can anyone confirm a mustafar resource actually despawning?


tarq has its second round of spawns, and the previous stuff is still there and able to be sampled.

Hrm, well lets say you're using a 500W PSU for your PC. in 5 hours thats about 2.5kwh. In UK it costs about 10p/kwh. So you just spent 25p of electricity. On ebay you can buy credits for around 1m/£, so therefore you kinda just earnt about 80k not 330

a 500w psu doesn't mean you are using all of the 500 i think

From the tailor forums, i dont believe the surveying clothing has any effect whatsoever and is on the list of broken BE mods for us.

Yet you spend time to set yourself up on a god-forsaken planet surveying for a resource because some lazy ass yank decided that it was a good enough incentive to get £15 off me?

Yes I'm cranky.

When i was grinding artisan almost a year ago. I just started surveying in a high spot, and went off to watch T.V. i would check up on it every now and then to get rid of a pesky box. took about 6-7 hours, and i ended up with 1k of resources. SO if you set your toon harvesting, and just do what i did for the normal time it takes a resource to spawn then despawn (10days avg.) im guessing that the most possible amount you can get will be around 20k.

In 12 hours on a 79% spot of iron, I pulled about 5500 units. So it's possible to get a resource kit's worth of stuff if you're willing to put up with the hassle for a few days. Of course, you have to lucky to find a safe spot with a high concentration. The wise thing would be to expect to find yourself dead when you get back.

Thanks, Greedok, i kinda figured that



And as for the power, I'm surveying in the background on my laptop at work....so:



  • grand total of electricity expense= Nil!

  • risk of decay...i guess I might have to replace my Hawtpants after 50 deaths (would probably be a good idea, they get pretty gamey out in the heat on Mustafar)

  • and not sure how to figure the $30 vs. quantity of resources....credits are selling for $2/mil....that's $10 for a resource crate...About $0.80 per 2k (5 hrs)...so need about 60 hrs worth of surveying to equal the dollar cost of a 30k resource deed....but only come out with 16k resources after 60 hrs surveying...mind you, this is all done while I'm asleep or at work.
