Thread: Best, Fastest way to do Carbineer?
Fastest way I've found is missions on Dantooine. You're going to need a pet to tank though, use buffs and spam specials for max XP. Anything that moves around the imp outpost gives at least 3k of xp (even at master).
Theoretically, if you can consistently get 50k xp every hour, it would take 3 and a half days straight to get the xp (includes combat xp) from novice marksman to master carbineer. Now, 50k isn't all that much for an entire hour (I never really paid attention to my xp gain, but 100k an hour if you were really grinding like mad seems more than possible), and nobody is going to be playing 24/7 for 3 days straight, plus, you're going to need to take breaks to train, find spawn spots, etc. Thus, I'd guess a week of long days (12+ hours) and you could probably get it, maybe...
The key is to get a REALLY nice carbine (or group of carbines: EE3, elite, laser and DXR6) so that you can actually do the damage quicker plus to use buffs all the time and always have your carbine PUed. Otherwise, it's going to take days longer.
Oh, and before someone else beats me to it: "I think it's best to spend weeks and weeks grinding up carbineer so that you can use and enjoy all your specials as you gain them, only then can you truly appreciate what it is to be a Carbineer..."
Good luck! ![]()

I recommend Bols or Pickets on Dantooine...they have about 10k hams
I dont agree with spamming special moves...here lately I think xp is random as hell.
After grinding thru master carbineer and seeing my commando bro get more xp because he does so much damage i was mad..then when I mastered it and didn't care about getting xp I thought I would help PL him (I'm master Combat Medic/Master Carbineer) so I would open up with a KD and then Peace out so he could kill it.
I would get 1700 carbine xp for the one hit...and if the mob attacked me and I default hit it i would get about 3200 carbine xp while the commando with flamethrower would get about 800 hvy weapons...wierd.

I have a sand beatle that I buff up with my Enhance D packs. He can tank 4 Pickets at once. ![]()
Just do missions, take two picket missions and destroy all bol/picket lairs on your out and back as well.
Melampus is right that xp is wierd, I spammed knockdown while a group I was with ripped a mob apart, I got 2k xp each time. Even though commandos were doing MUCH more damage than I was. *shrug* I did hear that when grouped your xp raises by a considerable amount (25%?) so I'd suggest staying grouped with your beatle and see what happens....
I'd reccomend spamming legshot2. Even though I only do around 1k damage each time, the concentrated targeting of the action pool ALWAYS takes the mob down faster for me that using any other special. And faster is what you want, is it not?
Here is how I recommend speedy way through, works best with CH with a Graul Mauler, go to Dathomir.
Get Kamurith missions, each lair has 2 kamuriths
Each lair spawns 2 plus initial meaning 6 total kamuriths
each kamurith is about 4500-5000XP
plus lair "about" 33K XP each times 2 lairs per trip = ABOUT 70K XP
plus about 40k per run, only do able with a graul but it works VERY nice for me
