Greetings Commando's

I am slowly working my way towards Novice Commando, with the idea that by the time I get there it should be fixed. In the meantime, I've been reading up on how to hunt for Combat XP only. It seems the trick is to use grenades.

I have Novice Weaponsmithing, a factory, and crate loads of grenades (come by my vendor- Extractors & Explosives- if your on Kauri). What I seem to be lacking is technique.

Previous posts have described hunting with grenades like this:

1. Hit creature with bleedshot (Actionshot1, Mindshot1, or Healthshot1). Click Peace.

2. Hit creature with grenade. When itbleeds to deathyou get all Combat Xp.

That seems simple enough. However, in execution, this is how it works for me.

1. Use bleedshot (I currently have Actionshot & Mindshot). Click Peace.

2. Toss a grenade, miss. Toss another grenade, miss.

3. Disarm my carbine because now I'm shooting at the mob as it attacks me up close.

4. Toss a couple more grenades at point blank range as I run around with the mob chewing on my ass. Hit myself with grenade and finally do some damage to the mob.

5. Mob eventually dies, I have half healthafter fighting something with less than 1000 HAM.

6. I get XXX Unarmed Combat XP, XX Carbine XP, and X Combat XP. Notice I got mostly Unarmed XP.

How, EXACTLY, do you kill a mob withbleedshot/grenades and get ALL Combat XP without getting beat to hell and back by a Nuna, Gnort or other lowbie mob?

Thanks

ok here is what your doing wrong.. use peace after you attack or miss.. not switching weapons.. cuz when they hit you .. you punch them.

so it goes liek this open up with bleeds then hit peace.

throw grenade and hit peace.. if it misses throw another and hit peace.. do this till you acualy hit with a grenade.. and peace after every one. dont try throwing a grenade if your ham is getting low.. cuz it say not enuff pool and it shoot your gun instead.

then all you have to do is wait around for the belled to kill it.. or possible rebleed it.

peace is your friendly exploit helper.. not swaping weapons.

Warning shot.............here's a little experiment for you. Go to tatoonie and find a ronto pack pull one of the rontos (just one) away from the pack with a couple hits and lead it away. Now spam warning shot and watch what happens after you usually hit it with about 8-10 warningshots (don't worry they're fast just use a fast pistol) if you don't notice anything keep firing warning shot untill you do. If you do this you should understand how you could now kill that ronto you pulled for full combat xp (well whats left after those warning shots but the damage is negligable).

I recommend you only do the warning/combat bleed on reasonably safe big game.
