OK so here's the deal, I'm lvl 21, 0020CH, 4414BE, and I set out to sample DNA on Dantooine. I picked 2 lvl 19 lesser plain bol missions and started driving to the first lair. When I got there I see the lvl 19 bol's and walk up to one to sample, but the second I tried to sample he turened to lvl 10 Same thing at the second lair... Anyone had this problem befor or should I write a /gur report on it?

We've been seeing this too. I am not sure about this, but it appears to have something to do with city zoning and how far outside the city the lair is. For example, in our town, we placed a mission term right on the very very edge of the town (we are tier 2) and you could see the missions up to your own level on it, whereas by city hall we could only see up to level 60. Actually that isn't quite right - for the 'on-edge' terminal, if you were standing inside our town you'd see level 60 missions, if you went around the back of the terminal so you were outside the town, you'd see the correct mission level.

However, if you took the mission, if you were less than 1200m away from town (guesstimated), it would spawn at the wild level of the animal. Moreover, we are near Mos Eisley- i was going to say the same thing happened if you went in that direction regardless of distance but nobody has bothered to test it.

Creatures seem to change levels depending on where they stand. If you attack a lvl 80 close to its lair, start kiting, and draw it into a lvl 50 lair of the same creature type, I found it surprisingly predictable that the lvl 80 would become a lvl 50 in mid-fight. My guess is the critter you tried to sample was walking into another group of critters?

Dont know about the changing cos of another lair, cos the only lair that was close was another bol lair woth lvl 36 or something, nothing was lvl 10 within 256m.

I was however standing close to a city limit so it might be that.

they were lesser plains bols? LPBs have a wild level of 10, so its a case of reversion to wild level, not a case of absorbing anotherlair's level
