I can't do anything but respect a person who has made it to master BE and has kept it. DNA Sample is by far the hardest skill in the game to raise. Yet you guys did it because you wanted to play the class...That's all

Actually I found the sample tree to be the easiest. I was sampling DNA during the 100% aggro bug and considered moving my belongings into the clone center since I spent so much time there.

You're right, much respect for all BE's.

I don't agree with you about DNA Sampling being the hardest though, I personally think it's the easiest in the game. You're feel this way because you're grinding holos, trying to master a skill every other night. That's nothing against you, lots of people are doing it. The thing is, the professions in this game were never intended to be ground out like they are currently. They were meant to be played.

If you PLAY a BE and go out to sample DNA, making creatures as you go, then no, it's not the most difficult, merely the most time consuming.

Anyways, back in the day DNA was in fact the easiest. We were getting 1000 sampling xp for each one of the creatures we crafted and then sampled from. It worked wonders, we'd sit there and craft 20 creatures and then sample them out. BING. 20,000xp.

Ah well.

Yep yep yep... those were the good old days. I think I had DNA Sampling 4 before getting to the 2nd tier in any other skill.

Nah, as a former BH, and current Master BE, DNA sampling is easy compared to the Investigation line. I also hear really bad things about Merchant XP.

As far as merchant, it really depends where you put your vendors. Pair up with a good, popular mall-type places and xp will be fairly fast. Did for me anyway.

Merchant xp is terrible. At least compaired to what it was a month ago. Now merchant xp is 150xp per hour per vendor. You could get a little xp if you charge each person to enter your shop.

A friend took merchant for me, to help sell my Bio-Goods. Its been almost two weeks and she is only 3,0,0,3 with 5 vendors.

I Mastered BE before the changes to sampling happened. DNA Sampling was actually the first skill that reached level 4 for me. Seemed the easiest to me at the time. Sorry to hear everyone is having such a slow time of it now

I mastered BE the other day, and i agree with you. DNA sampling is the hardest. Your mind gets so low (in game) that if any creature attacks you you're dead anyway. and 1000 sampling xp??? woah, i only got 200 xp at a time...

Actually you shouldn't have that much respect for vetern masters since we were around when each clone gave around 800 exp each and dna sampling those clones gave you around 1263 dna sampling experience for each success

Yeah, most of the old BE's managaed to snap to IV because of that little feature. I never used that road though...*Ahem*


It's not so bad now, but it helps if you have a crate or five of muon gold. Maybe even a buff or two.


The easiest thing if you can afford the materials is to simply grind away at micronutrient supplements, managed to get CE III in less than half a daywith that.
