Also, I can have up to level 24 pets at the mo - any idea of creatures with ranged attacks that would be useful?

Hi Welcome back
How useful is Trcking 3?
Tracking as a whole is cool but not as great as I thought it would have been. Basicly it's a list of the creatures in the area, wich can only be helpfull, would have like the skill more if you could track a creature by name. anyway I've only been master ranger on another server for a little while. Basicly with the state of wild creatures if you want to use tracking for taming it's not at all usefull since almost all BE pets are better, for rare pets, the best way to get em is to spend time, even then you got a rare pet that's still not as good as a BE pet. now later after we get our much promised CB it's possible that there will be many wild pets worth tracking. Bottom line, if you go for tracking go for it for reasons other than finding pets to tame.
Secondly, anyone have any tips on the best way to get XP?
With any question you'll get many many answers to this. My answer is Geo Caves. currently the Geo caves are full of Jedi during busy times. You go to a room, stand in a corner, get a pet with a ranged attack, and as Jedi start destroying everything in sight, make sure the pet get a few hits on everything in the room. If you go at a good time and find a good room, you'll get level after level without moving. I was getting about 900xp per kill, every few minutes. you should be able to master in about a week. The best way to master in a few days is to pay a master Ch to go with you to train so you don't have to leave the caves. Getting in and out can be a challange sometimes.
I found in my personal play, medic isn't helping me. The reason is because I don't do anytihng worth doing without buffs, so i've since moved on to using the medic skill points for TKA meditaiton skills.
This is all IMO. Others may not agree. Although about the Geo cave xp thing, I tested it, it works very very well if done right.

Ive been to the caves and never had a problem with attacking mobs in there. Basically you just send in your pet for one hit and recall it again. This way you will get full XP. Just make sure the mob is in combat so not to get agro.

K cheers for the replies guys - I'll keep medic thenI don't use buffs at all really (a whole different topic but basically don't like quadrupling my stats, I use brandy as ~450 to my stats for 40 mins seems acceptable). Also it means I don't have to get annoyed with medics healing the AFK tumblers while I am injured in the corner
My only concern with the Geo caves etc is don't the players there all start giving you grief if you start attacking things they are fighting?
Nah they don't care, the mobs only last a few seconds and everyone get's plenty of XP so no one complains, plus you don't get loot rights so they still get all the loot they want. As far as ranged goes I forget the levels of all the variuos ranged pets,Cu-Pa mounts have ranged for starters. Low ham but it's a start.

Tracking 3 gives you a range. Tracking 2 will give you NPC's. Tracking 1 animals.
Most of the tame, finding a tameable creature is based on "running into them" I've never tried to track a baby before.

Thanks for your replies guys - I'll go check it out. Plus I found my Voritor has a ranged attack so that will do the job nicely

- To target yourself, do CTRL+1. When you have a target, either yourself or another person, type /image. (I think if you just type /image with no one targetted, you will image design yourself by default. Not positive, though.) Pick out a change to make. Wait for the Commit button to light up (2 minute delay). Hit it. Hope the other person hits Accept and not Cancel. Lather, rinse, repeat.
- As for gig missions, check out this old post I wrote.
