Scout Archive

Well the title says it all really. Its really annoying though I do get my xp o_0. The weird thing is though that its not happening with all creatures, right know I am not getting anything from most creatures cept desised bocatts, but the rest aint giving me resources :-(. Devs fix it fast plz!

Ps, dun really know if this is the right forum but its scout related anyways.

Do you have special harvest macro keys setup to harvest a particular type of resource like /harvest bone?

If you do and you use it on a creature that doesn't have that type of resource, it blows harvesting for that body. I did /bug report on it, you might want to also. That's a big pain. So if you're killing a new creature type, always do a harvest with the radial menu first so you can see what type of resources are harvestable from them.

Another thing that can happen is if 2 creatures are fighting each other and one kills the other. If you attack the surviving one and don't do more damage than it got in it's previous fight, you won't be able to harvest from it. Once again, /bug report it.

And a 3rd thing, if you're fighting a creature and someone else jumps into the fight you're not grouped with, that blows your harvest off the creature too. Very annoying.

so is there a general rule there? if another mob or fellow adventurer does ANY damage to your target, they screw you out of harvesting? or is it who strikes the first blow? or perhaps who does the most damage? haven't quite figured that one out yet...

Well it cant be any of those options, I'm the only one around when I killed em and I dont use macros. Its very weird cause now I am getting resuorces again from the same kind of creature I wasnt before o_0.

Also, its not that I dont get to harvest, I can harvest just fine. Its just that I dont get the resources when I do. I get the xp, just not the stuff.

If you already have a stack of resources from the same critter (Insect Meat, Avian Bones, Scaley Hide, etc) then when you /harvest,it will add to your existing stack, not create a new stack.

Check the numbers (size of the stacks) before and after and make sure it's not just adding to what you have.

Of course, if you craft traps/camps between kills you'll use up some of your items as well.

Its not that either, trust me I'm just not getting any resources :-( and its not also a none update bug cause when I find a creature that does give me resources the number increase like they should.

Isnt anybody else running into this problem?

I had this problem when I foughta creature with diminished skills. It had obviously been in an earlier fight. Whoever does the most damage gets the harvest.

This problem also occurs when in large groups. Apparently, when a creature is deemed too easy, you can't harvest it. So the larger the group, the harder the animal must be to kill. This is most definitely a bug because group size should not affect harvesting ability. Or perhaps someone else harvested it, and you did not get the group message. For that matter, group messages have been a little bit messed up since the last update.

Another time I had this problem where about every other animal would just not be harvestable. I was the only one to fight the animal every time, but I could not harvest it. This may have been due to lag or it may have been a bug. However, this last type has not happened since the July 1st update. Just because they did not log it, does not mean they didn't fix it. They're fixing a lot of bugs, and it is quite tedious to log every single little thing they fix. As a programmer, I understand.

sorry. i misread your issue. if i understand you correctly, you are able to select harvest either from a function key or from the radial menu, you get XP but 0 resources... my problem was that i would kill a critter and then not be able to even select that i wanted to harvest. sorry to muddy your thread!

Hmm, well I wasnt in a group, and nobody cuold have attacked em earlier because they spawed from my missions lair.

But I think it might be getting triggered by trying to throw a trap when u are out of range. I was just 5 mins ago trying to kill a nest of bocats and the first ones I killed and harvested where fine I got my stuff and all. Then I tried to kill one but I threw my trap when I was to far away (>50m). I tried peace but I couldnt get out of combat mode (/bug'ed that one as well). Then I just killed it and went on killing more. Then I checked my inv to build some more traps thats when I noticed I had way to few resources again so I killed some more and noticed I was not getting any stuff again.

So maybe the trap throwing thingie has something to do with it..

My problem is that when I kill multiple animals at the same time (for example, 3 mobs attack me), I can only harvest from the last one I killed. Anyone have this problem?
