I had orders for 4 (ugh!) CL 70 critters so I went back to Dath again last night, then to Endor.  Got very very very lucky and was able to get 5 mutant rancor samples (enough to make 2 creatures) then on Endor got a bunch of BMB and BMBQ samples.  I tweaked the combine a little bit to use a BMBQ sample in place of BMB in the prowess slot and I'm actually pretty happy with the results so I thought I'd post them here.
             combine #1                                                                   
         MR- BMBQ - BMB - BMB- MR                  
hard           714                                           
fort             702                                           
dex            682                                      
end            511                                         
int              664                                          
cle             503                                            
dep            645                                          
cour           428                                          
fier             422                                        
pow           698                               
arm           light

eng            55                                            
bla             V                                              
hea            93                                            
cld             33                                             
elec           93                                            
acid           26                                                            
stun           20                                               
sp1            -      (second time came out with stun, odd)                                       
sp2          dizzy                                
==================
             CL  69
 
This translates to a HAM that is just a bit under 13k and damage that is just a bit under 600.  One nice thing about this formula is that you can max out all your experimentation point into HAM and damage and feel pretty safe that you'll end up under CL 70.  I did this combine twice, had no failures in experimentation (I'm starting to become a confirmed Bespin Port junkie, hehe), used every point, and came up with CL 69 both times.

What does a 100% Droid translate to related to private crafting stations? I have a 37% I am using right now when I want great results.

In my (quite limited) experience, raising the power raises cl faster than anything else.

Here's an amusing snipit of conversation between a customer and me while I was crafting using my droid.

Me: "RATS!"
Cutstomer: "What?"
Me: "Oh.... I just got an Amazing Success."
Customer: "But that's a good thing, isn't it?"
Me: "Not when you are trying to create a NCH mount."
Customer: "Oooo. Good point."

Just a small revisit...

I experimented for a few days with the MR, MR, FG, FG, MR and was able to make a 14k ham, CL 70 pet with 580-590 attack.  I made a gurrek with it and tamed it for my private stash.  So far I've been very pleased with its performance.

I generally use MR for the first 4, and Surefoot Brackaset for the 5th slot. The surefoot will "breed up" several resists and I have made a couple of excellent CL 70's using this combination.

I have done 70's with Bull Rancor and Merek Harvester also, though it is a tough stretch to experiment them carefully enough, and I think the CL was based more on damage and speed/to hit than on HAM.

Pahbi, I got to browse your vendor last night after dropping off a cat for one of your guildies, and you have some nice critters there, some good work went into those.

I think it's a real shame BE's aren't able to experiment things down as well as up.  There have been many times when I've just known I've gone one too far when the stat jumps a lot more than I thought it should.

We're about the only crafting school that would want to do this though, so I guess it won't happen in my SWG lifetime




Meroc, all med types have the experiment things down.  At least in a way.  They have an experimental stat for "med use".  If the med use is too high, there is a chance they can't use it (depending on their use skill).  I don't don't see why be's can't have a stat for CL that can be experimented down the same way.  This would give you a chance to get an added bonus from using the really good stuff to make your pets.

I don't think you should be able to experiment them down alot, but it should be enough to be noticable.  We don't want the uber pet problems we used to have.  Maybe a limit of 3 CL points or something.  So you can make a cl 48 down to a cl45.

Gahhhh, where in the world did you find Frenzied Grauls to sample?  I've put up an open bounty of 25k for any waypoints to live Frenzied Grauls, and nobody's been able to find them.  I've been across Dantooine twice now it feels like, and still nothing.

Thanks LLan. 

I've been kind of burnt out on SWG lately so I haven't put many new pets on there, I hope you had a chance to look at page 2, as there are close to 150 pet deeds on the vendor.

I would say 95% of the pets on the vendor are what I call conversions.

I've been a MCH since about the 8th week of release.  Basically I just go out in the wild and look at creatures that I wish I could tame, then I take 5 samples, slap it together and make a pet from it.  I really don't do a lot of combines, I just find a critter, take 5 samples and POOF, there's a pet to put on the vendor.

The most popular sells are the pets made with 5 frenzy graul dna samples, then the 5 bark mite burrower queen pet and the MR, MR, MR, MR, RY formula pet.

The logic I use is if I wish I could tame a creature, then I bet there are other MCHs who wish the same thing.  So I fill that role.

Can someone give me a direction on where I can find some FG? I know it might be in Dantoonie but most of what I found are Gurals or guarl maulers.  I will got get some FG samples and see I can do the CL70 with Kinetic over 55. Thanks in advance.

About 3 months ago (on Bria) you had a really really good chance of finding Frenzied Grauls just simply by wandering in the to the south and to the west of the imperial outpost on Dant.  Go say 2k south, then if you haven't found any go 2k west, and then 2k back north and you were almost sure to find some somewhere in there.  Things have changed a lot since then.  About all I can suggest is wake up real early some morning (as soon after the server reset as you can) and go check those areas.  I think that's your best chance at finding them.

On Chilastra the only time you can get frenzied graul spawns is in the morning after a server reset.

I had some good success this past week sampling Mutants.  You can check www.swgcreatures.com for a search option on mobs.
