Today I pulled a mission on a Jedi with a bounty of 167k. My droid let me to Kash and my instints to the webweaver trails. I got lucky there as he was in the first instance I went to search. So i studied the Jedi for a few minutes as he and his friends arrgoed a half dozen feral wookies; formulated a plan and put it into action.


Long story short, I collected the bounty and logged out to eat lunch and watch some next generation. Well in about 2 hours I log back in and head to the terms to find a new mark and I was suprised to see my 167k mark back on the terms again but not for 167k, now he was at 175k.


Well I thought about taking the job again but decided to pass as I dont want to be labled a griefer for killing the same mark within a 2 -3 hour time frame.


Cana Jedi can not only recover the xp debt from the deathblow but also gain enought xp to advance in Jedi skills. I guess its reasonable that he might have banked a ton of xp to offset the eventual BH deathblow but who knows.


It just seems that the xp debt we give them is no where equal to what they earn in a few hours of grinding the webweaver trails. I guess we just have to keep slugging away atthe Jedi and hope that our efforts have some sort of effect other then the minor enconveince Jedi xp loss is having on the grinding webweaver regulars.


Peace,

Sorry for the edits - a few typos

Yep, I've noticed this too. 150k Jedi going to 225k in a matter of 2 days... The grind is way too fast now, too fast for BHs to even make a difference.

I'm thinking the Jedi waited for a BH to kill them, so he wouldn't have to riskgeting killedwhen he went to train.



FORK!

Just as a point of information a lot of the Jedi on the trails have saved their token respec and are grinding low level boxes exclusively, this doesn't appear to be the case here(numbers don't work quite right, and the odd number should mean the Jedi is a master something or other) so you may see marks jump rapidly up to 190 or so but they will also fall promptly back to 89-123k area if they are respecing into mdef. But kudos on the business like atitude of your killing.

since he only increased by 8k. That can very well just be a novice box that he received. Killing him for 167k will get him a bounty loss of 334k. Theoretically he could have had that banked by killing the wookiees. Especially since a novice box only requires 20k of xp, and costs 8 skill points. Which is the jump he made.


Strange thing with the wookiees is that everything else on the ryat trail is like krayt toughness. Everything on that level has 20k or close to of health. But the wookiees are only 8k, so an easy kill. I took on 15 of them earlier (ok, I admit, that was too much, and I got incapped). But taking on 3 or 4, or in a huge group, taking on 15 is no big deal. And at around 800 xp per kill, on a timer about every 5 minutes for the respawn, would be about 12k per 5 minutes. 144k per hour. and so on, all afk. (not me, but what people are doing.)

The wooks are easier because they are a minor quest spawn.
