Thread: So does the same animal give different 'stat' resources from nest to nest?
Thought I had really lucked out when I started paying attention and discovered Rills on Tat with high value meat (flavor and overall quality). Am under the impression this would benefit in making stimpak A's...
Knocked down 1 nest, very happy with myself, found another nest, knocked them down... hang on a sec, the meat's different! ?
I thought (not sure why - "presumed" is more appropriate) that the resources from 1 batch of rill's would be the same as the next batch... no?
Ter,
Nope - each batch is different. Its kind of like finding resources on a planet. One area may give this quality, another may give different quality, even though its the same ore and in close proximity to each other. Each lair will be different.
Quality is one of those things you can't really control. Generally some creatures will have higher quality than others, but you'll never know for sure what the quality of the lair is until you harvest your first hide.

it's for this reason that it's gonna kill crafting professions such as chef's as the higher and higher food items need larger and larger quantities of high quality food... if the types and quality is so varied good luck in finding a great stack of high quality food in any large amount.
I've been lucky with a few larger creatures having flavor of over 600... but that's still far away from really high quality stuff... :/
(it's ironic that I posted something on this similar subject prior to reading this.. heh)
From what I have observered....
Each planet will have its own type of Meat/Hide/Bone. On a planet you will find one or two types of each Hide/Bone/Meat. Usualy there will be only one (ie like one type of Rori Leathery Hide) at a time. But you will get two types. When there are two types, it is completely random between each kill. So you kill on Rill, you get one type of Scaley Hide, you kill the Rill next to it you get the other.
Like all resources, a particular type of Meat/Hide/Bone will exist for about a week before it changes.
At worse, I have only seen two types at one time.
As for Bulk Harvesting....With a few boxes of an Elite Combat profession and Ranger IV Hunting, I pulled 2500 wooley hides in about a half hour, bouncing between two nicely situatated nests.
