What is the best way to gain XP? I am 0200 Novice Fencer. What weapon should I be using and what creature should I be fighting? Also where is the best place to find the creature. I have been doing queanker missions on Dantooine. Since you have to go back and forth from the mission terminal to the lair you have a lot of down time in between fighting. Is there a better way?

I did Quenkers at 0/1/0/0 then went to Savage Quenkers on Dantooine. I used a Curved Sword since its fast and has decent damage. I just made a macro, ran in the lair, went afk for like 5 minutes and came back and most of them were dead or just outside my range (since they spit). I was getting about 3200 exp per Savage Quenker. Once you get Footwork 3, you get spin attack 2 which is an Area Blind and Area hit, so I stuck to Savage Quenkers and took all my armor off except my chestplate (I was having mind trouble) and with Dodge from Pistoleer and with them blind I couldnt get hit. Once I got Master Footwork I jumped up to a Gaffi Stick (lower ham cost, higher damage, but a little slower but your basically maxed on speed at that point) I just started yesterday in Fencer and am already 1/4/0/3.
So in Review:
Do Quenker Lairs (about 5k missions), Stand in Lair, spam Spin Attack 1 usinga Curved Sword
At about Footwork 1 or 2, upgrade to Savage Quenker Missions (about 7k)
At Master Footwork, Upgrade to a Gaffi Stick and either do Savage Quenkers (about 7k missions) or move onto Pickets (about 9k missions)
Pickets give about the same exp, but they dont have a ranged spit attack so they run right in there and get slaughtered. I was getting about 3200-3500 xp per creature and about the same for the lair. I would like to note, I did this with Doctor Buffs and Mind Buffs when possible. This was also done without the aid of a mission group.
Hope that helps

If you can get to the Squill Caves early in the day, or server reboot, you can get great XP once you have the speed tree maxed. I used a decent Stun Baton and use Area Spin Attack 2 and get 5-6 squills on me ata time. If there aren't to many higher level people in the cave, I can average 500-600k xp in one hour. I did this for swordsman too but that was before they nerfed the spawn times. Now I can normally clear one side of the cave, and then move on to the other, by the time I'm done with the second side the first side is respawning again. Hope this helps

I did quenkers until i got 0400, once i got 0400 i started joining solo groups on dant and did huurton huntresses... you have to search the mission term alittle but the solo group makes it so lots of them spawn around the lair. when you get there just spin attack the lair. Tons of huntresses spawn and they give about 4k xp a kill. you will probably want some brandy for this.

If you have a buff... I suggest Janta's. Almost every janta you encounter in missions have weakness to kinetic. So a good gaffi using a spin attack is great. You get 30k ish per mission and i think they gave me 5000 xp per guy. Plus they sometimes drop nice items. You need a buff, brandy, helmet (or other pieces if you don't have dodge), and a solo group. But it pays off.
