Currently I am a novice scout on Tatooine (Chilastra server) trying to get XP and make a buck. I have been hunting any animal I can and gathering resources. I put a few items up for sale in the bazaar, but they have not sold. I read other post, and they make it sound like the thing I have put up for sale should go as quickly as I can put it there. This is not the case however. Did I not wait long enough?


I have noticed the quality might have to do. What animalsharvest what quality resource? Are the animals on tatooine just low quality? Am I harvesting the wrong thing from the wrong animal? I have been taking alot of missions which require destroying dwarf luna lairs. I also am currently hunting gorgs. Any info would be appreciated.

Look at these4 factors -


1) Quality. BEs look for OQ, PE, and FL primarily. Docs look for OQ, and PE (and DR in avian meat). Chefs generally look for OQ, PE, FL, and DR. I have no idea what armorsmiths look for in hide, but if your serious, you should find out. Lower quality stuff will sell, but not at any sort ofpremium. Also, quality changes over time. So Tatooine may be bad on your server now, but next week you might see great herbivore meat. www.swgcraft.com is a good site (great for some servers, not so great for others) for tracking current resource quality.


2) Stack size. People aren't real likely to buy small stacks. Generally stacks of 100 or more will sell though. Really large stacks can get a nice premium since they can produce a full factory run. Unfortunately, really large stacks can't be sold on the bazaar. Regardless, it is often a good strategy to hold onto any current shift resources (letting the stack build) and only sell it after a new resource shifts in to replace it.


3) Cost. The bestanimal resourceshave been known to go for 100 cpu and more. Most go for far less. If you want to almost guarantee a sale, sell for 3 to 5 cpu. A stack of 100 units low-quality meat will sell on the bazaar for 300 credits (though it might take a few days). It probably won't sell for 800 credits (though you never know). If your only sell through the bazaar, it is sometimes better to price low to generate a quick sale.


4) Location. Stuff sells faster on the busiest bazaars. On most servers, that probably means Coronet or Theed. Your animal resource isn't likely to sell on Endor, because the people most likely to purchase it don't go to Endor.

go to www.swgcraft.com and look at the resoucre lists. look for things that have high Overall Quality, and get about 100 units at your current level and sell them on the bazaar for like 10 cpu, if they sell within a day, get 100 more and sell for 15 cpu, just raise your prices till people really aren't buying and go down a few cpu and you will roll in the creds. right now talusian animal bones are at about 853 OQ and leathery hide from sharnaffs is at about 923 OQ and insect meat form talus is about 788 right now and talusian leathery hide is in the 800's so get that stuff and stock pile it. then go over to corellia where tons of people are and sell that stuff.

Armorsmiths look for OQ/SR.

Most aspiring docs/medics grind in the coronet or theed medical center. Put the highest quality meat you can find easily and in large quantitiesin the bazaar's close by there1k stacks usually sells.Most docs/medic they make stims while they grind away on tumblers.



Also if you have access to a factory, make a runs of small and multi-person camps using up bone/hide. Most people will buy a factory crate of camps to have in an emergency. These probably sell best on Dant/endor in the most frequently flown in starport.

There are 5 requirements for Armor: OQ SR UT Mall and DR, normally in that order of importance to the Armorsmith in question. OQ is always 50% of the equation, with one of the others adding the other 50%. Good resources will have a combined number of 1700 or above, i.e. OQ + SR = 1700+


Some named resources are required, such as Yavinian Wooly hide (Mamiens have this) for advanced Padded segments and Dantooine bone for advanced Chitin, and good money can be made when these resources spawn with good stats...


SWGCraft is an excellent website for finding out who uses what so you can tailor your hunting trips towards a specific resource goal...

Animal resources will change over time, so choose examine on the radial menu of the meat/hide/bone you harvested. There should be at least one stat over 800. If not, it is no good.
