In publish 8 there is notes of droid module that can harvest resource from mob.

So a player with that droid can harvest resource without be scout ?

thanks

No. You need to have at least novice scout to use that module.

I'm assuming (or hoping) that the amount of harvested organic will be tied in to the players harvest ability and not the ability of the droid.

I don't know... I could go either way on this one (though there's not much point in conjecture as we'll find out soon from the valiant people on TC anyway). On one hand, it would be nice if we could use experimentation to make a better harvesting droid. On the other, you don't want to let any old Joe walk away with tons of hide just because he has novice scout... Guess we'll see.

Checking your spelling (and punctuation, too) will ensure that you're making sense to more than two people.

If it's based off of some combination of a players harvest ability and droid ability or purely based off a players harvest ability, that will be alright.

If it is only based only off the droids own ability, there will be a ton of PO'd rangers who will soon be swarming all over the boards complaining loudly. Rangers aren't very useful as it is, just about the only thing we do well is harvest. And if these droids give a novice scout the ability to harvest as well as a master ranger....well lets just say that won't go over too well.

I haven't had a chance to test one of these myself, though I just sent someone out with one (right before server crashed). There is an experimental rating on it, and it shows up as creature harvesting bonus or some such thing, so I don't know...

If the experimental / quality rating counts as a harvesting bonus to a players current skill, that would be great!

The Harvesting bonus appears to be arbitrary but we can't field test this yet.

It didn't work in the LE I put it into....

Gonna try an R2 and see what happens.........

As for me, I'm assuming (hoping) that the droid will act in addition to the scout/ranger's skill, just like having another novice scout in your group. You harvest the corpse, then the droid harvests the corpse.

Thanks to Jenden I got the chance to field test anAdv. R4with the new scout modules. So far the tests are a bit rocky. First Spawn I happened across on the outskirts of DC were Cupas, a nice easy single spawn. One by one they fell.While I,the skilled scout could only harvest 14 meat from the beast my trusty droid managed tofind 103 more units then me. Thats right 117. Next test a little no-lair spawn of womp rat and big brother muntant. After a dairing fight, (the mutant conned yellow to me) We tried again. This time I was the master hunter, I pulled 23 meat off of the nasty litle muntant creature, while my droid managed a puny 3 units. The basic womp rat also gave similar results I hand harvested 15, while the droid only pulled 2. As I sat waiting for the next spawn the world disapeared around me and in the blackness I see loading....Well it seems its back up. off for more tests

Were scout droids able to harvest while you were in battle?

a little question that guys of TC I think can answer in few days.

OK I need at least Novice scout, but something like "follow target" "be friend" so I put with my main ( master ranger) droid on my Jedi and when outside in hunting I collect organics while hunting with jedi.
