Thread: What Resources Sell?
Welcome to Rangerhood and to the friendliest SWG forum of them all.
My alt is a fairly new Master Ranger/Rifleman, buthere are a few things i did along the way
if you want to do some research , checkout swgcraft.com and look up the different meat and hides ,notewhat professions use which resources and then note what qualities are importantto your target buyer (Chefs, Bio Engineers, Armorsmiths etc )
Also check around with folks on your server, many times there will be Mailing lists put out by prospective clients listing what current spawn they want and what they are offering , ID a couple of these buyers and get yourself onthelist
Fly your Rangertags and when you get it your Master Ranger tagand you will find other Rangers for hunting groups, buyers may contact you etc , be visable )
The BEs I work with all seem to focus on different items and therefore need different resources. I look out for good resources, by either using swgcraft.com or sampling when I go to a planet, and I let my customers/crafters know if I find something. I have had crafters pay me a bonus because I am the first to notify them of a good spawn. You sort of have to figure out which crafter likes which stats better. I put these notes in my friends list so I can reference it. I have a chef that is only concerned with OQ, PE, and FL, while another chef likes all four resources to be at a certain level. Work with the crafters and customize your hunting to their needs and it should pay off, literally.
I find it difficult/frustrating/boring to hunt when I don't have a specific crafter who has already agreed to buy it. You can stock up on 50k units of scaley hide with good stats, but you need to figure out what to do with it. Are you going to go afk in starports and spam people so they ignore you? Are you going to put it on your vendor?
