Thread: New Novice BH Question...

Well I made it Novice BH today...


So for sure I went to get out and get some assassination mission. As a CL16 myself I got myself a CL13 (5k reward) which should be doable, right?


Wrong...

When I got there, I faced a CL54 NPC ?????


Is this a known bug/issue (since I couldn't find it in the stickies and search is not helping)?

It would mean I first have to become a fully templated combatant to do any investigation missions...


Some help appreciated!

I swear this should be in the FAQ's.



It is working as intended. You need to grind some CL, or group.

yes, it is a bug


yes, it is a pain


yes you should work on grinding at least the other 3 BH trees to raise your CL


yes, that also is a pain, but fairly quick and easy in groups



welcome to the ranks, though! GL!

I think it is probably a bug as it is WAY too harsh to send a new Novice BH out to do his first mission (HOW EXCITING YAY lol)and he gets a sour taste like that...it would put many people off playing their BH...

I dont think its a bug. I dont think anyone expects thata playerwill get 4 boxes of scout, 4 boxes of marksman grind to inv 3 and start hunting Jedi. You need to learn how to fight BEFORE you learn how to hunt is all. Get you r combat level up a bit and the NPCs become boringly easy.

That is the way it is meant to be...I had the same problem so I went and grinded on Dant for a few weeks to raise my CL. I am at lvl 80 and all the NPCs are lvl 54 which makes it too easy for me a few shots will kill it, which sucks because you spend all that time hunting only to fight for 1 mins.


Mind you the difficulty will increase as you climb the inv. tree.

Thanks all for the answers...

It's clear now..


I can understand tho why it's done this way, however... just my 2cts (has probably been said many times before), this is for new people a downer...


Pure jedi hunting should/could be done when become as master bh...

Prior to that, you could get just normal NPC missions which gradually increase in difficulty...


It's consistent when you get a BH mission Level 13 and get to fight a CL54 whereas you get a Normal misison (CL x) you will get to fight CL x....

Ah well. Time to polish up the combat skills.

This same thing happened to me. The thing that ticks me off is that I get one mission at a difficulty and I get 6k for killing the lvl 35 guy. Then I go out and take another mission of the same difficulty with the same payout only to find a lvl 48 guy there waiting on me. WTH is the point of difficulty ratings if they mean NOTHING at all? Honestly, remove the friggin number all together so newbies like us at least go out there knowing to expect instant death and hope for doable yellows. Put a warning on the BH terms to let people know that the rules that govern normal mission terms don't apply to this one!


This same friggin thing happened to me on my first mission...I rolled up on abig time redfor my first mission and had my speeder blown right out from under me...I was cursing 'difficulty 16 my arse!' the entire way home. Why can't the BH NPC missions follow the same rules as the normal mission terms? If I need to group cause the mark is gonna be 20 lvls higher then me...there should be some sort of newbie disclaimer there at least for the first time you log into the terms.


I mean honestly, if a spy op can get enough info on a guy to get bio signs on him...the least he could do is bother to ask someone a relavent question..'Hey, this fellow wouldn't happen to be an elite uber commando of any sort...would he?' We need a simple rating like a 1 to 10 scale. "Ok, this mark...on the Jar-Jar vs Vader scale...with 1 being Jar-Jar and 10 being Vader like...how would you rate this mark's combat effectiveness?"

I took 3 missions today and for the first time ever I got missions UNDER my CL of 31. I actually got a mark that was CL 20! All 3 missions came outta Bestine on Tat. and none of them were the lowbie mark. I choose 3 missions that seemed to be middle for the payout range listed on the term. Again the diff. number listed was totally irrelavent so I've stopped looking at them all together. Seems odd to me, once again, that mobs lvl 50 would have the same difficulty and payout as lvl 20 marks.


Oddly enough I got like 145 investigation for offing the CL 20 guy...same amount as the CL 40 guy I 'did in' yesterday...even though one was yellow and one was grey. It seems silly to me that I get the same inv xp for findinga guy if he's standing 8k from the nearest city amoungstfive k. dragons...or if he's 100 meters from the terms in plain site of mein Bestine.
