Bounty Hunter Archive

So after a day or two on Lok attempting merc missions for slicing drops and getting nada, I finally give in and start working on BH. Im doing all the novice missions getting interesting drops and finally get my 10K invest XP. I train up and I search the amazing sticky above for my level 2 informants. I see Talus has a few and they look near the terminal, so I head there. I grab a mission and am looking at how far I have to run to get my bio signature. Not bad, a little longer than I'd hoped but not bad.

Well as I have no droids, I leave the mission in my pad, and do a vendor search for droids in stacks of 25. I find a few on Dant and so head out there. As I carry my master smuggler tag, cause Im a smuggler not a BH, I get hit for a slicing request. I just happen to notice a smuggler loot vendor right beside the droid vendor, so I tell my smuggling "mark" to meet me there and he can buy the drops and I'll slice for donations (Im a sucker). We go through all the slicing options and he pays mea whopping 20K for the slices! :/

Slicing is done, my droids are purchased and Im heading back to Coronet to hit my bank. Im driving back into the outpost and all of a sudden my bike goes disabled (I have the absolute worse luck w/bikes). So Im off and taking damage, but because of the mass o people standing around I cant figure out what or who is attacking. I figure Im a "combatant" so some factional NPC is wanking on me. I hit esc and wait for my "auto target" and its some 71 CL NPC. Well Im CL 65, caught off guard, so I run into the ticket hangout and pop a few foods. The NPC follows me in and I dispatch him, thinking there must have been a few other aligned faction players nearby that coulda helped out. Just as I am cursing my luck that the NPC would pick me I notice my screen and I just received about 300 BH exp. It was my mark.

Of all the gin joints in all the towns in the universe my BH NPC mark just happened to be standing near the same starport I was heading for!
