Commands and Abilities Granted

The basic skill modifiers that will accrue over the course of learning the profession is Bio-Engineer assembly and experimentation which relate to the Bio-Engineering crafting requirements and DNA harvesting which plays into the field science portion of the experience.

Once a player acquires the novice BE skill box, they will have to turn their attention to Bio-Engineering crafting experience and DNA sampling experience. The command to sample DNA is /sampledna and some of your first sampling experiences will be amusing as you head just outside of the city limits and start poking creatures to swipe some of their DNA. Start out by approaching until you get within 15 meters of a creature and using the sampling command. Remember not to get farther than 15 meters away before the process is complete or you will lose your sample. If the creature starts moving, do your best to stay within range until the process is complete. Also remember that DNA sampling is level based. You will not be able to sample from creatures higher than your current Sampling level allows. On the crafting side of things, a novice BE can work their way to the crafting skill trees by working on constrictor cloths. Working with the constrictor cloths is a good way to gain Bio-Engineering experience and will take many players up through at least a couple of skill boxes. Remember that if you don't intend to sell the items, you can also choose to use the "practice" mode for the extra 5% experience bonus. Once you reach Tissue Engineering you can also make Micronutrient Supplement. This is a very cost effective way to advance through the crafting levels as it requires very little meat. While you are gaining your sampling experience, don't forget that you can make clones with the samples and sell them on the bazaar. These initial clones will not be very good, but can still be sold for use as decorations in people's homes.
