anyone else think that you should get CH xpwhen your pet helps destroy a lair?

no. way too easy seeing that once the defenders are gone, the lair is undefendable.

i meant like 100 or so, the same amount you get from killing the defenders. taking rebel destroy missions so i can save faction to get some marine armor, and Koopa does a good job killing the imps, but an extra 100 xp from the lair would be nice...

I still think no. It's like getting xp for killing babies

i see your point, but you also do take a big chance when clearing around the lair. i mean if you are going after something risky. so a little incentive for completing that... just my thoughts

No. In beta, you got tons of experience for killing liars. I leveled my rifles skills to Rifle 4 in the marksman tree just killing liars.

Up until recently, I'm 99.999999% sure I did. In fact, I was using my level 1 pets to do it as a "safe" way to get CHXP, but it was taking hours to do...

But since the Mount Patch, this appears to have been dropped.

Has anyone else noticed that lairs only give 1 xp/1 combat xp now? I've run a few missions on Dantooine of several different varieties in the past few minutes, and all the lairs give the minimum xp. Anyone know if this was intended or if it's a bug? If it's a bug, that majorly sucks, since a lot of people depend on lairs for that extra 4.5k xp boost.

I'll check on this, but I believe I recall the Devs talking about doing this to stop power-leveling. One person would wipe out the contents of a nest, then another (far weaker) person would take out the lair for easy no-threat xp. Or the same person would clean up the area with a wepaon they were strong with then take out the lair with a weapon they were just beginning to get incredible combat xp.

They may have done this for this reasoning, but I'll check to be sure.

Elan Morin Tedronai? i think there's also a Joar Addam Nessosin floating aroumd here too...

all we need is a Barid Bel Medar, and all of them to be Jedi. we'll so hijack the entire star wars series.

Haha, yeah. I've seen a few variations of names from the series on my server. I've already decided, however, if I ever make Jedi (doesn't seem likely, since I'd have to give up Fencer for the grind) that I'll name him Lews Therin or some variation thereof. =)

Also: thanks, Raph, for taking the time to look into this. All types of huurton, piket, and bol lairs are now only giving 1 xp per lair. It's actually not really a big deal, since I'm soloing these missions and getting all the damage xp for the creatures, but it still would have been a tidy extra 90k xp so far. =/

I am getting normal weapon and combat xp from Picket lairs.
