Welcome to another entry of the Gryphon’s Tome! Grade 1 Crafting Materials

We start on Ord Mantell.
On Ord Mantell, Quick Travel to Oradam Village, then travel West to Savrip Island.
On Savrip Island there are Silver and Gold level Savrips, giant beasts waiting to be defeated.
Defeat the Savrips for loot and to gather materials they drop.
This is a great location for Grade 1 Bio mats.
Travel around the Island in a Clockwise manner, rinse, and repeat!

Next, we travel to Tython.
Tython includes Scavenging materials in a heroic which you can pick up at the Jedi Temple on the second floor if you are a Jedi class.
If you are a Jedi class, pick up the heroic, then use the heroic transport either next to the mission or in your Inventory.
If you are NOT a Jedi class, travel to the Ruins of Kaleth.
The entrance to the cave is near -699 (X), 36 (Y).
There are Silver and Gold level Droids throughout the cave.
Defeat the droids to gather their materials.
This is a great location for Grade 1 Scavenging mats.
Travel to the end of the cave, turn around, and continue!
The respawn rate on Ord Mantell and Tython is very high, so you should have no trouble finding NPC’s to loot.
Use these areas for targeted gathering.

We end with Coruscant.
When looking for Bio mats, travel to the Works.
Not only are there NPCs you can loot, there are also nodes to collect from for Bio, Scav, and Slicing.
If you’re looking for Arch nodes, travel to the Jedi Temple and be sure to check each room.
The other useful areas for a mix of mats are the Black Sun Territory, Justicar Territory, and the Old Galactic Market.
Overall, it is recommended you use Coruscant as a farming location for Grade 1 materials if you are looking for general materials.

Welcome to another entry of the Gryphon’s Tome!

We start on Hutta.
North of the Evocii Work Camp, you can find droids to Scavenge.
Around the Evocii Work Camp, there are neutral beasts you can defeat to Bioanalyze.
There are also beasts that can be defeated for materials on the island
to the East of the Old Muckworks.

Korriban is next and has very few materials to farm
Try the Wilds and go East when you Quick Travel in.
There are Tuk’ata you can defeat and farm.
You can also try the heroic area
accessed through the Tomb of Tulak Hord
at -20 (X) and 66 (Y).
Once you’re in the Tomb, take out the droids for materials!

The best location for Grade 1 Materials on the Imperial side is Dromund Kaas.
Go through the heroic area, take out the beasts, farm, then take the road North.
The road between Lord Grathan’s Estate and Kaas City is full of materials.
Travel the road and pick up every material you can!

If you’re looking for Grade 1 materials as an Imperial farmer,
stick to Dromund Kaas for the best variety!

Welcome to another entry of the Gryphon’s Tome! Grade 2 Crafting Materials

**** Interested in Grade 2 IMPERIAL materials? Try Balmorra in the same locations mentioned in the Grade 4 materials video below.

First, we travel to Nar Shaddaa.
The Nikto Sector and Red Light District are the best locations for gathering materials on Nar Shaddaa.
These two areas provide densely populated nodes that quickly respawn.
Shadow Town is another option, but it is less-densely populated with materials.
Travel here when looking for rampage conquest points and materials.

Next we travel to Taris.
This ravaged land hides materials in plain sight.
To efficiently collect materials, head to the Tularan Marsh and travel Northeast to Brejik’s Run Outpost.
Brejik’s Run is a callback to KOTOR 1 and rife with materials.
All other areas of Taris provide a medium-density of materials, but their respawn rate and spread reduces efficiency when gathering.
If you prefer to move around the entire map when gathering materials, stick to the roads in each area.
Materials will be close to the roads.

While Grade 2 materials are spread over less planets than Grade 1, they still remain useful for early crafting.

Welcome to another entry of the Gryphon’s Tome! Grade 3 Crafting Materials

We start on Nar Shaddaa, a location you may remember from the
Volume 1, Chapter 2 of the Gryphon’s Tome.
The Nikto Sector and Red Light District are the best locations for gathering materials.
These two areas provide densely populated nodes that quickly respawn.
Shadow Town is another option, but it is less-densely populated.

The second planet is Tatooine.
We go there, then we realize that’s a bad life choice because mats are so few and far between.

Instead, we go to the third planet, Alderaan.
The Palista Spaceport leads perfectly into the Lowlands for gathering.
Both areas have a high volume of unguarded material nodes.
If you’re looking for conquest, you can take out the nearby NPCs for rampage.
You can also defeat the droids and beasts to loot for materials.
Alderaan is the all-around best location for grade 3 materials.
So don’t go lookin’ in Al-de-wrong places for materials!

Welcome to another entry of the Gryphon’s Tome! Grade 4 Crafting Materials

**** Interested in Grade 4 IMPERIAL materials? Try Taris in the same locations mentioned in the Grade 4 materials video above.

Hoth is the first planet you can visit for Grade 4 mats, but it’s not worth it.
If you’re looking for bio mats, use the Snowblind heroic for NPC nodes.

Quesh is a good option, but materials are spread out and have a slow respawn rate.

Balmorra is the location you should stick to for Grade 4 materials.
You can gather plenty of materials from the Colicoids in the heroic Acquired Taste.
Arch and Scav mats can be found in the Sundari flatlands with a fantastic respawn rate.
A trick to gather efficiently in the Sundari Flatlands is to gather while sending your spare companions on missions to gather grade 4 mats.
That way you’re getting Conquest from gathering and rampages, along with the missions.
And you’re raising your companion influence with the gathering missions as well.
Keep in mind that you DO need Grade 4 materials for War Supplies.

Welcome to another entry of the Gryphon’s Tome! Grade 5 Crafting Materials

We start on Belsavis
This planet prison is both filled with and empty of materials.
Start in the Tombs, where a variety of materials await.
If you’re looking for bio mats, you can either take out the beasts or gather the mats all around you.
Slicing and Arch mats are prevalent here too, making this the best all around gathering location.
Looking for Scavenging opportunities?
Go to the High Security area and take out the droids.
The droids are great for looting, conquest, and materials.

Next is Voss, a planet of nightmares, the Force, and prophecy.
Material nodes are more spread out here, but still available.
Focus on the Old Paths map.
It has a good respawn rate for nodes, NPCs you can gather from, and is large enough for a group to gather in.
If you’re looking for bio mats in particular, try the Nightmare lands.
The NPCs in the Nightmare Lands are helpful for gathering and conquest.

Grade 5 materials are some of the least gathered, so take advantage of these great farming locations!

Welcome to another entry of the Gryphon’s Tome!

First, we start on Corellia.
While this planet often is players’ least favorite to travel to,
it holds a surprising number of materials, if you know where to look.
Start in Axial Park.
It has a solid respawn rate,
good routing through the 5 different areas,
and plenty of NPCs to get conquest.
Want a denser populations of materials?
Go to the government district.
Travel in a clockwise-spiral through the map to be efficient.
Corellia is more populated with materials than you think
and you’ll have little competition for mat hunting here.

Next is Voss, which you may remember from Volume 1, Chapter 5 of the Gryphon’s Tome.
A reminder that material nodes are more spread out here,
but still available if you’re looking for conquest and gathering.
Focus on the Old Paths area and travel with a group.
If you’re looking for bio materials in particular,
try the Nightmare Lands.
The NPCs in the Nightmare Lands are helpful for gathering and conquest.
Just… be careful what you click on!

Finally we have Ilum, a home of Grade 6 & 7 materials.
We’ll cover Ilum thoroughly in Grade 7,
but for now…
Focus south of the Republic post and North of the Imperial post.
You’ll find heroic areas with materials.
Consider focusing in the area opposite your faction for less resistance.
For example, if you’re a Republic player,
go North of the Imperial post.

Welcome to another entry of the Gryphon’s Tome!

We begin on Ilum.
This is a difficult planet to gather on
and you’ll find many material farmers skip it.
The trick for Ilum is knowing where to look.
Travel to the two heroic areas for the best material gathering.
One is South of the Republic Base Camp
and the other is North of the Imperial Base Camp.
In the heroic areas, you’ll find a variety of materials.
that Ilum does not have much in the way of bio materials outside of NPCs.
Visit Ilum if you’re looking for Slicing,
Scavenging, and sometimes Arch.

Next is Makeb, a polarizing planet for prospecting players.
(look at that alliteration!)
If you’re looking for bio mats in particular,
go to the Volcanic Mesa.
There are NPCs you can defeat and gather from,
along with some slicing and scav options.
If you are focusing on Scavenging,
go to Gravity Hook Four in the Northwest corner of the map.
There is a heroic area,
where you can take out more droids than you can loot before they respawn.
Travel to this area with a friend with Scav and clean the place out.
You’ll have the best luck if someone is with you.

Welcome to another entry of the Gryphon’s Tome!

Grade 8 materials are a bit tricky to find.
Both have minimal nodes or farmable NPCs.

There’s a secondary planet, Rishi, that has more nodes, but they’re spread out.

If you are searching for Grade 8 mats, go to Yavin 4.
It’s the best place for Grade 8 mats.
Not only are there nodes everywhere with quick respawn rates,
but you can run the dailies and get Conquest Points
while gathering materials.

Yavin 4 is probably the most complete gathering spot in the game,
though more spread out than locations like Zakuul
and with a slower node respawn rate than Darvannis.

Your best bet for Arch nodes is the Temple Ruins
where you can also loot and gather from Massassi.
For bio nodes, focus in the Swamps.

For scav, look in the Massassi village in the Temple Ruins map.
And for a mix, go to the Training grounds!
Overall, Yavin 4 is a one-stop shop for grade 8 materials with minimal resistence.

Welcome to another entry of the Gryphon’s Tome!

We begin on Zakuul, the best material gathering planet in the game.
This one honestly felt like fan service to all farmers.
Zakuul’s swamps are a dream for Arch and Bio.
The sheer number of nodes on such a small map
make it easy for a group to gather in the same instance.
If you’re looking for Slicing, and to a degree Scav, go to the Undercity.
Slicing there will make you rich in an hour.
This toon isn’t a slicer, just trust me, go to Zakuul.
Accessing Zakuul can be an issue because you have to reach endgame to travel there.
Otherwise, just enjoy this location!

Darvannis is the second best gathering location for grade 9 materials.
The material node respawn rate on Darvannis is impossibly fast,
it has a fantastic variety, and in most cases you can avoid NPCs.
If you’re feeling daring, go for the groups of 3 Skytroopers,
they often have multiple material nodes near them.

Where Zakuul lacks Scav nodes, Darvannis has more than enough,
and where Darvannis lacks Bio nodes, Zakuul swamps make up for it.

If you want an easy day of gathering, look no further.
Grade 9 materials should never be hard to find.

Welcome to another entry of the Gryphon’s Tome!

We begin on Ossus, a sparcely populated planet in both NPCs and material nodes.
Ossus is NOT the place to gather grade 10 materials.
It has so few nodes that it is the opposite of efficient.
If you are going to gather, be focused about it.
Bio and Scav mats can be found near the farms and Arch mats in the Jedi Temple.
Unfortunately, the material nodes in the temple often glitch.

Iokath is the other Grade 10 planet and it’s honestly not that much better than Ossus.
While Iokath has a greater concentration of materials…
there are still better ways to get Grade 10 materials.
To gather efficiently,
go counter-clockwise on the Iokath Expanse.
The variety of materials is relativley high,
but it’s still not the best gathering experience.

For the first, and only, time in this series,
I will recommend using missions to gather materials.
Grade 10 materials are half impossible to gather.
I highly recommend you use gathering missions to get Grade 10 materials.

One other option is to run Knights of the Fallen Empire
and Knights of the Eternal Empire chapters and gather during those in the hopes of getting Grade 10 materials.

Welcome to another entry of the Gryphon’s Tome!

We begin on Onderon,
and if your computer can handle the Ultra graphics, just do it.
This planet is GORGEOUS.
If your toon is below level 65,
focus on gathering in the cities.
You can avoid enemy NPCs
and you can Scavenge.
If you’re feeling a bit more daring,
focus in the center of the map just West of the city of Iziz.
The variety of materials is solid and you can pretty easily avoid NPCs.
The caves have the highest chance of Arch nodes, if you’re looking for color crystals.

Next is Mek’sha, which is considerably more dangerous for low-level toons.
Also a trick drop your graphics to make the shadows a little easier to see through.
The easiest concentration of materials to access is in the waters
under the boardwalks within the Brzo’s Wells map.
Mek-Sha is full of mats,
but it’s better to gather in a team to speed things along
due to the high level NPCs.

In general, Grade 11 mats are the most profitable on the GTN,
but that comes at the gathering cost of dangerous NPCs.
With a little focus,
you can gather a solid amount of mats
without having to fight off NPCs!

Gathered Materials:

  • Archaeology (Power Crystal): Lustrous Bondar
  • Archaeology (Artifact Fragment): Lustrous
  • Archaeology (Color Crystal): Lustrous
  • Bioanalysis (Sample): Unknown Microorganism
  • Bioanalysis (Compound): Virulent Extract
  • Scavenging (Metals): Duraniam Plating
  • Scavenging (Compound): Tempersteel
