Full temp Jedi are round the 225k mark, if I remember correctly

the payouts you see on the terms are completely random... no way to tell the level of the mark from there.

Yeah I've taken the highest paying ones and gotten CL 68s, and consequently, taken the lowest paying and gotten full temps. It's random.

I've got a question on mission payouts as I don't know much about BH (I'm a respec'd MBH, plz don't hate me :S)

I've seen screenies all over these forums with payouts of 200k upwards, yet when I use a terminal most available is 50k'ish. Are they old screenies or am I doing something wrong ?

The "new system" has a very low cap, your 50 number. Then you get a "bonus" when you kill the mark based on his template. At least it is what I was told. I have never hunted Jedi, it seems like eating my young...

yeah, you get the amount of skillpoints they have in jedi skills times 1000 I believe it is. so a full templete jedi (226 skillpoints in jedi) will net you 226k.. there is no way to determine this on the terminals however, you will receive the full payment upon the deathblow. It used to have the exact amount on the terminals, but this was removed due to padawans between 60-150k consistantly being hunted, and the 226k's not getting very much action at all. Names used to be on the terminals as well, however devs deemed the bh/jedi relationship should be "1 vs 1" so exact payouts were randomized and names were removed. Faction was given.

Hmm I've never heard the SP reward thing before. I like it.

Hi all. I'm new to bounty hunting and I have a couple questions about picking a jedi mission.

I was told that 50-51k payout missions are near or full templated jedi.

But, I have hunted several 51k mssns and have came across a few CL 63-68 jedi. (obviously not full template)

Also I encountered a CL 80 jedi that was throwing poison (obviously not a full template)

Is there any way to know just how powerful the mark will be? Or is it all random?

And if it is random, then is it possible to pick a 40k mssn and end up fighting a full template jedi?

I guess any info on determining the power of a mark would be nice.

Thanks.

The payout you get for killing a Jedi is 1000 credits times the skill points the Jedi has in Jedi skills (so a full double mastery template with 226 skill points in Jedi skills will yield 226k credits).
However, this payout was listed on the BH terminals, and some BHs were using that payout to deduce the skill of the Jedi and only went after 80k to 160k Jedi (Jedi that are pretty vulnerable because they had to drop their most powerful regular skills to free up skill points, but dont have enough skill points in Jedi yet for the most powerful Jedi skills). This led to grinding Padawans being hunted constantly and the Jedi Knights only seeing a few if any BHs at all.
To prevent this bottom feeding, the payout shown on the terminals now is a random amount around 50k, and you will get a bonus after killing the mark so your total money earned will be the same as in the old system. So if you take a mission around 50k, it will be a player Jedi mark, but you cant tell the difficulty of your mark until you actually engage in combat. Just remember, if you take a mission for 50k and the Jedi turns out to be a full template, you will get the 50k payout plus a 175k bonus after you killed the mark.
