Doh .. forgot about those on Naboo.


I don't wear armor for PvE. I can count the times I've worn it hunting on one hand.

If I read this correctly you are getting about 300 xp per solo white with Unarmed Level III?


That is correct. That even sounds like a "high" white for you (you are rate cl 9, and the creature is rated cl11) You would get the same XP if you killed that creature with a Pistol at level III.


In a group, taking out larger creature, its all about the damage you do. And the unarmed Damage rate just sucks. The Other Melee weapons are marginaly better, only beacuase you can use weapons that can be realy well made and sliced. But for the most part, you dont realy see decent Melee XP rate till you get to one of the elite classes.

The way XP works is that each creature has an associated XP that is an arbitrary value that the dev's give it (but generally higher for harder creatures).


Then depending on if you're grouped or not, and how the enemy con's to you, you'll get an XP modifier.


So a creature may con yellow to your fists and give 450 point, but be white to your pistol and only give 400 points.


Also the amount of damage you do is in proportion to the amount of damage you do.


So if you find that same yellow con, but he's half dead, and you finish him off you'll only get 225 points (with your fists).



The balance issue is that with a rifle you can go prone in the grass pop off 3 or 4 headshots and do a total of 2000+ damage stricly to the mind pool before the creature even notices you and you'll probably get 2 more shots in before they charge, leaving maybe one or two shots to take while getting damaged.


Being able to dish out that much damage allows a marksman to take down much higher class foes, thus reaping higher XP at the same level where a brawler is still working on mound mites and vynocks.

Is that solo and against the same type of creature?

I've dealt with Kaadus and gotten 400 or so XP at master Unarmed. So I know the cap isn't at 300.
