I have the crafting Tree taken care of, but I wanted to know if there is any place where the sampling xp is exceptionally good, right now im just running around getting 100xp off each mob I sample, low level stuff

All helpful information is stickied. Please use the good information that people spent hours collecting.

Gurks on lok are fairly good give arround 310 to 340 xp, but once you get sampling 3, blurgs on endor give about 596 xp per sucsessfull sample. 
good luck.
good luck.-actually gurks have a high sucsess ratio and give good xp, i dont ever remember failing twice in a row and i can't argue with 340 xp per sample...

Honestly, the XP per animal isn't much of a factor at all. Who cares if you can get 1000 xp for an animal, but it takes 1000 tries to get the sample? (Besides the fact that the sample itself might be worth something). Go for animals with a high XP/success rate ratio. Read the stickies.

The one-star bandit. I post a helpful hint and get insulted for it.

I didn't one-star you, but I would like to. "Look at the sticky" is not helpful information. Apparently you have never read the stickies yourself, Rancorpoker, if you think they ARE helpful.
The FAQ and other stickies say, "Sample trash to level 2/3. Thensample pikets on Dantooine." No reasons, no ratio of xp/sucess, nothing. Just "go sample pickets." Can you see why new bio engineers would like a tad more information than that? Out of 10 planets, surely there are more diverse choices...and that was only one person's opinion, at that.
In addition, those FAQ's, though posted less than a month ago, are hopelessly outdated. I'm sure the correspondant did a fine job of copy/pasting all those. I've seen most of those guides on other web sites as I was researching the profession. However, look at all the examples of,"Thisshould be fixed soon" things that are mentioned. In no less than 7 locations, the stickies say, "There is no /sampledna macro so you have to make your own." This is something that HAS, in fact, been fixed. There are numerous references, in the stickies, to fixes "coming out" in November. Of last year....
So while I'm sure the sticklies are helpful, they are certainly not the be-all, end-all encyclopedic answers for a new bio-engineer. It would be more helpful for someone to go through the FAQ's and stickies, and update the information. Ignoring new bio-engineers, calling us newbs, or telling us to "Look at the stickies" is incredibly annoying when, in fact, the stickie are only marginally helpful, since we can't tell what information is still current.
