Bio Engineer Archive

I dunno. I had high level merchant skills for a while, and the planetary add part was nice, but that was about the only thing in that tree that I thought had much value. I found it very easy to drop, lol.

For a long time I also had some "gimped" combat skills on my BE/tailor toon (something like carbine 4 + ranged support 3 +novice carbineer) and what I found was that although it was occasionally fun to go out and shoot things, my combat skills with this level of skill point investment were really too weak to do any serious hunting, particularly solo. I could go out and get a stack of 250 meat when I wanted to, but that simply didn't make a whole lot of difference in terms of being able to provide my own materials. I suppose in hindsight I could have gone to dath every other day and yelled "PLZ ADD ME TO RANCOR GROUP" and come home with a rancor meat and hide, but even that is of limited use (carnivore meat being one of the least useful to a BE) and I find that so mind numbingly boring that I just can't bring myself to do it. I'd almost rather grind MNS then do that, lol.

So I'd just say that if you want to achieve some degree of self sufficiency in terms of harvesting creature resources, plan on getting considerable skills in an elite combat class. The TKA or swoardsman thingy seems to be the uber flavor of the month these days. But just dabbling in combat really isn't all the effective.
