read in another post (scout forum I belive that it does).
In that case would I be able to harvest max as a trandhosian with 0030 ranger?
Would be 10(racial)+85(skill)+30(from vegash). Or could I get much more as 105 m ranger +10 trandh +30 vegash (dunno if this in any case would be 140 pr 145? or even 150 with fs box).

I wanna harvest as much as possible but 0030 ranger would allow me to get m brawler + m pike an nov medic.

Anyone know?

Come to think of it, i havent really checked.
I have Master Ranger, +10 Trandoshan, and +32 (i think) from Veghash.
Also in my collection is a +100 Harvest droid, but he got a bad habbit
of oiling up the wheels and head for a solo spin from time to time so
theres more anoyance with him than without.

I also plan on the +5 FS when the time comes, but if it caps, im not sure
i will bother.... Guess we need to wait for the experts to reply.

/sit and wait with coffee

The harvesting droid and the veghash both work as a percentage increase over your base harvesting skill.

- A harvest droid of +115 increases your harvesting skill by 15%. Therefore, a +100 droid is useless.

- Veghash at +32 will provide a 32% increase to your base harvesting skill.

I am not sure of any cap in place so someone else can step in there. As far as I know, all harvesting skill modifiers work and stack, so I don't worry about hitting a 'cap'

best way to prevent your havest droid from being aggro'd is by not grouping it. Then the only way it will run off to never never land is by an area attack.

This is common error that I see posted a lot on this forum. The harvest bonus of a droid is NOT just a straight percentage of your own harvest bonus. I regularly use a +76 harvest droid which ALWAYS harvestMORE than me (Master Ranger). I have actually tested harvesting with a +116 droid and I harvested no more than when using my +76 droid, so I believe there may be a cap to the benefit a droid can give, which I believe is also related to your own harvest bonus.


Also, though most people recommend *not* grouping with your droid, I tend to do the opposite. This is mainly due to the increase in XP you get for being grouped, now that I am trading it in regulary...

From what I have been lead to understand, racial modifiers are over and above other modifiers.


example, if you are at 100 harvesting, then eat veghash that raises you to 125 (let's say) you would then add yor racial modifier on, so you get to harvest at 135.


The cap only applies to "artificial" means (for the lack of a better word) to raise abilities.

For anyone shopping for a Harvest droid, try to get at least 1 combat module in it. Then it will not run away when it gets attacked. My friend is constatly searching everywhere for that silly droid of his.


Me, i do it the old fashioned way.

I went for a trap module instead, if he starts to leg it I just hit my launchtrap marco and he stops in his tracks to fire a p-dart at my current target - as long as I'm quick enough to notice him fleeing!

And who was it said harvest droids were useless and to buy a fighter....


Oh right...me.


And I beg to differ on the capabilities of the droids. Anything less than 100% should be getting less than you would normally, as they work off your abilities. Could have been a bug, you may be mistaken. And that's straight from the Dev's guides on droids.


JB

who is much a much faster harvestor when his killer droid helps drop creatures. Leastways Bun-Bun don't run.
