Buy a droid with a food/chem crafting station. Then you can go out and sample to your hearts delight, and do ALL your crafting/experimenting in the field. Saves you the trips to your house with 50 dna samples that only = 10 templates.

No this doesn't apply to Rank1 but the higher (read better exp) pets require a personal crafting station in order to craft both the templates and the creature. Soooo buy a droid.

Worked great for mehave one on my Bio, and one on my doctor.

Which btw is a great combo. if your going for Kimo samples, Run in with my bio start the sample, die, get the sample, rez with the doctor.

Well iv found i can get 1800 samples in one hour using the Muon Gold, which is enough for 360 templates. Saddly it's not possible for me to carry that amount myself plus the droids tend to lose them when transporting them so i usually have to walk back to my lab where i keep the resoruces with only 80 templates which in total takes me about 45 mins. On the whole it's a hell of alot faster than crafting in the field plus i get around 40'000exp from making carrion spats, so in the space of say 2 hours I'd have clone 3 once the servers are back up.

Thank god I've been stock piling meat sand veg since i found out about the tissues

WOOOTTT???

What is the Muon Gold?? never heard of it

Muon Gold is a Level 4 spice made by smuggers. It gives +600 to Mind, Focus, and Willpower for 600 seconds (10 min). Pretty handy thing to have when you're trying to get DNA. My mind regens a little faster than I use it, so I can keep DNA'ing for a while if I find a good spot.

Thanks, nice ! Now I have to find a smuggler. I love whendynamics actually works

What he is saying is if you got a droid with a crafting mod in it you wouldnt have to go back to the lab at all. It's like a moving food and crafting that stalks you. Can sample and throw a template together as you go. It's great for places like endor and dath. Heck great for anywhere actually.

I highly suggest getting a droid. I use it in two ways:

Leveling up: Put everything not absolutly required for sampling in my backpack. Down my spice (currently Grey Gabaki). Start sampling. When the spice downer hits, I take a seat and pull out my 4 food/chem crafting gizmos, meat and flora. Start grinding Templates and then Clones. By the time I finish that, the spice effects have worn off and it's time to repeat.

Sales: I usually walk around with at least 10 of my best samples (extras in case of a critical failure). When I'm headed to a mission terminal, cantina or med center (sampling can be dangerous when I spot something 'interesting' and say, "I wonder if..."), people sometimes ask me to make something for them. If I'm at that level, I bring out the droid and custom make something for them on the spot. Instant sales are great. Of course, it isn't totally instant since I warn them of all the drawbacks etc. But, if they're still convinced, it's better than telling them to hang on while I find a crafting station. This is especially important since I often wander from city to city looking for the best prices on materials and good dna sampling areas. There's nothing like the satisfaction of a customer who got an instant customized product.

my surgical droid has a food/chem and a medical 2 module. its been extremely useful.

an added plus is a doc and a patient can auto follow me and heal wounds while traveling to the next lair in large groups, as long as i have the droid following me with them.

I got me a R4 Advance Unit w/ food&chem, Medical4 and personaltly Chip for 15k BEST money i ever spent in the game

1800 samples in one hour? Not possible. Sampling takes approximately 10 seconds. There are 6 x 60 10-second units in one hour = 360. You'd have to be getting a sample once every 2 seconds in order to get 1800 in one hour. Given the tested 30% failure rate for sampling, the maximum you can realistically hope for in one hour is 262 samples per hour. That's 52 templates - not shabby but a far cry from 360. Perhaps you meant per day?

I've got to agree, crafting droids are fantastic. Instead of sitting around doing nothing waiting for your mind to regen, you could be making dna tamplates. Even if you leave your meat and flora in the shop, you still have 5 times the templates you would without the droid. Personally I take meat and flora with me and do the whole thing there in the field.

I haven't tried spice yet. I have been using Caf and Tertier (sp?) noodles to increase my focus and will power. Duration is only half of spice and the effects aren't as strong, but I can take several doses of the food at once with no spice downer to wait out.

ouch hehe

shot down...

Lol, yeah sorry that's a typo, I meant to say 180.

Iget with the Muon Gold and easy 30-32 samples in the space of ten minutes, there's then 2 minutes of downtime. So in the space of an hour thats 180 samples on average making a total of around3000 exp every 10 minutes using carrions. Multiply that by every hour and you have roughly 180'000exp. However..

Because you have to spend around some time actually making the clones it actually works out to be around half that.
