So.. It was under my assumption that this MOD is not a stack on mine, wich is most unfortunate I think, but nonetheless I have a 105 harvest mod on my droid, and it seems that it is affected by the vagash that I consume. Meaning it harvests more when I eat the food, and thus raising MY personal MOD on harvesting. Is this a bug or is it a bug that it is not stacking(the droid) on to my harvest stat?

ps. whats the best harvest mod anyone has seen yet?

the harvest droid's harvesting ability doesn't directly stack on the players harvest ability, but the players harvest ability is factored in when the droid's harvest ability is calculated. It's not a direct simple relationship, but there is one. That is why the veghash effects the droid's ability. I'm not sure what the exact relationship is.


Not sure if that is what you are asking. you're original question is a long run on sentence with too many grammatical errors for me to know for sure what you are trying to ask.

as to the other question: the best is 120, butcompared againstwhat most DE's are able to accomplish with the resources that are typically available, 105 is quite good.

Malitevv has it right, the bonus is a sliding scale based on your skill vs the rating of the droid. The better your skill, the better the droid has to be to get a bonus. However, that does not mean that the lower your skill is, the more the droid does for you. As near as I can figure it works like so: when a droid rating exceeds your skill,the amount taken by the droidwill have a bonus tacked on to what your normal amount would be. Since you consume veghash and that veghash improves your skill, as long as your droid's rating still exceeds your own, you will see a larger harvest, since the base amount has increased.


A 105 rating droid is probably going to be the most common "good" harvester rating you will see. It depends on the server and the quality of the resources spawned. I have heard tell of ratings as high as 113, but it all has to do with the quality of steel available to DEs on your server. The module is experimented based on the CD/OQ of the materials, and there are fairlylow caps on the CD of steel.

After someone gave me a low bonus harvest droid, I decided to drop scout and buy a high bonus droid.


After calling the droid for the first time, I noticed that I can't train it harvest. This is when I came here and found in the stickies that you have to be scout to train the droid harvest.


So... Will it work for me after I get it trained, or do I have to keep scout to use the harvest ability?

You have to keep at least novice scout to use the harvest droid.

Thank you

what a waste of money....

a Havest droid, a good one gives a bonus, as in, it'll harvest more than a person can.

It also can harvest while you're in combat.

Make a macro like


/specialofchoise

/tellpet harvest


Then instead of spamming your special of choise use that macro, as soon as whatever you're attacking dies your droid will rush off to harvest it

Do you have to have scout and harvest to get these droids to work? I bought one when i had scout and it worked quite well so I dropped scout a week ago and tried using it today and get no harvesting options?


Thanks

Harvester droids increase the amount you harvest when using your scout skills. They dont give you the option to harvest
