With our xp being at 3:1 conversion for the village I need some good ideas on spots to go and sample from I have gone to PoI spawns and sampled everything from berserk kahmurras to those dark klikniks warriors to the woolamander gathers and harvestors.

I'd say Endor right off.
Other possiblities are Pikets on Dant, and Gurks on Lok. You can get missions for both without a group, and they are both non-agro.
Endor is probably more fun though. Just sample everything in sight.

Sorry for the hijack. Anyone know the cap on dna sampling? I know, double the last block of sampling xp, but I haven't seen that block in a long time. Thanks.

DNA sampling probably isnt the best way to go for conversion though, since its slow, expensive on your HAM, and boring as heck =)

boring as heck yes droid but other than scouting its all I have sadly. Plus I really really want the luck tree. Thats about the only sense box i'm getting. I figure that with some of the spots I frequent and with some rough calculations I have done I can nail about 30 to 40k xp inside of 1 hr so say about 10k sense xp per hour or so I dredge on I think if I really work on it I can have it nailed down in a week but like you say droid327 it is boring so I have to take breaks already have lvl 1 in luck and have about 170k of the stuff. Rest of the stuff i'm doing combat xp all the way since i'm master rifleman

you have explore 4 and +25 maskscent clothes? You can grind out scouting exp WAY faster than sampling just by flying around on Dath or Endor...

um just wondering...why do you want the luck tree anyway? from what i hear it's either broken or only increases your looting of credits by a miniscule amount...

well i'm hearing mixed report Grozurr I have been in a group of guildies with a person having lvl 4 in luck and he looted 2 premium pearls then we just started looting crap. I think really if you loot something of the creature or kill it the luck plays a small role whether or not it is added loot then further if it is special or not. Don't think it influences exceptional or legendary drops sadly. I have seen an increased amount in the number of credits I have been recieving I also have been getting (no pun intended) "Lucky" with some loots off NPCs. As to whether or not this is testable I don't think so

/agree
Many people dont realise but there is a loot dialog screen that pops on every corpse. If you hold down your cursor and go straight up, there is 'Loot' and 'Loot all'. By default, if you do CTRL + U on a corpse you will automatically loot all. However if you drag the box open it opens up a window and treats the corpse as a container. Basically, anyone who has rights has access to this container and whoever presses CTRL+U basically empties it. IMO picking the luck skill tree is pointless until I see evidence to see otherwise. People who claim to have looted an exceptional weapon should try to show some consistency. Anyone with Luck 4 who consistently loots exceptional loot may have evidence to support their claim, but generally it'sfreak occurences imo.

I used to go to Endor near the Merek Harvester static spawn southeast of the smugglers outpost. From there to about 2500 meters to the east of there I would just wander around looking for high level mereks and blurrgs to spawn. Great xp sampling merek harvesters, mereks deaths heads, and Blurggs. Then when my inventory was full I'd just make dna templates with all the samples, no experimentation. Once I completely filled my inventory I would head to civilazation and make a bunch of pets out of those templates. This way you get some crafting xp along with your sampling xp. I wouldn't experiment on the DNA templates, but by sampling such high level creatures you get some interesting creations. Would throw them on the bazaar for 6K, give some away to random CH's I encountered (CH's need all the love they can get, lol) or just throw them on my vendor.
