Thread: The Pikeman Grind
When you are at 4343 in pikeman, itsa bit pointless to afk it. I suppose you could go to starports on starting planets and kill the trash behind them, but that's about it. Like the post above says, spend two or three hours buffed up on Dantooine.
6-8k credits two or three times is well worth the increased experience you will get from it.
Buffs are 10k, a crate of muon will run you 6k. Get both.
Go to Dathomir, and run Giant Baz Nitch missions. They are 11k per (one almost pays for your expenses). These missions have -6- critters per lair, and the lair itself... brings in close to 35k exp. You can do these missions in around 3 minutes, leaving you time to jump on your speeder, get to the next one, and finish it off, before the downer.
In that 3 hour timeline you will get your last two boxes, and you will make a half-decent amount of cash. Don't be an AFKer that everyone hates... go have fun with your chosen profession! 
This is pretty much what I do as well and there are always other creatures near by when the Nitches are done. Also...go to Dant and get Long Horn Pickets, two lairs in the same direction. Go to the first lair kill the preliminary spawns then run to the second lairand kill those, then run back to the first and they will have spawned again without you touching the lair.You cango back and forth milking it for the whole night. Only draw back isfew credits to show for your effort. A friend of mine does this allot cause being broke is normal for him. Probably works with other creatures as well, we just like to harvest the pickets.

I've been doing pretty much the same thing suggested above so far. It helped that I had 300K combat xp banked up, so that I could get the extra accuracy right away. But you can rake in xp if you get buffs, decent set of armor, head to dantooine and do pikets (don't forget to leave your grouped droid at the city for the extra group xp bonus). What I do is head up to the lair and attack it, this gets all the pikets attacking me in a nice little circle, then I use spin attack repeatedly to kill them. It's kind of fun to have 6 pikets chewing on you while you are spinning around like a madman. I'll generally have to take some brandy and canape to make sure my mind stays high as well, but you can get roughly 40K xp per lair, which is pretty nice I'd say.
I'm hoping it will go even faster once I pick up some more of the spin attacks and some extra speed. Good luck to you.
Hi,im curious if this would work for someone that isnt rich,i have ok armor the Ubease,but i cant afford the doc buffs and that stuff for 6k. Will this work for me doing those missions? Or would i be toast? Im on the Kuari Server so in Corellia Cornet the doc buffs ive seen so far is they ask for 12k tips,i cant afford that
