I have maxed pistol xp, and I'm working on mastering Fence so that I have 2 profs. I get about 5k per hurton that I kill, but when I started working on them with a stun baton, I only get about 3800 xp. Anyone know why this is? If this is going to continue any suggestions besides the squill cave for money and quick kills. I know I need to go up the 2nd tree first and then go to squill cave, but I need the xp faster than 3800 per if I possibly can.
Thanks,
Mjames

I do Quenkers (dant) or Gurks (Lok) when i want to grind the XP and jantas/mokks when i want $$$$ (just like everyone i think). I dont mix XP and credits missions.
You should try busting out 2 sets of jantas then go grindtheno mission Gurks or take cheap missions for qunekers. This is what i do and it has suited me well with my 100 profession changes. Just make sure you have the Credits you need for buffs and such. It sucks when you break your armor and dont have the credits to get off the planet let alone buy more.

quenkers are easy...i get about 3500-4500xp per killusually i get to kill about 10-15 per mission i think.
gurks are a bit harder but still cake for a master profession.....about 3800xp (unless some of the harder ones spawn)per kill and their are like 20 mobs per nest maybe more.
either way you should lvl quickly.

Im not sure why some weapons give better xp than others....maybe its got something to do with dmg done over time ????
like dishing out 40k dmg in 2 minitues (4500xp)compared to 40k in4 mins (3500xp)?? who knows.

the lower down in a profession you are the smaller the xp cap is. the more boxes you have completed the higher the xp cap goes up over time. try grouping with a pet or droid also. that helps with xp.

I was glad to see this thread...
Mstr Pistoleer/Fencer here grinding quest system and Imax both pistol and one handed exp before I "convert and dump" (friend call it "taking a #2"...LOL, sry if that was childish/rude) on Dathomir.
Grand total every visit to the village: 1.8m weapons exp.(900k for both pist & 1handed) & 180k combat exp = 120k Force Sensitive exp pts.
I usually play a set of buffs and go to bed now in this Post Pub 10-Hologrind galaxy we live in now and this type of exp conversion strategyseems to make the most sense from an efficiency standpoint.
However, I grind my 1handed exp cap in about 1.5-2 hrs. and always trying to make that go faster, but pistol'ing...whoa, much different story. I now max 1handed then start pistoling...earn a 1/3 of pistol exp cap and run out of buffs.
Fencer's area dizzy is wonderful for keeping mobs busy and dying quickly, racking the exp quickly in a similar fashion. But without the BH mods and specials I am having a more difficult time matching the 1handed results Im achieving pistoling in terms of raw output.
Any suggestions...
Thanks for reading/replying to this post!!
