Guys, read the Jedi Profession boards, that's why they're there

There has been a few posts on this topic already.

Summary for the Jedi grind:

1. GROUP with several ranged ppl.
2. The ranged ppl stay 33+ meters away from the Jedi AT ALL TIMES!
3. The Jedi gets in ONE hit on a creature.
4. The ranged ppl then kill it quickly before the Jedi takes too much damage. Everyone gets good xp doing this, btw.
5. Rinse and repeat.

There have been reports in the Jedi forums that hunting swirl prongs on Endor gets the ranged ppl 5000-6000 xp and the Jedi gets 800-900 or so.

THAT's what a Jedi is supposed to do, until (hopefully) we get a fix and are able to solo again.

Spounds great!

Only problem is for Jedi

I have a large PA which can easily set up assault squads to take these lairs down. However, if I actually hit anything with a special I will gain visibility and have a BH chase me. I will surely end up with -200k XP after each lair

Devs please make vis not work for group members or give us back the ability to solo. At the moment I'm level 79 and use all my effort to kill lvl 60's - for 0xp of course. I got two hits on a lvl79 before he halved my health and had me running...

This is with TKM 0404 All novice jedi and 4344Saber.

Even 2k a kill at 60's would be nice. I would still have to spend 15mins gaining force.. /shrug

sure that works great, as long as you have a bunch of rifleman friends to tag along with you. As a rifleman I know that will get old fast, plus you know someone will always get into range anyway.

The system needs to be fixed so that xp is based upon level with weapon used.

i was in a couple lvl 80 groups today and was only getting around 1.6k rifle xp per kill--I am novice rifleman 2101 with combat lvl 22. Everyone else was getting good xp it seems--any ideas on why i wasn't?

In a group, your CL is temporarily raised to match the highest CL in the group (according to dev posts). The mob levels in the mission will (should - some are broken) be set to the group level. However, the xp you receive is the same as what you would get if you solo'd a mob of the same "con" color (blue, white, yellow). I'm a CL 16 novice commando and I get around 800xp for killing a blue solo. If I group, no matter what level my groupmates are, I will get 800xp for killing a mob that cons blue to the group level.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm basically parrotting information from dev, mod and team lead posts.

Can I also follow up with the "What do paddys do?" question. SOE seems to be too concerned with deadlines. I cant really play the game.

Just wanna play. I will have over 1 year of effort at this pace before I make up my last BH death and get 1 box. The word "absurd" comes to mind.

EXACTLLY!!!

Unfortunately, we cannot get answers to this, either short or sweet. Personally, I believe because the CL is a fix to aschedule shortfall, not the CURB we were promised.

In a group, everyone's CL is raised to match the highest member in the group.
You have to make sure that the group is complete before taking any missions. The CL
of the mission is assigned when it is taken.

Aside from the occasional bug that makes the spawn be too low of a level (which I've
only encountered once or twice), you should be good to go.

SO how do I get xp without getting visiblity?

this is THE question and i think that jedis are mistake made by SOE

now they wana delete that so they make it unplayable

sry you all jedi you paid for nothing

it s an online game so why would i play solo as a jedi? 6 month grinding a least and then you can play solo and fear when you see a blue dot on the radar

cuz now BHs are too strong after ages of complaining on forumsand you can t do nothing

my damn BH alt is stronger than my jedi!!!(jedi 7 month grind BH 3 days)

PVP shouyd be non fs on non fs and jedi on jedi

if a non fs come between 2 jedi he should just fall in pieces

now the CU

i don t know if it s made to please players but if it s the main aim: players are not only the 3% of total players that are complaining on forums

i used to love this game to

sry if there s any mistake,i m learning english

step one. get a well balanced group, few ranged, few melee, having novice medic is a must.

step two. get picket longhorn missions on dantooine, they will either conn 79 or 81 depending on your group, and will spawn around 100 creatures.

step three. have a rifleman or ranged character pull the closest picket to you, usually on the far left or far right of the lair's spawns and then knee cap shot, or root/kd it and bam 6000 to 6500 xp per kill.

step four. rinse and repeat, pulling one or two at a time is key and making sure to slow them on first attack is crucial, u can get 300-400k xp per picket mission and takes about twenty minutes.

I know this guide isnt very complicated but theres a reason, because it isnt as hugely complecated/hard as everyone thinks it is to get xp.

You know THIS is exactly my problem with the CU.

Step one takes vast amounts of time. Not a problem if SWG is the focus of your free time but if you only have a few hours spread over a week this does not work.

The best option I have discovered as a solo player is to take faction missions. As a level 65 TKM grinding swordsman I can take two level 67 missions in Moena, get two kills a mission and make 18K xp (36K in double week) per run. I was able to earn one skill box in two hours.

If you ask me, and you aren't, for the increased difficulty in fighting ANYTHING -the doulbe XP should be come standard.
