I have been a BE for about 2 weeks now and plan to stick with it. Right now my stats are at 1-1-3-1.

I was just wondering how to speed up on my other stats. My DNA sampling hasn't been much of a problem but it is just taking me forever to get to the next skills.

I was wondering if you guys just craft creatures or craft the other things to move up your ladder of skills.

If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them. I'm on SWG to be a BE and i will work at it as long as it takes. Just wondering if I can speed up my process a bit.

THANKS to all that respond!

Ialternated between crafting critters (for fun and a change) and grinding Micronutrient (which was a lot faster if you have a ton of meat/cerial, 5-6 crafting kits and a macro )

I use the food beginning Rya-something, it boosts the secondary bars for performing actions, so when you sample you only end up using a tiny amount (which is normally regen'd quickly because its a small amount).

And theres no downer.

What also helps is the buff from musicians. They buff your will and focus, and with a two hour counter and no downer, it cannot be beat

Alternatively, put in some extra points in focus and willpower. When I sample it costs me about 230 mind, 141 when buffed. I have a macro that makes me stand up, pause 1 sec, sample, and sit down again. I can sample and at the same time minimize downtime.

The simple macro would be like:

/st; /pause 1; /sampleDNA; /si

i've been be for about a week and am only 0100, mainly because i haven't bothered to craft with the exception of 3 small critters (a kaadu made from peko dna is a pet anyone would want). i'm waiting to do the majority of my crafting until i get about 200k resources. i'm actually having problems with sampling. i rarely get anything above below average quality, and it takes me about 4 or 5 tries on most creatures to get a sample which just destroys my mind and leaves me open to incaps or death if they agro. any tips?

Given your skills right now, that's pretty standard. The quality of your samples will get better as you climb the sampling tree.

As for sampling draining your mind pool and the possibility of incaps, try using some Muon Gold. It not only boosts your base mind stat but also the substats. You regen mind so fast that it never really drops from full, no matter how fast you sample. Just watch out for the 4-5 minute downer when it expires. The other thing is that burst run is your friend. Always be ready to take to your heels in case of an aggro.

If you have a pet ( a non-CH pet might even work), make sure you don't have a weapon equipted when sampling. If you have the pet on guard and you're aggroed, the pet will attack and start doing damage. It should pretty quickly steal aggro away from you if you're not attacking. Jump on your vehicle/mount, tell the pet to follow and run for it until the mob loses interest.
