Once i saw a mollusk farm, it looked alot like the high capacity flora farm...except the colours were different. and it was named mollusk farm, it was placed right on the edge of the water on yave, just north of the MO..

So i assume that you can place a harvester for mollusks

Okay, there are two ways of getting the schematic for the shellfish harvester.

Short way: Speak to Vardias Tyne, under the bridge, Anchorhead. Sends you to kill a BH that's got him as a mark. On return, sends you to take a bantha statue to a Dim-U monk as proof that, depsite being a bantha murderer, he does hold the beasties in high esteem. (You can keep bunging the statues in your rucksack till you get bored and then offer them on the bazaar / give as gifts etc later). Reward, about 4000cr and a schem.

Longer way: Speak to Rakir under the canopy on the outside of the walls, Wayfar. (Come on, you're a Ranger, you KNOW how to find an NPC...). He'll give you 4 short missions, from which you'll earn about 10k and, on cmpletion, will get the schem.

As far as I can see you can do both, so, either sell on the schems or if you have enough artisan, learn one and sell the other. If/when you drop artisan you still 'know' the schematic.


The schematic allows you to make a shellfish harvester, which is a handheld device that allows you to haul shellfish and molluscs out of pretty much ANY patch of water. As explained elsewhere you could macro this if you feel the need.

the problem is that the stuff has to be stacked manually so you can't afk it (bug?)

If you ever managed to get a response from a dev on that it'll be something like "It's working as intended. Non-stacking resources prevent afk harvesting of a resource"

Easiest answer is to keep a bit of space in your backpack, drag the containers in tehre and they'll stack automagically. Do taht every 15 mins or so and you'll be a happy, if smelly, camper, eh?

I just learned last night that we can do a quest to get a shellfish harv. Not the tool schem mind you but something you can place. i would like to try this out, anyone know where to get this quest?

Going back to the OP (the info about the harvester schem quests is included for the benefit of those who didn't already have, or know how to get, the thing )

Where did you hear about this quest and what are the details? With new content getting pushed out now I'd not be surprised if something DID get introduced, but have seen nothing on TC, haven't found any artwork in the game files, and despite a heavy googling, haven't found any reference to a placeable harvester being ingame apart from an old thread (Nov 03) referring to somebody having head that somebody had seen...

If there is one out there, I want it. Don't have the plots right now, but dagnabit...
