Could some one help me with a few questions?

1. I am having trouble getting rifle exp. I am not in a guild and don't know any one. (im kinda anti social)I hardly ever group so... What are some good mobs i can solo that will give me 1k or more exp on corellia?

2. Why do i hear about people making master in 3 weeks or so when i have played since releace and i am scout 4/3/3/3 Marksman 4/3/1/4 Is this due to just me soloing or is there some secret to getting skills in this game?

3. Could someone help me understand what a good stat alocation would be for a rifleman. i currently have high health medium action and medium mind.

4:Is there a good guild out there recuiting on Starstider for a soon to be novice rifleman? also how do i get the tags to show. i asked some one the other day if i had the tag master explore and he said that there was nothing but my name over my head. Is there an option i am missing?

I know i sound like a newb but i'm really not. Any help is apreciated. I've looked at the guid section and tips but it seems most of that stuff is made for the higher up people or groups.

thanks in advance

You dont use a pet do you? I dont either. I cant stand lil' Puke' Mons. Im in the same boat as you. But lateley I have been getting 50k per hr. Conceal shot is my magic weapon. I just hunt squills, mountain worrts, and dune lizards, etc. Basically anything that is non-social. Just means their buddies dont care that you are killing their friend. I dont have them yet but they say to go with the counter sniping for the AoE attacks. Its supposed to make killing groups of critters much quicker.

I do know a place onhink was thetalus south of nashal I think was the city's name. The place is called the creature village, the creatures there give me between 1500 points and 2500 points for rifleman xp. There's a litte trick so you don't get killed by this creatures; stay on either the porches in front of the houses there, or on a platform at one end of the city. By doing this the creatures almost all the time can't get at you, and all you have to do is pick them off. Sorry for not gven you the cords, but the little village is about 4000 m south from nashal. Have fun

Hrm, well I did most of my lvling off snorbals and Bantha's. But as for Corellia, try crazed durni, if you milk the lair for all its worth you should get 3 or 4k per lair. As for a pet, I didnt use one all of my lvling, for the same reason as Vlamr, couldnt stand them... btu I did group alot on my way up, I had almost nightly TCON hunts though. I would personally recommend going out and getting yourself a lvl 10 pet, or else lvl CH a bit, so you can get some half-decent pets. Then the rifle xp should come very quickly. After you get Conceal Shot, go out and kill piket protectors on Lok that you find wandering all alone, Snorbals although the Devs got rid of the missions are still rather common about 1k outside of Nyms and they give good xp, so they are worth a try too.

Thanks for the advise guys. And your right I hate pets. My reasoning is. I have a rifle, why do i need a pet? In my mind most things should be dead before they close to 30 meters. But of cource that doesnt happen unless i'm using my current technique of proneMS1 HS2 HS 1HS1 HS2. If it isnt dead bythen Ichange to DL44 metal Pistol and BS 2 BS 1 Overcharge shot BS2 BS1 then finish with point blank single.

Advancing in Carbinier skills i can afford the first branch of the first three skills. Which one should i get? Which is better Burst Shot, Scatter Shot, or Leg Shot3? Anyone please?

Please notice the HAM difference between them. Fullauto2 seems to be dounle that ofburst shot. Also, i recomend that you go get a crate of tatooine sunburns as soon as you can. They will allow you to spray all day as long as you use them (with no heals). They are the only thing that have saved me so far.

Burst Shot 1. Get that. That will help you do damage until you can get Crippling Shot.

Scatter Shot pretty much sucks. Legshot3 is the same as Legshot2 , so you have that already.

I'd advise after Burst Shot, going up either speed or accuracy line. Counterinsurgency is by far the worst of our trees, barring Burst shot 1.

Thanks man I did that. Tho that move doesn't seem much better than Fullauto2

stupid droid.

Known bug or not, report it as a bug.

Include the avatars names, server, the time (or approximate time of the bug (including the time zone you are in)), the planet the bug occured on and the location of the fight.

Then write a detailed description of everything that happened. As much detail as you can. Who dueled, what specials were used, etc etc. This bug won't be solved over night, but will help the QA team locate and possibly solve the problem.

Remember as much information as you can.
