Belle Bol also give it and a decent amount per critter. The missions are about level 40. Basically, with me only master pistoleer I am not able to pull a mission above 25, and thus can't get missions for Naboo herb meat at all. I posted about this kind of problem a while back, about how we need either the /track skill to spawn stuff for us, or be able to get any level mission we want from a term. The only way I was able to get missions for belle bol was grouped with at least one other person.
Last night I discovered this trick - it requires an alt (but apparently one without combat skills - my alt has none) and two uber r3 combat droids. I formed a group with my alt and his droid and I parked them by the mission terminal. Then I would join the group and call my droid and group it. With my my alt and our two droids grouped, I could pull level 33 missions, which meant that I could get bol missions. Also, level 25 missions at level 33 have more creatures in them, so I could now pull level 33 gualama missions (which have more guals. in them).
I know of another master (well former) ranger who dropped all but the tracking tree so he could pick up enough of CH to get pets to group and raise his mission levels.
But yep - it pretty much sucks to have to go to these lengths to get missions for things that we need to harvest. We get hit really hard when uber resources spawn on a planet, because then the planet gets flooded with players looking to harvest the uber stuff (and who can blame them) and as a consequence the planet's natural spawns dry up. So if we are going to harvest anything at all, we have to turn to mission terminals to find critters, but if we can't get our combat level up high enough to get missions for the creatures we are seeking, andwe're pretty much screwed.
Yes, we could join a solo group, but then we get hit by the 40% harvesting reduction because we're grouped, and a lot of solo group leaders don't understand why we should want to join and leave the group for each round of missions.
I know this has been posted many times over, but it would be really nice if we got some sort of mission bonus at master ranger level so that we could pull higher level missions for ourselves or our groups. I realize that this might be a little controversial though, esp. when it comes to higher-level mission payouts (ie., devs. don't want people solo'ing high level missions because they don't want people making 40k credits per mission). Of course, on my server, solo groups are increasingly becommingthe norm -- every n00b I know knows how to join a solo group and make 40k credits per mission....
