XP/Info trade-in for SSRs.

**cloudwolf**

Simple enough request, add an xp/info trade in on the SSR Gum like on Binary Boy and the revamped Uriah. Was just farming farming there and didn't really understand why the doctor doesn't follow the 'new' collector spec is all. It'd give those of pretty much any level a reason to go there, even if they dont want/already have HJB/Mobius.

He's got a point, can't deny that...

I think it may be because anyone can come in and spam howwie and collect a load of gum up on the lower level SSRs (If they drop them, I havent checked) and tade them in for XP. Also what percentage of XP should be given, go with a low % because you could be farming the low level NPCs or go with a high % as your still in a FFA area.

Also doesn't really need the info trade as your in Datamine SMILEY

I don't think they drop any faster for the lower lvls if your Lv. 50. I tried myself and got 0 out of 10. Went to the Lv. 50-52 and got 4 out of 10. *shrugs* Could just be me.

The way i understand xp trade ins is thats some sort of set base value then it scales appropriately if you're higher/lower level than said value. Its the reason level 40s cant just go super farm Choppers and speed level to 50, for example. Given the bredth of SSR levels the hard coded value would just have to be a nice middle point.

No. They can be farmed too easily/quickly.

Also of note is that the gum is tradeable. Not that being untradable completely stops the Robot Parts from being farmed for lower levels, but at least it makes it a little more difficult.

The Gum should not drop if the mob killed is lower level than you.

That's true in my experience.

Ah, well that does change a lot of things, but still as it is tradeable, it shouldn't give too much more XP than the Chopper Keys.

So far as I know, this is true.

I had it drop for me on the level 40s, of course this was very, very rare until I found out that the 50s dropped them consistently.

**Triface**

Yes I too figured that out.

This was my experience as well. At level 50, the level 4X guards at the base of the building did drop gum, but it was very very rare. The level 50 guards around the upper level elevators dropped gum, but it was still rather rare. The level 51 guards further away from the elevators, however, dropped gum about 2/3 of the time.
