Has anyone tried to assemble a template with high level DNA in a player city that has Assembly or Expirimentation bonus city specialization? Perhaps that will give you the extra push to possible attain medium armor.

About 3km NW of Dath Outpost are whole fields of rancors, including Mutants. I really didn't have a lot of problems with aggro sampling from them last night. The trick is to never sample from one twice in a row. Sample from one and fail or succeed, move on to the next. The way sampling works, the more you sample from a mob, the more chance you get to aggro. There does appear to be some kind of cool down period. If you find a pack sample once from each, then rest to regain your mind before going through the pack again, you can cut down on the chance to aggro. If you do get aggro and you have a pack of something else nearby, you can usually get the rancor to switch if you can get it in range.

Great work, there HAS to be a medium armor range, if it will be possible to make a medium armor pet at all, or one within the useable range is beyond me. If it IS possible it may take many generations of clones to do.
If the magic number isn't 750, the magic number may be 1000.

Well since you have to have at least one sampel with light armor toget light armor when breaking 500 fortitude I'll bet you need at least one sample with medium armor to get medium when you break 750. The catch of course is getting a sample with medium armor.

Just some small note Blurrg Raptors, before anyone tries to sample them.. they are level 135, so don't bother.

Anyone with Explore 4 and +25 Mask Scent able to sample the Mutant Rancors? or is some Ranger a must?
They're either fighting each other or spot me from 60M out almost every time Im out there in Rancorville.

I'm fairly sure it has been proven, or stated that light armor can be achieved without having light armor in the first set of samples.
