Hi all
Hope this is the right forum to ask in. Can anyone please tell me which creature/s give orig bone on Tatooine? I have about 900 of it, but all i seem to get now is nochint.

Wyrm,
The name you are looking at is a "serial code" of sorts for the resource you harvested. The resources change over time in what are called "shifts." If you look you will also find a resource type, like avian bone or animal bone. That type stays the same no matter what, but the resource name such as orig or nochint will change per shift. If you look at the stats of the resource (Overall Quality, Potential Energy, etc.) you will see that they are different as well.
Basically once a resource shifts out you will never see it again. You will never be able to gather any more of the orig bone. That is why people go crazy to gather as much of a resource that has good stats as they can before the resource "shifts out."
It's a bit confusing - hope that made sense to you.

Yep, and they're server specific too, so just because its orig on your server doesn't mean it is on any other .

yes. every resource in this game is constantly undergoing these "shifts" It usually occurs every 1-2 weeks, though some shifts can last as little as a few hours(though this is rare).
So when you hear a Ranger talking about a good shift of Endor wooly, it means that there was a good type of wooly hide on for a while.
Bone, meat, hide, metal, water, and every resource in this game is succeptible to change. this is to enusure that people don't "camp" high concentrations of minerals and such.

Actually I think the question was does every resource shift at the same time and no, I don't think it does. Bristley hide can shift but animal bone can stay the same. There is also no telling how loing a shift will lkast exactly. Some are there for days, some are there for weeks.

You can also use www.swgcreatures.com to find out what critters give what kinds of hide/meat/bone. And www.swgcraft.com keeps a database of "current" stats on resource names and values. One caveat, swgcraft.com is only as good as its contributors. Depending on your server there may be many contributing or none. I used to try and be moderately involved in keeping Tarquinas up to speed, but after a computer meltdown I haven't been back in months... but will be soon
