Game Mechanics Several events can occuring during a dna sampling attempt: Player succeeds in getting a dna sample and nothing happens. Player succeeds in getting a dna sample and the mob aggroes. Player succeeds in getting a dna sample and the mob dies. Player fails to get a sample and nothing happens. Player fails to get a sample and the mob aggroes. Note: Once an animal aggroes from dna sample the chance of it aggroing again is increased. Note: If a creature dies while sampling, players CANNOT extract resources from it. The radial option is removed from slain sampled creatures. Note: If a player's inventory is full when attempting to sample, the sample event will always fail. DNA Sampling Success Rate The events encountered while sampling work in some cases, in proportion to the player's DNA Sampling skill modifier value. The exact formula and mechanics for this are unknown but I will try to offer some input on what is known and then make proposals for the elements that have no supporting data. There are 3 elements that are handled during a dna sampling: Failure to obtain a sample Chance of aggression due to the sample attempt (regardless of outcome) Chance of mob death due to a successful sample attempt Source References Source Source in Context
