ARRGH I JUSTED TYPED THIS UP THEN IT DISSAPPEARED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ahmmm:

This is my 1st mini-guide so I hope it helps some people, old vets or new like me (started FarStar 7th Nov 2003)

I did this on Tatooine with Bocats, but can be done anywhere with any crit.

1st go to an explorer terminal & get a high paying Hunting mission - you know those annoying missions that want you to find xx amount of a certain type of crit.

45 diseased bocats on tat pays about 6k. The start point is 3-4km away. DO NOT GO THERE. Instead go to a normal mission terninal & get a destroy mission that wants you to destroy THE SAME TYPE of crit as in the explorer mission. i.e if the explorer mission says diseased bocat make sure it is a diseased bocat, not a rabid bocat or any other variation.

These destroy missions usually pay about 1k & are about 800m away.

Each lair holds about 6-8 crits. This means to get all 45 i need to do this mission 6-8 times. (every time you kill one it tells you how many more you need)

This means that a good turn out could be 8 missions at 1k each + the 6k bonus for all 45 crits = 14k in about 1 hours work. Also think of all the lovelycombat, weapon, scouting & any other XP you can get on the way

Worst case scenario is you get 12k in about 1 1/2 - 2 hrs. which is still ok.

Happy Hunting!!

'What shall we do tonight, Brain?'

'The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world!'

Yes, this can work, I've done it myself. You just have to be careful what creature up pick in the explorer terminal. You may not be able to get the same creature in the destroy terminals. When I do this I usually have to equip my best weapon for the explorer mission and then equip a lesser weapon for the destroy missions. Even then the creatures in the explorer missions may be "bosses" of lairs, which amounts to possibly 45 lairs, or are in dungeons. Again, this can be done, just be careful what you choose, stick with animals you know you can find.

What is the best way to Earn money when you are a Marksman.. Im doing the mission but i only gets about 500credits each time.. is there another way

Become a better Marksman and u will get higher paying missions. Be patient and improve.

One other thing, if you are going somewhere like the squill cave, be sure to get two explorer missions for squills.

It also depends on where u hunt at. I too am I having the same problem with low payouts for missions. But tonight i made Pistol 3 and was Corellia and say missions for 1k each which is better, but if Im on Tatooine I only get missions for 6oo credtis. Just have to wait it out and grind away eventually you will see the better payouts.

Could also maybe try group hunts on dantooine or dathomir, I dunno.

Remember to keep hittingrefreshwhen at the terminal to bring up the higher paying missions and to get two missions that are close together. Remember that the type (power) of weapon your holding determines the mission levels you get.

Damien,

No one can - you're limited to two missions.

So grab one that's in the direction you want to go. Then run it out, keep going to the closest city, and turn around.

Ok then ..umm this works at low Combat Levels but once you start getting destroy missions over 1k it is pretty pointless.

at least right now. I can get about 12-14 k doing this.... takes 6-8 missions to complete.

but if i tak 12 destroy missions for 1k each i still get 12k and you can take 2 missions at once so that is 6 trips...about the very same as doing what you suggest but i do not have to worry about finding the same type of critters in each mission.

PS. I can never get 2 destroy missions and 1 hunting mission..if i could your method would work fine for me.

one word GROUP even when i was novice in a good group ide get 5000+ per mission

I've tried explorer missons that pay 3K-6k. They are a liitle hareder to find but the payout is much better
