With regards to your mask scent question.
1. if the critter is a yellow dot to you - regardless of con level - mask scent won't affect your chances of getting a sample since they will not aggro anyway.
2. if the critter is a red dot to you - and is grey con to you - mask scent won't affect your chances of getting a sample since it will not aggro anyway - UNLESS mask scent breaks and then it will. Recommend not using mask scent if the critter is a grey con to you. Don't get too close to it tho as it will aggro if you step on it.
3. if the critter is a red dot to you - and is blue con or higher to you - you will not be able to sample without a fairly high mask scent bonus. The nearest you will be able to get to the creature is 19m (blue con) which is not close enough to sample (you need to be 15m or less to sample). As soon as you get close - it will aggro on you and try to kill you.
Using ranger - made cammo as a non-ranger does not seem to work at all - at least it did not for me on dathomir. Grouping with a higher level player does nothing to affect how close you can get although it does increase your chance of surviving if it decides to bite you.
IF you have good mask scent - then you will be able to sample most (?) red dot creatures. Every BE has good days and bad days for sampling. Best thing is to persevere and if it is going badly then put your sampling gear away and go do something else. Don't forget to register at the cloners before you go tho - you can expect to die many times - although i have found that level 80 grouping + burst run on aggro with as high medic healing as you can go keeps me alive to try again.
ways to increase mask scent: cammo/mask scent clothing, drinking jawa beer.
