 tip: Never group with your harv droid since that makes him vuln. to agro and you find yourself hunting your droid more than your hunting for creature resources . Dunno if this is well known or not.
Thank all of you DE's for making theese little sweeties.
EDIT: I would pay up to 100k for a +114 droid and im on Farstar. I payed 65k for my +106 droid and 40k for my +87 droid.

Greetings DEs,
I am proud to announce that Cybot Galactica has achieveda new breakthrough in droid engineering on Naritus - one advanced R3 droid with 6 harvesting modules
total harvest rating of 114
to our best knowledge this improves the previous Naritus record by + 10 (!!) points and pushes us on the forefront of droid manufacturers in the multiverse.
Delos Stardust, Master Droid Engineer, Cybot Galactica Droids - leading the pack
/technical details for my fellow DEs ... used Oni (darn rare stuff) and Lufini and Grikobium, used crafting food, tapes and DE belt for +1 ex point, in a research center city (LoknLoad), got lucky with exceptional successes that raised rating from 104 to 114. Will try to do it again - wish me luck :-) If anyone has +2 ex points, we may even go higher than 114 !
/applause
I hope you also posted this in the SCOUT and RANGER forums...and on the general forums for Naritus.
I'm not sure an extra 2 points will help you. Was there extra points left over after maxing out effectivness?
