I just recently got Novice Fencer and noticed that you need to get over 450,000 fencer EXP for each of the last boxes...This seems to be very overwhelming and makes me want to not even try. I was just wondering if someone will let me know what creatures to attack to get that massive ammount of EXP. I realize i should go up footwork first but what next? I dont know my limits...I heard something about piket lairs but can i solo pikets? Someone please lemme know what my limits are as to a novice fencer and what to fight for exp. Thanks!

Savage Quenkers on Dantooine


If you're grouped they give 3.9k xp a piece. You can get around 20k xp each mission you do

First off, I'll say "If all else fails, head to dathomir".


450k is roughly the same you'll have to get for every combat profession for the last box. This is where grouping up, and taking on some high challenge NPC/Creatures is a good idea. I actually found that grinding fencing (specifically fencing) exp. was rather difficult (in large quantity when grouped) due to the different armor ratings and high resistances.


You are correct in the pickets, Dantooine is a great place to grind at (for any combat/weapon xp really) think its due to the title "Adventure Planet".


Anyhow, grouping up (even if solo, group a cheap droid) you get an experience bonus.


And if you end up deciding that 450k for the last box(s) is too much, there is always image design . . . . . . . .

i was getting 10k for rebel missions last night on Lok, and they were very simple, after about 3 hours i had got 150k, thus enough to make me 1412 Fencer, yeah

no offense but there are about 1 million posts of this exact same question.


once you get footwork IV get a dmg sliced gaffi a set of good ubese and do hurton huntresses. they db but can be wiped out quickly. pikets have too high kinetic resists. you can gain about 3k each from the huntresses and about 4k from the lair which is about 22k per mission (depending on if pups pop out) plus they give about 7k credits for completing it. hope it helps. you can do about 450k easy in one day.

I was just thankful that the thread had something to do with Fencer

No armor needed, get fully buffed and take a mind buff (food/dringk/spice/entertainers). Go to Dantooine. Here is the kicker, use center of being. once you use it, you can take on pickets or savage quenckers (not quenckers, savage more exp) and use an Area attack (spin attack1 or 2) and easily kill everything there. Try it on Pickets, pickets give great exp and are fast kills with a gaffi. They do not deathblow so if you make a mistake and get incapped, no loss. Can get 30k to 40k per lair. You can master fencer in a day or two by doing this. Helps too if you wear melee defense clothing.

I have done a ton of leveling combat professions and here are some suggestions:



  • Spam specials or use no specials. You get the same exp either way, but you can't use a combination or you get less exp.

  • Exp is based on two things, how much damage you do and how long youengage apaticular enemy. You can get more experience by doing less damage overall if you engage the enemy for a longer period of time.

  • When ever you are mobbed, spam AOE attacks. You might not do much damage, but you will get exp from stuff that is killed while you were engaged with another enemy. I have gotten 4000 exp from mobs I wasn't even close to when they died.

  • Rancor valley rocks for exp if you are in a reasonable group.

  • Best exp I have found it rancor youths, 5000 exp per kill when grouped. They do marginal damage and are vulnerable to stun. Once you get a good AOE attack, they are cake. I have done 25K in 5 minutes buy getting surrounded.

  • I recommend going up the speed tree first, then the defensive tree and saving the offensive tree for last.

  • Get buffed and wear armor.

I soloed savage quenkers at novice fencer and pikets at FW 3, neither of the two are very powerful or difficult with armor and buffs.

Savage quenkers and hurton howlers are the best. Spam Spink Attack 2 or whatever AOE attack you have and watch the XP jsut go up very quickly. Just make sure your are buffed, drink brandy, and get some armor.

/sigh


...well this is what i did, and note, im a wookie


basically my plan was get 0/3/3/X as fast as I could, gettin me some good dodge and good CoB mods. Get buffed, select 2 piket plains walker missions and group with a buddy. Drink some brandy, muon if you have to. Attack the lair, CoB, then spam Spin2 and reusing coB whenever needed. With the mods you have, pikets can hardly hit you, and you kill them pretty fast. You get(if your grouped) 4k(actually3.981k) exp from regular pikets, and 5k(4.9k) from walkers. Rinse and repeat till 0/4/4/X, then once you get Dizy 2, use that instead of Spin2

If you are an imperial or have an imp friend with an atst, then once you have spin2 you group with an atst and a friend and pull regular quenker missions (44k - 46k xp per mission). Go to the lair and immediately spam spin2. Less than 2 minutes later all quenkers and lair will be dead and you will have earned about 45k xp.

I have tested this for the last 2 nights. Last night I got buffed at 6 PM EST and spent a half hour talking to a friend in Theed. When I arrived on dan2 at about 6:30, I was 0-4-3-3 with only 3k 1H xp leftover. At 8:15 PM I had the xp to train at 1-4-4-4. Obviously using this method you can go from 0-3-0-X to 4-4-4-4 in approximately 12-13 hours of fighting.
