Aluminum Steel

Aluminum Steel is a specialized sub-class of Steel and one of the most widely tracked spawns by mid-game crafters. The class tilts its stat distribution toward Overall Quality and Shock Resistance, making it a popular fit for schematics that weight OQ and SR heavily — composite armor plates and mid-tier weaponsmith receivers being the headline use cases.

Stat profile

Aluminum Steel inherits the Ferrous Metal stat set: OQ, CR, DR, HR, SR, MA, and UT. Across servers and patches the class tends to present with high OQ and SR caps but lower-than-Steel-average Malleability. As with all SWG resources, individual spawns vary — crafters survey for the right combination for their target recipe rather than assuming class-average values.

Where to find it

Aluminum Steel spawns rotate through most habitable worlds — most commonly Corellia, Naboo, Tatooine, Talus, Rori, Lok, and Dantooine. Players track active spawns through community trackers (swgaide-style sites and swgcraft-style trackers) because the class doesn’t sit on any single planet permanently.

Crafter notes

Weaponsmiths and armorsmiths build harvester farms when a good Aluminum Steel spawns — a high-OQ Aluminum Steel pool can fuel hundreds of crafts and is worth committing 5-10 heavy harvesters to a planet for its lifespan. The class is one of the standard “buying lists” any artisan vendor stocks.

Typical uses

• Mid-game weaponsmith receivers and trigger assemblies
• Composite armor plate substrate
• Structural beams and housing structural components
• Droid frame inserts where Overall Quality is the dominant stat weight
