Get a vibro Knuckler with speed 1.5 . It will really increase the rate you hit and will add a little bit more damage . Then go to dathmoir science outpost and do kamurth missions . If you get a group that lets you finish of the lair you will get 2-6k xp.

I completed unarmed 1-4 in less than 6 hours doing this that only because i was being lazy

Unless I'm mistaken, you don't get VibroKnuckler cert until TK novice, so damage is greatly reduced with it.

Using the VibroKnuckler even though you do not have the cert for ithelps greatly. The only damage reduced is what the VK would do, not speed, and you will still hit for 130-160 per hit (as you would without a VK).You hit the beasts faster than you would without one, using unarmed stun1 (once you get that attack at Unarmed 2 which is easy to get to).

Mountain Worrts are stupid and give 1500xp per kill, just bring a stim-buddy orpet.

keep a load of good stims handy,.also try using beserk when using vibros easier on the mind and does more damage.if u have a hi level skill friend such a bh or tk go with them on one of their destroy missions. and ask if u can take out the lair for the xp if they hunt a particular critter they shoudl know the spawn habits of the lairs and u should be able to take the lair out stopping to kill the spawns and moving on..to finish the lair.

if you are going for unarmed xp

find a doc and pay beg steal stat buffs from him/her

it's what makes the world go round

I posted this on the TKA forums, but I'll post it here for you guys as well. It may help some people, and it may not. I know this works because I used it to get TKN and im now casually going up the TKA tree.

This is what I did to get up the unarmed tree. I invested in novice medic and dropped 7k for a fully trained rock beetle, this investment was really worth it and saved a lot of time.

Going from unarmed 3 to unarmed 4 I would hunt diseased bocatts on Tatooine. They give about 300 xp a kill and come 6 to a nest. This is the easy part.

Getting unarmed 4 is a LITTLE bit harder, but not much. Go to mos taike and wander around until you find dune banthas, they dont aid each other and your rock beetle will easily tank for you. They give 1k xp a pop. Do this until you have unarmed 4.

When youre going for TKN go to Anchor Head, then run towards Wayfar, along the way youll find random spawns of swarming lesser dewbacks, zucca boars, cu-pa's and greater desert womp rats. Let your pet tank everything and you will be fine. The dewbacks are a bit tricky but with simple strategy such as burst running away youll be fine.

A few side notes:
Use VK's that are speed sliced, dont settle for anything thats above 1.8
Dont use specials, this is me personally but just using berserk1 was good enough, I hit harder and faster
Buy a rock beetle, dont let anyone talk you into a cowardly gurrek, they have less kinetic res than the rock beetle
Invest in at least novice medic, this will let you use good stim b's and keep you in action longer

The easies way I found to get unarmed xp is to go to dathomir, science outpost. Get 22K missions, which are kamurith defilers, Watch out they disease. And for those of you that don't know. If you go to the mission term UNARMED, no weap in hand, you will get missions that spawn closer. Take a pet with you, preferably a graul mauler, something that can tank for you. They spawn 2 a time. Send your pet at them first. Use your pistol, use healthshot and bodyshot. Once you kill those 2. Get back a bit and send your pet in on the lair, 2 more will almost immediately spawn. They will agro on your pet. Go in and use your pistol again and take those 2 out. Once they are done, send your pet in again, it will take awhile for the final 2 to spawn, so hit the lair a couple of times with your pet. Repeat the process once the final 2 spawn. Once they are done. You attack the Lair with unnarmed, use Bezerk. You need to take about 1/4 of the lairs HAM away by unarmed to get full Unarmed XP, then put your pet on it. Dont use your pistol as you will end up splitting the XP with pistol and unarmed. You will get anywhere from 3000-3300 XP per lair. On top of getting the unnarmed your getting $22k and your getting good pistol skills. Your killing 3 birds with one stone. I did this for 2 days and got through the entire unnarmed tree.

h3rb, how long ago did you do this? I've been hearing that since the HAM of lairs has been increased, the xp from them has been greatly reduced... Later I've heard that this is only the NPC lairs, such as power generators, camps, etc... I'm fairly sure that it only effected NPC lairs, but I'm the kind of guy who needs it confirmed... Thanks in advance.

I just tried it, i go to dath every few days to make some $$$. Worked like a champ.

Thanks folks for all your help, someone in game told me to get a vibroknuckler and use it even though i didnt have a cert and it worked UBER well, but now, just last night I GOT COMMANDO WHICH MAKES ME TOTALLY OWN. well thanks for all your help

Take Dune Bantha Missions in Mos Taike. If you have any sort of Bleed attack, hit the banthas with it,. quickly switch to your vibro knucker and wait for the bantha to run up to you. When he reaches you, start pounding away. Youll get about 1200XP per kill.
