Okay, maybe someone can clue me in on the dynamics of this situation. I thought I would get more xp for using less agressive and lower CH level pets but that that does not neem so.
As an example, I have these three pets; A Rill,ACowardly Gurrek, and a Razor Cat. Razor cat is bioengineered the other twoI tamed and trained as babies.
This is the xp I get when attacking a Crimson Blurg on endor.
Rill=472
Razorcat=472
Cowardly Gurrek=600
I would think I'd get more from using the rill since it is the weakest of the three and a crimson blurg can take it out in three or four good hits. But for some reason I get the same xp using the cat and the rill. This seems to be true across the board, no matter what pet I use, they seem to generate almost 33% less xp than when I use the gurrek.
Any thoughts on this?

I'm not sure if anyone has really figured out the formula for getting CH xp - its mostly a trial, just try one at a time and see which one you get the most xp at

there's a ramp that looks something like that, that determines how much exp you will get. you'll get less if the animal is super low in proportion to the target, more as it reaches the "ideal level", and less as it goes above thatideal level.

Aha! Thank you Digi! That explains why my CL 16 pair got less xp than my CL 24 pair...now to just figure out what "ideal level" means to the devs...
Edited for spelling, KFC grease on my fingers lol...

My Cowardly Gurreks are level 15, Razor cat is 21. I get anywhere from 800 to 1100 for using the gurreck to attack Grasslands marauders/raiders whatever.

I get about 1000XP with my Razor Cat (Debs) on Janta. With JayJay, my Huurton Huntress, I get 500 per normal sharnaff and 620 for a Sharnaff Bull. If I use Debs on a Sharnaff, I get 360 for normal sharnaff and 500 for a Sharnaff Bull. I think JayJay will be coming with me to Dantooine next time

Best pet I found was the Cowardly Gurreck and that includes BE's. 1200 per Crazed Geonosian and 1500 for enraged rancors!
Of course they are soft as butter so you need to look after them in battle but XP wise they are the best I could find.

If you're talking about a Grand Wrix, watch out for when their health gets down to around 30% and they run like a scared little girl.
No worries, at that point I'll just switch to my GSP and start hacking away again. Would use a level 19 BE pet, but eh, don't have any be pets other than my level 49 Rancor, and he's just there till I get off my lazy but and get a Natural Rancor.

I get the best xp using cowardly gurrecks as well. What I'll do is aggro the MOBs on my self and tell the gurreck to attack when a MOB is about to go down. Versus mobs that can do spin-type attacks, I'll tell the gurreck to stay at a distance and then bring it in when a MOB is about to go down.
Being a master fencer as well, I can hang in the middle of 7 or 8 high end aggro mobs with COB running and not worry about getting hit too much. Just sucks when the enemy has high kinetic and stun resistance.
