First skill you should shoot for (IMO) is Force Channel even if it isnt going to be in your finished template. Your wait time goes from 10-15 to less than a min. Sounds stupid, but I dont even remember what skill tree that is in.

lol...np


you can grind by yourself...heres a suggestion:


grind a full bar of LS skills (single, 2h, or double is fine), get healin 2000, then start grinding in a group


that way...once you get attacked by a BH, you can heal yourself but i dont know how much longer you can do that since the devs are nerfing our healin ability

Yes, currently any player or humanoid NPC that gives faction or appearently drop credits will give you vis. It does not matter if they are same or opposite faction or if they are grouped or not. Fighting, Equiping Saber, and Using Jedi powers will get you vis. You can however have abilities active in front of others as long as they have not been activated in front of them. For example Force Run, if you use it in front of someone it will get you vis, but if you activate it outside of town away from anyone then run into town with it active you will not gain vis. Equiping Robes does not give vis.






Im not entirelly sure, but I dont belive just having your saber in hand gives you vis. Using it does, but I think running around with it unactivated in hand wont.


If Im wrong someone clear it up

Having saber in hand and equipping are two different things. Some have said that saber in hand isnt an issue but equipping it is.Im not sure of what is and isnt, sure would be nice if there was a "Jedi Visability for Dummies" thread stickied,I sure qualify as adummie.

Before I even get started, I want to say that I don't mind being hunted. I know it's all part of the Jedi thing and it keeps the long grind interseting.


That said... Dayum. I've had 18 bounty attempts on me in the last 2 days, not counting those who were Imperial and refused to collect on me. I've been grinding with other Jedi of similar level to me (I'm a prime bounty of ~110k), one of them has had 4 hits come for them. The rest had fewer. Does PvP ranking affect how often your bounty shows on the terms? Is word of mouth a powerful thing in the BH comunity when it comes to a challenging opponent who's slow to run from a fight? Am I just unlucky when it comes to the draw? So far, I've been claimed twice. I'm not complaining about being hunted, but why would I draw so much attention compared to others right beside me? I'm fairly unknown on the server and haven't made many, if any, enemies so I don't think there's any vendetta against me.


I do have to say, most of my hunters have been very respectful as gamers. Many wait until I can seperate myself from a lair and it's creatures before fully engaging me. When a 2nd BH engaged me during another's bounty attempt, I took the ride offered from guildies; no one called me a coward for running from a 2v1. A pair working as a team chased me across 6 planets, with several fights along the way, before I was finally able to hole up in my home (my declaired residence, not some trailer home). I don't expect thay'll give up the fight that easy, but for the moment they gave me credit for leading a good chase. Only one has been... less impressive.

Currently, PvP ranking has no impact on visibility. It's basically how often you use your jedi abilities in front of others. I would say you've been unlucky if your grind mates are at the same level yet BHs keep coming for you.


And, there is no shame in running. That is a valid tactic.

Got my Jedi just over a week ago. Been away for 5 days, came back friday night, and since then i have been hunted 13 times and killed 10 of those times. Now i'm not complaining, i don't mind being hunted, but i draw a line when 6 of those deaths were done when i was low on heath from the mobs that were attacking me.


Yesterday was my worst day made over 2 mil xp in total but lost 1.9 of it to deaths from bh. With my template at mo my cl is 49 and don't stand a chance


My Question is why does it seem to be the same bh hunting you all the time, why don't they go after bigger targets, and allow the paddys to grind to a stage where the can offer some sort of challange.?

My question is this Dose Visability reset after you get killed by a BH?

I got hit 2 days in a row and I dont quit understand how

Also do you get visability when hunting Wookie mobs on the webwever path?


Any information would be great

Thanks

not anymore, it did pre-cu. The only way to lose vis now is to gain no vis for 3 weeks.

Do not trust that you are off the terms after a BH kills you. It is "supposed" to work that way, but there is enough evidentiary support to conflict with that.


Yes, you do get visibility from Wookiee mobs.
