Does higher tinkering or anything like that help with bio sampling? It really seems to me like something was adjusted since my first 2 pets I made in my newbness. Since than I have blown thru every vial and organic I have found or bought, all for not. Got to be near 100 or so broken with no success.

When i started, I made 2 pets relatively easy, using DNA from things like Royal Steads,Bridge Trolls and those sentries by Tinker Dungeon. I died alot and lost alot of vials but in the end I was able to make a couple pets without a week of frustration.

Since than I have found it is near impossible, to the point I have pretty much given up on bio engineering. My last go round I accumulated 21 vials and broke every single one of them without getting a single sample from a Bridge Troll. For awhile I was blaming the RNG but I dunno, it CAN`T be this bad.

Don`t get me wrong, I am not complaining. I just have had 2 entirely different experiences with DNA sampling in a short time and have to think something has changed. Did it?

Does higher Tinkering (since you need the skill as part of bio engineering) help in any way in bio? Does higher taming or Lore? Does anything?

Right now I am at:
138 Tame
139 Lore
129 Vet
100 Tinker<<<This is the issue, you need at least 120 skill or more!
I am 3200 Luck when sampling and always eat till I`m full.

Like I say, I am not complaining or looking for EZ mode. I have just had 2 hugely different experiences, the latter is still lasting. I thought i`d stop trying to gather from Royal Steads and go for the easier target of Bridge Trolls.....after breaking 21 vials and no Troll sample..... I am of the feeling something is not right.

Thanks for reading and if it applies, thanks for the reply.


The min skill to be successful is 120 Tinker, many players try yo get 200+ skill.  Also high luck and eating helps the success

I thought tinkering helped when sampling.

Awesome!


I must have just gotten seriously lucky with my first 2 pets. Gave me a false sense of "normal" I think haha


Just got home from work, time to log in and train that Tinker up than!


Many Thanks  ;D

with my bio experience i would say having 120 in tinker,animal lore, and taming is pretty much all the skill u need.. the rest i find is having a high luck like 3500 to 4k.. ive tried having 240 tinkering on with about 1k luck and i failed and failed and failed some more.. when it came to making a pet i failed soo many times and didnt even get many pts to spend as if i used 2400 luck.. I also notice luck gives you a higher chance of not breaking vials when sampling.
