Thread: Grinding CH at Low Level is impossible
Search your feelings young jedi. You know it to be true! 
Bye Bye MCH, now MRM/MD (YaY! THANKS TO THE CU, BACK TO BETA TESTING!!)

If you have the time to group, many people only hav an hour a night and can't afford to stand around waiting for people, this forced system and xp rewards are very unfair and unbalanced.
As for xp, not sure when it will change but it willl, many people with an elite profession trying to work on another elite get no xp because of it. The level sytem being applied ontop of a skill sytem broke alot of things, xp rewards are one of them. Its not how it will remain expect a change down the road.
Taming pets seems to grant you the appropriate xp, run around planets like tat, c-net, naboo close to the cities are usually alot of lower level babies and tame/train them then dump em. it might be a little tedious but should work if you dont have time for a group. If you are grouped just send your pets in while the other attack, if your not working on pistols then try not to shoot, you share xp with your pets so instead of deviding xp among ch and pistols you should get full credit for ch.
Flash I think you missed the part where I said I don't have the time to find thegroups. I get 1-3 hours of playtime a night if I'm lucky. I don't want to spend 1/2 that time or more looking for a group just to say sorry gotta log thanks for group. I shouldn't have to group to make xp at all. I can accept that solo I will make less xp but right now I can't make any.
dc I'm sure I am doing something wrong but I'm not sure what. Let me ask you a few questions you friend that has no problems what level pet are they using what is their CL and what level mob are they fighting.
I am noticing that if your pets are at or higher than your level people are doing ok. Its the people whos pets are lower than their level that are having problems.
Funny LordTharin...you just brought up exactly what i had been searching for. I posted the following in a thread about the same time you started a new thread:
Sorry if this is a repeat of multiple posts...been looking all over for an answer...but here goes....
I have noticed more tamables too...and am glad at the moment cause I was only about halfway thru CH when the CU hit. I need the xp for taming and training, especially since the xp needed has been raised....all the way to 450,000 pts in the #4 boxes of each tree. The best part is this...I am only getting 2 pts xp when my pet assists in killing an enemy at a level matching its level....2 pts!....and during double xp week at that! I tried training a few pets and noticed really good xp for training. Has anyone else noticed this? AmI missing something or doing anythingwrong during combat? Or is this still one of the bugs being worked out?
Again, sorry if this has been covered.

I haven't even worried about grinding while the respec thing is still going on. I just grind out scout xpand then save the standard pts, and then respec it into elite when I have enough.

I find the new grouping system really cool...
If you go in a group, you only need your pets to attack a creature once & you'll get full xp..
You'll be taking lvl 80-82 lairs & you'll rake in the xp on both CH & pistols...
While you are in group, both your pets & you will be lvl 80...
& finally.. there's a bonus with the mission cash but I'll leave that for you to find out..
on a side note.. xp for teaching pets has had a major buff in the new CU.. Go Tame!!!
News Flash, the full xp for hitting once has always been in there.
Pet will show as level 80, but still get taken down as it's normal level.
oops, beenso long since i read post i forgot what you said in original message heh sorry about that.
anyway, I dunno, since she is dabbling in pistols i'll see if she will come here and help ya. I'm fencer so, I don't know a whole lot about ranged so far.
qwert01 I am solo as finding groups is not a option for the amount of play time I have right now. Last night I attempted to fight on Lok.
1st Fight I have a level 24 Dragonet and level 10 Cu Pa out.Fighting a level 36 grey mob. Send pets in 1st level 10 oet goes down quick was hit consistent for about 250 damage per hit. Level 24 pet then is getting hit for 190 per hit. Level 24 stays up with about 10% life left as I finally kill the thing. I get 2 XP
2nd fight same pet same level36Creature I attack 1st. I am getting hit for 30 per hit and so It isn't much of a contest I get 2 xp.
3rd fight same pets fighting level 44 creature but still grey. Send pets in 1st. 2nd level 44 adds on me. Both pets go down both getting hit for well over 200 a hit. I manage to kill both 44's but not alot of life left. I get no CH xp as both pets are down.
4th Fight no pets fighting a level 49 Green snake. I kill snake but is very close fight.
5th fight I have a Level 25 Sand Beetle and a level 7 BE(still growing)pet out. Fighting level 54 Gurks. Send pets in 1st. Level 25 is being hit for close to 300 a hit I attempt to heal pet using anew pet stims my friends BE just made. No effect tells me nothing to heal. Level 25 goes down. Level 7 goes down. Gurk has about 85%-90% life left after petsgo downand is hitting me for about 120 a hit. I am hitting for close to 500 a hit and my life is going down quicker than its is. I hop on bike and run away to avoid having to clone.
This is a recurring theme for me. Lord help me if I get a add at level 54 its just over then.
