Ok I am now into Scout. I want to explore more possiblitys in this game then just the Artisan profession. The thing that I am having trouble with is knowing when the organic resources shift in and out. Untill I started Scout I had no clue that the resources shifted (yes I know that sounds stupid considering I've been playing for around 200 days) and I need to know how I can figure out when the resources shift so I can get the good stuff before its gone.
Thx for your help!!!

Well, when the resources are shifing,you'll get a message like "this creature has no intact resouces you can harvest". also, check your inventory. If you've been hunting the same avian meat for a week, and then you see two stacks of avian in your inventory, that means the resource "shifted". Basically, there isn't atell-tale sign, so you have to check. Using sites like SWGcreatures.com also helps, since they regularly update their info. That's basically it. There isn't a given timeframe for resources. I've seen three week shifts and I've seen shifts that didn't even last a full day. It really is fairly random.

Organic resources shift based upon a number of variables. The followingrules are not all inclusive, but contains many of the variables -
Good shift more quickly than bad, unless no one is harvesting, like Tat avian.
The more good stats, the quicker the shift, unless the pizza the Devs got last week was hot, then it may stay longer, unless the Pepsi was also warm.
The easier it is to harvest, the quicker the shift.
Resources with shorter names that you can almost say shift quickly, unless the devs named it after a friend and/or loved one (does anyone really like programmers??) which would increase the time the resource is in the game so the people can brag about it.
What phase is the moon in?
What day did the shift start, and how many white cars passed the programmer on the way to work that day.
Did you walk to school or did you carry your lunch.
How many pancakes does it take to shingle a dog house.
You get the idea.
We never know, until we get the sickly, scrawny, falling down dead you did it a favor by killing it, message.
But also realize, the same sickly animal which is giving less meat, gives a healthy fat message when you harvest hide.
Rule of thumb, get it while you can.
Have fun, and realize, we can't experiment on but one thing, and that's in Ranger.

you can make this into a mini eventfor some of your newer guildmembers.
Send them out to"scout out"specific types of resources every once in a while and tack em down on the ole notepad.
if you have extra time help out some of theSWG resource news sites by updatingthem.
