Hey everyone,
Noob question here from a novice scout who's just approaching level 4 skills. Took an explorer mission with no specific waypoint given. I'm supposed to collect 45 Diseased Vrelt pelts. Found many of them and am successful at killing and harvesting, but don't seem to be fulfilling the mission requirements. This is on Corellia, btw - just outside coronet.
I notice in my datapad that the icon for the mission has a number (o) in the upper right corner. How am I supposed to take the pelts? I harvest for hide and have collected general hides in my inventory, but they mix with other hides from other creatures.
Curious if there is another way. Looting seems not to help. Out of options.
Please advise, thanks.

I believe that you need to kill 45 of the little buggers to complete the mission. Number of hides you collect isnt important.

Ok. You have to kill 45 diseased vrelts in order to fulfill the mission. Not vrelts, not diseased vrelts with shingles, not vrelts who look mangy. Just "diseased vrelts".
When you kill one, you will, or should, get a message saying - you have X number left to fulfill your mission - or words to that effect. Once you get 45 or down to 0, you get paid.
Check the mission wording for the exact type of vrelts you are spozed to be killing. I see missions for bull tortuns. Not tortuns, not meager tortuns, "bull tortuns". Kill the other types, it does not count. Same deal with your mission. Only one particular type counts.
Dumb huh?
Explorer missions are a waste of time. I would abort this mess and go on with regular missions. By the time you futz around and find 45 diseased left handed vrelts with green eyes, you could have done 15 other missions and got more money and xp.

it USED to be that you could roll a new toon, fly to keren, and do laps around the starport with 2 missions: flesh-eating chubas and capper spineflaps.
a couple laps, and you had credits rolling in and some basic skills trained.
since then, they've removed these creatures from explore terminals (at least... I haven't seen them on the terminals in months), breaking the deal.
however: some players have had success with taking ONE explore mission for a critter-type... and a destroy lair mission for the same critter... repeating the destroy missions until the explore mission is created.
as was mentioned before, though... it's usually faster and more profitable (in creds and xp) to run destroy missions.

Ok thanks - I might bail on this one. THought it'd be good since it pays over 6000c and I could mask, camp, trap, and build pistol xp during the whole mission. But yes, finding the exact "diseased vrelt" is frustrating. Thanks for the responses.
Another question for any of you from Tatooine...
How can you correct negative faction points with Jabba the Hutt? Taking general missions to kill Valarians? I take destroy missions from Bib Fortuna but that doesn't seem to do anything. Can't really take bounty missions just yet. Anyway, I want to get into the palace but lowered my faction standing cuz I had to defend myself from aggroed guards.
thanx

Kill Valarians to get better Jabba faction.Go to the city close to Jabbas and see if you can get missions for them. Failing that, find the random spawn and lay waste. Ignore the names on the mission terminals, they are for show. On Talus you get one Bin pirate mission that says you are helping Jabba, and the next says you are taking a bite outta Jabba's empire by killing the same type of guys.
The descriptions off the term are fun grins and giggles. I look at how much I get paid and what the target is. After than, I don't read anything. Too many typos and stupid stories.
