2) equip vibros


3) go mad with berserk


4) neck some sunburns

VK's are certified for Novice TK and above only.


BUT, you can wield them below that level but will suffer a damage penalty. but the damage penalty is nothing compared to how much faster they make you. Which is stupid... how does a weapon (extra wieght, something not naturally part of the body) make you hit faster?


Completely unarmed no weapons at all should be the fastest attack speed out there. It's just common sense.


Anyway, thats how. Lame but true.

No, you can only equip the one single set of VK's.
The weapons correct name is: Vibro Knuckler

Working on UA 4 right now. No stims, no VKs...just /maskscent (small critters won't run) all the time and kick the crap out of anything that moves.

I took the vibro knuckler advice and I am here to tell you that the speed difference is too astounding for you guys working on box 4 NOT to heed it. I found a set of 2.0 unsliced 30-125 on bizaar at Theed (chilastra) for 3k. It was the best 3k I have spent to date. It gives you the error message but you will be pulling your specials with what will SEEM to be NO TIME IN BETWEEN. There is a major difference in your speed. Take the experts advice about VK's folks. They are telling the truth. THANKS!!!! Now....to find a mob that doesn't BAF if you hit one of em that gives good exp. sigh.

Here's how I did it.


I worked up to Pistol IV and Novice Pistoleer, and I was going to do it anyway, but for those of you who dont WANT those skills, the extra time levelling this high might not be worthwhile, you may want to stay at Pistol IV rather than hit Pistoleer.


Anyhow, I had a buddy spawn me Kaadu lair outside Kadaara, some distance out. Kaadu are Non-Agressive, and do NOT assist each other! This is the important part. I would bleed one with HS1 then HS2 (they stack) using my FWG5, as soon as the first bleed tick occurred, the Kaadu would charge at me and id beat the bajeezus out of it with uncertified Knuckler.(I recommend novice medic and Stim-Bs.) Damage really doesnt matter, a Knuckler isnt a must-have, your bleeds will do the vast majority of the damage. Kaadu Females have 1300 HAM approximately and give 430 or so xp while grouped with a pet or droid. Males are 2200 HAM approximately and give 600 or so xp. Females will be near death after a set of HS1 and HS2 bleeds and are easy pickins. Males can beat the crap out of you if you get unlucky, so bring those good Stim-Bs!


Step 2, run 300m from the lair approximately, and make a waypoint. Run back to the lair. The kaadus will have instantly respawned, kill them again, and again, and again, repeating this cycle. There is no need to demolish the lair. I clocked my experience using the alarm feature and I was pulling in an easy20,000 unarmed per hour. I finished the UA tree in a couple short sittings.


Now, grinding to Teras Kasi Novice might be a bit slower with this strategy, you might be better off finding some other way, such as a good group with an excellent healer!


Hope this helps.

Hi,

Just this week I decided that I want to become a TKA.
I got to unarmed lvl 2 pretty fast.
On about 50 minutes I went from unarmed 2 to 3 by just eradicating nightspider poison spitters lairs. A good thing about these spiders is that you will not get slain by them.

Each NPS gave 505 XP. The regular nightspiders gave about 130 XP and theres another kind of nightspider, I can't recall it's name, gave 348 XP.

I used this way to get the kills:

stun, intimidate, berserk.
Intimidate wears of fast so when the berserk was over I'd hit intimidate again and then hit berserk again.

every now and then use a stimpack

btw, when I was working on getting to unarmed lvl 3 I killed a feral bantha using the same technique. It took a while for the bantha kicked the bucket the XP was worth it: 1200 XP.

I think I'm gonna hunt down feral banthas to reach unarmed lvl 4

"they are in the anchorhwead mission terminals difficulty level of mission is 9"


do you have aweapon with weaponskill4equipped when taking your missions and which direction are you taking your missions towards? I ran over to Anchorhead last night and found only one bocawhatever mission heading to the N. This was after refreshing the missions for a good 10 minutes. All the missions I was getting with no weapon equipped and UA3 were around difficulty 7. Is there a trick to this to getthe bocawhatevermissions only?

Caur-


Yep, it makes a huge difference to have knucks on, and if you pile Berserk on top of it you can shred Womp Rats and Zucca Boars, which will give you ~450 xp per kill. I have a small macro set up so that I unequip my knuckles, activate berserk, and throw the knucks back on so that I can refresh it during the fight without paying the extra HAM cost.

Maybe it's just me.... I just got Unarmed 2, working towards Unarmed 3... is the extra HAM cost really that severe? Did I just get a good knuckler? (35,52,35 HAM cost) I tried using specials with the knuckler equipped and it doesn't really seem so bad.... toss in a Tatooine sunburn and the HAM cost becomes negligible...
