Advice: Get familiar with all the resources you'll need further along in the profession... there's a post in this forum and a website somewhere that summarise this info, do a search and find it. E.g. if you're going to be making loads of firearms you'll need to know that Advanced Power Handlers require:

10 units of Polymer

5 units of Diatium Copper

5 units of Ostrine Carbonate Ore

8 units of Phrik Aluminum

16 units of Irolunn Reactive Gas

What I did instead: I was talking to a weaponsmith on my server yesterday and found I'd missed a spawn of Irolunn Reactive gas with a really decent OQ - and which was never entered on SWGCraft.com (where I look to see what's what!). Kicking myself... the other weaponsmiths must have been sucking this stuff up from the ground like there was no tomorrow.

Conclusion: Ah well. Gotta learn somehow.

Crap-0-la I hate missing good resources, I check swgcraft daily but also check my tools for stuff not listed there, missed that one. Only been Weaponsmith for about a month though. Finally could afford some medium harvesters at last, and am getting some ok stuff, nothing great so far, but swgcraft also has on the forums there a list of the min and max stats for resources, and you would be surprised at the stats. Some stuff you would think was crap is actually some of the best that you can get and you didn't even know it.

The main thing you need is networking. I am close friends with a couple smiths as well as several major miners. Usually when something spawns I get a nice heads up usually before it hits Swgcraft.

Aye, I guess in time I'll start building up a network of friends, competitors, etc etc. Would be nice to find the odd "Hey, there's an awesome spawn of Plumbum Iron at waypoint X Y thought you'd like to know!" in my mailbox in addition to all the "Your DL44 Pistol has sold to UtterlyNewAndConfused for less money than it cost to maintain your vendor!" mails

Yeah I was surprised with some of the stat caps too. I had always thought that my OQ 900 and CD 112 Plumbum Iron was really bad because of the CD until I found out that it's about as high as it gets.

Maybe you should organize a group of smiths on your servers who each agree to update one planet every day on SWGCraft?

Nothing gets by Bria without making it on the site.
