Weaponsmith Archive

Okay, this is ticking me off now. This is 3rd time I've tried to post this. Apparently, this blasted board hates to have something copied and pasted from a MS Word document. And I am NOT typing this list out again. If you want it, you can go to here and get the uploaded .doc file. It's made with MS Word 2002.

http://www.frontiernet.net/~seank/Weaponsmithing_resources.doc" target=_blank>www.frontiernet.net/~seank/Weaponsmithing_resources.doc

What is it? It's a listing of all the resource types needed in weaponsmithing. A rather long list actually.

Why do you want it? Because resources in the game are not a set thing. From week to week you'll find totally different resources. Some resources last a week or so, some can only last a few days. And many times you won't see them again for a month or more. So it's best to start collecting these minerals NOW and not when you want to build that Laser Rifle or that T21 rifle or whatever.

Why do I care? Honestly, I don't, you can use it or not. I was nicer in my post the first 2 times I typed it all out, but now I'm sick of looking at these boards, so sorry if I sound gruff. I just personally know what's it like to finally get the schematic for that nice big gun, only to find it wants some wierd sounding metal I never thought to collect (because the rare metals tend to have the absolute WORST stats, especially conductivity on irons and steels).

Anyway, enjoy, print it out, read it, use it for toilet paper, I don't care. And if this board gives me one more error, I swear I'm gonna kill something.

2nd attempt-(cat is now dead, btw)

3rd attempt-(cat's soul is being tortured by evil Lithium devils!)

4th attempt-(begins to practice Voodoo on the person who made this board)

5th attempt-(summoning forth the legions of hell to destroy this message board server)

6th attempt-(Cthulu awaken and please kill me!)

Nicely done, many thanks. I had intended to write most of this down before beta ended, but then they jacked the xp right before I made Expert Firearms.

And on an interesting side note, when I first created my character today, picked Bloodfin, since I was supposed to meet some friends there...When I got in they weren't on, so I checked out the resource situation on Naboo, and was amazed and ecstaticto see a bunch of the resources that I could never find during beta. Played for about an hour, then realized why my friends weren't on. For some reason it had created me on Kauri, even though I'd selectedBloodfin.

Dirty teases...

Just a side note, from what I've seen thus far folks resources are different from server to server. During beta I started on Bria and did a relatively completely resource survey, meaning I got samples of everything I could find using all the different tools on all the different planets over the course of three resource resets. I then moved to the Bloodfin server when it opened only to find that none of the stuff I had sampled during my venture on Bria existed, it was all different, even the organics harvested from dead critters had different names and statistics than they had on Bria despite the fact that those seemed to carry over through resources resets.

I am now playing on Chilastra and have found that again, none of the stuff that I had found on Bria or Bloodfin exists, or doesn't seem to. It's harder to get to different planets now, but.

Anyway, doesn't matter that much in terms of what you need when saying 'Plumbum Iron', but for those of us that spent time catalouging the actual statistics of various resource types, it's kind of a pain in the butt. It's also something to keep in mind when perusing databases of resources that don't have them seperated by server since you may decide you want to hold out for that 999 conductivity/999 overall quality copper that looks just scrumptious for making CDEF pistols or something silly only to find that it won't ever spawn on your server.

I hope you realize you're not alone on this.

I'll give u an example, doctors:

water
seeds
tubers
berries
fiberplast
polymer
flora
fruit
gas
reactive gas
inert gas
seafood
flowers
avian meat

Ofcourse, that list doesn't include any advance component ingredients... I don't have a list of them but there's 8 specific ones.. Like Dantooine Berries, Talusian water, some Endorianmeat, and 5 others that mostly require resources from newer planets and some must be harvested off mobs.

Not to mention combat medics, along the same line but with even more subcomponents.

At least you could go anywhere to sample, doctors HAVE to pick up combat skills just to harvest those rare meat since no one else does, not to mention having to go to SPECIFIC planets, while we don't.

Be glad that none of your weapons require Lokian AvianBone which can only be dropped of an instand death mob =P

Doctors don't need combat skills you just need to get some cash together and hire somebody to go get the stuff for you. Or even better when you see a hunting group forming for Lok you go join them and trade heals for whatever resources you need. I guarantee they will load you down with resources for healing support.

Might I remind you that weaponsmiths are just about 2000 times richer than an average doc

Weaponsmiths can just buy the own resources, then. My point is that other classes needs just as many if not more specific materials.

Very Nice!

Have you considered entering the resources you find into the database at www.swgcenter.com? Not only could help build a complete list but you will get paid for your efforts as well!

I just post for the players, I don'tdo work with the gaming sites.

you can take link-steel aluminumoff the list as it seems to be in circulation again, I've got quite a bit of very high OQ link-steel aluminum if anyone want some...

- Barricade, Farstar

Just a couple modifications if you want to update your word doc. Flamethrowers no longer require Class 3 Liquid Petro Fuel, just Liquid Petro Fuel in general. You also don't need Kerol-Fire Gems or Seafah Gems, and there is a schematic that does call for Byrothsis gems that you might want to add. Nice work though.

when www.swgcraft.com gets back online use that and post there too its was/is the best site for monitoring resources on your relevant server!

I keep getting a page not found error. This thing still around somewhere?

LOL just FYI this is weaponsmith board, not Farstar's, in a thread about general resources needed for weaponsmithing, not your own, so we'll still need link-steel in the list that you have some or not on your server or in your bank

to the poster, you need to update it since no heavy weapons longer require specific resources, cubirian steel, bronzium iron and as someone just said class 3 liquid petro are out of WS schematics now, and the schematic that requires byrothsis is stun baton's
