stay with the pickets, and the females can also be milked. loot the eggs from the layer (needed for tissue).

do this between 2 layers. milk, dan sample, then move or FLEE to the next layer. in 2-3 min, the layer you just killed off due to sampling will respawn. keep going back and forth .

also while you have the dna samples, go and make templetes with them for xp. dont forget to bring your droid with you to craft out in the field

Yeah, pickets are by far the best for DNA Sampling. It is very slow going...

How much DNA sampling xp you get for each? I know sharnaffs are around 350-450 for regular and bulls and I have been doing them and tortons and ravaging tortons and xp is moving pretty quickly.

pikets are crappy xp in comparison to stuff on Endorlike mantrigues that give you 578 (albeit you fail a lot if you aren't IV+) Pikets give you about 190 or so if I recall. Pretty much anything on Endor (not Dathomir as much.. mask scent seems to simply not work on that planet) will give you killer sampling xp. Not to mention non-mission mobs on Endor are 10000x more common than non mission mobs on Dantooine.

-Nah-

Yeah like Romana said I found the Sharnaffs pretty good. Around 350 for the normal ones and just shy of 450 for the bulls. A plentiful supply of them near Coronet and if you are careful on how you tap the layer you can solo the missions quite easily picking up some nice cash

I got from II to IV from doing Bolle Bol missions (6800cr) at level 2. They're 310 xp or something like that. Then at level 3, I started doing 10k fambaa missions and the fambaas give 394 xp. The easiest way to sample quickly and get it over with is to have a vehicle present. If it fails and they agro, jump on your speeder, get about 100m away from the mission then turn around and go right back through the mission and keep hitting peace. That way when they finally leave you alone they're right at the mission lair instead of a few hundred meters away and then you can go back and try again. Make a habbit of sampling and then sitting next to or right under your vehicle. That way you can sit between samples and if you agro something you can stand a mount it instantly.

Fambaas are the way to go if you ask me, but then again you need pets or high combat skill to get the missions. Its a nice way to make quick cash, too.

Once I hit DNA III I moved to Endor and did Crimson Blurrg missions. They give 408xp per sample and they don't deathblow. Missions are worth about 11K cr.

I sampled anything I could find, you can grab stuff that will give you 6-700 XP on Endor. My method was a macro:

/dismount

/sampledna

/mount (vehicle of your choice)

Think I have a 1 second wait between em, can't remember. Always maskscent if you got it and I'd move about 10-15m away which gave me a head start getting my tail out of there if it got ugly

If you want you exp fast and aren't worried about what DNA you get, then go to someplace that has an endless spawn of really low level stuff and sample as fast as you can...grab a few brandy and you'll be finished with sampling IV in no time. I was only getting about 100 exp per sample on grubbers and durnis, but could make many more points in an hour with them than something big that couldn't be one-shotted if it attacked, or when I had to travel from spawn to spawn.

Boring, but fast!

Back in the day I was able to sample my own created critters and get 10k XP...

Glad I mastered BE back then

Get two piket missions on Dantooine in the same direction and go back and forth between them without attacking the lairs. I got about 60k sampling XP in about 3 hours that way. I also got lucky cause both the lairs popped about 100m from each other. they were just enough out of site to respawn and not to far away to allow me to scream at people who stopped to attack.

Oh, and I got a crap load of good milk while I was at it.
