An Intro: A few weeks ago I decided to go BE. Learned the 4 Medic skills in one afternoon crafting stims in practice mode, and have fairly quickly gone to 2-1-4-2 in the BE tree. I am also using this new skill set to help me in my quest to get my MCH title back.

Some details: I died about 6 times on my first trip to Endor to get better samples/xpwhile getting the DNA skills out of the way. This got me thinking that I could make a few macros to really help me get what I needed and not die as much. I will include those later in the post, and also tell you that there are a few things you SHOULD have on you at all times...

1) A crate of some sort of Spice or Food, or a combination that give you a LARGE mind boost.

2) A good Speederbike, and another one as a backup - just in case.

3) Lots of space in your inventory and backpack.

4) A crate of some good Stim Packs to keep yourself healthy in the Action pool while sampling.

5) A crafting Droid so you can create things (like simple pets to train forCH experience) while having downer times.

6) A GREAT set of +25 Mask Scent and +25 Camoflage bio-enhanced clothes.

7) A Med Droid and some Health and Action Stims so you can heal yourself after death if you did not clone/insure yourself and meet an untimely demise.

8) A crate of basic camp kits to sit and craft in, or call autostored vehicles, etc.

RANDOM TIP #1: Migrate your HAM to give your self extra MIND. I play a human with 650 in Health and Action and 1100 or so in mind... This helps downers go by more quickly, and has kept me from passing out when they hit. LOL.

RANDOM TIP #2: While leveling the DNA skills, go to the wilder planets like Endor, Dathomin, Dantooine, etc and take DNA from animalswhose namesappear yellowto you - using the macros I will include below. Heck, this works after you level them too... =)

OK - on to the macros:

A) The first one is a simple way to fix a broken mask scent after speeding away from whatever just broke it and aggroed you. Pretty simple really, but I use it A LOT! After you have gotten far enough away to get out of combat, simply target your vehicle, stop it,and run this:

----------------------------

/dismount;

/pause 1;

/follow;

/pause 1; (You may want to raise this to 2 or 3 because you sometimes get thrownfrom your vehicle...)

/maskscent;

/pause 1;

/mount

----------------------------

B) The second is my favorite. It allows you to go up to whatever you want to sample DNA from and quickly start the process and be ready for an instant escape if needed. It has saved my life at least 25 times since I wrote it a week or so ago. AND, I can get 50 or so samples in 15 minutes or less using this while targeting the animal I want to sample from: (Be sure you have stopped moving before you use this to keep you from getting stuck 50 meters from your target and your vehicle.)

----------------------------

/dismount;(I actually put the name of my vehicle in this line but I think it will work without it.)

/pause 1;

/sampleDNA;

/pause 1;

/mount

----------------------------

YOU CAN MAKE VARIATIONS OF THIS TOO. For example to include a quick heal:

----------------------------

/dismount;(I actually put the name of my vehicle in this line but I think it will work without it.)

/pause 1;

/sampleDNA;

/pause 1;

/healwound; (I am writing this from memory, so this might not be the exact command, but you can look it up.)

/pause 1;

/mount

----------------------------

RANDOM TIP #3: Take two missions, one to the North or South and another either East or West from that direction. EG. N & NE - take 2 Piket missions. Go to the first one, get samples without hitting the lair.Go to the second one, get samples without hitting the lair. Go back to the first one which has reset and repeat - back and forth until your inventory is full and it's time to do some crafting.

RANDOM TIP #4: Always checklairs for Eggs, and Milk every animal in the spawn that can be milked before sampling them. I got 2.5k of milk in just a few hours this way the other night.

RANDOM TIP #5: Havea satchel of some sort in your inventory to drag Eggs and Milk to as you collect them. This will cause them to stack neatly, allowing you to keep as much space free as possible for DNA sampling. Note, this satchel can also be used to stack Fish, Mollusks, and Crustaceans!

RANDOM TIP #6: If you are interested in CH XP, craft pets during your downer times. This will give you BE crafting experience, and give you pets to tame and teach. You only get 100 XP per command taught, but BE pets learn EVERYTHING the first time, so it's a very quick process. I made 110,000 CH XP in one night this way. Simply the BEST way to get CH XP there is.

That is all I can think of right now... I am sure there is more, and if anyone likes this post, I will try to post more.

Enjoy,

I was hoping for macros to help with grinding tissues but I suspect I can steal those from other crafting professions. Good info though, thanks.

/ui action toolbarSlot00 (these are where your crafting tools will be)

/selectDraftSchematic 00 (this #will vary, you will have to experiment to find the correct number)

/pause 6

/nextCraftingStage

/nextCraftingStage (I always put in another it is in case you have to be near a crafting station to make your item)

/createPrototype practise noitem (you dont have to put in the practise noitem part of this field, if you dont your inventory will fill up)

/createPrototype practise noitem

/pause 1

/ui action toolbarSlot01 (this is the next crafting tool)

/selectDraftSchematic 00

/pause 5

/nextCraftingStage

/createPrototype practise noitem

/pause 1

repeat, repeat.

If you want to loop it add F#slot to the last line of the macro. In this case I put the macro at the end of the first line so it would repeat

/ui action toolbarSlot11 (this will loop the crafting session if you macro is in slot 11)

Another useful command is

/dump

This will stop the crafting macro.

Hope this isn't too confusing.

You asked for crafting tips, so here you go!

To craft tissues for BE XP, I have created 4 generic crafting kits myself, and put them in the F1-F4 slots on a toolbar. I can then craft anywhere, anytime using my crafting droid. The nice thing about that droid is that it does not allow you to experiment, so you do not have to deal with that extra step. (Just do not be too close to a public crafting station, as that can affect this.)

To have the scenario I am going to describe work effectively, I do the following to set things up:

1) Put single low overall quality "flora" and "meat" stacks in my main inventory. (With lots of backups in my backpack.)

2) Craft one bio-cloth (I forget it's name, but it is on the first level - stops bleeding) and carefully align all the windows as they come up so that the "next" stage buttons are all in the same exact place on the screen. This is so that next time I craft, I can just keep clicking in one spot and go from window, to window, to window...

3) Make sure you have set to "practice" mode since this gives a little more XP and will not fill up your inventory with junk you don't want or need.

Now, hit F1 and choose the bio-cloth tissue you just set up for and repeatedly click on the meat until the two meat slots are filled, and repeatedly click on the flora until that slot is filled as well. Then, repeatedly click on the "next" button area until all the windows that come up for the rest of that particular crafting session have been dispatched.

As soon as the last windows disappears, hit F2 and repeat. When it's last window disappears, hit F3. Same for F4, an by the time it's last window goes away, the first crafting kit is done with it's session and you can start over with F1. I got 15,000 XP in about a half hour doing this today. I have actually found it to be faster than using a macro, and can do it while getting healed in a cantina, waiting for a shuttle, waiting for a muon gold downer to subside, etc... It's a really easy way to get this type of XP without as much effort as it might seem that it would take.

I hope that helps someone! =)

Hey guys...

I've been giving this a try after I heard something about it and it seems to work. I've been sampling nightsister rancors (best tissues are from Grodo) and I kept getting killed after tediously sneaking up on them and trying to sample them. Somewhere in the forums it said something about /pet, /nuzzle, /encouraging your pets and getting a positive response. I also know from hanging around in cantinas that /cheer produces a positive affect. So I made a macro. I'm not very good with macros so please improve on it. After I mask myself and crawl prone to the deadly creature, I stand up and hit my F1, which is:

/sampledna;

/sit;

/encourage;

/pet;

/nuzzle;

/cheer;

As I was sampling a Nightsister Enraged Bull Rancor (in which I still haven't been able to sample) he never argoed on me. Grodo stomped over to where I was and I hit my macro while he was facing me and I got my sample and he died and I was mad. I'd been there all day workin my way to the bottom of the pit and ALL I GOT WAS ONE FRICKIN SAMPLE. But try this and tell me if this macro is working for you on agroes. If you want to really get good samples maybe you want to put a pause and stand then do a repeat. I dont suggest it on mean critters because you still might be detected and killed.
