Thread: Survey Question for grinding
Question : Does Surveying different things yield more XP ?
If so what yields the best im doing a average 27-35 per suggessful sample doing Mineral : Steel
I had never been able to nail down why the difference in xp, but the range had always been 25-40 xp per "success".
The success is based on your skill mod only. The density only affect how much you pull per success, but does not affect your chance of getting a "successful" pull nor any xp.
So, there's no way to "grind" any faster. All you can do is pick a spot you can sample (>10% density and had not just shifted within 24hrs) and wait.
The most optimal way to sample is to sample, then sit (eg macro is /kneel; /pause 2; /sample; /pause 2; /sit; /pause 27; /ui action toolbarSlotXX).
This allow you to sample continuous every cycle (30 second) since you'll regenerate all your HAM between each sample and it also bypass the dev's "fix" to prevent AFK sampling, namely that annoying pop-up.
