My willpower and focus attributesare both 600. After migrating to these, I notice that my Mind pool doesn't go down while sampling. (It dips, but completely recovers to full before the next sample).

My question is, can the same thing be done with the action pool? I have my stamina and quickness both maxed (I forget the values), but I still lose about 10 action each sample. I can do roughly 110 samples from full action to drained.

I'm human, and I know a lot of the other races start out with higher action stats. Do any of you know if its possible to not lose action when sampling?

If you can get both high enough, then you should be able to /sample; and just wait until the game kicks you off, no macros to write.

This isn't a post about the morality of sampling while afk, sampling while sleeping, etc.

Unfortunately, the game isn't designed that way.

Surveying takes more mind than action, Sampling takes more action than mind. That's why your mind recovers after each sampling, but your action doesn't.

Before I migrated my willpower and focus up, I would lose mind when sampling, and I'd lose it quickly. Like20 samples and I was out.

So its not really how the game was designed. It's "-152 action every 15 seconds (how many seconds between samples?) versus an action regen of +142 every 15 seconds..."

Related... I know a rodian musician. His stamina and quickness are maxed. He can double-flourish every tick and never lose his action pool. So hegets max xp every tick, and never needs to rest. Other musicians have to rest every now and then, or not flourish as often.

Just a matter of having enough recovery and a low enough cost.

On a wookie with near maxed action/stamina/quikness it takes a little over half an hour to sample to exhaustion. (while crafting)

I hear that there are better races/stats that let you approach 1 hour per /sample (but have not personally witnessed it.)

Haven't heard of a race combo that can literally /sample forever. Maybe there are Items that give the same buffing effects as certain foods (or better) that would allow you to reach your goal.

Food doesn't last long enough (I think best food is only 6 minute duration). It would have to be some kind of item that increases stats...

Are there such items?

I disagree with the food duration. I ate two servings of travel biscuits and a jar of foraged berries and three days of game time passed while my food level stayed relatively the same. (maybe my character is a little irregular...)
