Bio Engineer Archive

Ok guys, I'm new to the Bio Engineering profession and I've managed to become 4/4/1/4 but this DNA tree is really a pain in the ass. Can anyone give me any suggestions on a effective way to level the tree (places to go, what to sample etc.)? I would really appreciate any and all help from the more experienced users here.

Thanks,

Sorry I should have been more specific with my problem. On the way to 1 I was failing nearly 50% of the time on low level creature outside the starter cities, this really disturbed me. Crafting things, which never fail, for XP is hardly comparable to failing 50% of the time on a Worrt or Durni sample. Am I doing something wrong or what? Does it get better? What planet is best for leveling?

And no my inventory is not full, so that is not why I fail so often (which I have seen mentioned on this board).

oh that.

yea thats apparently a big pain at the lower levels now. its mentioned in our "BE issues" by talth. thehigh failure are only at lower levels, although as a master i still fail about 10-15% of the time.

For good xp try Bols on Dantooine. They are HUGE, but not aggressive and won't kill you if they agro on you. Plus if you can get them as missions, sample the ones around the nest, tap the nest once or twice until more spawn and sample them. Repeat until the nest is gone, collect fat payouy.

Agreed. Bols are great for exp.

With Sampling I would I be able to goto Dantooine now and start trying Bols?

you can sample any level of creature. Your skillsonly affect the % of failing

Yep, but pikets give better xp and alot better payout than bols right now. Piket missions are over 9k right now.

It is most definetly more difficult to get DNA sampling now. Sampling the yard trash around keren, it's going to take me over 300 samples.

4/4/1/4 ?!?!?!

is DNA that much different now? DNA 1 only takes around 30 samples to get, doesnt it? DNA 2 only around 90 right? im really not sure cause its been a while since i hit DNA 4.

please be more specific as to what problems you are having.

I found DNA sampling the easy part of BE. Please tell us what problems you are having. What I did is:

1) maximize all the secundairy stats under mind

2) take muon gold, and used the downtime for sampling the DNA

***edit***

2) take muon gold, and used the downtime for sampling the DNA

SHOULD BE

2) take muon gold, and used the downtime to craft the dna into templates

Couple of ideas. First is that it has been my experience that your chances of getting a successful sample of a spooked creature is very low. The creatures around starting cities are almost always perpetually spooked. Too many people and creatures running around for them to settle down. My best luck was on Dantoine sample pickets. I still failed 50% of the time but the XP is better and you could find animals lying down. This always seemed to be a good way to get better success rates. I found that creatures lying down had very good success rates. As soon as something wondered by and spooked them (You see the "!" above their heads) then the success rate went way down. I also found that muon gold let me sample for longer peiods of time and with better success rates. You may want to try and find a MBE who wants the DNA your sampling. Until the new BE fix goes in you can probably sell blurrg or gurreck DNA templates to an MBE to help pay for shuttle fair and muon gold supplies.For any other low level BE's out therethis will also give you UXP.
