i've sampled from creatures as high as CL76. does anyone know the max?
I sampled the Unsir'is soldier (CL76) today on TC-P w/ nt CL57 MBE (was grouped with one of my CL80 toons). Here's the breakdown:
5 Fails, 2 Samples, 11 Fails, Aggro, 9 Fails, Aggro, 14 Fails, Incap.
Need to try with my CL18 MBE on Live. And try juve krayt (CL79)
36 attempts on an ancient rancor tonight - all fails.

the creature that i crafted using the angler dna mentioned above is an abomination: CL 66 with 515 max damage and 4400 hit points. now i don't know whether to sample it and keep going or put it into service as is.
There's a good chance that creature won't be valid after a few calls. Damage over 500 tends to do that to growing pets.
As for the CL75 cap pre-CU it was attempted a lot and CL75 was the highest anyone could ever touch. Since SWGCreatures has been getting reset I can't check for sure, but I believe Enraged Rancors (80) were the next approachable non-NPC creatures after Mutant Rancors (75). Some people (Tal-N?) used to think it was possible, just an with extremely low success rate, though it was never reported.
Who knows now with Post-CU pet crafting and the CL system though. Since pets with out-of-spec stats at those levels tend to rebalance themselves, I wonder what level it's using to determine the sampling difficulty.
Thanks for posting.

YAY!!! My CL18 MBE sampled the Unsor'is Soldier (CL76) today. I was grouped with a CL80 who was not on Kashyyyk. Only got one sample after 20 attempts and then he up and died. The nerve!!! The next soldier was afraid of me and kept ???? and !!!!! me so no DNA from him.
No joy on Juve Krayts (CL79) but I'll probably keep on trying.
