Commando Archive

Anyone know of any good high lvl (ie. lvl25ish) destroy missions with mobs that have low blast resist? is there a commando hunting guide somewhere around?

Thanks for any tips.

Take a look at The commando guide version 2.0. Its very informitive, its stickied on the top of the forum list.

Unfortunatly theve JUST taken out snorbal destroy missions on Lok, so thats a huge loss for people trying to make a decent amount of money, and excellent xp. . .ah well, we like it so they take it away/. . .

I Was on Lok today and yesterday... didn't try my hand at any of the missions... but I did find some Snorballs.
a small herd, with around five to seven of them... and a big con-red one too.
I took out four before I 'died' (didn't get slain, I died. go figure).

good XP yes.

They're pretty manageable if you attack them right. There are 3 levels, Elder, mature, and calf and both genders of each. Attacking a male elder or mature will cause all other elder and matures to add. You can attack any calf/or female elder/mature while leaning on another and they dont add. So when you see a single male at a lair, take him out first in case more males spawn you dont have more than one on you at any given time.

Yeah i didnt care about the money on the snorbal missions, i just cared that it would make 2 lairs spawn where i could milk xp. . .not they just dynamically spawn without lairs, what a pain in the a$$. The money WAS good. . .11k per lair. I think they nerfed it because it was too easy to destroy the lairs and get too much money. . .why coulndt they just have lessened the money you get rather than remove them all together. . . /angry. . . i dont care if i only got 2k per mission, it still would be excellent xp, and well worth my time. . .now we have to wonder around aimlessly as we find snorbals that dynamically spawn just to have some massive group come along and clean out your supply. . ./sigh

What? Snorbals are gone? Completely? Or just the destroy missions to kill them?

Is there a post saying about this change, or was it a stealth nerf? And if theres no more missions, do they still spawn randomly? Or is the snorbal /gasp EXTINCT?

Yep, i went to Lok to try it out and realized that snorballs are gone from destroy missions. Didn't even know they were supposed to be "great" money, i just wanted the exp . Im sure there are still dynamic snorballs around, but gl finding them.

Anyway, i'll check the guide some more, but does anyone else know any good mobs to hunt?

On Corellia, with the flamer or har equipped I can spawn lvl 22 War Gronda missions. War Gronda are like rhino elephants. Their speed is avg and they have decent resist to everything but acid. The destroy mission are ~4K creds and the WGrondas are 2400xp, 3K if grouped with pet.I gave up scout skills so I am slow as hell so If I can solo them, so could you. Warning, they warp out the lair (may be my slow pc) and they definitely deathblow like a champ so dont let them get the drop on you.
