Thread: When (CL) to start hunting?
Ok, thanks. That actually helps alot. I've had bugged missions in the past where the mission says a difficulty rating that I know is on par with my skill and then themobs that actually spawned there were like CL 4 or something stupidly low. I was just about to go out and check again to make sure there wasn't a similar bug that gave you missons to high for you to handle instead of to low.
So I'm gathering from your suggestion that investigation should something left to develop until you are well exp'd and eqt'd? I just started the game like 7 days ago. I've got 3 former guildmates with me and we're all in the same boat and we don't know anyone else in game. When it was get a mission, go to WP, and kill something...it was easy. It's when I start getting into some of the advanced stuff like this that I'm having trouble.
My copy of the game didn't come with an instruction booklet of any note..(10 or so pages). The in game help files are usually ok, but not for stuff like this. Matter of fact the one that popped up for my first mission told me that when I took it I would get a notice as to my 'contact' for information on the mark. Lucky for me I'd already read a few of the guilds here and the informant part of the guides where in my head. After I realized that no contact waypoint was incommingit only took me a minute or two to start searching for one of the NPC's around Mos Eisley. So far I love the game and I'm having a great time...my only regret is that I didn't getsome sort of50 page starter instruction book or game guide of some sort.
I think I go back to working on my carbines 'till I'm at least CL 30. That way I know that things under 'difficulty 16' should be in reach. You prolly just saved me another long ride into the wastes. Thanks.
Well, I've lvled up my carbines about 4 more boxes and BH a couple of boxes but I'm still curious about the missions. I went back to the terminals and grab the cheapest mission with the lowest difficulty I could find. I rode out and found the guy and he conned IR to me...I think he was like 38 and I'm currently CL 31. I finished him off in short order with alot of help from my trusty probot. Feeling encouraged I went back to the mission terminal and grabbed yet another mission.
The second mission I grabbed was roughly +/- 200 creds or so in payout and the exact same difficulty as the first mission I grabbed. When I get to the mark I take one look at him and just about pass out. He's15 CL's over my head! I thought I'd give it a try and test out the water just to be sure that something wasn't odd...sure enough I'm incap'ed and my droid is down in about 10 seconds flat. I don't understand the BH missions at all. Are they ment to be done with a group or something? How am I supposed to run them if they continue to scale up at the same pace as me and out of my reach? Is there a point where they begin to get really easy or when you're not facing mobs 10-15 CL over your head? It just seem confusing to me that I normal missions for the terminals I can complete with total and complete ease...but when I go to the BH terminals the targets are sometimesinsanely outta my reach solo. Why even offer a mission to someone if it's can't be finished for another 10 CL's? And why do missions with the same relative payout and difficulty result in MASSIVELY varied opponents as marks?
