xordevoreaux Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 https://i.imgur.com/K0p5ovb.png Is this because I'm not high enough level of a harvester? (I'm level 70 adventurer). I have slicing, archeology, and scavenging, but nothing is coming up for archeology for me on Onderon (on this toon) except the above. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xordevoreaux Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 I went to the Endless Swamp on Zakuul and I'm getting archeology items, so I'm taking it to mean because I'm < 600 in archeology skill and haven't paid for my over-priced archeology skill yet to get me to 700 that I'm getting random crap on Onderon.

Percilator Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 When you hover your mouse over the node, it will say "Requires Archaeology (600)". If your skill is below that level (I see yours is 345 in the screenshot), you will only get Jawa Scrap, which is better (for you) than just not being able to harvest it. That's how it used to be, if your skill level was below the level required, you couldn't harvest it at all. If there are other people trying to harvest in the area, you're kinda wasting the node and not getting anything really useful other than skill level increases. You'd be better off harvesting in a lower level area to increase your skill while getting useful (but old) mats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I thought find, I'll just go find 550, that should get me to 600. So I went to Ossus, which is 550. Gray. So for my last 20 points, I'm on Onderon getting crap, unless there's another 600+ planet I can get crap on.

Tohmas Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I discovered the grey issue, too. It appears that with 600-700, the open world harvesting nodes are not sufficient to get you all the way to 700. I too capped at 680 this way and had to run archaeology missions to get to 700.

That is normal. Last expansion it was the same for Gathering skills. Had to send out companions for the last 20 or so points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 That's how it used to be, if your skill level was below the level required, you couldn't harvest it at all. I remember that time, but it hasn't been like *that* for a good long while, at least as long ago as 4.0 if memory serves, and *that* was four years ago.
