Ability Breakdown & Details

Sampling is the starting means for crafters to obtain resources in SWG. Samples can be taken every 18 seconds and have varying yields depending on survey skill, resource concentration and whether or not a survey event occurs. The survey skill modifier controls the yields for each sample as well as having an effect on the number of resource concentration spots availible to the player.

Survey events are random occurances which allow the player to recieve a larger than average sample of resource if they are able to obtain it. These events pause the players current actions and come in two types. The first is an event which prompts the user if they wish to spend 300 action points to do a special sample on their current spot. If the player choose to do this then they initiate sampling. In this event, if the player does not obtain the concentration, they will recieve a normal sample's yield from the attempt. The second event prompts the player to choose whether or not they wish to go after a nearby resource. If the player chooses to do so, then a waypoint is generated and the player then has to move over to the waypoint and get within 5 meters of it to sample. The waypoint generated is always within a 50 meter radius from the players current location at the time of the event. If the player is unsuccessful with the attempt then they receive nothing. The size of the yield from a survey event is also dependant on the survey skill modifier of the player and thus a higher modifier will allow for a greater yield from the sample.
