Frank, check your PMs. Yesterday, I tried to inform you on how animal resources work after reading another one of your posts about harvesting.

is there anywhere on this forum that tells about rescource shift other than this thread? because my search did not bring adequate results.
Quite possibly not...the explanations are usually part of a thread. Perhaps we should add this to the guide we are writing?

unfortunatly, there isn't much ot explain, but hopefully my reply will explain things:
Each creature drops a certain type of resource. For this example, we are going to discuss the Gurk who lives on Lok. The Gurk drops Lokian Herbivore Meat, Lokian Leathery Hide, and Lokian Animal Bones.
Each resource has a Catagory, a Type, and a Specific Name. For example:
Organics > Meat > Herbivore Meat > Lokian Herbivore Meat (from Lok) > Owifuuu Lokian Herbivore Meat.
The specific name, for this example is Owifuuu, is what determines the stats of the meat. All Owifuuu meat will ALWAYS have the same stats, all the time. These stats are generated randomly when Owifuuu shifts in.
Resources shift. If they did not, certain things would never be worth going after, because it would always have low quality meat. So instead, a random shift system was implemented. After a random period of time, Gurks will no longer drop Owifuuu Lokian Herbivore meat, and will now start dropping Calculusss Lokian Herbivore meat instead.
The Calculusss meat will have different stats than the Owifuuu meat had. Generally resources stay "in shift" for roughly 14 days, but this is not always true. some resources might only last for 2 or 3 days, while some might last a month.
Also, resource shifts happen at different times. Lokian Herbivore meat does not shift at the same time that Dathomir Avian meat shifts. Because of the random timer, these organic resources are constatly changing.
The best way to keep up on resource shifts is www.swgcraft.com or befriend fellow rangers on your server, and work together to keep each other up-to-date on resource shifts. Bear in mind that SWGcraft.com is a player-run site, and relies on players like us to keep the stats up-to-date.
All of this same info also applies to all other resources, including Flora, Minerals, Chemicals, ect. They all shift after a period of time.
Hope this helps explain it better

Nice Oreet. I think that would be a good addition to the guide. I will reread it and see if there is anyhting you should clarify...maybe then you can submit it to Owen...
i need to change Owifuuu to some other Rangery name like Oweeennn or something like Munkeeluvowen
Teero wrote:hope you liked the Calculusss resource name
That's why I think it should go in the guide! You might try Oweiner for the other resource name.
