I've been looking and dont see a whole lot of conversation about this, but I'm aware most people do it..

When you do missions and sample all the monsters to death, then respawn, sample to deatha gain, what do you do about the second respawn? I always get aggroed by it as soon as it spawns because I had to shoot the nest down to half- is there some trick I'm un aware of?

Thanks guys.

Thats how I do it too. When it get close to half, start to peace and milk it slowly. Another method I use is to pull a weak pet like a baby and have it attack the lair while I go for a stroll and enjoy the scenerie Making sure I am far enough away to not draw agro. Store the pet while it is incapped then go about my business. If I am impatient and don't want to wait out the cooling off period before storing, I'll destry the pet and get another.

I only use the pet when I really want everything to go smooth. Like a deathblow lair or something. But other than that, I shoot and peace like mentioned above.

I use the following macro for it:

/disarmShot1;

/pause .5;

/peace;

I use disarm cause it's a single shot that can do up to 1k of damage with the weapon I use. I usually click the macro, wait 5-6 secs and click again, but you get used to where they'll pop once the bar hits a certain spot after a while.

If you're non combat you could use a CDEF with this:

/attack;

/pause 2 (or 1 if your extra cautious );

/peace;

I never did missions by sampling everything to death, wish someone would have told me about it =/ that meat got expensive...

I'm CH, so I have scout as well.

I alternated between sampling stuff to death on missions and killing things (the normal way) so I could harvest meat and help keep costs down. Worked nicely really, as all I had to buy was the flora...

Yeah, I like doing missions to get DNA because there normally is one or two that agro you after sampling DNA, so I just kill that one and harvest it, and all is good ^_^ Killing two mynock with one stone as they say =)

Sample to death all that are spawned before touching lair.

2nd spawn starts at 66% of lair total health.

I did many many missions this way.

But I have a good combat skill so aggros werent a problem.

This is absolutely correct. Personally, I get out the calculator, multiply the max lair health by .66, and start shootin. Keep an eye on the health of the lair, and when it gets close, /peace (use the keyboard command so that you can keep an eye on the lair hp numbers). Then I just tap every 5 seconds or so until something spawns.

Omina is exactly right, here is what I've been doing on Naboo...

1. I take two Bolle Bol missions in same direction


2. Get to first lair and sample the two that are up


3. Tap lair once and peace


4. Sample the two that have just spawned


5. Target lair and mouse over the total HAM this gives you the exact numbers (ex. 28613 / 36000 )


6. Auto Attack lair until almost 1/3 HAM is gone once that threshold is broken two more spawn ( ex. oncetotal drops beyond 24000 / 36000 )


7. Sample those two and auto attack lair until destroyed


8. Rinse and repeat at next lair

General Pointers

• Keep Mask Scent up at all times


• If a creature shows a?/ ! over it's head be sure to wait a second, drop, and reapply Mask Scent


• If a creature is watching you move around... Stop moving thendrop and reapply Mask Scent


• Always take notice of aggressive creatures around you... If your Mask Scent does not break but you gain argo from trying to sample hit peace and burst runthrough a pack of agressives.The agressiveswill fight the rogue for you.

Wow! There is a much much easier way to sample from missions! Here is how I do it.

1) Take two missions with a common dorection (one NW and one N for example) Trying to get it so the missions are within 500-1500m of each other.

2) Go to the first mission, sample the MoBs to death. Do NOT hit the lair

3) Run to the second mission, sample the MoBs to death, Do NOT hit the lair

4) Go back to step #2 and repeat until you have enough samples. When you go back to the mission WP there will be a new spawn again.

If you need the mission cash then when you get close to having enough samples you can take down each lair and sample stuff as it spwans. Make sure you hit the lair with an overcharge shot and /peace as soon as you see the combat queue pop up then wait a but to make sure nothign spawns to attack you right away before hitting the lair with another overcharge shot.

Usually I have more then enough cash in my account and I just abort both missions when I get enough samples. I do this all day to get bark mite burrower and bull rancor samples.

Well I'm doing a mission as I write this, so I can give you an on the spot report

I just take missions where the creatures don't deathblow. That way I sample them and hit the lair, when they spawn and agro I justincap (zero combat skills see). It takes me ages to do a mission, hence me trawling the boards and playing other games . I'm currently having a major battle with a brackasat baby, pity me

Hitting for 50 points max sucks

Shoot-Peace, wait a few seconds for spawn. If nothing spawns,Shoot-Peace again, wait a few seconds for spawn, ...
