Thread: Max CL Sample-able?
since then? I haven't heard of any success, but the changes to the CL system have created mobs in the CL76-80 range, which was formerly a gap in wild CL's.
if someone were stubborn, and liked the view from inside a cloner, they might want to give 'er a try.
Running misisons to try and boost the hardiness of the sample, we used various characters to group with my BE. Level 80 missions (bantha) were not sample-able - I tried and tried and didn't get any samples. Level 75 bantha were just barely. They took a lot of work to sample them and they keeled over dead after one or two samples.
Mission animal DNA acts weird in a template anyway. I didn't find it was worth it.

I doubt it was just luck... before the CU, clone deeds that exceeded CL75 couldn't be resampled, either. however... the CU has changed many things, and before we can categorically state that CL75 is the current (post-CU) cap, I think we ought to die trying... at least once in a while, if we're bored.
well....I HAVE died trying and I have basically concluded 75 is the cap. I went with a guildie to talus, dath, dantooine, and endor, pulling lvl 80 missions and out of around 300 sample attempts, and a bunch of trips to the cloner (too many to count) I didn't et 1 sample, from wild creatures or mission spawned ones. I did however get some samples from lvl 75 Brackasets 
However I noticed that without around +50 in mask scent clothes...it was dang near impossible to sample a rancor. I tried coming frombehind, the side, crawling, swooping in, proneing in, all sorts and was detected nearly 100% of the time. I was disappointed but then a guildie gave me some old rancor DNA samples and I made a sweet pet with 708 max dmg and 11k HAM.
Thats my experience anyways

MR's are CL 76 and unsampleable now
And trying to get close enough to sample rancors isn't easy. I used the trick of getting close enough to target them, make a waypoint, going ouot far enough they would despawn, swoop back in, dismount and wait for them to spawn. It worked about 50% of the time. If you don't use any kind of special, they don't always DB.....of course the 3 incap rule still applies.

you can exceed the cap with food (jawa beer) and the 'aroma screen' skillstim. +25 is still the cap for skillmods from SEA's and BioE clothing.
