Bols and pikets on dant are nice as well.....xp is low 300 for bols upto 450 ish with pikets...also they dont DB.


even lesser boils are ok...130ish per lesser bol but you get around 5-9 samples per one and theres around 5 out per nest. thats around 5k for the first spawn. OK the money side for mission isnt much but what are you after here xp or creds? Also if they do agro they are fairly easy to take down if you have some combat that is

Getting DNA sampling 2 was hard and boring, but just after I got that I went to Dantooine and did Pikets and an occasional Bol, massive XP!


I was on Naboo a few seconds ago (still have DNA 3) and found a Fambaa spawn, I sampled loads and milked te lair til it was gone, 12k DNA sampling xp richer (only had 1 agro on me)

Just do gurks... 350 a pop, low aggro rate even at dna sampling1, and you get 8k a lair. I just set myself to follow the gurk while i'm sampling it, and then grinding micro nutrient coffee pots at the same time.. grinding 2 tiers of BE at once and making bank in the process.

Wait until you hit DNA Sampling II. You'll want to either kill yourself or give up all BE by the time you're about 50% of the way to DNA Sampling III. Once you hit DNA 3, though, it becomes MUCH easier, and you can get multiple samples off the same higher-level creature before it dies or aggros. I think it was actually easier to get DNA 4 than it was to get DNA 2. Oh, and Bark Mite Burrower Queens on Endor give GREAT sampling XP. Just don't get killed. I believe that I was getting well over 600 sampling XP each time I poked one of them. Endor rocks for DNA sampling.

I'm sick of sampling, as well. I don't even take clone requests, any longer. Now, I make clones pretty much only when I feel like it. Every week or so, I add another dozen clones to my vendor. Sampling is a pain. I'm focusing on pet meds and tissues.


As far as the bonus goes...


We're capped at +25 pet skill? And there's a display bug? That bites.

If you want some combat experience in addition to sampling xp - try Blurrgs (450 xp or higher) on Endor. They will usually try and use that ranged attack against you, and their accuracy with it is horrible. If one chases you to melee range just run through a nearby pack of aggressive mobs with maskscent up and they will take care of him for you.
