The blue buffs indicate range and simultaneously give you a smaller, more accurate directional window.

Maybe 1 in 10 or so trails either go cold or end with digging a creature up. Just move on.

It couldn't find a poorly RPed Jedi on Tython?
I'll tell you what, then. Why don't you call me some time when you have no class?

Is this a complaint or compliment thread OP? Can't tell since it's a time-sink type of QL after all.

Let me tell ya, my seeker droid is such a time-sink, I renamed it Casio Kohler.

Every time I start it up it says it's on break. This droid has no respect, I get no respect from it. Just last night I turn it on and it goes and finds HK 51 and says it's leaving me. Ah, I get no respect, not even from a droid!

I dont have a particular issue finding stuff.

What I do find infuriating tho is the "special treasure" in the area being a worthless purple enhancement. Really BW? Really?

They sell for 30k - 80k depending on the enhancement. Not totally worthless.

On my server they are definitely more on the 30k side and I don't consider that a 'special treasure'. A 30 or 31 mod level enhancement would be a special treasure but a 28 level one that you get free anyway from the Makeb Staged weekly and is cheap on the GTN to me is not something worth potentially digging for hours to get and then exhausting the dig site. Nor do I think it is on par with other 'special treasure' you can get like the pleasure speeder parts or even the purple 55 level roll box.

  3. Start by dropping a Seeker Droid on a 'root-like' structure. If you dig up the seed, move on to the next planet.
  4. If you don't find the seed, look at the triangulation graphic around you after the seeker returns:
  • RED = You are way off, so move at least 30 meters before using the Seeker again.
  • PARTIALLY GREEN = Turn in the direction of the 'Green', move forward 10-20m, and drop another seeker droid.
  • Lather, Rinse, Repeat as needed. Try to remember the last couple of results when adjusting your position (e.g. if your second scans points you back the way you came, drop the next one between your previous two dig sites)

Seriously, I'm not finished with the missions yet, but the planets I've done so far have gone pretty quick (Travel time to and from the sites almost certainly exceeds actual dig time by a good margin).
Thank you very much, finally found a seed on this quest using this info.
