I make adv R3 droids with Harvest Bonus:103


My friend, found a droid with a Harvest Bonus of 30


He has Hunting IV


But he told me when he used his 30 rating Harvestor droid it harvested the same amount as he harvested.

So I asked him to use one of mine- my droid harvested 3% better than his harvest, while the 30 rating droid harvested the same.


Is this correct?

To my knowledge shouldn't a droid with harvest rating less than 100 harvest less than the owner? and a rating 100 should harvest the same, 100+ harvest percentage wise more?


Is this a possible bug? I mean, why would you want to bother buying stacked droids if a droid with one or two harvest modules harvests nearly the same as a droid with 6 modules?

From what I've seen it seems to be some kind of relational bonus between your droid and your skills. A droid with about 60-70% of your skill will harvest the same as you, less than that and it will harvest less than you, more and it will harvest more than you.

I also have a 103 harvest droid with hunting 4 skills myself. Not sure on the percentage, but seems higher that 3% to me (not much).


From what I remember from trying it out (just a little):


Babies that give 1 unit, now give 2 (100% bonus)


Creatures that gave me 47 gave my droid 53 units, which is like 12%.


Not sure how it works? If I drop hunting 1-4 and keep novice scout, will the harvest rate drop?


I'd like to see the equation, and how many hunting skill points I could surrender without reducing my harvesting ability with the droid.


Need to know if it's a +103 to crature harvesting (hunting 4 is +45) or a +103% of my harvesting ability.
