Pikeman Archive

ok heres the dealio i was a pikemen (1122) dropped it for BH and im finding out that i rather go melee. ok well anyway what is the fastest way to get from polearm 3 to novice pikemen. i have 74% kinetic ubese on at all times xping and a speed sliced LVA. im about half way through polearm 4, but im just havin a hell of a time gettin the xp for some reason. im killin anything red or yellow on my current planet tatooine. that includes the following: all bantha, rinto, giant worts, draggon nets, and all types of dewback. any tips to help a brother get back to pikemen?

Do what i did... get full doctor buffs, get plenty of Muon Gold, and some fishask for when teh muon goes. then head to Moenia, Naboo. open your datapad (ctrl+d) and go to the POI's. turn on the narglatch cave one, and head there on a speederbike or whatever you have. then kill anything red on the way there, but there wont be much. when you get there use your muon and hack away with polearmhit1. i did this on my own a million times, starting from only having polearm 1 learned. after you get polearms IV able to be learned, finish killing off the nargs until the cave is emtpy. from here get new buffs if you need to, or wait for your current ones to go away so you can be rebuffed. then head to dath or dant and kill any pikets or huurtons you come across... i got to Novice Pikeman with 36k xp obtained in 2 days, with a total of ehhh about 5-6 hours play hope it helps

ill try that, lucky for me i got about 7 master docs in my guild so gettin the buffs will be np (none will be on, thats my luck lol) thanx

even thou im still new to pikemen i am how ever a master ch. What i normaly do even thou its very easy is take out 2 pets that = lvl 70 and go do some sharnaff missions solo i normaly take with me merek battlelord and gsp all i use is pet stims and sunburns and i get about 25k exp every 20-30 mins and 13k cash alot of peeps say there for noob peeps so be it at the end of the day im getting good cash and anywhere from 75-100k exp per hr atm im 4012 on pikemen but ive still got so much to learn as ive not seen that many masters on chimera server to ask advice costing me loads to learn skills lol

go grouphunting, the expe is great and the fun will make the time fly by

This is what I did:

Traveled to Restuss on Rori.Left through the east gate.Approx. 150m to the east-southeast is a spawn point with four aggressive trandoshan brawlers. I carefully approached the closest thug until he aggro'd -- they don't swarm so you can pull one at a time. After pulling all four, loot one of them to remove the corpse from the server. He will instantly respawn. Kill the new thug. Loot his corpse. Repeat until you get an empty corpse -- as you klnow, empty corpses don't disappear when you try to loot them. So go loot another corpse, from when you initiallty broke the spawn,and start another cycle. Now just keep repeating the cycle, taking breaks as necessary to heal and let the spawns catch up, if you're fast and end up with four unlootable corpses.

I used a full suit of composite armor to absorb blows, and just let my Long Vibro Axe do the talking -- the Medium AP and the high damage range, plus the speed slice I managed to get, balanced out the heavy accuracy penalties. If the accuracy was ever a problem, I switched to my basic Lance.

Each brawler I killed coughed up around 450 EXP while grouped. You can kill one every 10-20 seconds without a problem, if you know what you're doing. So it's an average of 1800 EXP a minute, or 108000 EXP per HOUR. Realistically, though, you'll be earning probably 70000 EXP an hour, due to the erratic spawns and corpse looting, and even the occasional incap/death if you're really unlucky.

Hope that helps.

Yea, I would say go group hunting. Really, eventually you WILL be able to tank and save your comrade's arses as opposed to holding them up while you slowly regain conciousness, back to the dirt.

hi i am not even a novice pikeman yet , i am at polearm 4.but i go to dantooine with pet(5500 HAM) pet stims and fishask . I get pikets LONGHORN missions (12000 per lair)and go solo using pet as tank i get 1200 -2000 xp per kill ther is 9 pikets in the lair.When u get to the lair ther would be 1 male and 2 female . Attack male 1 st ,kill it , female dont sworm ,then kill females and so on . I used to grouphunting but get 600 xp per kill so it didnt work. TO get LONGHORN missions u gona need to group with somebody and then just leave the group. I use basic lance and traps to slow them down.Good luck . If u on Lowca send Baha tell.

Once you get Multi KD go with full doctor buffs and muon or Dancer Buff go to Dathomir and do Giant Biznatch missons. They give 4-5k exp per. And nest gives 5k exp. There are 6 biznatches per nest, so you should get 35k a nest at least. I started these once I hit Defense 4 in Pikeman.

An easier, less aggrivating way to get the missions, if your below novice is to pick up a probot ("pro-bot? whats that?", "Well lemme tell ya sumthin bout the old days....." nm) Grouping with the pro-bot should get you lvl 32 missions. If you have Ranged support (marksman) you can achive more favorable (1 on 1) situations using warning/threatin shot, takes a bit to get used to but when you get the hang of it you can send one or two running, deal with the one you didn't threaten then chase the others down. Basically you want to spam waning shot untill the beast turns tail then peace out immediately and it'll keep running untill well outta aggro range. They can sneak back tho so watch your radar, oh and non-aggro con's only.

Lowca huh, when you get to novice /tell Ovy if you need training I'll help you out when ever possible.
