Use bleeds if you got them. Then switch to using suppression fire and whatever damaging shot you have. They are kind of slow, but you have to keep moving. I was getting like 3600 for adults and 1600 for calves when grouped with a droid. However, when I switched to launcher pistol, my HW XP is like 2000 for adults and 1600 for calves--go figure. Calves have around 5500 HAM and adults around 10K. Female adults and all calves are NON-social. All adult males will attack in groups.

Note the 3600 and 1600 I mention first was with a pistol.

1200-1500 for a calf


2900-3500 for a mature


3500-4200 for an elder



Something like that.

its been my experience that scyks are the best thing for HW xp, gouped they give 750 each and they are fairly simple to kill. from and xp/time standpoint they are what I've had the most luck with, Its also nice that HW xp doesn't degrade like pistol xp does.

I've been killing these things for the last two days. On flat ground they run about as fast as you do, but if you have exploration skill (novoce scout) you should be able to pull ahead running up and down hills. Also if you run in a circle around them, for some reason they cant keep up. They lose speed when turning or something.


My only problem is even with healthshot 1AND healthshot 2 stacked the bleed usually wears off the mature snorbals before they die.when I'm kiting 10 snorbalsit becomes hard for me to turn real fast and target another snorbal for more bleeds without them catching up.


am I missing something? is there a way to target something that is behind you WHILE running away from it??


even so, I find it to be faster exp than leviasqualls.

I'm not sure what BAF is?



I dunno if this is what you're asking but elder male snorbals will cause the entire mob to aggro. If there is an elder male snorbal I go after him first, especially if I can get him outside and away from the others. Proximity is part of the formula for whether or not they aggro or not.



I've been doing Snorbals for 2-3 weeks and I'm really burned out on them now and looking for XP elsewhere. It's possible to take on 3-5 snorbals at a time with some risk involved, resulting in around15-20K XP every 5-10 minutes that you've got that many around to kill.

BAF:Bring A Friend


The term used when attacking or aggroing 1 animal will cause those around it to come as well.

Personally i love Bantha's, they give 1.1k xp solo, they are sooo slow and take like 4-5 shots with my launcher pistol


Only bad thing about them is finding them

Snorbals are slow so they can be solo'd, but the other stuff on Lok can ruin a good snorbal hunt.

Giant Baz Nitches on Dathomir


You get 3000-5000 per kill depending on what pistoleer skill you have


Just pull one, suppress fire, bleed, Bodyshot 2 or Double Tap or Stoppingshot which ever one you have.
I made over 500K in two hours for3 pistoleer skill boxes
