Nanoclusters. Tips on finding those?

[_____________Zickens]

Heya! Well, I have been in AO for time now and recently found how tedious is the Nanocluster finding work. Could someone plase give me some tips about where to find them? I just can´t find the right QL ones I need to put in my implant.

Someone must have already discussed about this here but I just can´t seem to find a post and sites only explain which nanoclusters I need to make a certain implant. Oh, and already got nanonanny...

Whenever I go to a shop (basic/adv/sup) I can never find a cluster near the QL lvl of my implant. (I heard the difference, either up or down, must be a max of 15% QL lvl)

Things like this would help:

1. Do different stores in different locations give the same QL clusters?

2. How much time does it need for a shop to respawn and offer different cluster types? (Zoning in and out doesnt seem to work and different people get the same QL clusters, already tried that)

3. What are the best shops to buy clusters in Omni Tek side?

4. Anyone has any time-saving tip or strategy... I spent about 3hours to get like 5 implants done!!!

Well... hope anyone can help me :)))

Thanks!

General Chizhik here!

here are some things i find helpful when i go shoping for nanoclusters for new implants.

1- don't assume that you will have your complete set of implants done in one day. the shopping part of implant making is the most time consuming aspect of the tradeskill as you already found out. I usually keep a large backpack sepparate for my implants and clusters where i gather all the nessesary components until i have everything on my shopping list.

2- i don't know much about respawn time for items in shops but i usually do 1 runarround and find all the parts that are availible at that time, then go do something else like hunt or mission, then go do another run through the stores.

3- on the OT side the best place to go shopping is obviously Omni Trade since it has several shops of the same kind and ql level all in the same place. the basic setup for shops in Omni Trade is asfollows: you have your various vendors on the inner circle by the statue, such as weaponsmith, armor trader, container supplier, and a few more. the perimiter followiing that circle you will find shops specialising in Miir fasion wear. The perimiter following that contains the basic shops. The outermost ring is where you will find you ordinary (advanced and supperior) and special (advanced and superior) shops. i usualy do 1 full run around the advanced/supperior shops to get my implant supplies. keep in mind that you will not find everything you need the first run arround.

4- on a final note here are some wacky time saving strategies i found helpfull: I got a yalm and now i fly virually anywhere...but thats a rather costly one time investment that you may not aquire any time soon. if there is a fixer handy in our org. ask him to give you a run buff, which will minimize the ammount of time it takes you to run form 1 store to another

It would be nice if AO in "the future" was more like the present.

Select cluster, select cluster type (shining/bright/faded) type in QL, press enter.

For finished items I understand not making it this "easy", but for tradeskill items it really should be. It would clean up the clutter too, only need 1 machine for clusters and the list for every machine would be half as long or better.

They could still make you go to basic for 1-50, advanced for 50-100 and superior for 100-200.

Someone in inventory management needs to tell these computer vendors they are overstocking (and mis-stocking) themselves into bankruptcy
