I thought I would pass it along. My home city is on Lok, so the easiest thing for me to do is to wipe out gurks.I can never find a solo group when I need one, so I found Gurks. I pull between 80k and 150k (and have gotten 200k while in solo group), per nest as a commando 4/1/0/0 within 2 to 3 nest I have enough combat xp to max out. You also have the chance of getting Gurk King Hides (selling for 50k-100k each depending on who's buying). If you take these as missions and get Gurk lairs, you will only average 30k per lair, but you get a pay out, but no Gurk King Hides. This is just a little trick to help out those who can't necessarily find a solo group or who don't want to be bothered by NS or Rancors. With the current spawn rate on Lok, you can find nests almost anywhere and sometimes several next to each other. Find a good spot and just start nading. I will go through about 5 out of a crate of imp dets to kill a nest without pups, or 4 with. If you want an alternative to giant baz then this is definately lucerative and easy.
Hope this helps some people.

This mean there are at least 15-30gurks spawn from each lair (assuming 5500 max xp)? What are you grouped with? ATST? Are you saying you just stick to wild spawns? When you say taking missions you get 30K, I'm assuming you're referring to combat xp and not credits?

Yeah..secret is out...
I have been doing this since I was grinding 2-hand on these nests. You don't have to worry about NS, but Canyon Corsairs and Nym's are 3 times more likely to be around. Add in low faction, and you still have some aggro problems.
But...the wild spawns are all over and they dump tons and tons of Gurks...and yeah, capping even with thermals happens quite fast.

This is pretty exciting, if only from the point of view that I *hate* Dathomir.. I don't find it difficult by any means, but it's a drab and depressing planet that takes ages to drive anywhere. Lok has these marvellous open expanses, and night isn't nearly as dark as on Dath or Endor. And from the point of view that it's sometimes difficult to find a solo group.

Yes you can get 30+ gurks in a nest, and not grouped just solo. (icky at-st, pooey, I'm reb lol). Yes, just stick to wild spawns, they come in three varieties Nests (with gurk kings), thickets, and rock piles. Seems that the rock pileshave more than 30 gurks most of the time, if they are milked but do not produce gurk kings. If you take missions from a terminal for gurk "lairs" you can only get about 30k combat xp out of them, not nearly the spawn of a wild lair, payout is only about 9k if solo. If you are in a solo group and getting max spawn and xp you can cap quickly. I haven't taken a nest solo that I haven't gotten at least ~90k combat xp solo without a group (3 nests and you are done).
