Really? Sweet. But theres little to no cash per mission that way. I will do that right now anyway, I'm after XP tonight not cash.

I'ma master swordsman and I can get 900k Weaps XP and 90k Combat xp about 1.5 times per 3hr buff set. I just take Piket Plains Walker missions on Dantooineby myself and spin hit the lairs until all around is dead. That's approx 30k weaps/3k combat per lair. Then Iharvest any corpses for the ScoutingXP andstockpilemeat or bones tosell later.Then Izone out and continue doing that for 3hrs. By the end, I've usually capped Weaps, and have around 100-115k combat. If there's enough time left before the end of the buff session, i'll go convert my XP and continue grinding. You can also make some decent cash this way too, as PPW missions are worth 10k each. This may not be the most efficient way to collect FS XP but grenade grinding with C-12's is more time consuming and expensive.
It is terribly boring, but run some mp3's in the background, grab a book or a Gameboy and do something to keep yourself entertained in the meantime.
You know you can double that xp per lair(70-80k)running huurton stalkers in a big group right ?

There are much faster ways than this, but I'm not much into grinding for the sake of grinding, so this is about as crazy as I get:
Get in a large solo group.
Get 2 10K huurton stalker lairs on dantooine.
Area attack the lair until its dead and all the huurtons that pop out are dead.
Repeat for about 2 hours.
About 12-15 huurton stalkers total will pop out per lair. Huurton stalkers hit your weapon XP cap, and they don't have any really nasty special attacks... easy prey, full credit so to speak.
As a brawler, I can do this just with buffs, I don't even need to wear armor.

As a master rifleman i can usually cap rifles twice within 3 hours (and i have the time to convert also in the middle of the buff naturally). Endor is the key. Roam and kill. One wild 64k/5'er merek lair can spawn 35+ mereks (without any respawn tricks etc. just "intelligent tapping" without ever leaving lair vicinity). That's about 17k combat xp/lair at best. I have managed to cap rifles in 45 minutes. Naturally the spawn situation in general affects your result. Sometimes spawns are just lousy (oh, how do i hate those warrens...). Rancor Valley is good too, but my tests have shown that i can't do as good there as in Endor. Maybeas a swordsman i could, but as a rifleman i just can't kill rancors fast enough to reach the results i get from Endor.

1 buff session. Master doctor buffs. 2500 all stats, for 3 hours.
Master commando, with good comp armor, that gives atleast 70%heat protection.
Lots of Proton grenades. Get in a solo group, with 10+ people. Go to Dathomir Science outpost. Get Giant Baz Nitch, Kamurith snappers, nocuous kamuriths, kamurith snappers and craggy bolma missions.
Get them in SW direction also, and go back and forth, until you max your combat exp, using proton grenades only. (Use your normal weapon, flamethrower or wahtever, to finish lairs, if nothing is spawned, save a few grenades). 4 lairs should give you 300k combat exp, in about 25 - 30 mins. Then you can rush to the village, and turn it in, and rinse repeat. That gives about 400k fs exp, in 1 buff session. (I have done that 12 times now, gotten 500k in 2).
Hope that helps.

Find a good cave....TKM/Master Fencer - cap both of those + 180k combat xp in50 minutes...that's right...when I'm the only person at the Squill Cave... that's 120k FS experience...though I've never just sat down for three hours and done it...I could theoretically get all 24 boxes in 24 days with ease...that sounds tidy

Master Swords/TK/Brawler and I can cap both professions and all of combat xp in a single buff session. The maximum amount of spawns occurs at level 110 missions. Anything higher than that and the mission reward just gets larger. On a fresh set of buffs, I cap out TK first because it has a higher mind cost than any of my 2h weapons. Even if I'm slacking a bit and lose my mind, 2 brandies while grinding with 2h will keep me going.
Once TK and 2h is capped, you should have at least 180k in combat xp. Use c12 grenades (while you still can if you believe the rumors) and you should get around 60-80k combat xp on a single lair and using a single crate of grenades. Killing two lairs with grenades is all it should take to cap your combat xp. By the time you make your trip to the village and return to your hunting ground, your buffs should be expired or close to expiring.
Huurton stalkers and voritor hunters are my creature of choice for killing. Both are weak to kinetic and blast (which is best for my template). I'm speed capped on both professions and use very good weapons for grinding (though not my best). These also make a world of difference.

I can cap my 1h and 2h in one buff session doing Huurton Stalker lairs and hitting up the Mokk SH at some point if not already taken for a quick 260k xp. I do keep grenades on me but don't use them that much but I'm looking to use them more cause it does seem to be more efficiant.

Yes pistol exp comes slower than other profession but don't forget what skills you posess. /Pointblankarea2 while standing on a spawn or lair will help you a lot more than you know it. I'm stuck using /pointblankarea1 right now until I progress a little further and it's been a great help.

DarkReshi, just pretty much all your posts.. and you've posted more inane, misinforming and pointless posts than any one I've met (bar one or two)
my, you DO have a lot of sarcasm inside you today,... damn glad you're not on my server, that's one Jedi with an attitude this game can do without
