I've just spent 2 hrs dna sampling every freakin cuba & spine flap I could find along with a few spiders (lvl 2-4). Out of those 2hrs I got probably 5 sucesses. The first 3 were on 1 type of animal, think it was a kaadu. The rest of them were the true 2 spread throughout 2hrs.

I'm currently 2/0/0/1 BE. That first DNA box requires 10k xp! In the 2hrs I just did, at 60 or so xp each time, I got 250 some xp. Am I missing something??? I mean wandering for 2hrs to get just a few sucesses is pretty damn crappy. Even for basically novice.

I'm not sure how they calculate the successes or fails when you collect dna, but that's just the way it is sometimes, some days i can spend hours and hours and not get a single dna sample, other days i will fill my bag up in minutes, the first box is always the hardest, it does get easier once you get that first box over with.

This won't help your success rate but it will add a bonus to you sample xp - be sure you get an inspiration buff before you go out to sample. The max buff is 3 hrs and adds a 10% bonus to your sampling xp.

Yeah, thanks guys. Wish they'd just bump the sucess rate up a little overall. I don't mind idea of failing a bit 1 day and doing great another.. But being so low in it it'll be more like get 2 in 2hrs or get 0 in 2hrs... sure that's just my pesimestic way of viewing it, hehehe.
