You might want to try starting a new thread with the title "LTB: Harvest Droid HB >110" in your server trade forums. Keep it bumped. Bummping is a pain but ya got to.

As for the modules they can only be put in when the droid is built, really need to be a master DE for the project from what I've seen.

^ This is some good advice. > 110 is a good starting point, but I'd suggest striving for something in the 115-117 range if possible. If there is GOOD DE on your server, they should have the required quality resources. You may also just want to contact DEs individually. I found a good supplier b/c I knew his shop and knew he had a reputation for quality. So I contacted him directly and we sorted sutff out.

Hopefully Jaxus can hop in here and answer some of your questions. He's a ranger by day and DE by night. Send him a PM and ask for advice.

careful though... he bites

do you guys know if they changed the stuff on the DE side so that it's possible to make droids this high -- the harvesting modules require oq and cond. and use steel and copper -- this is not an issue with copper, but even with really, really good steel I could never make harvesting droids above 108 with my de alt(the cond. on the steel was always too low). The only 1 time I managed it was when I got an 'exceptional experiment' or something like that, but I was just starting out as a DE then and didn't have the resources needed to do much of a factory run. so, right now I have my own personal harvesting droid that is 113, the highest droids I was able to make after that were only 107-108...

they were able to do it on Intrepid... had a guildie at the time who was a Master DE... I was starting my meat & hide business at the time, bought 10 of the 117 droids to give out to guildies who would hunt for me.

with the new group rules, the droids are USELESS in a group, until the devs decide to fix it, but.... when I hunt solo, it's like getting the 20% group bonus when I'm alone.

it's done by getting almost a perfect (I'd theorize getting a double amazing when crafting, and making a schematic), and putting 6 modules in an R3, which is what the guy did for me.

Thanks - I was able to get my modules up high enough once to get them to that level, but I only had enough raw materials to do a factory run for 9 or so units, hence my lone 113 droid. I was never able to do it again though, and I always thought it was sort of stupid that it was easy to max every other kind of droid module, but harvest modules were limited by the cond. level of the steel. I was just hoping when I saw people posting here that the devs changed something with the schematic to make it more likely to max out the modules (I took a short break from nov.-feb.).
