I took the advice on the boards here, trying to level on Dantooine with Pikets, Huurtons, and Quenkers. I got bored, and on my server started to have hunts every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night, at the Rancor Fields and Rancor Lake on Dathomir. No missions, just running out there in groups and killing. Not only am I making a ton of money from the meat, hide and bone I am harvesting, and taming babies, (I am also Master CH) but for the time I spend in the the game, being only able to really play on the weekends, I am leveling pretty fast. I should be Master Pikeman by Saturday, (50k xp from being 4/3/4/4). i know the people can do this in two days, but for someone who actually has a job, and or life, this is the way to go. With buffs and a rezzor in your group, you can do no wrong, and I actually use composite armor, not the ubese everyone says. Using the Vibro Axe, I am getting between 1.5k and 4k xp on the different rancors. Just thought I would pass this on, since, at least on my server, I have never seen so many new Pikeman in my time in the game. Might actually have more Pikeman than Jedi now.



On second thought, probably not, but maybe close.

You know, since you are on dathomir anyway, I have found a good xp source there too.


Purbole hunters. You know, those stupid monkey looking things.


May sound crazy but they give awesome xp/time spent. You can kill those little buggers in a couple of hits and get like 2k xp for each of them. Wander around dath and find a pack of them and lay waste.


Rancors take like 5x as much time to kill and only give double the xp. Give them a try guys.

Mountain Worrts on Tat are also very good exp/time spent. Grouped, bout 2200 each. Same goes for bocatts. Especially if you get a wild lair. They spawn so fast it's ridiculous. I found a wild Bocatt lair, tapped it once, and then I just sat there spinning in circles with my pike stuck out in front of me. I had never seen so many corpses in my life!

I always like the bit about anyone who plays more than however many hours the poster does has no life. I know people who think 1 hour playing SWG is sad, I guess it's all down to what you as an individual want to do.



Anyway, that aside I find the best way to level is to monitor swgcraft.com and see what harvestable resources are new in galaxy and good in that resources important stats. I have an alt who is a master doc and will pay for example 60cpu for good avian meat and 20cpu for good herbivore meat. Amounts though are important, if I am levelling Pike or Carbine on a particular resource I will buy in small amounts happily, however if I am not getting that resource myself or through hired hands amounts less than 20k are no good to me so it is always a good idea to check/take commisions from crafters.



If you take 2 weeks to level you will be hunting at least 2 different types of animals, probably on different planets so it gives a bit of variation. Obviously the longer you take the more of the galaxy you will be visiting.



Example:


If you do a 9k Piket mission you can make another 9k from the meat you harvest. That's good money and you are killing anyway.



Of course credits don't matter to some so speed levelling is the key but if they do and you want to buy that NS lance smart play will mean you have the credits in the bank from levelling to do so.

I am just usually on Dath anyway, and like hunting there. When I get back, I just split all my hide, meat, and bone into stacks of 1k, and put them all on the bazaar for 6000 credits per stack. Don't want to waste my time spamming trying to sell it, and it goes real quick on the bazaar.

People only say that because they want to have all day too. We're just jealous, so we mock you.
