Seriously, stop doing that, at least for now.right now, grouping with another player, regardless of their skills, will get you a better boost to harvest than any droid will. Grouping with a Master Ranger will get you twice what a droid could.unfortunately the droid bonus doesn't stack with the group bonus, although I hear the DE corr is working on getting that changed. until they do change it, find a friend rather than a droid.
The problem with that is I'm usually a lone player. It actually worked in my favor with the group harvest penalty before. Now that there is no penalty, I have to try to find people to hunt with me and that's not so easy.
Another quick question, does Veghash stack with the group bonus?

You're not ordering your droid to stay in formation (wedge or column) first are you? I've had problems with my droid harvesting when I've done that in the past.

I was troubleshooting mine last night, (new droid) and had all kinds of inconsistancies, either droid or hand harvesting. Finally put the thing up in disgust, and could harvest normally. Called it once more, grouped, set grouploot to free for all, and that seemed to fix it's quirkyness. (I always group so I can easily monitor status.. or which direction the cowardly thing ran off in....)
I can't comment on the amount of harvest though and if the droid was pulling more than I could. Will check that tonight.

Tramel, if it happens again try harvesting the next corpse yourself instead of asking the droid to do it first. I had a bug a couple months ago that was either similar or the same......meaning I can't remember if I got a "your droid harvested X amount of X" or not. I'm pretty sure I wasn't getting the message though and neither my droid nor myself could harvest anything regardless of who tried first. In the end I had to log out and back in and that fixed it. If I tried to harvest myself, nothing showed up in my inventory, and the option to harvest dissapeared.

I've had this happen with my droidling, and I never group with the little guy. (He has a name. His name is Asty.) He's not scared of much, but Rancors make him leak oil all over himself. We also never group, because he's a lone wolf and likes it that way.
Anyway.
I'll get that same bug, and when I try to harvest the unharvested corpse, it acts as if it's already been harvested--the stuff is just gone. Putting him away and recalling helps sometimes, but not always. I think it has to do with being on a "zone line" or something.
I haven't compared it to his battery level yet, though I hae recharged him just to be sure. (I've found the level shown in my datapad isn't always accurate--it'll tell me he's at 70% and ten minutes later, he's out of juice. Poor little guy.)
But since he's pretty useless now, until they get the bug fixed, he's been sent to the Droid Spa for a vacation. But I may have to have a word for him. No matter how many times I dragged him through Dathomir and then Tatooine, he does *not* need three hot oil baths a day.
(In other news, I just love having a 119 harvest droid that does me no good. It's almost as much fun as a soloing penalty!)
