Gurks on Lok at x/x/4/x sabers and x/x/0/2 or better. There are places on lok where you can find 3 or 4 natural spawns of gurks plus your two missions. You gotta watch out of the Destroyers and King that pop up out of the nest at the end, but these toughies give you 6-900 xp per kill. Dervish these beasties for states then bust out the pool specific attacks. Intim if you still have it so the only thing you need to worry about is force, and with channel no worries on that.
Always fun to log in an alt or have a bud run out and kill all the NPC spawns until you only have creatures to worry about ina 2k radius as well.
Most people I know grind on Dant, so you risk NPCs but also a money mission grinder on speeder whizzing by you. No one goes to rori on any server, so for the conservative Jedi you can kill stuff there for less xp but not worry about players.

I dunno, but as 0/0/3/0 away what would anyone else recommend for me to do in a big solo group to get that last bit of xp.... i'm still taking on gurrecks and borgle life sappers on endor....

Fix? This is the 'solution' to infinitely respawning lairs. At most you can get 5 spawns from a lair. This has worked for a very long time. The 'limit' is 3, so if you kill off 3 spawns from a mission and leave and come back, the mission fails. but if you only kill 2 spawns then leave and come back, the mission will respawn completely and you can milk 3 more spawns out. For the time invested this is a better method than spending 5-10 minutes trying to find 2 more missions.

yes fellstaff is right now that i think about it. I went to dant today and got in the solo group i'm usually with but actually spent time at the city where everyone usually hangs out and i'll tell u, quenkers give much more xp faster than gurrecks do, at a faster rate. I normally hit the beginning spawn and the first spawn that comes out when u first tape the lair, when those are killed off i run to my 2nd in the group, do the same to that, run back to the first and get the same thing again except with the added third spawn when u take lair down to half health on bar, so i get roughly 25 quenkers.
so 25 quenkers X 573 per kill = 14325 per lair. I can do 2 lairs in roughly 10-12 mins, with travel time added in and the quick stop for mind buff also, i can get roughly 200-220K a buff. So heck yeah this is way better than fighting gurrecks and borgle life sappers even tho they pay higher. They also hit harder, they also will DB you. If you get incapped with reg quenkers, they dont DB you. also the place i'm in has very little player traffic and so far very little npcs too. i had only one instand of visibility from npc today while grinding. But i shrugged it off and will continue to grind, if i get db'd by a BH, oh well at least my visibilty will reset.
my totals for 2 buff sessions today after continually getting interrupted by the dog wanting to go out, the phone ringing off the hook and geting lunch prepared was roughly 225K. I know i can do way better than that, however when i can just sit down and focus solely on the task at hand and not get interrupted every 10 mins for something.... but the method works great!

my saber is 14 fc i have channel force and am 0-4-0-2 lightsaber. in a good 3 3/4 buff session i can pull almost 400k doing hurton stalker lairs (the 64k HAM lairs so you'll need a solo group which are scare these days)

interesting.... i'll have to try this once i make /0/0/4/2 sabers. right now being less than 600K from my 4th block in dbls, this is fastest for me. but once i get that 4th i imagine things will improve dramatically for me. I know my buddy who is well now he is 4/4/2/4 sabers, but when he was 0/4/0/4 could grind out 500K easily and 700 k on a good buff on endor just killing everything in sight.... i imagine when he makes master sabers he'll really awesome..

actually i just upgraded my saber (drained all my money, but i think worth it) i bought some premium pearls. my saber before was about 15fc, 257 max dmg 2nd gen, now after my new pearls its a 3rd gen 14fc, 339 max dmg. i can't wait to try it out
the 4th box in any of the lightsaber trees makes a giant difference in your grind speed too. endor is a great place for exp too. i can't go there yet unless i can break 400 dmg on my saber i think i would get overwhelmed. my old 2nd gen is the one i can get 400k with though maybe with my new saber i can even get 500k

hi. i'm surrently on a set grinding schedule that should let me finish in another four weeks. To do this i've been maxing out three types of xp plus combat xp by group-grinding bols and pickets on dantooine (i'm tkm, master swords, master fencer). this however takes be about eight hours a day which, for me, is rather a lot. anybody know of any way i can get xp faster? thanks.

Either your groups aren't big enough, or they are comprised of too many lower level characters. You should be able to do it in half that time, if not better. If you are finding that the groups you join don't work well together, try being more selective in who you group with.
Another thing, pikets aggro once one of their group is attacked, bols do not. Sure pikets give more xp, but for many groups they can be overwhelming and just slow things down.
