Medic Archive

Hello; I've recently returned to SWG and took up Medic. Before leaving SWG all I ever did was combat type things.

I never crafted, or use buildings and lots at all. They never interested me.

I'm really enjoying the Medic profession and plan to go all the way to M.Doctor.

I am seeing the need big-time for my own way's of harvesting resources. But, I don't have a clue on how to get started doing this.

I have 10 lots. How do I start harvesting?

Is it just a matter of buying certain types of harvesters and plonking them down?

Again, I know nothing of finding resources, buying harvesters(who sells them?) where to put them, how to maintain them, etc, etc, ....

If there is a guide already submitted for this, please point me in the right direction.

Thanks much.

I guess a couple of places I would reccomend would be the Artisan FAQ:

and the Doctor FAQ:

http://www.geocities.com/mcglonec1978/swg/docfaq.html

Both deal a bit with resource gathering and the ins and outs of crafting (the Doc FAQ is quite good for med crafting concerns, actually.)

The big thing about resource gathering for a Medical Professional is multi-layered. You can either buy resources off the Bazaar, if you can find them, you can find a Resource Vendor (there are often several out there, a few of them on your server just might even try to specialize some in Medical Resources) to buy from them, you could try to get an Artisan (usually a friend or PA, but you MIGHT be lucky to find a surveyor for hirer) to gather resources based on your needs, you can try to pay an Artisan to find resource survey points to send to you (so you will know where to put your harvesters) or you can do what the vast majority of medical-types do... become an Artisan and go up the Survey tree so you can get all of that stuff yourself without getting gouged into oblivion.

Most medics who are "in the know" never start a character as a Medic, they star as Artisan. Or if they do start as Medic the very first thing they do is to go to the Artisan trainer and become an Artisan (usually they start as medic only to get the Damage stim you get as a starting Medic that is the only stim in the game currently that heals a tiny bit of mind damage. Useful in a pinch for a non-CM.)
