Bounty Hunter Archive

after giving it a lot of thought I will be leaving the bounty hunter profession. I have zero desire to play a broken class again (did that in eq with a rogue for 2+ years)

good luck to those of you that stick with it, I just dont want the frustration anymore.

Cheers,

I see the Devs went post happy in SWG Discussion today but I still dont see any red names in BH forum.....

*sigh*

One way is to get a Ikopi (yes they suck but that's not the point)

Then you can kill mobs that are just outside the towns and get about 100 exp each kill, when you get to management 3 you can use 2 ikopis and double the exp.

It's boring as hell, but it's not an exploit and still good exp

Depending on you current skill as a CH you can go to either Naboo, go out way out into the countryside and kill kreetles with a cu-pa wich offers decent exp.

OR

you can go to Talus train a wrix (compairable to a cu-pa) and go out hunting the bugs there (rot mites, dung beetles)with your wrix.

Verey good exp there got training/taming 1 in about three days on talus, now working on managment 1.

I've been killing a lot of kaadus and fambaas on Naboo. The exp is awesome.

i got a steady 300+ for snorts and 1000++ forkimos using my trusty cu pa

Just get a good snort group and trye to send in the pet jsut before it die and u will harvest up xp prety fast. + it more fun than doing low lwl spawn at starter towns.

I took my Cu Pa to Coronet... gottwo explorer mission to the NW...then started out that way with my 'lil friend killed everything I could on the way... hit the explorer beacons... then continued to Kor Vella.

In Kor Vella... take two explorer missions to the SE... and use the same process back to Coronet.

Side note... bring a ton of Stimpaks.

Pick up something like a Cu Pa or Greater Womp Rat baby. Both have a ranged attack.

Use a town like Mos Entha. Circle the town killing the worrts, lesser womp rats, rill, and such. They respawn faster than you can make a lap. You'll average about 90 XP per creature.

Doing this, I can average about 32,000 XP per hour.

(note: I have level 2 medic skills, so I can heal my pets)

Those aren't explorer missions, unless Lowca is more messed up than I thought. Explorer missions don't have a direction or waypoint. Use the normal mission terminal.

I have 3 methods of getting CH xp, whether you can use them will depend on what level you have achieved:

1) Taming and training - at lower levels this works quite well. Once you have 9 commands to train you rack up at least 1000xp per critter, so it soon adds up to a new skill at level 1 or 2 skill boxes. It can be a bit of a grind though.

2) Fighting solo (I mean on your own, not attacking Han) - It's a bit of a balancing act, but you have to pick the right pet. You need one that is tough enough that you are not going to be constantly healing it (or at least have a lot of backup pets), but not so tough that you get 1xp per kill. I usually grab a couple of Rogue Bageraset explore missions on Corellia and use my Direcat. I get about 120xp per kill and it soon mounts up when you kill 90 of them. It helps to have friends on the planet who can send waypoints to mobs though.

3) PA hunts - Our PA hunts are a great place for CH xp. I normally use the toughest pet I have (currently a Grand Wrix) as a tank or for crowd control. Against Tusken Warlords and chiefs I was getting about 1K xp, against Ewoks somewhat lower. If you have a bunch of friends who often fight together, go out on some hunting trips. You'll get lots of CH xp and your friends will thank you for taking along a tank.

If I'm out solo I will usually mix up methods 1 & 2. On a PA hunt we don't allow taming as it slows us down, but the harder creatures make up for it with big xp.

to comment about the matrix movie?

is this what i am paying for? i try not to rant on the boards but rather focus on having fun (such as it is) grinding through the investigation line, but this is like rubbing my nose and the noses of all the disappointed bh's into the bantha poodoo. we have real issues, which we know are not being addressed in this next patch, issues that have been around for _MONTHS_ and we don't even get a feedback comment of "we hear you" from the dev team.

obviously they're too busy, that's why q3p0 is commenting on the matrix movie. w-t-f?
