I'm trying to grind Bio-Engineer and am having difficulty finding up to date information about the best way to get to the Master box. I'm having trouble in 2 areas:
1. What should I craft for Med Crafting XP? I found a few guides here that say start with constrictor cloth, but can't seem to find that on my schems. I am currenly 0211 in BE, what should I focus on?
2. Is there some table to follow for successful DNA sampling? I am CL80, but I can't seem to get a successful sample from anything over CL25 or so. Dewbacks (CL21ish) have been my best XP so far at 260 per success, but they are hard to find and I can't pull missions on them because of my CL80. What are the best animals to sample from to get each box? Or is it solely based upon CL of the player and the DNA Harvesting mod (+30 for me now).

Good for you on the grind to MBE. I did the grind before CU - that is why "constrictor cloth" is old info. We picked
constrictor cloth because it used the least amount of resources and it all gave you the same xp.
I would look at your schematic optons and choose whichever takes the least amount of resources.
I was also (on another toon) a master doc that did the grind with ABEC's (advanced biological effect controller) If that is an option, they still might be the best thing to grind and give you the most bang for your buck. When I did it the first time the

ABEC was 86 points of xp vs. 36 all others.
As far as DNA samplilng goes, I live on lok - and sampled snorbals and gurks. and would get a good amount of xp points from them (they dont DB and mostly non-aggro), unlike the low level optons from naboo.... as you level up, you will be able to sample the higer level critters with less difficulty... so you just have to tough out the first box or so. .... 2 cents from a professional noob. and master incappee.
I enjoy gazing at the stars... wating out my incaps.. .... reallly.

I finally got done with the grind. I'm 4434 BE, and about 1/3 of the way through Sampling IV.
I ground out the Med XP on Broad-Spectrum Somethings until I got the Edible Nano Somethings . The last thing gave 199 XP per practice craft. I went through a lot of grind materials.

Outside the city until I, then wild squill and dewbacks up to II. They are CL17 and were giving 200+ XP. For level III I went to Kashyyyk. The bathas, Bolatours, and veractyl all give 250-330 XP, are all over the place, and are easy to kill if you upset them. I'm having alittle difficulty on Box IV. Kash works fine, but Endor has some nice XP (450ish) for level 30-40 creatures. I just get aggroed all the time and my success rate is terrible.
Is there any food that increases Sampling Success Rate?
And does anyone know where to find a guide to crafting Bio Clothing, especially for Wookiees?
Thanks.
