ok cool, thanks for the advice, I hav ekilled a few, but they take seriously 7-10 min and I end up using stims a lot. I have to use tk on the first few then take the last one with a saber, this the right method?
No, use your saber all the way. If not you'll only end up getting most xp for TK use and almost none for saber.

I was using tk to kill like 3/4 of the spawns per pop then just saber the last one, I wasnt using tk ad saber unless I got into trouble.
Thanks for all the help from everyone, from the newb guide I was directed to that I managed to miss in all the excitment it looks like humbabbas on corellia give the best ham to xp ratio. I cant wait until I get home from work to try it!

I used Feral Banthas on Tatooine near the Mos Entha racetrack. My master had suggested it to me, and I found it to be a quick grind.
Took me under 4 hours to get to Novice LS.....and I spent 30-45 min trying other stuff on Tat....and 15 min for rebuff.....
Feral Banthas are the way to go for sure

I am not wearing armor or psg, the fact that I have nop specials slows me down a lot, I hit for about 200-300 dmg usually.. when I hit witch is about 1/6 times I attack, Im going to try snow cake tonight, havent used it before but i figure its worth a shot.

well, to give an updatre, to all who helped me (and I thakn you) Last night I got on and killed quenkers for a buff session, this brought me to about 12k jedi xp. I decided to go to tatooine to find banthas and could only find a few, most surrounded by NPC's and took a while still to kill, and gave less xp then quenkers, witch were in my home town.. So I went back killed quenkers for the rest of the buff session taking me up to about 16k xp, then I remembered someone talking about snow cake... whoever that was, you rock! I went out and bought 3 crates of it and finished the last bit 15 min before my buffs ran out (my wife was about to run out at this point also LOL) So I went and trained, got my novice lightsaber, so then I decided to go tune my pearls that I didnt have enough force to before... !st one was a flawless, got 43/43 -8 FC on it, I guess thats pretty good and speed was -.58 I was happy aboutthat. I heard theat although premium are supposed to be not as good as flawless that they tend to tune better, but I did not find that to be the case.
After waiting about 10 min fgor my force to go back up (thank god for the robes) I tunes another, the tune was 43/43 and -8 FC with -.38 I was a little dissapointed, but not bad, so I waited again (and at this point my wife is livid) toi get the force to tune the other, tuned it and got similar results to the other premium. I guess flawless are better, but I have heard otherwise, anyone care to reflect?
So this morning before work (yes I got up at 5 to play) I logged on, applied my adk to my saber and threw my flawless in there, I was hitting for about 1500 dmg on quenkers I got novice enhancer in about 45 min, went form 10 hours to get 20k to 45 min... I was a happy camper!!! So what do I do next? (my saber has a FC of 5 btw with the flawless so I never get low on foce, keep in mind I only have 1 special attack and ont plan on using force absorb) Do I get all the novice skills for the easy force gain? or Should I work on sabers? I was thinking about getting 1 more novice box then working on double bladed.... any input from the pros?

I agree with the order that Dee said. Don't be upset about your tunes I had a -5 crystal that I used up to Ls3 which forced me to get channel (I was standing around to much). Your next hurdle is one I just cleared last night and that was LS4 (that box is a bear). Only other bit of advice is that if you are having trouble taking to much damage is to quick pick up the first two boxes in tech. They give you some toughness as well as help you to make a slightly better sabre.

Since you're on Dant, I'd suggest you continue running quenker missions. Try to get in a full solo group, so you can get missions that spawn 5+ regular quenkers per spawn. If I were you, the next skills I would get would be any novice boxes that will be in your final template, also get novice healer, even if it isn't in your template. The healhealthself1 will come in very handy to a new paddy, especially if you don't have any medic skills. Then I would see how my force does, and get more novice boxes if it becomes an issue. Then get LS0030, and Enhancer 0002 for channel force. Once you hit that point, you should be able to move on to savage quenkers, grassland voritor trackers, and seething bol crushers (if you can cure disease/have disease res. buffs).
If you plan to do your grinding on Dant, these creatures will become your only companions for the next couple of months. At this point, I alternate between running GVT and SBC missions on Dant and killing wild spawns on Endor, usually depending on how long I have to play.
Getting skills in thatorder worked well for me.You will see a big jump in how efficiently you can grind when you get channel force, and another big jump when you get LS0040.

Is there a way to sync all the group members actions? Basically each group member preps an action and the SL says when to execute the action?
