Blinding the mark helps a lot. By improving I mean most people wait until they are 0/4/4/4. Having LLC 4 means you can get the highest level marks and you have good accuracy and speed plus the benefit of lightning single 2. Pistol 4 gives you Torso Shot for a powerful flameDoT attack. Carbine 4 gives you Fire Knockdown and Confusion Shot for the knockdown/dizzy combo.


Your marks can typically outdamage you unless you can control them through blind, stun, dizzy, and knockdowns. Without all the state changes to control your mark you are a severe disadvantage and will be forced to rely on bleed and run tactics or using pets to tank. Those are viable options, as many people have made their way through the investigaion line using them. Going toe to toe with your marks without any higher level bounty hunter weapon skills is a difficult task.

The reason is you only aggro 5 monsters at the time. Need to use feign death to make more aggros.

Get in a solo on Dantooine, get Hurrton Stalker missions. You'll get 4900-5000 460-500 per kill. Stalkers make a huge difference.

You can only aggro 5 at time, and if you get any more they just wonder around until you actually hit or shoot them.

i suppose more spawn cause your using FD unless you get 8 then hit the lair FD and 5 more spawn becasue i did that without FD.

They all get hurt because the grenades have a radius or an area attack, I dont think it is nessecary to FD but if you can hit and damge ALL that agro you then go for it

Formula to get 70K-80K per lair.

Large solo Group
Giant Baz Nitch Missions
Target Lair and stand in middle kill first batch
After first wave take lair down to 50% and peace
You should get 5-8 more of those ugly sobs all for 4900-5000K
Use Imp Det with max damage power ups

Good luck!

I refuse to use grenades, or change my temp to be 4/x/4/x commando, I dont think this grind should be easy, and I dont think it should be survival of the richest. jedi should be hard to get no matter what, iam TKM and it will take me about 21 weeks to grind out all the exp, and iam almost half way there, but a commando can grind out all the exp needed in like a week or two, i think this should be nerfed. but anyway to the point. I seem to be able to just barly, if at all, cap my weapons exp in 1 buff, how can i speed it up? I have tried jinda cave, squill cave, geo caves, wild spawns around smuggler outpost on endor, huurton stalker missions in a maxed out solo group and baz nitch missions.

all thoughs methods only bring me 900K unarmed and 90K combat in 2 hours ( sometimes 3 )anyone have suggestions to speed this process up? maybe possible to max out unarmed twice in 1 buff? any help? plz

unfortunately, your not going to get much more xp than that doing straight weapons grinding. And as you stated you do not want to the commando route (you only really need novice Commando btw). Good luck in your grind.

Try rancor valley on Dath. Before I fell to the dark side of fs grinding (yes I use nades) thats where I did most of my grinding. Depending on the spawns and what not I used to be able to cap anywhere from 75-100min. I like it cause rancors for the most part aren't that hard to take down and as a TKM you can take them down pretty quickly. I usually can get over 120k xp from 1 enraged rancor lair.

One warning though is I stopped doing this about a month ago and took a break from the game and I tried it again now about a week ago, and I had more problems w/ the enraged rancors. They seem to use their KD/Dizzy attack a heck of a lot more. So it'd help if you had some fencer or pistoler or something that gives dvs kd or dizzy.

I like you didnt want to switch to using nades but the grind got so boring, and I couldn't go w/ ppl cause they'd steal my xp and slow me down. Also worried that the grind is going to get a lot harder with the CU.

lol knowing my luck they'll probally launch it tommorow seeing as how I just spent about 500k on more nades and p'ups.
