Big creatures tend to drop most. It's related (as I understand it) to creature level and probably also to your harvest ability.
Pikets, faamba, malklok (I think) all do OK.
There may be a change to the rate you gather in the near future, but yep, milking IS boring.
Maskscent and /peace. WALK up to the creature, (I always approach on it's blind side but it makes next to no difference really) then click the radial and walk 'inside' the body space of the creature.
They will warp. They will leap 40m in the air. Dunno.
Sometimes if you /pet before you milk they'll lie down, and of course, in a herd, go for the ones that are lying down first.

And although you can get milk FROM a nightsister you cant MILK a nightsister. This is very important.

The easiest/quickest way I've found to harvest milk is to head to Kadath, Naboo and get a couple of Fambaa (70-124unitsper MOB)missions in the same direction. Milk one lair, drive to the 2nd mission lair and milk it, come back to the 1st lair and milk that one again...etc.Usually you'll see a wild spawn around there as well, which is just an added bonus. This method works well because you keep the2 mission lairs throughout yourharvesting; no searching, no buffs, no aggro's, just pure "milkin' fun". Using this method, I've collected just under 13K units of milk in roughly 3 hours...granted I found 2 wild lairs within 100m of one of my mission lairs, but it's possible!
Hope this helps.

Don't you need a big (solo) group to get Fambaa missions? I think you can proll'y do the same with Pikets on Dant or Bolle Bol on Endor without a big group.

Pikets should give 100 units AS A MINIMUM thats BS getting ONLY 66 units I almost died when I saw thats all I got from 1 piket. AND theres no change the piket longhorns give the same milk as regular pikets WTH!

Endor is the best... You get to milk cats. 
Nothing says Ranger like camo'ing up, walking up to some naster aggro red mob and milking them.

Wasnt there something on the test center notes that the milk harvest was increasing? I really really thought there was. I guess we have something else to test.

Oh yeah, I had totally forgotten that I was grouped with one of those MO solo groups, so I think you're right. As you mentioned, the same technique could be used with Pikets or Bolle Bols as well. Thanks for bringing that up.

I usually let the animal warp away once.... if it does it a second time... I headshot2 it a few times. Forget the milk.... harvest the meat... use it as an object lesson for the rest of the herd.
