...what it means is that your server is going through a resource turnover.

Just like all the metal and artisan harvestable matierals on a server, resources on creatures turnover too. That's why you don't always get the same overall quality on the creatures that you kill. One day you may get great meat, the next day its crappy - because the resources shifted.

So don't fret - the turnovers generally take no more than 12 hours, and they generally only affected one of the three types of harvestable materials. So if you're getting skinny meat, try hide or bone until the resources are done shifting.

Hope this answers this question now for everyone with issues!

OK great thx. I was wondering what the heck was happening on lok yesterday. The avian meat was only dropping 1. Thanks for clarification.

But it is still odd to see a grbber glutton described as skinny. Or a fat and healthy diseased vrelt.

A grubber glutton even

Thanks, Brisc. I was wondering what was going on. I was killing mob's from the same nest, and one would be "skinny", the next would be "fat and healthy". Now I know why...because I was harvesting different resources off each one. Leathery hides (on the skinny one) were being shifted.

Gotcha Good job finding out about this.

I'm just a novice scout getting hides for my friend but well, I killed 4 squalls from a pack and 2 were described as fat and healthy and 2 were described as medium sized so I have a doubt it's with resource shift, the same as mineral resource % doesnt decrease before shifting, it's the same and suddenly it's gone so imo it's more like random, anyway it was just my 2 cents

I also seem to consistently get 1 resource harvests fromdungeons like the borgle or pygmy torton caves. I killed a pygmy torton outside the cave and got a harvest of 24 units of bone. Inside, all i got was1 for that and all other creature variations. Are resource harvests in caves bugged too?

Just to Follow up what Minuteman said I was on Yavin 4 in the Fighting Dark Klikniks Now the ones Outside I had no Problems Harvesting anywhere from 30-92 hides depending, Same with Bone and Meats...

Now.. we went inside the Temple the same Dark Klikniks now I can only harvest 1 of anything... I bugged this so Did hte other Scouts that were with me.. htis was all On the valcyn server.

Same deal with Squills on Tatooine.

Kill one of one type of Squill outside the squill cave and get a 'normal' harvest.

Anything inside the cave will only give 1 of any resource.

Perhaps this is just a way to stop people harvesting mass quantities when a creature is giving some kind of "good" harvest?

Thank you so much, now i understand why i always get 1 bone from animals...

I was going crazy

Ciap

Thanks for letting us know about this, however I have been to squill cave 3 days running on tat and u only harvest 1 of anything (hid, bone, meat) I presume this is a bug.

Railop

most (all?) caves seem to be givin 1 unit harvests and have for a long time . just enjoy the xp here but do nt count on lots o hrvest resources. d'oh

on another note there have been times when ive welcomed 1 unit skinny harvests... like when my inventory is really full after long trips away from the home. if you noticed you still ge the full xp just the 1 unit loot. so at 99% inv you can loot for a while getting full scout xp wihtout the xtra room being put into your inventory.

see a bright side to everything!!

spell check? punctuation? a jedi craves not these things!!

Guys,

Finally! I can post again. **edit** IE. Had to download Mozilla.

Okay - they issue with caves is known. From what I understand, this was designed to keep us from camping in the caves and the warren. So it's not a bug, its as designed.
