Cross-trade post I thought you shipwrights would enjoy:


SOE in their infinite wisdom (read by crafters as"sick sense of humor"), has spawned Fermionic Siliclastic Ore for the 2nd cycle in a row on Eclipse/Dathomir -- a CL 80 planet, virtually inaccessible to archies, shipwrights, and anyone else who needs to place their harvies on rich ore deposits.

Oh please!!!!!! I have a lvl 1 combat crafter, and I have no problem travelling around on Dathommir. You know why? 'Cause I know what I'm doing. I mean, if you're careless and run straight through a bunch of red level 80's then you deserve whatever happens to you.


Or you could always level up a little bit in a combat profession, it's not like a dev is holding a blaster to you forcing you to be a pure crafter......


Or here's another idea!!!!! Hire some protection..... I mean this is an MMORPG, this game is all about class interaction and if you need a combat player to help you get to where you need to go then so be it.


Why do people like you play video games anyway? You don't like challenges, you don't like interacting with others to get things done, and you blame the developer when the game isn't like some other game you may have played that was completely different. GO PLAY MARIO NOOB!!!!!!

I can place harvs on Dathomir if I have to, but it's not my favourite thing to do. Put the radar at 256m, use the overhead map, and drive carefully. Being able to survey and drop harvesters while mounted is also a plus.

Now, if there are Rancors camping that 96% concentration, that's another problem altogether.

You have so many alternatives:


  • Group withone or more friendsthat has a high-level combat rating and have them serve as bodyguards.

  • Be really, really careful. it is possible. However, should you be killed, what is the big deal? Do you have anything important that's going to decay--leave it at the shop!

  • Have friends do your surveying and harvesting.

  • Create an alt to do your surveying and harvesting.

  • Buy a pet or droid to guard you.

  • Quit?

Heh-heh. No harm, no foul!


You guys actually gave me some good ideas (grouping, etc...). I just have to cross my fingers I can find someone willing to for as long as I need to make a harvie-run.


I am CL 40, but those rancors still hit pretty hard!!!

heh, Im a newb as SW, but an old smuggler.


I have not tried it yet, but I'm hoping I can run away then Feign death out of aggro range.


Anyone else tried this? I am master smuggler, but really cant take on the CL80's LOL, so im hopingI can still mine alone with my handy pistols and Feign Death.

All the caution in the world is not gonna stop ya from getting one-shotted off your bike as a level-1 every once in a while, and its not as much surveying as trying to drop harvestors with agros everywhere.


Sure theres ways around it, but its tough to accept them when we were all used to being able to wear armor and take a few hits.. itd be a nice token from the devs to give us something to allievate this.

How about a vehicle that protects a player from agros? Thatd be nice

I love the idea of a vehicle that protects against danger! I would put much more support behind this idea than giving combat levels to non combat characters.

Make it usable only by CL1 and I love this idea. Something just for the pure crafters so you don't see CL80 folk and Jedi hopping in it to hide out.
