Alright i poisoned/diseased my alt in the mind and had my almost master dancer dance for him and iam only getting like 40xp per round. I once saw my self get 3500 xp from 1 round.... anyone know how to get xp like that and how I actually got the xp that high. Any info would be greatly appreciated cause all i have left to do is the 4th bar on wound and battle fatigue and I master

There are a few things to keep in mind when comparing experience events. Ocassionally you'll get "bundled" experience points. This happens when the tracking system gets behind for one reason or another and then suddenly you get huge chunks of experience. That's probably what happened when you saw the 3500 Xp in one round. Also you don't indicate if you were grouped either time. Is it possible that a large group with lots of mind wounds were watching when you got the 3500? That also tends to cause large xp gains in rapid bundles.
My best advice is to try to get a group of entertainers and heal in areas where mind wounds tend to be bad. Kimogilas on Lok are notorious. With the new Village on Dathomir the Science Outpost might be a good spot. PvP fights tend to use mind fires so if you hear of a battle you might want to find a strategic cantina and set up there. Use the Auction chat tab to let people know entertainers are available to heal (and buff). That last box seems to take forever but you'll get there in no time.

The huge xp spike is the result of a bug (though the amount is an amount that'd been earned).
I'm not *as* familiar with the details, but the gist of it is this:
Whenever you dance, you automatically 'watch yourself' (this is how you heal your own mind wounds and BF). This is supposed to always be the case. However, when someone does a /stopwatch on you, for some reason you stop watching yourself. As a result, for whatever reason deep in the code, you stop getting your xp (though it builds up in the background). When someone starts watching you again, you get all the xp that's been stored up, and thus the huge spike. I think I've read that you *can* lose all the stored xp somehow, but I'm not sure how.
Anyways, apologies in advance if this in incorrect info, but I am fairly sure at least that it's because of a bug, and you aren't getting any extra xp total from it.
(Incidentally, musician's got a fix for the same issue with /stoplisten where we automatically restart listening to ourself when this happens. You can tell when it happens when the music stops suddenly, and then you get the startup riff (or part of it) after a few seconds and then continue playing the music.)

That's about the size of it yeah. The way you can lose that xp is if you stop dancing before someone starts watching you.
