When ever i get near a rancor to sample it it always breaks my mask scent. I am only a scout am i doing something wrong.

Try going prone when you get close to it. Worked for me

I used prone to get from about 30m to 15... if maskscent breaks stand perfectly still, unless of course they aggro you, if you don't move sometimes they forget about you .

<shhhhh... we huntin wancors>

Pulled in about 30 Mutant DNA samples in a 7 hour time period last night. 30 samples with about 15 deaths. If your like me (master BE, working on master Dancer) be ready to die ALOT

mask scent was breaking alot on me last night, very randomly too.

I would walk up to a lvl 20 red con(sludge panther mesh on corellia near coronet, don't remember name or exact CL) and mask scent would break.

Run into the nest and dance the hoola, nadda. They'd just start clapping

I was sampling mutant rancors last night too. I went and bought me some mask scent clothes from a tailor and i didnt die once. mask scent would break occasionally i would just stand still and hope they didnt aggro.

I pulled about 60 Rancor/Gnarled Rancorsamples Tuesday night in a couple hours with Exploration 4 and +25 in Bio-clothing, I had only a few breaks and no agros when it did break. I was going prone and crawling to within 30 meters or less then could get up and walk around without any issues.

For Rancors I find that prone is the silver bullet for me, too. (masked of course).

Somewhat off topic: Do mutant Rancors exist outside of the Rancor Cave? Havn't seen any roaming, even in the shoulder-to-shoulder Rancor Valley so guessing that's the case but figure it never hurts to ask

Hehe starting to think being a Dancer would be the best second profession now for a BE after all the deaths on Endor and Dathomir in last few days. Stinks to have to pay 1000's of credits each time your mind gets to low to sample more.

I don't have any trouble with regular Rancors breaking my mask scent and very little trouble with Mutant Rancors. I have Exploration 4, and some clothes with some of my kick arse Scent Neutralization tissues. The only problem is actually successfully sampling from the Mutant Rancors.
