Hello PPL,
I read alot of ppl saying that they cap XP (Usually 900K) in a single BUFF session inMelee and even Ranged. How??
Please can someone explain what they mean by 1BUFF session pls. I assume Health/Action/Mind.
Does this include stacking up foods and other stuff enhancements that are not being mentioned.
Typically I get a top Master Dr Buff and a 120mind/125%focus/Will buff from a Decent Musician/Dancer- Dont really bother with food. Even without a solo-group (wearing decent Full Composite) using the best pistol avail against my enemies Vunerability etc......getting surrounded by a mob will not kill me (in most cases) but wack my HAM to a point where I gotta sit down and recover which burns time
Im a master pistoleer, can someone be kind enuff to tell me where im going wrong where you elites are going right.
Mant Thanks

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.

I found that grinding on Endor I could cap Master Rifle in an hour and a half easy. Endor has so many spawns that you just run up and spam your area attacks (StrafeShot 2 for me) and you will pickup 900k ina very shorttime.
As for Capping Combat XP, get into a group and grind using the C12 method on Dathomir (baz nitch missions i found to work the best, 5k combat xp per nitch if grouped, 4k solo). I usually capped Combat XP in about 2 hours using nades. Major downside to using C12's are you go through armor like mad and your BF goes through the roof.
Hope this helps!

I have been capping combat xp twice per entertainer buff (not doctor buff) using thermals on quenkers in a large solo group.

Where on Wanderhome are you finding large solo groups? I've tried every night this week and am hard pressed to find any group over 10. Fully buffed, all my grenades unpacked and PUPed, but no large solo groups. Very discouraging I must say.

When i did it i was tkm and could cap 900k xp in about 2 hrs or 3 tops if i dilly dally. Just get in a solo group and i did the 13k quenker missions. You tap about 75k-80k xp per lair. Takes only like 5-8 mins per lair. Even if you don't kill things on the way to your missions or back from your missions it is still easy to cap. So you get about 150k xpper round. What you can also do, because some may not want to sit there and throw 8439734 c12 nades (which is fine cause you gotta make the grind fun) I would also use 2 full nades (5 throws per nade so i used 2 of them) on the first spawn then use my tkm the rest. You rack up an extra 3-5k combat and you dont have to sit there and throw em all mission. So when i would cap the 900k using the 2 rounds of nades on the initial spawn i would have 900k xp and 130-150k xp combat just doing that. Yes your combat isnt capped but it only takes an extra minute per lair and instead of 90k-93k combat xp you will almost double it.
It is pretty easy to cap under 3 hrs unless you get side tracked alot and do other things

For me, Master Swordsman+Rancors=900KWeapons/90KCombat XP in 45 min, then i use the rest of the buff to cap out rifles XP, im averaging 100-120K FS XP per 2 hour buff session.

Simple, pistols is probably a bad profession to be grinding FS xp with. fanshot is nice but its a cone not area. it can easily be done using area attacks.

When I was doing it I went to Endor with swords and walked from the smugglers outpost to the jinda caves. I would kill any spawn lair with yellow or Red dots. Mostly I would look for Mereks or Webmaster lairs since they have a very large spawn right before the lair blows up. Then I would walk back to the shuttle after capping swords (about 45 minutes to an hour) then shuttle off to dant. Head north and switch to TKM. I would kill and janta's, or force users I could find. What you are really looking for is Graul lairs or graul mauler lairs. when you attack these the spawn about 30 before you are done. I was usually able to cap out TKM and swords in about 2 hours doing this as well as cap out scout.

Hello,
I am a Master Pike/Master Doc. My buffs last 3 hours, 20 min and I can max to 900/90xp and then some in one buff session. I hit Mutant and Giant Baz Nitch lairs on Dath for 60k-70k xp per lair. Endor is also great. Just start walking around, killing everything in sight. Always check the Jinda cave for a quick run. Also the Mokk Stronghold on Dantooine is great for some quick xp (usually 400k for me there). Only food/drink I use is Brandy and Canape. Don't usually get mind buffs.
