Im having real problems getting any large amounts of CH XP. I have 2 pets right now, one Narglatch(CL 14) and one BE Kusak(CL 11), and use both frequently. Even when attacking yellow and red cons, I never get more CH XP than combat XP, is this intended?
Any suggestions on how to get CH XP faster would be great, I only plan to reach 0300(for extra storage), but Id like to do it sooner, rather than later, as I have another BE Kusak(CL 19) on order.

yes this is as intended. You must fight harder mobs in order to get more xp. If you use more than 1 pet
the xp will be divided by each pet.. ie each creature has a max XP, if you fight with a lvl 20 and get 1000 xp, if you use 2 lvl 20's you will get far less xp total, prob only like 250 xp each. But if you use 2 CL 10s you might get 750 each.... for a total of 1400xp... if this doesn't help you read the Faq. It's all explained therein!

But thats the thing though, Im only 0100 right now, so I only have one pet called at any time. I switch between the two, but I have never recieved more than 250 CH XP for a kill, regardless of whether or not I send them in afor one attack, the call them back or let them whack the creature for the whole fight. I gt about 110 CH XP for attacking a Cu Pa with my level 11, but only 250 for using EITHER pet on a Sharnaff(red con to me at novice rifleman)??
I managed 0100 in about 2 days, but its been a week since then and Im not even half way towards 0200, what do I have to attack to get 1000 CH XP per kill?

Try getting pets with ranged attacks. Then go to the geonosis caves. Have your pet attack anything that is almost dead. You will get lots of xp that way, though your pet might get killed in like 1 shot from the crazy geonosians.

I'm 1114 right now, heres what I did. I went 1111 first to get higher level pets. Thats pretty easy to get just killing what you would be killing anyway. I was something like 0211 in Carbineer at the time. Then I started working on the management tree, by getting in rancor groups on Dathomir and sending in a pet at the last minute. I was getting about 1600 xp per rancor with a level 15 Cowardly Gurreck (I think it was a cowardly gurreck, anyway). Then once I got to CL 25 I went and borrowed/took/bought myself a pair of greater sludge panthers. I then went to the Geonosian Caves and just stood back and tabbed through the crazed Geo's at the entrance, telling a GSP to attack each one. The caves are so camped that you shouldn't have a problem taking agro's if you stay a little ways back. That got me 1000 CH xp per kill, and with the Geo's spawning every few seconds, that totalled up to an average of 5000-7000 XP per minute. It was great. That got me to 1114, and I bought myself a nice 10k HAM bio-engineered Gurreck (I sinned, I know) so now I can solo pretty much anything within reason.
Good luck!

There is NO WAY I will survive the geonosian caves, Im only a novice rifleman, and I only have an average laser rifle. I was thinking more along the lines of creatures I could attack with groups which gave loads of CH XP.

Go up against what YOU can handle, and then send in your pet two hits before your target dies. Just remember, you are not supposed to get massive XP in CH. The other alternative is to take out a smaller pet with a large group of people against bigger mobs. Back "in the day" I'd hunt with a gurrcat against pickets or bols and the like that my group was attacking.
