I also would like it a little easier to sample from higher end creatures, I mean come on guys, a Master failing to get a sample 9/10 times on a Mutant Rancosr then killing it in 1 sample?

This is why I think they could provide any extra FS skill tree for BEs where they can opt for better sampling skills, experimentation points (make up for lack of skill tapes), assembly (see prev.) and maskscent ability (without the preq. scout skill tree). This would radically improve the effeciency of the BE skill point allocation issue (where some believe that SP investment is too great) and offer BEs to invest time into grinding some BE points (get out the old BSN crafter) and work towards getting the better skills and thus the right to have all these better properties 'innately'. Solves a lot of problems.

I just made a post-rollback attempt, and it turned out a little better (up to CL67). I'll have it on display on Rori (200m from the rebel OP, hard to miss the naboo medium there (Will o'the Wisp)) and I'll see what I can arrange for screenshots later.

EDIT:

take Merek Harvester, Blooming Jax, Mutant Rancor, and Ancient Bull Rancor.

MH/MH/BJ/BJ/MH = A (CL 34ish)
MR/MH/A/A/A = B (CL 39ish)
ABR/ABR/B/B/B = C (CL 65ish)
ABR/ABR/B/B/C = final combine

ArthurDent used Bull Rancor in place of Mutant Rancor, but I found MR's before Bulls, so I sampled accordingly. I maxxed physique experimentation on all templates, and brought intellect to 400+. all other experimentation points were discarded.

to make ONE of these took: four A-types, two B-types, and one C-type. that's 16 MH, 8 BJ, 2 MR, and 4 ABR. THIRTY field samples were needed to yield ONE end clone (no crit fails on templates or clones, but low clone-sample yield). because I'm prone to mishaps, I cloned A-types as Anglers, B's as Bantha, and C as Cu Pa... with the poor labelling on our DNA, this helped me sort out the generational DNA.

the final result was: CL67, 18574/14086/9401, AR2 51/49/5/89/89/80/5/v/v, 340-390 @ 0.38 @ 2.41, crip/diz.

the physique (specifically, fortitude) was 106% on assembly... the C-type was almost enough, but physique was too high to experiment (94% on assembly), and too low to stick AR2.

gave one of these to a MCH, in a narglatch skin (per request).

with +taming mod clothing (aggro skin), they were able to tame it.

they stored it. they tried to call it again.

"invalid pet" error.

kind of makes all this testing moot for usability.

Nice HAM !!

it probably means that it didnt get passed the in game pet scan, which checks for exploit pets. i suppose the system thinks of it as an exploit pet.

---

Nah, you think?

So what was choosen? Bring the stats down or up the CL? I would guess a CL of 71 would be the adjustment. How those things usually work.
