Well we used to use a macro where you would sample then stand to regenerate your mind then sample again. I don't know about anyone else but post CU I didn't have a problem with my mind regenerating fast enough any more.

Perhaps I am wrong in how I did this, and if I am many others will point it out I'm sure, but I found a nice 94% spawn of something (for me it was aluminum) inside a major city (kadera on corellia), so that I wouldn't be agro'd. Then hit sample just one time...every 20 seconds my guy would get another sample, and never had a regen problem. It also didn't log me off, just sat there and sampled all day long with the one button press.

What I did use a macro for was those stupid popups. It went like this...

/pause 60;

/ui action defaultButton;

/macro (name of your macro here);

So every 60 seconds it would clear any box that poped up, and if there wasn't one then no problems.

Now it took me quite a while to grind surveying this way, but it did the trick. Total time for me about 8 hours, ish. You will have to train as you get to each box, cause the xp cap will hold you back other wise.

If anybody else has a better way to do it, please feel free to contribute

Won't that also accept any other popups that come up (like grouping invites, etc.)? Does the constantly-reappearing Respec popup default to "Later" or "Yes"?

Yes I suppose that would be an issue. I personally don't have the respec popup glitch problem that many others do so, I guess I'm just lucky there. As for group invites, well I tried to stay out of heavy traffic areas when I was sampling. On Ahazi Kadera ( I hope I'm typing that right ) isn't usually very crowded, and there are many places I could go without being bothered by spam, or group invites and what not.

If the respec popup is an issue then I suppose you could do a /stand /survery macro, but even then you may still get the occasional /sample popup. In those cases I just don't know.

here is my sample macro that i used

/sample;

/pause 123;

/stand;

/pause 27;

/ui action toolbarSlot00

basically i put the icon in the top left corner on my toolbar, wat it does is obviously does a sample (warning u must do the survey urself before hand and find a resource over 40% concentration) then it samples 5 times during the pause exactly, stands and waits for the cool down to finish, then starts again becuz it is looped. this helps becuz that window that pops up stops ur sampling...when u stand up and restart it overrides that window so u dont hav to be at ur computer continuously...when ur at ur computer though it goes that much mroe faster cuz ur not skipping any samples. Hope that helps!!!

Right click the survey tool, go to tool options, set range, then select the new range after you've hit Survey I,II,III or IV

I use the defaultButton method mostly right now but I didn't want to get dragged off someplace in someone's bike. Standing and sitting all the time makes you drift one way or another depending on if you're male or female (does race matter?) so I took a droid, named it Anchor and told it to stay. Then I targeted it and ran this as my sample macro. You could probably shorten the pauses up so they totaled 30 seconds but I was having so many lag problems that's what I ended up with.

/sample;
/pause 10;
/stand;
/pause 5
/follow;
/pause 5;
/stopfollow;
/pause 20;
/macro Sample;

Happy sampling!

If you're not worried about standing, you don't need a macro to sample.

Use the macro a few messages up to clear pop-ups.

If you REALLY need to stand, just make it:

/sample;

/pause 10;

/stand;

/pause 10;

/macro
