Editing Talk:HarJel

==Naturally occurring vs. "developed"==
Well it can be only one or the other: Either HarJel ''is'' said naturally occurring substance and was ''discovered'' by the Diamond Sharks, or HarJel was ''developed from'' a naturally occurring substance but said substance is not the same as HarJel - be that because HarJel is a refined product, or a totally synthetic product based on said substance. I don't have the source book so cannot look it up myself. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] 01:40, 28 April 2009 (PDT)

:Afair, CDS discovered a natural petroleum-like substance and uses it as a chemical basis for the HarJel. 
:In the novel where Diana Pryde gets her bloodname (title forgotten) a similar substance on Ironhold is mentioned. Joanna thinks, it's useless: it can't be used as grease and it can't be turned into HarJel. --[[User:Detlef|Detlef]] 03:16, 28 April 2009 (PDT)

==HarJel on 'Mechs==
I prefer to ask you before doing something that would be edited if not appropriated.
As you can see in the article image, HarJel is also known in MW:AoD as a gear card. It can equip a 'mech (like every gear cards). As far as I know, it's a new type of Harjel repairing the 'Mech, known as Harjel II and Harjel III. I can't tell you when it has been introduced (near 3138) for 'mechs, but what I know is that is a canon information, as it comes from AoD.
Shall I add it in the article ? --[[User:FIVE-one|FIVE-one]] 12:32, 29 April 2009 (PDT)

:Yes, please do add this canonical information (aka '''[[Policy:Be bold|Be bold]]''')! [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] 13:02, 29 April 2009 (PDT)

==Naturaly occourring vs. developed==
I was confused about that myself, in "Blood In The Water" (the into story in [[MechWarrior's Guide to the Clans]]) they talk about the fact that Clan Diamond Shark is the sole producer of HarJel and that their monopoly is in danger due to the fact that a synthetic HarJel is rumoured to be in production by rival Clans, hence I made the assumption that while HarJel is a naturally occurring substance it requires refinement in order to be used ie. development. I do agree that it needs elaboration.

I went through this book and the only reference i could find is in the intro story "Blood in the Water" by Loren L. Coleman. I have added a citation and removed the "Update Needed" banner [[User:Straw Boss|Straw Boss]] ([[User talk:Straw Boss|talk]]) 03:15, 16 May 2018 (EDT)
