Get medic skills... pharm3 so you can use stim c's.

Get Novice CH and find the nest BE's pet you can for your level.

Get some pet stims.

Use you LP at 1st and pull single Banthas (or similar mobs) until you can train in flame1. Just use your Healthshot1 and Bodyshot2 while pet tanks... singles go down fairly fast.

Once you get FlameSIngle1 go to Endor and get Crazed Gurreck missions.

Find you mark, kneel about 60m away from lair, and send your pet in to a gurreck. Once engaged... call you pet back to you. When the gurreck reaches your pet... he's right on top of ya and you have good FT accuracy. Attack pet again, flamesingle1 on it, and 10-20 seinds later you have a fast 2.5k-3.1k exp.

Rinse/repeat.

I made 550k HW exp in 3 hours doing that.

When you get /flamecone1 do Boar missions... they are social and come in groups. When you are sure your pet has hit everyone of them.... cone away! This time you will get your 3k HW exp... but times 4-5 depending on how many come.

Key to this is... finding a pet with high enough HAM. I am lucky and have a lvl10 razorcat with 6.5/4.5/4.5k HAM. He's vunerable toa lot... but he stays alive

I will try this later.

Thanks

Thanks also, I'm gonna try this tonight.

It goes really fast once you get that flame 3 box filled and don't need to do any of that. Just burn, then turn and burn again everything drops like flys on a caribou carcase.

My new favorite is a little simpler for those of us who don't have CH. (just as an alternative)

1) Get yourself a doctor buff, and some reasonable armor, especially your head! You'll make back the 5-12K for the Doctor's buffs back in the first 30 minutes, don't sweat it.

2) Head to Yavin 4. I like Labor Outpost, but pick your poison.

3) Pull missions for Mawgax lairs. They should give you around 9K credits each. I like Mawgax's cause they don't poison, they don't disease, and they're non-agro.

4) Hop on your bike and head to the mission. Nice thing about Mawgax's is, they're non-aggro, unlike a lot of nasty poison-spitting things on Yavin 4. So, the safest spot around is standing right in the middle of them, near the lair.

5) Tighten up your armor, steel your nerves, pick the biggest one (usually the Giant) and flame1 or 2 it, depending on what you have. They will all come running at you, usually between 3-5 of them. In order of toughness (Giant-Male-Female-Youth-Babies) use your flame special. By the time you're flaming the last, the first is dropping. The little ones give about 1.9K HW XP, the giants about 3K. If you're killing 4 at a time, on average, that's about 8K+ per "pull". Not bad for 3 minutes work.

5a) For those of you chickens... err... with softer nerves... whip out your pistol, bleed one, peace, get back and wait for your nice little single pull. Wimps!

6) Rinse and repeat, doing the normal lair "single-tap", "shoot-till-half" stuff, wiping out the mobs, stopping to heal your mind if needed by resting up.

By doing this, I usually, within the duration of the Doctors buff (approx 3 hours), can make 300-400K HW XP, and 100K+ in credits.

Doctors Buff: 12K; Travel to Yavin 4 and back: 7K -- you do the math, still making good money.

Easiest way to get XP:

Get a Doctor Buff and use Flame Single and watch them burn. easy XP against any animals when you're buffed and have 80% kinetic Armor.

Anything is easy with Doctor buff except against Human NPC that bleed your mind

Here's my fast way of getting combat xp. I do this on Dantooine doing piket missions atm.

First get a crate of proton grenades or thermal detonators (helps if you're a master commando already )

Get a couple animal missions. When you arrive at one just run up and attack the lair immediately and wait til you have 6 of them surrounding you (bear in mind I have TKA 4004 + Master Commando so I can do this fairly safely ).

Toss 2 or 3 grenades at the lair and let the ae hit the mobs on you. You have to be standing right next to the lair for this to work well. Hit yourself with a couple heals if needed and then flame down everything around you.

Do the same basic thing when the last spawn comes out of the lair.

I've been doing this to help me level my rifle abilities line. I get about 10k combat xp or more per mission this way with minimal grenade use. After 2 days I'm about 50k away from getting rifle abilities 4 now.

I do Hurton Huntresses. flame cone them, and watch them burn. FOr some reason they never hit me. I had 2 of them on me, and they never even hit me once. The die fast and about 3k xp each one, not bad money either if you slice the mission terminal.

i like crazed gurrecks too but why use flametrower1 you miss a lot(at least i do) i just go to the liar shoot a bleed with my luancer pistol(gives HW xp) sinds his buddies dont care he come at me aloneand i bodyshot them a lot Av hit it 500 to sometime 1000 and 95% land while with just flame1 i miss to much to be of use for me

takes me about 10 min (good they are killed at the same time my nuon runs out)to clear the liar and get around 9K cash and 3K per kill

i do these solo no pet no buff just nuon drugs

Since the mobs are withing 5m from me plus in kneeling.... my accuracy even ay single1 was real good. Missing 1/10th of the time. LP is great I agree... but **edit**... if the FT is hitting... stick with it

OK, I'll admit it.. my tip did include a Doctor buff, which yes, does make most stuff doable.

Here's a non-buffed tip that any Commando can do.

Note: I do have a decent (50-60% Kinetic) Ubese armor set on, although not a complete set.

Sharnaffs on Corellia, which I think were mentioned, are excellent. They're non-agro, they can easily be single-pulled with a simple pistol bleed, have only a 20% Heat resist, 9900 HAM, and give approx 3K (give or take 100) HW and 300 Combat XP. The reward is only about 5,500 credits per mission, but we're talking about XP here, not money.

Corellia's a very safe place to hunt, for the most part. Not a lot of poisons and diseases to worry about from the neghboring lairs.

I pull missions right in my hometown, Arca Effex, and it's nice, safe, fast XP. The kind where you can AFK for 10 minutes if you have a phone call. The kind where your heart isn't racing, but if you've got the will to work fast, the XP can be just as good as most other places. Kinda comforting, yes?

I personally like bolle bols on naboo, althoughthey give theusual xp, 3k a piece, naboo seems safer (I still have bad memories of getting diseased by mottled wrixes on corellia : ). If you really want to pump the xp up, do group missions. You pull about the same amount of xp, but you're alot more efficient.

A Doctor Friend + Flame Thrower + Good Kinetic Armor + Fort Tusken = Master Commando in 2/3 days. Plus you might get nice loot.
