Last night I was hunting in a guild group on Lok, we had 2 Master Rangers and 1 almost Master Ranger (4/4/4/4) plus other persons with scout skills. At one point in the evening when the group was at it's largest I was getting 951 units of leathery hide from gurks, which to me at least is an amazing quantity, even better it is selling for 7-15cpu at the moment.


I was hoping I would go over the 1K mark per creature but I didn't


I was wondering if any of you had got even bigger quantities ?

Yes, not Master Ranger but I have noticed a substantial increase in the amount per harvest. Also, maybe I was just tired, but it seems to give more with higher lvl creatures as well.

Yes in a group situation and vegash and such I was getting 998 units per harvest from level 82 creatures. Think it was Tat Scaley hide.

I was doing CL50 mission for tusk cats on Naboo, and was pulling 250-350 units of hide per cat (depending on location), and I was on my own and not using armour or food or drinks or droids.

Just delivered enough Naboo bristly hides to our armour smith for 733 sets of advanced battle armour

Yes, the higher the CL the more you harvest. I'm not certain that the harvests go up any more after you have 1 master ranger in the group, but maybe having 2 gives a greater bonus.


Post-CU creature harvesting (especially on Dant, Dath, Endor, Lok & Yavin with missions) is very easy. A group of 4 players, with only a scout bonus on Lok was able to collect over 100k of Lokian leather in about half an hour.

Dunno if its intended but it does the more rangers you have the bigger the bonus.

Just get a mission on the creature you want, their CL will be around yours, camo, use traps, pull one at a time and kite. Harvesting depends on the lvl, the higher the CL the more yolu can harvest.

Please note, for high CL players, that only works on advanced planets. Starting planets cap at a CL of 60, and sometimes the mission is bugged and it lowers the CL down to 16.

I get lvl 79 cannibal dewback ones everyday. I spend 90% of my time on tat at my ranger station 200m from jabba's. Great place to find krayts also, I love it.

Might be a server difference then. I live on Tatooine myself, and all my missions, creatures, NPCs, faction all cap out at 60 on the mission details screen. Then I'd say that one in 4 missions revert to CL 16 when I get there.


However, having the faction cap out at 60 wasn't a problem for me. It was great for faction farming so that I could delegate some fp to our guild AS and get a set of faction armor.

Anyone have any test numbers on this? The devs have stated that this bonus doesn't stack - only the highest ranger level is taken into account.

In other words, 1 master ranger in the group would equal +40%...
a group of 8 master rangers would equal +40%...
A master ranger grouped with 7 novice scouts would get +20%, while everyone else got +40%.

I haven't noticed harvest rates stacking.. although I'm not saying it's untrue (although it would be seem to be a bug, if that were the case). Just curious if anyone has any actual numbers/figures.
