Bio Engineer Archive

Tried to milk pikets today after the patch, I got an average of 135-155 milk per milking session, this with the new egg upgrade makes me think that SOE realized that they have this lost profession called Bio....

Master Bio Engineer--Flurry

I've only milked one creature so far, but it was a bolle bole female and gave 166 milk. Not bad.

I'm currently grinding BE and went to Dathomir shortly after training up DNA III. Within 1k of the Trade Outpost, I hit two Brackaset lairs. Both had two or three females a piece. I milked over 1K of total milk and was able to search for around 50-75 units of eggs between the two lairs (I ended up with a total of over 100 eggs, but that included a spider lair and a malkloc lair as well). Between the milk and eggs, the DNA XP, and the meat I got when I drew aggro from a spider queen and had to kill her, I'd say it was a pretty successful outing.

This BE grind is a real pain in the arse, but boy is it fun! I'm grinding CH too, so I craft pets and then train them up and release them for the CH XP. I had a backpack full of pet deeds I ended up having to give away to make room (another guildie grinding CH as well).

I do have one question though... if I sample a creature to death (say a rancor for instance) I can't harvest it, but will I be able to loot it (rancor bile, rancor teeth, etc.)?
