alright, midnight vir vurs are slow running creatures on rori, leviasqualls are too. I do both midnight vir vurs and leviasquall missions, levia gives 1800/180 per kill vir vur gives 1400/140, but here's why midnight vir vur is better, I use a flamethrower, leviasquall has light armor 20 or 30% resist heat, midnight virvur has nothing. leviasquall lair gives you 4 to 6 levias per clearing, midnight vir vur lair can spawn up to 20 vir vurs, fast.
first, get 2 missions of these type same direction/distance, chances are they are gonna end up far away when it actually spawn, run out, spawn those lairs, kill the creatures if you want, mark the lairs, abort mission. go back to town, get another pair of virvur/levia, spawn, mark, abort, rinse and repeat, in about an hour you will have 16 to 20 of those laris scattered all over the area you pick missions. now group with pet, and park it in town, go to the nearest lair, if it's midnight vir vur shoot at the lair, 4 or 5 or them will come running (or... crawling) towards you, 5 is the highest number that will try to attack you in the same time, unless you attack a 6th creature, you can run all over endor with these 5 vir vurs following you and nothing will touch you. then target the lair, and run around the lair in 10m circle, those vir vurs trying to get to you will be bunched up around their lair, now you just keep doing flame cone 1 and watch the xp spam, as you damage the lair, it will keep spawning vir vurs, and if one of the 5 dies, a new one around the lair will join to follow you, some will even try to heal the lair. after you killed last of the vir vurs, the lair has stopped spawning them, leave the lair alone, it may be on fire, exploding whatever... now find a lair you marked earier that's a little more than 200m away, run there, do the same and leave lair alone, the reason is, if you are more than 200m away from a lair the lair is taken away from the world, and if you come back again, the server gives you a brand new lair with loads of creatures inside, basically it's a 100m mission instead of 1km+, if it's a leviasquall lair, most of them only give you up to 8 leviasquall per clearing, you shoot at the lair and run around until all 4 or 5 leviasquall spawns, if a baby shows up, kill it so an adult can spawn, once you done that, bunch up the levias and hit flamecone1 3 to 4 times, 1800/180 xp in your pocket. This gets faster when you master flamethrower.
Yesterday morning I was doing my last3 boxes of acid rifle and 1 box of tactics, I started from empty boxes, they took less than4 hrs+one hour to set up the lairs if I remember right that's 250000+350000+450000 heavy weapon xp and 130000 combat exp, don't wear armor, flame cone 1 doesn't take much, you won't get hit and you don't need to recover, just keep doing it, bloody boring but it is fast exp. took me 4 days from 2 boxs of flame thrower to master but I only play about 6 hrs a day. for some reason using flame thrower each time my target dies or I initiate a new attack my character stops for a second and won't move, now that's fine in a normal situation but if there are 10 vir vurs following you and you get caught up it's usually a incap even if they only hit for 100s, it's important to switch targets,don't target babies they are one shot kills so you end up stand in the same spot for 2 seconds, use tab to switch, always flame cone the one with most HAM left and not on fire that way your current target never dies and you are never starting new attacks so you never stop. a lair will not renew if there's anyone within 200m range, so if you came from more than 200m awayexpecting a new lair butit's still smoking and exploding... someone's been around here when you are not.
Even if you did do this I have to ask Why?
Part of the fun is leveling after you hit Master things really start to get boring. I've been master for a week and am already bored. PvP is ok sometimes..doing quests can get old. I just don't see the point. The best time I have had is my friends and I grouping up and killing stuff.
I dunno maybe I'm missing something. I think my favorite part about games like this anyway is planning a character template and watching it progress and grow then reaching your goal. If you do that in two days I would have to wonder why even bother playing. Just my thoughts though take it as you will.
I agree with you Drist...I was master smuggler, master pistol rest in medic and got pretty bored fast. Not really into pvp....at least as it is now. Commando gets fixed a little, i decide to give up everything but novice medic and alot of smuggler and it was fun again. Now i'm out of skill points again and don't really want to give anything else up and...Hmmm....what was the point of all that shooting in the first place? It was fun, but I was expecting more in the end...
My advice is to grind to flame cone1 and then relax a little and have fun. Go kill tuskens or lok stuff and don't worry about getting master so fast. It's not all that...
but what do I know?
"Even if you did do this I have to ask Why?"
same reason I can ask you "why are you so slow?" but I am not going to. There are more than one type of gamers, for me, I have a tradition of getting the goal as soon as possible, and efficient. from the early AD&D games each and every one of them were finished under3 days with no hex editing nor clue books, Everquest 1 first lv50 of the class, 2 first lv60 of the class (pop I didn't care much) ... Final Fantasy 1 to 9, Dragon warrior 1 to 5,that's what Ilike to do. Not everyone enjoys the game the way you do, and I am sure I am not alone.
I did Baz Nitch missions for a week straight(about 4 hours a night) using Flamecone1 and an AT-ST. would get 2500-3000 HW exp per Baz, and the last day I used C22 frags for the Combat exp. I would say 48 hours is very possible this way.
This is the extream however. And Soon wont be possible with the faction pet changes.
