I noticed that my Entertainer's datapad has many schematics for different props.
I purchased a Generic Crafting Tool from the bazaar, but didn't know how to get resources.
I tried purchasing resources but don't know what I need.
The tool tells me that I need metal, chemical, and reactive chemical, but you can't just buy these items as such. (that's not how they're labeled when you try to purchase resources, besides, resources are very expensive and entertainers don't make a lot of money -tips can be hard to come by)
I created another character as a Trader to try to understand the process but I find this to be a complicated (and boring) role to play. There isn't a lot of helpful info and resources are hard to obtain when you need a lot but can only sample a couple at-a-time.
I love the idea of my entertainer crafting her own props - any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
As has been mentioned metal, chemical and reactive chemical are generic classes, for example:
Metal can be Steel, Iron, Copper or Aluminum of any type or subclass.
Chemical is Lubricating Oil, Polymer etc.
Reactive chemical is one I haven't heard of before but sounds like some form of radioactive energy.
If it asks for Organic then any organic will do (Oats, wheat, fruit, etc.)
As there is no quality requirement for this you can buy the cheapest stuff available and you will still make a product as good as anyone else.
In terms of sampling your own raw materials I would suggest that you do two things (both of which are not fun)
1) Get the Surveyors Bracelet for the Chu Gon Gar cube as that will increase you surveying skill by 20 and help with finding higher concentrations of resources.
2) Get a pet and do the Resource Scavenging collection as that will give you a 50% increase in the amount of resources you sample.
Information about both of these items is available as swgwiki.com.
