or here is an idea, actually grind out the profession the way we had to, instead of slicing bases or doing all these other things, learn to hunt, learn the tricks of the trade man. and dont use a protone carbine, its such an obvious weapon against jedi, and not strong at all.

This sounds like the Jedi argument about grinding: "You should have to grind out like I did.... back in the day, before spin groups, and the Rryatt Trail, it took MONTHS"

lol..... I love that one. It's a classic whine, and I think this poster may have a new one.

Slicing terminals in forward outposts(easiest) will get you 1000 xp a pop.

As a MBH/MSMUG I took it for granted to slice my bh missions and infact I never knew "slicing" a bh terminal gave better bounty xp ?? I tought 1000 bounty XP was normal..

my 2 cents is dont level up invest until you have all the xp for all the boxes.you can go to mos eisly and have a term and spynet right next to each other and mark will only be on tattoine(player cities with shuttleports everywhere).After you get invest 2 you must use droids and trot all over the galaxy for something like 400xp but in the time it takes you to do it you could run 2 or 3 level 1 missions without the headache of getting the mission use the droid find the mission is on endor or yavin and dropping mission to get one on a populated planet.

Make friends with a jedithat hascloak. You can slice any base then, . Just have the jedi cloak and grab all the agro. You can run in and slice the terminal and then run back out.

According to mulitple red named posters this method is an "exploit." Something to do with a bug that causes cloaked Jedi to pull aggro from npcs. If the Jedi is NOT cloaked and does the same thing, it's not an exploit. Go figure.

It's still the fastest method of gaining BH experience though. I just don't recommend it to "new" BH's since it creates unfamiliarity with the BH system, but hey... I can't stop em! Just help em!

I've been doing it the hard way. I'm 3/4/4/4 BH right now and man has it been a chore. It's been fun though because I've looted some schematics that I've wanted.

The loot benefits are nice too.... from novice to MBH, if done the "hard" way you can make millions selling the loot you get.

Plus it makes you that much of a better hunter for taking on "real" marks.

There is a strong correlation between the people posting these "what's the fastest way to grind BH exp" and "I can't kill my Jedi mark" posts.... they simply bypassed, as much as possible, the "training" that one gets while grinding out the BH experience.

Often it's "what's the fastest way" then a week or so later: "I can't kill my mark, what's the best template" Then on that profession board "How can I grind MCM/MRM/Carb/Pistol/etc the fastest!?"

We have a society largely populated with hunters looking for the "quick" grind or the "fast/easy" track to get where they are going. They are moving so fast that they never bother to learn the essence of the hunt. The art of tracking and stealth... then we see 100s of posts like: "My mark notices me all the time, I can never sneak up on them"

The elder hunters who do know or learned overtime the principles of the hunt and stealth and their professions often repsond with harsh comments, and rarely a kind word. These "respecers" are shuned and ridiculed by "us" elder hutners who understand the system.

Vicious circle really.....

You want a hard grind, try Polotician lol

lol, grinding Investigation over1 year ago That was interesting...

Ive done BH 4 times and Im glad to see its been fixed and improved from the way it was, anyone who thinks you should have to suffer through the way it was over a year ago is just a jerk looking for validation for their non-existant "achievment". I wasnt one of the poor **edit** who did it pre vehicles but I did do it twice Pre-JTL with the wonderful 10 minute shuttle timers and the missions that were broke like 50% of the time on a good day. I honestly think the Investigation tree is the best built "leveling system" In game.

If you are refeering to me i did just the same thing only i started my grind pre-vehicles only to take a break from it cause it was so nuts! I walked over 10km only to find my mark in a rock or not even there... And to be honest i was more pointing at those things you mentioned in a more humoristic sense... How insane it was, and as you said, you did the grind pre JTL with the 10min shuttlewaits killing "grind time" - so then you know what im talking about!

And another thing, i wrote "over a year ago", if you think about it SWG has only been alive for two!

Please dont feel to special and calling me a "jerk looking for validation for their non-existant "achievment"" before you know who you are talking too...
