if possible get master scout, it will help you out greatly. i have trouble getting near mobs of mutant rancors with exp 4, +25 clothing. also jawa beer can add another +10 on top (food is extra) and so that could help too.

The trick to muties is to crawl. Once you're inside15m you can stand up. Typically you'll be able to roam around pretty freely. NEVER run up to a mutie.

If your mask breaks keep still until the timer resets then mask again. If you have a pet out make the pet stay far away from the mutie mob. The AoE will agro your pet every time. Jawa beer and a full set of mask scent clothes are a must of course. Have brandy with you as well. The mind boost comes in handy.

Sampling muties is an art of mind and patience.

i do everything u say anywayand often i still get agroed. one of my tactics was to lure a mutie away from the group and then post myself in between the lair and the mutie so that when he walks back, i could get a couple of samples. needless to say, this sometimes does work but ive been lying there, mask scent, under cover (rifleman skill) and still got agroed - sometimes witohut even losing my mask scent which is very worrying. i actually find the best place to sample rancs is the rancor cave as they are all spread out and u can hide round stuff.

Its the AoE. If you get agro'd you might try peacing out especially if your mask doesn't break. The AoE will agro the other muties and they will fight each other. Then you sample the winner.

I've heard of people riding their bikes up to muties hoping the speed doesn't agro the animal. If they get agro'd they jump back on the bike and zoom away. If a mutie follows them they go far enough to where the animal turns to go back to the lair. Catch up with him (why are they always him?) and sample him from behind.

By the way, you'll have better luck sneaking up on them from behind.

hmm didnt know it worked like that. i just bought some +19 jawa beer so that should help. with the first bit about them agroing other things, i have done that in the past and it seems to work. the only problem is that usually there is nothing else around the mutant rancors. would work if, say, i used a pet, sent him in and while those two were battling it out i sneak up and wait for the pet to incap?

Its very difficult to sneak up on a mutie that's fighting because of the area attack. As your pet and the rancor battle the area attack would agro you as well and you'd automatically start firing your weapon. It might work however, if you don't equip a weapon. You're road kill if the mutie comes after you though.

I've seen people send in their pet to agro a mutant rancor mob. The area attack will agro all the muties causing them to fight each other. After the battle has ended they sneak up on the winner and try to get samples from it.

Obvious problem, your animal will be trashed in no time.

Why do People make a new ""How to Grind DNA-sampling"" thread every single day.

It really gets annoying now.

Here something i found in the FAQ..

Novice BE -> CL 12
DNA I -> CL 23
DNA II -> CL 34
DNA III -> CL 45
DNA IV -> CL 56
MBE -> CL 75

/sigh

Sample around places like tatooine with noob creatures like nunas and worts, then trying going to an advanced planet like dantooine. If you feel up to it, hit endor or dathomir since they give some of the highest exp.

yeah there actually is...though you can't really do it macroed at all and you'll have to decide if you like it or not.

when you hit dna 2 or so go for something a little harder, then when you hit dna 3 you can go out sampling things like quenkers or something on endor. basically if you can find something that's at the right level, gives good xp, and is reasonably abundant, go for it. other than that though your best choice may be to make yourself a macro/find a macro and use that with periodic intervals to clear your inventory.

Find the highest level thing you can comfortable sample, constant misses aren't good, drink some brandy and go to town.
