Thread: Geo Cave, the place to get xp

Last night my pet was fully grown (lvl 19 blurrg). I went to the Geo cave as a 0/4/0/3 CH with 100k xp. I had a set of doc buffs, and musician buffs, in normal ubese armour. By the time the buffs wore out, I was a 4/4/2/4 CH with 70k xp, and I trained some BE pets and got up to a 4/4/3/4 CH.


I was getting over 1k xp per Crazed Geo last night with my fully grown pet, however when it was level 18 I was only getting 700 xp per kill. So wait for you pet to be fully grown (man I was kicking myself because I actually remember reading about the patch notes where they modified how babies work).


The cap on CH xp is around 175k if you have a level 4 skill, which frankly is lame. It should be 280k xp, like all other professions (2x highest skill). I'm capped at 900k unarmed xp because a lvl 4TKA box takes 450k, I'm capped at 300k combat xp because the level 4 combat xp box in TKA requires 150k, why isn't CH capped normally?

No, I actually only AFKed once with CH and the xp wasn't really worth it. I'm complaining because when at the Geo cave I hit the cap xp 3x and had to rush around trying to find training. I missed out on about 30k CH xp because of the caps and me not being able to find training.


For all of CH the caps are weird... it basically forces you to seek training immediatly, which IMO isn't good design.

I really want to know what I did wrong at the Geo caves when I went. I am/was a TKM with 80% Comp Armor (64% all other stats) with Doc Buffs/Muon/Vas Brandy. I didn't even use my pet, cause at the time wasn't CH. I GOT WAXED in like 20 seconds by Crazed Geonosians thingys. Now what did ya'll do differnetly? and how, with all my crap I had buffed with, did ur pets survive even 1 hit from these things? (cause they do have more ham than a PC, but I got WAXed in 20 seconds, not even enough time for me to let the pet hit the target, then me destroy the target)

There's usually a bunch of people there, so the mobs get killed very quickly. As a TKM, I could take one down in about 10 seconds, and my pet would be getting hits in. I'm not after loot so I'd just stay in the back and tell my pet to attack each new spawn.


I made master last night.

Was this at the entrance or did you crawl to a deeper spot in the cave? Last couple times i've went, there was like 1 crazed geo spawning every 5 minutes. If I went deeper in, I got owned quicker than I'd like to comment about.

It all depends on the spawn rate. It's erratic. Sometimes at the front there are just 1 or 2 geo's spawing....very easy to control even by yourself(if your master of some combat). Other times for some reason the spawn gets outta control. And if you have about 4 or 5 geos attacking you at once you can kiss your butt goodbye. Best time to get CH xp is when you have like 6 or more people patrolling the front of the cave. This is where I got about 60% of my CH xp.

The same thing happened to me. I was buffed and all that and got incapped twice and finally killed in about 5 minutes. And this was just inside the cave.

Yah, it's great when you have 4 or5 geo's spawning every few minutes... you have about 10 people grinding there in the first room and you just sit back and get your pet to attack each one for a couple of seconds. LOL

Bear in mind that quitea lot of the Crazed Geonosians pack stun-based weaponry and composite armour has a native vulnerability to that particular damage type. You'll stand up well against the Kwi and Klikkies, but the instant a Geo pulls the Sonic Blaster out you're in the poodoo up to your neck. Get that vuln plugged on your next suit of armour.

i have had the same thing happened and like stated above, get a suit of the 35-45% stun protection armor. i went in with regular armor. got creamed and db'ed at the entrance yet a master doctor/master tka went in with no armor and kicked butt. lol... I need to master CH myself for my next holo, long grind it seems am having lots of problems with getting quick XP, i planted myself in front of a meatlump spawn for a few hours and told my pet to attack everything on site, and since i have -5000 thug faction they attacked me on site, i got like 120xp per which helped me level all the first boxes in each tree (17,500xp per) but i dont know how i am gonna master the 2nd tier of 52,500 lolol

same place, if you want the waypoints, shout in coronet for 2 seconds on your way there and someone will tell ya lol, i dont have it here sorry.



I bought a level 16 razor cat and a 18 narglatch, they are babies now but wow they are fast and do good damage, i was getting 300xp per kill on naboo hunting bolle bol's, i wold take them down to 90% health and send the pet in for the kill.


Also i found out, which i hope is not an exploit rather a bug (lolol) is if you "clear" out a lair, as in kill all the bolle bol's and there are no more spawning, if you make a waypoint, travel like 3-400k away from there, and travel back to it, the lair will respawn, i found this on rori too with levia squalls, (tough lairs to find for me at least but good xp)
