Thread: Anyone help me on how to get Novice Commando??
For the marksman... it was mostly hunting groups on Yavin and Dantooine with people that had already mastered marksman that could teach me skills...
For the unarmed... I killed anything I could find outside of the Keren starport...
Have to agree with the above post... if it cons white or yellow or blue lay the smack down on it for unarmed and you'll get it quickly... or find another brawler in training and you guys kill stuff together. Thats how i did it. For most of unarmed i did go solo.
For marksman same thing. Just dont try to take on to many at a time and you'll be fine. And try groups on Dantooine you'll find that the xp rolls in quick.
If you make it a grind it will be on. If you have fun with it the time will just fly by.
I ran around Restuss on Rori and smacked the crap out of bunnies (squalls). The ones outside the city are good for the first 2 levels, they were meke avenging squalls- just like any other starting city (Theed has chubas, I think).
Then you can move up to the thugs outside the cities. Be careful with the thugs, try to isolate one and fight it without running into a close group. Also note, some thugs are easier than onters. In Restuss the ones to the south of the city (conveniently near the brawler trainer) are about 1/2 as hard as the ones to the west of the city. As soon as you loot the thug, another will appear to take the vanquished one's place. So be ready for it. The thugs deathblow.
If you don't want the deathblow, then look for ikopi (which are okay) or regular squals. They were pretty good also. But your fastest bet, if you can afford it, is to get buffed and fight the thugs. Get buffed for less downtime between fights.
If you are as impatient as I was to get novice commando, use unarmed (if you want commando/tk) or pistol (to get novice pistoleer and better accuracy/speed with launcher pistol) on the mobs while you run missions and then use grenades on the lair. Or the really fast way is to use just grenades on the low-level mobs outside of a starting city. But this will make climbing the flame tree more difficult later on because most folks use launcher pistol to get the first 2 to 3 boxes of the flame tree.

My first holocron told me master marksman. I did it in about 2 days. (I was marksman 0040 at the time.) My second told me DE, so I dropped back down to marksman 0044 and started that. I hated it after about 4 hours, so dumped it and decided to try out commando. To get back the marksman blocks I'd dropped took me about 4 hours.
Once you've mastered marksman, you'll probably still be working on unarmed. Provided you got yourself some vibroknucklers as I suggested, go to Coronet, get buffed up, and then take g.wrix missions. They're pretty easy if you pay attention to your mind and you're well-armoured. You'll get around 2.5-3k for each g.wrix and up to 5k for the lair.
Good luck.
for unarmed.. get to -5000 thug faction then find a spot to camp and just kill them all night long.... its kinda like a combat macro.. since you have -5k fp for thugs they will auto attack you then you'll attack back...
just make sure you can kill without getting killed ![]()

Master commando
if you have a few patient friends, ask to go on a jungle voritor hunt on Dant. These are some of the high level missions, so You need at least 4 elite profs to get them. These guys havelarge ham, good resists, and a very bad disease.
Let youtr friends kill them, since you won't be able to last, composite armor or no, more than a minute. You let the group kill all 6, then you finish the lair using a speed sliced vk and berserk.
Voila! Instant 4k unarmed xp.
Also, if you are working on scout, these guys are 700 a harvest. Also, make sure to loot their corpse. They carry voritor bone segments, used in voritor bone armor. Most armor smiths will pay you a decent amount for it. Not a lot, but enough to compensate you.
