I wont take business away from you, dont plan on making one clone. Just curious on what to expect.

thanks

Well if you have the time (and a good source of muon gold), you can probably make it through in a couple days. (took me a week and I wasn't even trying)

What were you sampling?

Well I am in day 4 four sample tree and I amnow atDNA Sampling 3. I have not devoted my time fully to sampling but when plan on heavy sampling I take 2 crates of Muen Gold with me and have spend about 2 or 3 hours running around Endor (mainly because my house is near Theed, only one shuttle trip... otherwise I would choose Dantooine like everyone else). Blurggs, Bolle Bol Stompers and anything else that doesn't have deathblows gets sampled. Usually all creatures give between 250-450xp per sample.

Like one of the guides said, when the Muen wears off, I camp and craft the DNA templates from the samples. And since I also am leveling CH a bit I make something I can tame and teach for extra CH xp.

I started with humbabas and sharnaffs on corellia for DNA I and most of II. Eventually moved to seething bol crushers and pickets on dantooine to finish up. Course, I guess I probably should have qualified my statement by saying that I did it pre-patch (the one that changed sampling). I have been giving some serious thought to giving up my master status for a few days just to go threw the sampling line again so I can better answer questions on how "grind" the line. Not that I support grinding mind you, I just like to be able to answer as many questions as possible. If they eventually allow character transfers, this will definately make my todo list .

Well im almost Sampling 4 now and I can tell you this, the first 2 boxes for me were rough in the respect that they went really slow. Once you hit box 2 its a lot nice then 1 and once you hit box 3, its really nice, worlds better then box 1. In my case I'll actually get through the 80k box 4 much faster then box 1 and 2 becuase your so much more successful.

I support, and actively grind, but I have my own reasons.

First... while I like advancing, I don't like actually *doing* the advancement. I'm happy when I hit master, but I find nothing fun about the road to get there. Personally, i like to get all the advancement out of the way, so I'm where I want to be and can just kick back and actually enjoy the profession itself. But that's me. I din't need the advancement to motivate me to enjoy the profession.

Second... I hate turning people away because they want something I can't do yet. Especially in BE, where there's a darn good chance they *won't* be finding a Master to do it for them any time soon if i can't do it. It makes me sad to have to tell people that.
