Thread: Resource Names?
I've started tracking the stats of the various hide/bone/meat harvests and was curious about the seemingly random names used for them. Are new random names (Ofotep, Arroro,....) generated each time there is a resource shift on the server/planet? If you check the baazar you might see 3 different Yavian woolly hides for example. Usually the older ones (1 day or less left on the sale) are from the previous resource shift, and the newer ones (6 days left) are current. I wish there was an easier way to associate the random names with the animals that drop them. I know many animals on the same planet will drop the same resource that will stack with the resources harvested from other similar animals on the planet. Is there only one specificaly named resource per planet per resource shift? Or might you get 2 differenly named Yavian wooly hides from 2 different animals on the same day? Thanks for any insight.

I'm fairly certain that there is one resource per type per planet at any given time. So, you won't find two different Naboo Wooly types.
There are several websites that track the stats for organics and other resources. I don't use them much since most people won't give away their hard-earned knowledge to everyone in the game (meaning, they aren't updated very often, and I haven't gotten much useful info from them.)
I asked an Artisan friend if he knew whether a resource (from say, 2 months ago) might reappear during a shift, but he didn't know. You could check this by going to one of the above-mentioned websites, and cross reference their info with your current-resource list. Try www.swgcenter.comfor example.
So my best guess is that the resource properties (and names)are created at random when a shift occurs.

You bet! I use Excel to keep track of all the resources I come across, highlighting the current resource.
Since I started keeping track, Corellian Animal Bones have gone through (in alphabetical order) Adourofo, Aiywhoeg, Ilad, Operee, Palca, Recai, Scoefi, Sitheu and Yrbomniv, with Palca the current resource. All have different stats, so check carefully before buying if you need a particular stat to be high for your crafting.
