is it still micronutrient or does making pets now gain a respectable amount of exp?



Also did the changes to how DNA is calculated for pet crafting change like they said it would (i.using DNA samples to craft DNA Templates provide exp according to the quality of the DNA)?

The grind is still the same. Because of the time it would take to get the DNA samples to make bagersets or dewbacks its just easier to make Micronutrient suppliments.

And no the xp is the usual 2 times the materials needed

I thought so. I remember their big pitch about how they where going to revamp the DNA exp system blah more smoke, typical.

Yep this is definitely still the best. I'm currently hitting about 500xp per minute on micronutrients, with 3 crafting tools.


I'll get to Master BE yet!!

2 things


micronutrients are the easiest thing for straight grinding.


I would suggest also doing templates. You have to sample DNA for that ladder anyway. Whip those samples into templates (200xp each) Then trade them with another BE who is working their way up. You get 2X the XP if some one else uses your template to make a clone.


Also if you set up your macro's correctly you can grind out 2 to 3 micronutrient packs in between DNA samples.

There is no reason not to make clones while working your sampling up but during downtime and once you get the sampling line maxed the micronutrient thing seems by far the most straight forward quick combine item for xp.

With resources and 3 kits it is easy enough to grind out one or two per play period and the resources needed are in general easy enough to get and non specific.


I have done the droid engineer grind and BE for xp wise seems pretty easy in comparison and needs a fraction of the total xp to level.

I'm currentlya 3/2/4/2 Bio Eng on Bloodfin. After the revamp of the Bio Eng profession, I found that cloning animals with DNA is very good exp. It is based off animal difficulty and resources used to make em.


Two ways I am grinding right now:


Bio-Strength Formula, slightly better xp than micronutrient supplement, but only by a few points. I have a ton of carnivore and herbivore meat from grinding my CH exp fighting mobs, so I use these.


Second way lately I found, now that I've got cloning 3. Making cheap and easy Ronto's. You get about 270 xp per ronto!


The best part is, if you dont practice it, you can keep the ronto in your inventory and sample its dna till it vanishes(like a DNA kill of a creature). So you can keep making DNA templates off the DNA samples you're getting from the Rontos.


Easy way to get a ton of DNA samples, go to Restuss on Rori and hang out just outside of town and prey on the weak mobs for dna samples.


I plan to find out how much xp cloning 4 pets will give me, I should hit it tonight.
