         WANTED: Rare Resource Scouting Reports!! 
           
        
        
         

        
        
         I am working to discern the 
         Actual Rarity and 
         Regional Distribution of Rare Minerals and Herbs.  While I have found a few small samples of this posted, the sample groups are too small, too localized, or incomplete.  If you know of a definitive database like this, please let me know!  
        
        
         

        
        
         What Information I Will Be Collecting:
        
        
         
          Resource Type (Name), 
          Resource Quantity(Amount on Tile), 
          Resource Location (Region)
         
        
        
         I will be stripping away the other information, and deleting the Scouting Reports once these 3 pieces of information have been collected.
        
        
         

        
        
         I would like to get at least 250 samples from each Region minimum, and closer to 1000 per Region by the time I am done collecting, in this first phase.  I have an active contingent of over 700 Scouts working on my accounts to bring me information as well, until I am satisfied with the sample group.
        
        
         

        
        
         

        
        
         If you'd like to help, please forward me your Scouting Reports for Rare Minerals or Rare Herbs, Grapes would be good as well.  Please forward to "HumbleDROP" or "Humbled" in-game.
        
        
         

        
        
         

        
        
         I will be posting the final information on my website along with my other Guides.  
        
        
         

        
        
         My website is located at: 
         http://humbledilly.wordpress.com/
        
        
         

        
        
         I will not be sharing in-game, or posting information related to specific coordinates for any of these resources besides "Region".  Many Players and Alliances like to keep information on super-rare resources secret, and if by some chance they are willing to share that information with me for this database, I do not want to have their Mines or Herb locations trying to be taken over as a direct result.
        
        
         

        
        
         

        
        
         Timeline:
        
        
         I would like to have a 'beta' copy of the information available within 30-45 days.  This will obviously depend on how many samples I collect and collate into the database.
        
        
         

        
        
         Programmers:
        
        
         If anyone knows enough to develop a script that could help to automate the extraction of this information via a button-click or similar, I just might love you.  Unfortunately it's outside my skill set at the moment, so I am simply manually entering this information into a spreadsheet for further manipulation once I have enough results to begin working with.
        
        
         

        
        
         Many thanks for any assistance!  Especially those that have already contributed reports!
        
        
         

        
        
         FAQ EDIT #1: Duplicate Locations will be added together and divided by the number of reports for that location to create an average quantity for that tile.
        
        
         

        
        
         RANDOM EDIT #2: Updated my Scout count from 400 to 700 to reflect overnight training.

	If there are any parties that are willing to screenshot very valuable Scout Reports on Silversteel or similar, and black out the specific coordinates, I would appreciate any submissions to help round out some of these items which I am unlikely to get raw Scout Reports forwarded to me for. Please email them to me at reynolds.t13@gmail.com Again, many thanks! Have collected 137 reports from community members today (I will likely lose count at some point if this picks up), an additional 42 within my Alliance, and A LOT more from my own Scouts.

	Updated to 1660 Plots in the sample group, from 738. Will be taking some time off from this project for now. Been burning a lot of my Illy time, and will only be focusing on some areas with obvious holes in the data for the time being. Thanks for all the help folks! Special thanks to Kabu, Misty, and all the others that have submitted reports. Cheers!
