Which stats are good if im aiming to make cl 10s?


cl 12s?


others?


Any ideas or hints/tips that you have gathered over your time as a BE on making recipes and picking creatures to sample/combine. Thank you all!







1. Well for starters,for low level CL pets you want to look for things with lots of vulnerabilities. Obviously a High Kin is good, and needed,but for most other resists,Energyin particular, stay away fromthem unless you are afterthose resists in particular. This is why Merek Harvester goes into so many recipes.


2. The next thing to look foris what specials you want on the creature. This is often personal choice, or customer choice so its hard to be specific, but for low end pets just try and get the DNA from a creature with the specials you need, taking into account point 1.


As a general rule of thumb BE pets are stronger in the ares we want them to be because we create weaknesses in other areas. Once you start seeing ways to 'nerf' certain stats whilst increasing the stats you want you will probably find the CL is dropping too.

Continuing from the posters question I have a sampling question. I am almost a master BE but still when I sample mobs I have about a 1 in 10 chance of agro'ing even the most basic mobs like Durni's or Gnorts. My Mask Scent skill is 113 with explore 4, clothing and jawa beer and this still happens. I can run right next to some of the most agressive mobs in the game but as soon as I start sampling the lowest end mobs in the game I am almost guarentee to get attacked, and that chance increases drasticly the more agressive the mob I'm sampling, and as all BE's know, we tend to spend a lot of time sampling agressive mobs lol.

So, is this a bug or problem with the BE profession as a whole or will it decrease when I hit master? (by the gods I hope so.) Thanks ahead of time



Fix the forums so they work properly with Firefox! PLEASE!

There are different levels of 'success' when sampling a creature


It is possible to 1. get a sample, 2. get a sample and aggro, 3. not get a sample and 4. not get a sample and aggro. I believe this is unrelated to Maskscent skill.


Chance for a good success willincrease with Master, however still expect to aggro a lot, particularly with nastier creatures like Mutant Rancors.If you do not have a good combat profession expect to hit the cloners frequently when not buffed.

a good idea is to pick up some fencer... which has decent damage output and awesome defense. I am picking up 44xx fencer, so in case you are aggro'd its not too big of a deal, just kill the thing and move on. I have found it handy... and I can harvest my own meat.
