Do it in front of an obstacle or you might find yourself hundred of meters away when you enter back (or in a clone center). Also change the numbers to suit your own character.

That varies with each resource cycle. I suggest sticking with your Mineral Surveyor at first. Just run through each item listed and find the highest concentration without moving. Then stay with that resource and move around until you find the highest concentration of that in the area. Once you've found that double check all the others to make sure you haven't stumbled upon a higher concentration of something else.

You would be best off to start in a starting city, so that the critters spawning around you aren't too tough.

Its basically trial and error, as you can't tell high high concentrations are unless you go track them down. Though ore tends to have an overall lower concentration level than most other resources.

I have found Mos Eisley on Tat usually has a few very high concentrations of minerals and Flora. U can usually find a +90% spot inside the city of something.

Chemicals, such as polymer and fiberplast on average seem to more frequently have 80 - 90% spawns. As where ore for instance is slated much lower usually.

So for the best chance at xp, I'd say hunt down chemicals. But aside from that there is no survey xp difference between sampling from a 90% steel spot, and a 90% chem spot. The xp and speed is all the same. Its just that generally it's easier to find the 80 - 90% spots with chemicals. As metals don't tend to spawn with such high harvest potentials.

I knocked out the survey tree in roughly 8 hours digging up 80+ % polymer. Thats nothing special.. what is worth noting, if you dont already know, is that While grinding the survey, I was ALSO able to gind every bit of crafting at the same time. So thats one thing that was helpful in my quest for mastery.

And if I see another gungan head it will be too soon!

Fast is relative. The only way to get it is to sample, whether you think that is fast or not is up to you to decide.
