Combat Medic Archive

Ooh I'm glad I caught this one Ok, now I don't do this because I believe in leveling myself rather than "grinding" but I have heard a lot of good ways. The different experience types:

Medic Experience: Ok now this one is easy, you have 2 very good choices.

1.) Get a high level Creature Handler and a Commando with at least Flamesingle 1 (Flamesingle 2 will go faster.) They duel, the commando sets the pet(s) on fire, and /peace while the Creature Handler constantly tells his pets to follow him. Result? Pets with completely black health bar. Now you buy some nice Health Wound packs, as high as you can use with your medical useage. Just heal the pets up, you will get very good experience very fast.

2.) This one requires spare points. You go up the doctor line, thus letting you use higher level meds and, most importantly, buffs. Then just go to Coronet or another highly populated area and /shout that you are buffing for free. You will get experience very fast this way. I'm not sure how high you have to be in doctor to be able to use the good stuff, so you might want to ask one.

Medical Crafting Experience: Ok this one is slower, but doable.

Buy loads of Lokian Wheat and Tatoonian Fiberglass. At some point during the medic base profession, you will be able to make Advanced Biological... somethings. I can't remember exactly, but they take 16 of both. You just grind with that, you will make it in what, 5-6 hours? You might want to get a crafting macro to help you, since it has perfect timing. NOTE: There are certain 3rd-Party programs that allow you to craft AFK. Using them is strictly prohibited by the EULA. So don't ask me what it is called. Ok here is for the macro, which is legal and very widely used for grinding:

Good luck! Don't hesitate to post any questions!

Thanks much, that's good stuff. Actually, the more I look at the profession, the more interesting it gets. When I initially got the game, I went MBH (pre-boosted xp patch) and that just didn't leave enough time or skill points to see what else SWG had to offer. I guess the fact that Jedi missions don't work was sort of a blessing in disguise because I've enjoyed playing these other professions. Fortunately, after doing chef, crafting for just about anything else doesn't look too terribly bad. Thanks again for the info. Any other tips or tricksof the tradewould be greatly appreciated.

the advanced biological effect controlers are far and away the best way to go. i have mastered CM once and am doing it agian with an Alt. both time i reached "Toxicologist" long before the healing trees. just craft everywhere, at the starport, at the shuttleport, waiting for pets to come back to you black barred, craft, craft, craft.

once you get to novicecombat medic i would suggest you climb the Support tree first. it will allow you to use more powerful Stims. when you get to 0/0/0/3 (though you should get to 0/0/4/3 first if you are crafting all the time) you can start to lob Area Stim Bs in cantinas across the galaxy. as i stated i am mastering the profession agian with an Alt because i LOVE being a combat medic, and currently i am getting 2k-3k med XP per toss in a CROWDED cantina. the trick is not to lob a stim every 15 or 30 seconds (which IS tempting) but just wait. watch the HAM of a Master Dancer, or an Enthraller and when the action is more than half way down, lob your stim. this can take up to 2-3 minutes, but if there is not another CM tossing stims every 15 seconds, you WILL get 2k XP and sometimes 3k XP per throw

three words: tumble to standing

that works great. its fast and cheap. have someone make a macro to repeatedly /tumbletostanding, this will lower their action super fast. have them equip armor to drop it faster and if you can get them an action buff, just action not the secondaries. then get some nice stim packs, like stim e's or something and you can set yourself a macro to /healdamage every few seconds... the delay is going to depend on how fast your tumbler is losing action. i think mine was around 18-24. i prefer this method because its cheap.

some people like to disease a friend and then heal their wounds, which is better xp then tumble to standing, but you have to keep reapplying the disease. i used this for a bit of quick xp at the end when i knew i wouldnt be sitting there for 2 hours doing it.

or you could get up to novice CM and throw area heals into a really crowded cantina. that one is nice cuz it doesnt require another person to help you. the only problem here is if theres another CM there doing the same thing yet not gonna get any xp worth you while. or if you dont have a crowded cantina. i used coronet cantina once and got about 20k in like 15-20 minutes.

-edit- just realized someone else postest about the cantina thing

Wow, thanks folks. I appreciate the time and effort in your replies.

Who says forums are all whining? (pay no attention to other threads)
