I got an easy 250k in 3hrs at ls 0030 doing solo groups with area attack 2 - doing mobs one by one is slowing you down. I used leg hit3 to take out the strays.

If force is a problem take up another novice box or 2, the temptation of channel before ls 0040 should be avoided if possible

are you using a 1st gen or 2nd gen saber? you mention only one crystal, so i'd guess a 1st gen. using a 2nd gen would allow more damage, thus faster xp gain, but at greater force drain.

honestly, though, perhaps you shouldn't be so concerned about what the guides say. you'll get there when you get there, and i personally can't imagine going straight up double bladed with only novice healer. it's seems it would be nearly impossible to keep enough force to mount effective attacks.

good luck, though, and happy hunting.

At this point you can definately benefit from a large solo group that will let you pull missions with higher difficulty. Level 99 missions spawn 4 mobs per wave, level 110+ missions spawn 5 per wave. Missions you can pull yourself of with a pet spawn only 2 mobs per wave. If you are milking lairs, you can get 5 waves of mobs from each--this is how you make up the extra difference in xp per hour.

Here is an example using crazed gurrecks, lets say at 650 per critter:

2 mobs x 5 waves = 10 mobs x 650 = 6500 xp per lair.
5 mobs x 5 waves = 25 mobs x 650 = 16250 xp per lair.

That's almost 10k per lair, if you do 4 lairs per hour, over a 3 hour buff, that is another 120k per buff, and even 3 lairs per hour makes it 90k per buff.

As some people have said before , its really a good idea to get channel when LS0030 instead of waitng till LS0040 .. this way you can area attack whatever w/o downtime and get 200 to 300k per buff session

I could do that before gettin channel. Now it just lets me use my stronger gen 2. I got it because i was putting in less grind time.

Creatures at lair = Spawn 1
Tap 1 time = Spawn 2
leave (go 150+ms away from lair and stay that far for 1 minute or more) and return
Creatures at lair = Spawn 3
tap 1 time = Spawn 4
lair at 50% = Spawn 5

Majorfly wrote a great guide to "milking" lairs here.

erm... I actually get 5.8 waves:

1st at lair
2nd after first tap
3rd after lair gets to halfway point - leave ONE alive
4th at lair after return
5th after tapping
6th after halfway part (make sure u stop hitting lair when 3rd wave starts popping)

Doing seething bols on dantooine - and can't seem to get more than 4 per wave, that's 23mobs per lair, each giving about 800 xps or 18.4k xps in total. For 2 lairs that's 46 mobs, or 36.8k xps per trip.

I find that each pair of lairs takes about 30mins. So that's 73.6k xps per hour or approximately 220k per 3hr buff. Doing borgle life sappers on endor, I was hitting about 80-90k xps per hour, but they deathblow... also if u get an ararchne queen on you with poison, then that wastes you a good 10-15mins or even a death...

I'm ls 0/0/3/0 + novice enhancer, novice healer and novice defender I have -8fc 20/20dmg crystal in a 1st gen saber. I have zero problems with my force pool and with the tka meditate line in my template, the disease doesn't bother me. I'm currently working on ls 0/0/4/0 and intending to go enhancer 0/0/0/2 (channel force) next.

Hope this helps

It's my one year anniversary today
