Hey folks. Just took up the WS profession due to a guild mate leaving me his toon. He is only set up to do grenades now, so I'm desperatly trying to fix the problem I have with a lack of resources.
I currentlly have 2 of the 30k resource kits, and I'm wondering what I should use them on. I plan on becoming a full line smith, so I'll be making everything once I have the resources.
Any help you all could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Main thing is dont be quick to use them, spend some time doing research and make a list of all the best of each resource. Find out whats available on vendors and go from there. www.swgcraft.com is an excellent site to aid in this. You want to be sure you get the rarest resource that will make the highest impact on the end product.

Also, you may want to wait until after the CURB comes out, because the new weapons that we will be able to make could require resources that we have never used before and therefor nobody has stockpiles of.

Thanks. I hadn't planned on getting in a hurry, thats for sure. I've just bought a +10 exp sash to help me out, so this places me at +15 now. So I'm trying to make an effort to doing this regularly. I'm looking at using these to make some higher end things like geo weapons, de-10s, scythes, etc. So I was curious as to what I should get. But thanks for the info, I appreciate it!

It's difficult to say exactly because you need to do some research and find out what the best resources to spawn are. Even then you only get 30k of a resource .. you might do better selling the kit and buying a wider range of resources from the cash you generate.
Obviously WS needs a lot of resources to run and it's no use having 30k of the best ever(say) Diatium Steel if you don't have good Polonium Iron or good resources to make ABPH etc etc

Good point. Of course that exact combo was what I was thinking about. Maybe getting one crate of each for that exact thing. So you think it would still be better to sell them both and then just buy lower grade resources to get more total resources?

Sit on them.
Wait for CURB.
That way you will be able to select the BEST mat ever for the new weapons that come out.

I think the point was that you could get more money for the kit than you would spendon even the best WS resources, since Doc's pay much higher prices for meat than ws do for their resources. That said, you should first find out what werethe top 3 spawns for each named resource on your server, then hunt down as many of those as you can. Then, when you see that the best-by-a-longshot ryll gemstone or plumbum iron or what-have-you spawned over a year ago, you'll know what you want to use the resource deed on. Murphy's Law will then spawn a new server best for that resource within a month

I'd wait for the curb as well. One thing to look at though is Link-Steel Alum. With only one spawn ever over 900 OQ, you wont make a decent laser rifle or carbine without Dibapasis. Also with 30k of it youd be able to use it for quite a while. Overall though wait for the curb. After that hits you can come buy and I'll look through my stuff to see what is most rare and also used in lowest quantity.
Right now you should have harvesters on the new Titanium Aluminum(375 cond, 995 OQ, DX line), new Dolovite Iron(871 UT, Adv. Sword Cores), and Carbonite Steel(956 SR, Scythe).All three are the best to ever spawn in those categories and they just came in a day or two ago.

IMO instead of buying the +10 exp, you should have spent the cash on resources instead

My point was that 10 mill for instance in resources will help alot more than 1 more point, crap resources + 12 points = crap weapons and good resources + 10 points = good weapons
In WS resources are gods
