#2 Go to Dathomir and kill Chickens

Don't use Muon, use Vasarian Brandy (example from Intrepid you can take 2 for +408 to all mind stats for 44minutes and you will be able to take more before the first wears off) and Canap (+'s to focus and willpower should be able to get +400 to both for same amount of time). That combo is far superior to Muon and no downer. Also get 75%+ kinetic composite sliced for ham and get full master doctor buffs. Make sure you are only using post patch VL's and LVA's sliced of course.

Stats of new weapons on Intrepid:
Long Vibro Axe - 110-378 4.4 Spd -19 Ideal Range 77/65/33 20K
Vibrolance - 97-303 3.9 Spd+1 Ideal Range 60/77/33 13K

dude, if he takes Vasarian Brandy he won't be able to take Breath of Heaven and thus get the infamous killing-himself-with-specials-effect, unless ofcourse he gets a Doc buff or eat some food to compensate(WonWon + Kiwik Clusjo Swirl f.e.). I recommend the BoH, WonWon and muonG combi because of it's ten minutes Godmode. Get some blue milk for unexpected downers, but be sure to have the timer(this is a nifty new atttribution)under control

I found out killing kliknicks on yavin works best for me. Electricity vulnerable and there is always an overabundance of them.

I did say get full master doctor buffs, that's not an optional component to leveling.

I understood perfectly.

My comment was, how do I get more time to play with a demanding job etc.

It was a joke.

I already started doing what was suggested (with some changes).

Chickens = Baznitches

It's kinda silly but just get some nice ubese, doc buffs, vasarian brandy and vegnarian canape and head to Dantooine. Once there take missions for quenkers or huurtons and slay all quenkers/huurtons you see on the way. Your ideal target is a huurton howler lair.

Once at the lair target the lair itself with AE attacks then just keep spamming. You can mix different AE's to get different affects, but just keep up the AE. With good enough armor and buffs you should be able to easily withstand the critters attacking you. Ideally you want 5+ critters around so as to max the efficiency of your AE attacks. Hopefully they will be healing the lair and keeping a steady stream of critters your way. You might mix in warcry if you want but it's not really necessary.

At peak grinding I was able to gain 375k xps in one hour doing this (although I have pretty good gear and I was 4 boxes shy of master that that point). This was the fastest melee xps I've obtained playing SWG although I would chalk that up to the buffs, my equipment, my other skills, etc., more than the overwhelming uberness of pikes. :-)

But seriously get the buffs and the armor if you don't have them and start dishing out the spam. I did this in only 65% kinetic ubese so it doesn't take too much. The buffs will pay themselves off in no time.

In general I enjoy leveling more when, as you metnion, it's a secondary concern. I like to go hunt Aakuans or nightsisters, or do something interesting like that to get my xps. But sometimes you just want to be master -now-.

<goes out to buy ubese armor>

AAAW DAMNIT!!

oh well wookiees are gettin armor 1 soon, i guess i can wait that long.

Quick clarification....

does the AOE attacks affect a full circle around you? Or is it a cone like the pistol and LLC specials?
