I'm sitting at 3 3 3 3 and i was wondering the fastest way to level at this point. I have been taming a lot of creatures but i haven't been out hunting much since the patch. Has anyone found a great way to level or should i just keep going with the babies.

In my opinion 2 weak monsters are the best way to go, I have very little luck finding babies these days as opposed to when I used to play.


I use 2 Cu Pas usually and go around slaughtering newbie areas. Sometimes I also use a Cu Pa and a more powerful monster to slaughter tougher monster to get more exp for the Cu Pa

Unfortunately that method does not work any more. You can still have 2 pets out but will only get the XP for one of them.

I'm not sure if the baby trick works anymore either. I thought XP was calculated using the adult CL of the pet you are using?


Also, if I am using a lower CL and a higher CL pet in tandem, which one determines the XP amount? I can't really test this myself since I'm maxed. Anyone have any info?

You may get 2 sets, but added together, are they double the amount you get with1 pet, or is each amount 1/2? The patch notes said that you would get XP divided by the number of pets you have. So, 3 pets x 100xp = 1 pet x 300xp.


Perhaps test it out and see if you get the same amount with one pet, or if you get 2x cuz originally you get 1/2 per pet.

fanshot makes all the difference. But...

Keep in mind it's situational, and you can't just run about mindlessly spamming fanshot and be successful, you need to create combat situations in which fanshot is beneficial.

your specials are situational (granted, as pistoleers that means we get 2 situations: fan shot or --insert any other semi-functional or broken special here--), and as such, you want to create tactical situations where you can take advantage of your strengths.

It will be different for someone with CH and someone with out CH.... it will be different if you group or solo... The stickies at the top of the page have a wealth of good info. If you haven't already been thru them I suggest you take an hour or so.

I am currently a BH, but I'm soon dropping it. I am sick of not having any skillpoints. I currently have about 360k pistol xp and 170k combat xp. I know I can get the first 2 in the Special Abilities tree. What tree should I go up first in the others? Is it really worth it to get fanshot as quickly as possible? I can get novice and 1 other skill right now. Thanks for any help.

I'm a 1/0/2/4 BH. The LLC has been awesome for hunting, but is the scatter better for PVP...even with my current skill level?
