Originally Squad Leader XP was calculated on the following formula: (Combat XP earned by the SL) * (#of people in group) * 2 = Squad Leadership XP.

The new formula is a bit of an unknown but basically it is: (Combat related XP earned by the entire group) * (#of people in group) * (some as yet unknown multiplier that is likely to change in the future) = SLXP

Basically this means that the larger your group is, and the more your group is killing, the more xp you'll earn. The current rate of xp gain is really too fast at this point, so expect it to be reduced at some point in the future...but the basic formula should stay the same.

From my experience, pets and faction pets do act to increase the group size mutlitplier, but you will not get credit for damage done by them, unlike a regular player. When grouped with just one pet I, get about 2x my combat xp. When grouped with 1 pet and three faction pets I get about 80% of my rifle xp.

But this is still a relatively slow way to level compared to group with 5 or 6 players and pets. On one hunt, I was getting about 20k per kill the group made, regardless of whether I did any damage. The biggest limiting factor currently is the xp cap. In a big group hunting tough mobs, you will likely hit the cap several times in night, that is if you can find someone to train you. Often, Im the only Squad Leader on Dantooine.

I agree with Thulium on this point, xp rate should and will likley be changed when the Devs give some attention to Squad Leaders. When that will actually occur is another matter.

Good luck.

Still leaves me with 2 questions.....

1. Is there a macro one can set up to browse a vendor?

2. Do you only get exp once every 10 min for browsing vendors in a certain location, or once for each vendor every 10 min?

Gracias
