Hi all,


I am training to be a master Ranger, I have just bought myself a harvester droid and am a little concerned. The reason for this is that i am training to be a master Ranger so that i can get lots of Creature resources and sell them. I am finding however that my droid is able to get me resources from the dead critters than i !!!


Do droids match your own harvest abilities and then add a little or are they gernaly far better than scouts or rangers. If the later is the case then i may move away from master ranger (once i get it that is). It is now 11.35am GMT and i am ingame,Ill keep this post on refresh in a hope that someone answers asap.


Thanks all,

Taken from the DE 101 Thread, sticked to the top of this forum.


Creature Harvest Module
Usable by a Novice Scout or above, this module allows you to harvest meat, bone, or hide off of a creature corpse. The benefits of using this droid are 1) you can tell the droid to harvest for you while you are in combat 2) the droid will harvest at about a 20% bonus above what you can harvest on your own 3) you can command the droid to harvest a corpse that is up to 30 meters away. If used in conjunction with Droid Item Storage, harvested materials will be placed inside the droid instead of your inventory. The Max Rating for a single module is 20, with a combined max total of 120, on the Advanced R3 unit. The following is a rough scale of the bonus you will receive at different stages of Scout and Ranger, with a 100 rated droid. The larger the gap between the droid rating and you own rating, the higher the 'percentage' return.



  • At Novice Scout, someone with a 100 rated droid will have an increase of approximately 30%

  • At 0040 Scout, someone with a 100 rated droid will have an increase of approximately 20%

  • At 0020 Ranger, someone with a 100 rated droid will have an increase of approximately 10%

  • At Master Ranger, someone with a 100 rated droid will have an increase of approximately 5%.

Drashk,


Thanks very much for the very very prompt response. Next time i shall read a little more before asking a question.

But at least this now means that I will keep Master Ranger (well.... when i get there i will).

Forgot to mention it....


You can also use food to increase your harvest rates even further, while using the droid. It makes it really nice while harvesting on Dath.
