Uh... I just used the Launcher pistol to get flame 1. After that I never put the flamer down, throwing grenades from time to time for the added combat xp boost.

Use the flamer Always.....get lvl 4 flamer and the rest will follow easier....grenades give a little extra combat xp but in reality there as much use as a water balloon.
I hunyed quenkers on dantooine which personally i found i levelled quickly with.
Leave a pet out at the mission term(grouped with you) no need to take it with you.
on average the quenkers can give 20k xp per lair.....3188 xp per quenker with a pet out and 2500 without.
Easy.....peeps may come and reply and say its bollox but trust me it works well annd its all down to personal choice anyway.
Get buffed and leave for dant and u will master a lot quicker.

not bolox just boring lol.


you will need about 1000 quenkers to master commando. (very rough ballpark figure) . very boring. they only spawn twice per lair - not 3 like pickets.not that i did not kill quenkers - i did, but i also killed pickets, bols, moks, dantari, crystal hunters (not solo) - (we live on dant) , rancors (not solo), singin mouintain girls, countless 3-4k ham garbage, stormies - lotsa stormies, akuan,. droidica,piratesetc etc.


this way my lvling commando has been fun, not a grind! (i 3343 and about halfway to 4443)

I agree it can be tedious, however the xp is still decent, pickets for a novice commando could well be beyond the novice at this stage, voritors like to poison, huurtons like to db in an instant and savage quenkers are as the name suggests...savage hehe.
I suppose a good buff in mind and body would do the trick and a little med skill to heal on the go would be an idea too......maybe then the pickets might be the cuppa tea he's looking for.
Im working my way thru tka atm and have levelled quickly doing quenkers......and yes maybe im getting bored with them aswell.
5 sometimes 6 per lair plus the lair xp gives around 20k per mission which when its taking a few minutes to do isnt a bad way to go about it.
But were all entitled to our opinions so a suggestion may be like this....do pickets AND quenkers then u might enjoy it more and pop elswhere now an then for a change of scenery.
I still enjoy commando but its high time we had some better equipment and now that ive discovered the joys of tka i may well pursue another profession to go with it.
Im not a holo grinder, never have been i did commando for the fun of it and im doing tka to try and see if it compliments it ....i fancy the idea of a knockdown then a flame single 2 immediately afterwards.....this way i might enjoy the pvp aspect a little more instead of hitting the ground a lot lol.

good luck with the grind

Get flame 4 and head to the squill caves on Tat. They are one of the few heat vulnerable mobs in game. You will get tons of exp. really quick. Maybe bring a brawler friend that can tank for you and get some buffs. Have fun!

It took me a couple of weeks to finally grind to Flamethrower 4. I didn't power game, just killed everything in sight. I used the FT from day 1. I use the LP when I am grouped so that the others will have a chance to get some XP.
Well, last night I just did the same thing as usual. I was out by myself. I was killing Fambaa's in 5 shots + 1 flame 2 shot. The XP was awesome. I made enough to get Acid 1 (175k) in one night.
I shot at a group of Bole Bol's, the 3 of them attacked me, when they got to me I used Flame Cone 1, and 2 of them dropped dead right there. It was awesome
I have an HAR, but it just annoys stuff. Does not hurt big stuff fast enough.
I tried shooting a RL. Yeah, that works Didn't try that again - too expensive.
