Please don't think the answer to this post is that DUH?!? I have aquired all the materials I will need as a MWS. I am not holo-grinding. I am not just grinding to hit master iether. But I do want to know which resources are rare, and medium-rare. Having trouble locating ostrine carbonate ore for adv. blaster handlers. little help as to which are actually rare.

this is really a question for yer particular server, as what may be rare for me on eclipse may not be as hard ta find on yer server, i would look for other smiths on yer server to find out what has been rolling around as resources lately.

Sorry, but the answer to this is 100% server specific.

Also, its not just a matter of gathering the specific resources, its a matter of getting the BEST of that resource thats spawned. On bloodfin, there has been 1 good spawn of each specific resource since launch, you could try your trade forums to see if anyone is selling old uber resources, if not, its gonna take you months to get decent resources to make weapons.

Well first off resources are a random spawn it seems that they are supposed to spawn so many times in a given period. So for example skevon may not have spawned for three months. Then it spawns three weeks in a row in different varieties. Do not get disheartened though. Sometimes you can make up for poor specific resources with good general ones. Keep in mind that the overwhelming number of weaponsmiths come and go. So there are alot of people in the same boat as you.


Good resources you should keep an eye out for are as follows atleast these are high in my book


Polysteel copper this usually has a very high conductivity rarely below nine hundred. This is good for weapons like dh17s


Duralloy steel a ferous metal usually has a good shock resistance too it almost always overnine hundred. This is good for melee weapons that will allow a ferous generic metal.


Linksteel aluminum usually has good qualities across the board and one outstanding stat.


Phrik aluminum when ever this is in spawn check it out.


Kammris Iron always seems to have a good shock resist unit toughness.


Until you get the stuff to make advanced blaster power handlers. Focus on melee weapons. Especially knucklers even a bad knuckler will sell at the right price. Resources are server specific but some resources have rock solid base stats that they never seem to go below or above. If you pay attention you will realize that there are some weapons you can make just as well as an established weaponsmith.


I hope this helps
