Thread: easiest way to level?
If you don't mind grouping and combat Fort Tuskin is a good place to get lots of med XP. The trick is not to fight except in selfdefense as fighting will slow down your healing. Just keep an eye on your mind bar as it will drop fast with lots of healing. If the group is smart they will allow the medics time to rest their minds between combat. Just make sure to bring lots of stims for the fighting in the fort and wound packs for healing wounds if the group stops to camp.
I suggest you level up at least to Diagnostic 1 and First Aid 1 before going to the fort as this will increase you speed and healing ability a little. You will not be able to craft the good meds right away but buy Stim B's and Wound packs off the bazaar to heal more and get better XP. Healing without medicines will cause Mind wounds on you. The Pharmacology tree will increase the level of medicines you can use. Unfortunately the crafting column is justa pain to get through. Grind through the first level so that you can at least get to the meds that you can use that are atleast somewhat effective.
Depending on how often you play and you ability to stay stocked upon meds you could probably level the medical XP portion of Medic in 4-7 days at Fort Tuskin. You can also group with hunting parties on the harder planets but to be effective you should be at least half way through the medic trees so that you overall healing ability and speed improves and you can better medicines.
Easiest way (not fastest or cheapest mind you)!!
1) Get a commando to fireburn a CH pet that has a high heat resist and very high ham...
2) Setup macro to heal thousands of health wounds...
3) Craft BEC's on practice while healing...
4) Master Medic just like that!
Gragonix is probably right. It's the best method to use, and try to do it as quick as you can before the Devs stop XP for wound healing. Also when you have time and have lots and lots of cash, buy resources, make pretty crappy Stim As, head to the Cantina and heal your dancers and musicians, mainly Dancers though, who burn through Action like crazy when they see a medic/Doctor/CM come through the door.
Strangely enough, I only spent about 1 or 2 hours doing this, becuase when I started, there was more use to crafting Stim As than BECs while going through Medic, due to us not having any Practice mode. This was more economical because I could use them to heal while in battle or when I was just relaxing in the Cantina. The rest of the time, I spent in the Medical Center healing wounds. When I started, they had taken out wounds upon cloning temporarily so it was slow, yet I still hit Master Medic in about 4 days just really doing wound healing. I had been in Beta, so I knew how to go about getting to Master Medic, which was collecting resources for about 3 days, then playing a medic for 4 days (and then playing a Doctor for a week).
Your best bet is to craft BECs until you hit Organic Chemistry 2, then start to make Stimpack -Bs. You'll get a lot of medic XP using them. But go out in any hunting groups, offer your services and head to cantina's when you have time.
Remember...don't expect to make a lot of cash until you really hit Master Medic, but after that you can start to make some cash selling Stim Bs.
