Are harvesting droids useful for ranger? I ama master ranger, and I just bought a new harvesting droid. It has a +107 harvesting rating, but it harvests less than 50% of what i can do by myself. Is it supposed to be this way or is this a bug? Did I just waste 65k?

Before the CU I used my droid all the time.


Afterwards, I had the same results you're describing. So my droid just sits there taking up space in my datapad.

I thought that I read that the droids are working in groups now for the extra added bonus like theyre supposed to. We need to check it out.

Hmm. I got those results by grouping with my droid. Maybe I should try it ungrouped. Also, is a +120 the best you can get?

Grouping with droid only should have no effect. If you can get hold of a +120 droid you are very lucky, yes that's the max.

I have tried my droid (+108) post CU and have had bad results. Ungrouped, my droid harvests less than I do. I killed two animals. My droid harvested 58 units, I harvested 65. That is ungrouped. I think the harvest droids are bugged right now.

I noticed the same, my droid is has a 111 rating, but harvests about half of what I can just by myself.

so is it safe to assume this is a bug then?

This should only be happening when you are in a group (with other players). The droids still see the old 40% penalty while in a group with others. If you use it solo you should still get a small increase in harvest as long as its rating is above 80 or so I think. This was duicussed when the new harvest bonuses were brought in but it seems to have been forgotten about since then My droid is going rusty in my datapad.

Here are my findings, I'm level 0/0/04 currently.



Using Normal banthas that are equal to my level.


No Veghash, droid grouped, but not harvesting (I harvested)=198 units


No Veghash, droid grouped and droid harvested=225 units


Veghash, droid grouped, but not harvesting I harvested)=238 units


Veghash, dorid grouped and droid harvested=257 units



Droid is a 115 model and Veghash is +31%.
