Thread: slow lvl'in
i've done entertainer, marksman, scout, commando, and dabbled in smuggler, brawler, and rifleman. of these 7 trees commando was easiest to go thru. if you are having problems leveling up i suggest finding a master commando on your server and asking for tips. giant womp rats give 1600heavy xp, squill in the squill cave on tat give 3k a pop. stormtroopers give 3k a pop. and with flameshot its easy to get most of that even when your in a large group. i think your not trying hard enuf or perhaps maybe you'd raise your xp faster if you tried fighting something other than junior droid technicians.
I assume you are interested in grinding, so here is a grind way to xp commando:
Get a non-ch pet, for example a rock beetle.
Tantooine. There are these boar/dog things that aggro badly. No DB's. Have your pet attack one. Like 5will attack at once. Flamecone1. 3k x 5 = 15k xp in one battle. (Assuming xp from flamecone1 isn't broken- I've heard different things lately since the patch and haven't tried it myself)... As a previous poster mentioned, Squills are good too(they also aggro in a group).
Zedar, Commando, Bloodfin
i got a rock beetle and did faction missions out of moenia to master commando. send the rock beetle against the lair, and then pick off the stormtroopers 1 by 1.
It took me some time at first to level but I finally got flame 4 and my god has my xp taken off! I will be master commando in no time now if it werent for the darn combat XP. So I suggest to focus all points in flame thrower category for now then do the others.
Flame Single 2 rocks!
UGH! you DON'T NEED PETS!!!!!
just go to the krayt boneyard, find feral bantha lairs, cannibal dewbacks, mountain squill, hell even krayts and just have a blast. I got over 200k there in one night and I was only on for a few hours. The feral bantha's are freaking great, with a good flamethrower you can sit back at 64m and use overcharge 1, it kills them in one shot and it's 1151 xp, group with a droid of another person and that just goes up even more.
There is always stuff to kill there and I most will give you over 1k xp a peice and those lairs will spawn like 20 creatures. Plus it's great when a krayt comes around and all hell breaks loose. Try it you won't be disappointed.
