Thread: Strategies on Finding meat.
Thank you all for the great tips. I'm not a CH, but maybe I should pick it up to help with this.

One thing that I can tell you that make be encouraging: As I was working my way up BE, I told everyone that I met and everyone that I knew that I was always looking for any kind of meat. And as time went by, I started having more and more people giving me meat. Itjust took a little time for it to start rolling in. I think that it is important to tell your friends and acquaintances that you need ANY meat. A lot of people don't mind grabbing the meat, but they don't want to have to bother with checking the stats to see if it's good or not, figuring out what meat you want and what meat you don't.
You might message me in-game if you want; I still have people bringing me crappy meat from time to time, so I may be able to help you out some.
That's my 2 cents anyway. I hope it's helpful!

I'm a master rifleman, and 3/2/4/4 BE now. I use a rock beatle and probot on Dantooine then cycle the mission terminal until I get the 9300ish missions for Piket Plains Walkers. 2 missions, same direction under 1k distance from theterminal. Each Piket and Piket Plains walker from the mission yeilds about 40 herbivore meat.. Each mission had 9 mobs total. 3 to start and 2 respawns of 3. Somtimes a baby piket will spawn instead of an adult.
When I started the missions I needed another 25,800 meat to finish grinding microneutriants through rest of the boxes to hit master. Between the 5-6k guildmates gave me and what I collected from missions I only need another 14k meat to reach master.
With all adults on the spawns it'd take 72 missions, or 36 pairs of missions to collect the 25,800 meat. At 9300 credits per mission that's almost 670k credits while collecting the meats I need. Right now the herbivore meat on Eclipse is very low stats so perfect for grindings with.
On the way to and from missions i kill everything I possibly can. Bols, Voritors, Quenkers, you name it. it it's got meat I kill it and continue on.
On trick a master rifleman can pull is use a Jawa Ion Rifle targe the lair and send the pet to attack the lair. this will get all the mobs attacking the pet. Then spam Strafe 2 on the lair, because stun damage weaposn liek the Jawa Ion will not damage lairs, but it will rip through those pikets in short order since Strafe 2 is a cone shaped AE attack. It will draw some agro but most of the agro will be on the rock beatle since it's attacking their home.
