Brawler Archive

I'm unarmed 3, halfway to unarmed 4. I've been around the galaxy a few times, but lately I've parked myself on Naboo, in Keren and Theed. I'm sure these strategies will work for Unarmed 2- Unarmed 3, as well.

Last night, I made about 10000 Unarmed XP by lair-camping flewts (117 xp), nightspiders (117 xp), and gnorts (69 xp).

Also, I'm a scout (like everyone else in the friggin' game ), so I harvest the hides of every kill, and makes camps to recover. Also, I'm a medic, so I make stim-A's and stim-B's with the hides and meat I collect (plus a few inorganic materials I bought on the bazaar), to heal myself.

The best decision I made, though, was to buy a baby veermok for 500 credits, and group with him. You do NOT need Creature Handler touse a low level pet. He can't fight for squat (yet), but having him grouped with me adds 25% XP! That means now I have to kill only 80% of the mobs I'd otherwise have to kill to level up! So creatures that were 117 xp now give about 146 xp. I just need to be careful not to let my veermok get to close, or else he'll start fighting and stealing XP. If you want to be a pure pure brawler, then don't get a baby pet. But really consider the XP advantage, because it helps take the "d" out of "grind"

At 146 xp per kill for nightspiders and flewts, you need to kill about 480 to go from Unarmed 3 to Unarmed 4 (70,000 xp). If you work at it, you can go through about 100 in a night before your eyes start to bleed. In about a week of casual gaming, you'll be at Unarmed 4.

Once I get to that point, I'll let you guys know what I'm doing to reach TKA Novice

If you need a break from the monotony, then find a city with a few thugs/bullies spawning just outside the walls, and take them out one at a time. You'll get 50-100 credits plus 100 XP (w/o creature)from each, and youmay even pick up some junk (headdresses, sport shirts) that people will pay 800+ for on the bazaar.

Email Emadon Neiru on Lowca if you ever need a hand, or if you want to join me in the grind.

The bonus exp for grouping, does it work if you group with ST? and do you get more exp for each one you group with. example if i grouped with one pet and 3 troopers would i gain more exp for that then i would for only grouping with one? If i did all the killing that is.

I believe so, yes, but I don't have any imp soldiers yet, so I don't really know for sure.

Yeah, good point to add is that you have to make sure you do all the damage, or some of the XP will go to your pet, and you'll potentially get less than you would have without the pet.

Heh. Sounds like how I got though One-Hand 4 and how I got Novice Fencer. Even with the better weapons now adays, It seems like that grind though Box 4 of any of the Brawler trees is just painfully slow. I am going for Master Brawler now, and after spending time with a pistol, I had forgoten the grind.
