1. How can I determine is creature samplable or not ? Tried to sample bugged stuck Giant Krayt Dragon but failed all attempts.

2. You all talk about "skinning" - so the final form of a creature does not mean anything, either kimo or durni will be same stats, just size matters ?

1 - You can only sample creatures up to level 75. If you are unable to see the level of creature when your examining, you will need to do your research offline. http://www.swgcreatures.com/

2 - The "Skin" does not effect the final stats, but does have a few things to keep in mind.

-Some Skins are considered aggressive creatures, so you just need to make sure your customer has high enough Vicious Creature Taming skill to use it. Currently Non-CHcan not use any Aggressive creatures at all and non-wookiee CH can't use any above 60.

-Some Skins have a minimum level. If you put a level 5 template in a Durni skin will will get a level 5 Durni. If you put the same template in a Kimo, you will get a Kimo with those level 5 stats, but it will be be set to level 40 to tame and control. This is designed, so the higher skilled Creature Handlers have something to work for and not everyone has a Kimo.

-The skin also appears to be effecting the Ranged attacks. Body types, that don't have the ranged animation in the wild, don't seem to be using the ranged attacks. I think this is a bug and hopefully will be fixed soon.

3) Yes you can make a Kimo as a master

4) Yes you can make a Graul as a Master

5-10) Yes you can make a Kimo/Graul as a master

11) The stats on a Graul/Kimo could end up significantly high than they could have potentially been on a lower level frame, the advantage of using a higher level frame is that dna sampled from a higher level clone will come out potentially in the high and very high quality range.

Translation: while its possible to make the big frame pets, its no longer viable, bigger frame pets = more polys to deal with = more lag from my pet = bigger target in pvp = crap compaired to smaller frames(Gurrecks, Razorcats, Nargleths) While if a frame is too small it will have issues with Terrain negotiation, clippling and other issues that relate to Size being too big or to small.

Generally Speaking its best to stick with dog to horse size creatures once you go past a bol/dewback your preatty much gonna regreat it when you have awsome stats in a crap arse frame.
