Thread: which is the fastest way to lvl tier 4 privateer?
Fly a lot 
Sorry couldn't help myself, I really don't know....I have never been one for the quick and easy path.
I allyways did 'kill' duty missions, they are the correct lvl, and ya get paid.
Yeah, but when you're pure tier 3 doing those against tier 4 craft including agressors is slow and irritating. Once you have a couple of tier 4 skills I'm sure it's ok. I'm going through the same at the moment....

Most of the timeI grind Tier 3 kimogilas in the lok system. Easy to kill, 1.6k xp a pop.
It's slow though. 
As a Freelance, I recommend the Black Sun Duty from the RSF tier4 trainer. Don't bother with the Smuggler's Alliance Duty, the Aggressors make that more trouble than it's worth. Flying a Destroy Duty to completion will get you most if not all of a tier4 box, and the flow of enemies is more reliable than any spawn, not to mention Duty pay. Having tier4 skills is largely irrelevant, since thereare no crafted parts in tier4, and any Level8 parts you get should be REd before you try use them. The only thing that might be a big aid is getting the ships box and flying a Rhix.

Just have droid programs, and your set, heck average of about 7.5k a kill miinus inspiration and good pay/faction, it goes fast, plus the occasional gunboat for 25k.
the thing about kessel is, the xp may be there, but finding what your looking for can be a real pain, spawns can be few and far between, personally, i run around endor looking for tier IVS and IIIs, plenty of em out there, plenty of xp to be had, especially around red sin chimera.

yes, the RSF trainer Black Sun mission is realy nice to grind XPs .. and it is possible to get a rare space drop in that mission too, while i made all the needed XPs with that mission, i had been a little bit lucky and looted two black sun ace helmits .

You didn't go until you finished tier 3?
You pansy.
Ok, I didn't my first time through because I didn't know, but my second pilot went there at either Corsec x2xx or x2x2.
Though you must be pretty careful about what you go after, and I had some pretty decent gear, but it can be done.
Everything was neutral for me, so it was pretty easy.
Factioned pilots probably wouldn't get through it so easy.
I got one or two boxes that way, can't remember.
I don't think it's really any faster or slower since you have to pick and choose, but you kill fewer, though that means fewer chances to get loot.
I mostly just wanted to see if I could do it.
