ha ha, fooled you! its not just about a recipe! (no no keep looking there is one here!)

should be called 'Hunting on endor, custom orders, MCH dual pet recipe, what it means to really be a Master Bio-engineer and... goodbye'

starting at the begining then; i'm on Eclipse

interesting yet useless fact (in eclipse there are pets available at CL 10, 60% kin and 10k ham, and for another few CL you can buy one with armour - how does that figure? i have no idea, but they reportedly sell for 3.5mill)

I got a custom order from a MCH for two Razor Cats, to be used as a pair (combined level of 70)

each with high ham, light armour, 60% kin and one with str poison/disease and one with kd/dizzy

after a week of work (mostly planning) i went to endor (fantastic place, especially to power level ranger)

and after 30 or so clones, i have deduced this formula for creating said pets at CL 32 - 38, with armour, 60% kin and 10k avg ham

this does require, in order to get the specific specials, some potentially 3rd generation cloning

and it does get harder and harder as all merek harvestors eventually die off to the point where Rangers are pulling their hair out.

you will need; for a CL~35 ish clone; (with str/poison str/disease)

1 x merek harvestor

3 x arachne hatchling

1 x merek death head

experiament on all except agression.

this creates your first gen clone, for use in the next one's agression slot

next;

4 x merek harvestor

1 x resampled clone

experiament on only psycology to max, and physique until you get light armour

combine and you should have a suitable clone, if not, resample it and use that sample in the agression slot (provided it has the correct specials) and try stage 2 again.

to get kd/dizzy replace the 1st clone's death head with a sample from a kd/dizzy pet (blood stained mereks and others will work)

i got a pair of these at level 32 and 36 for the order

they do have vunerabliites to a lot of PvP weapons, especially energy, but they soak up 50k(i think)minimum PvE damage, and can be used as a pair, so theres little difficulty in selling them.

hope you like that.

and, interestingly enough, and linking back to my starting comments, one of the accidental byproducts of this work was a 10k ham, 58% kinetic CL13 pet, (among others). this totally screws with my perceptions of what was possible, and i believe that the guy i mentioned above actually has some kind of formula for reproducing these kinda pets legit, like. If only he (or she) wasn't a spammer i might respect them even more. Plus if i can develop this more to lower the CL a notch or two, i can undercut them by 3 mill!

What it means to be a Master BE... or master of any profession for that matter. Anyone can title themselves as Master BE for example, but do they really deserve that title? I know don't really, i'd say more like expert or experianced BE. I met another MBE on endor, (who obviously thinks the same, cos he kept his title as 'Breeder'), and he, by his own admission couldn't create non-ch pets with over 1k ham. Who really deserves the 'master' titles? they should be waaay harder to get.

And while i'm on a rant, i'd like to say something about scout, maskscent and ranger.( I'm novice ranger now, and i got 50k scouting exp just for flying around endor for a day on maskscent - but thats going ot) Pretty essential skills don't you think? The MBE i met on endor i came across was lying prone on the floor about 15m from the mereks i was also after. First thing he says was don't disturb the mereks, which i can totally understand. He told me that he couldn't move without maskscent breaking and agro. Which i found very amusing considering i was ranger with +141 maskscent from my clothing so i ran up to the mereks, dna'd them, got a sample and slapped them, then ran back to my MBE chum. Just to show off really. Sure enough, when he moved they agro'd and chased himoff, and although i tried to lead them away by shooting them, i only got one on me (there were two i think, maybe more) As predictable, i outpaced the merek and drew him away, but alas the others caught and mutilated my friend (i wish i could remember his name) Anyone who hasn't got ranger, get ranger or at least 4040 scout.

oh and i last thing? goodbye...

saying adios to Bio-Engineer, i'm fed up with not being able to kill anything harder than a kaadu. i'm gonna be lame and stack my combat professions because i'm fed up of the devs making 90% of the game unavilable or too hard to explore with any kind of crafting monkey profession. i think i've reached a peak (or at least the top of a small slope) with BE and i'm quite happy to go on and drop it. i want sociable stuff ,i want to kill stuff and i want to participate in the monthly stuff the devs release. i have a lot of pent up fury and every creature that has ever turned on me whilst sampling is going to get a scythe up their butt.

and the devs suck, they allow creatures to teleport or vanish mid sample, missions to dissapear half way through them, and their only concept of making stuff harder is to create SUPER BATTLE DROIDS with 150k ham, HUGE resists, Medium armour and buff destroying single shots. is there no better way to make stuff hard than to make it impossible? then wonder why everyone stacks TKM and all possible melee together.

if you can't beat em....

thank you for reading, please rate me 5 stars
