You'd probably waste more time getting to commando to use grenades than it would take just to grind the combat xp in the first place with pistoleer. Unless you have all of pistoleer except for the combat xp line, you should have more than enough combat xp by the time you're done.

so it seems there may in fact be a bit of merrit to the grenade idea.

i understand what you are saying, but everyone is certified to use C12s from the get go. you don't need commando to use them. that is why they are all the rage at the moment (except for wookies)
as i stated in my post, it was amazing to fill a combat XP box as quicly as i filled a weapon XP box!

here is an idea. perhaps not a great one, but an idea none the less.
there is an AWEFUL lot of talk in the FS forums about using C12 grenades to 'grind' FS XP because you get pure Cobat XP for using the grenades.
why not use the grenades to climb up the Pistol Special Techniques branch which has Pistol Speed in it? as i understand it, you get something like 5k combat XP per Huurton or Quenker (pick your poison) lair. 5,000 combat XP per lair will put you up the Pistol Special Techniques branch pretty dern fast...
again, just a thought.

I'm regrinding tkm and pistols right now. I've done it a couple of times before but what I'm trying now seems pretty good. I mastered TK first to build up my melee defences then got buffed in a solo group, equipped some pieces of composite, brandy, speedsliced DX2 with speed pup and get regular quenker missions.
I just pointblank area1 at the lair and they drop rapidly, once the lair dries up to save time, I unarmedhit3 to take out the lair (too slow as a low level pistoleer). I do the same with hurton huntresses but they take slightly longer to complete so I'm sticking with quenkers for the moment. Once I get tech4 I'll head to Endor and run round fanshotting everything since I can feigndeath when I'm in trouble and meditate off any poisons, the xp gain is pretty fast there and no running to mission terminals every 5 mins.
I know it's not the quickest grind but back when a lot of us started playing it took a lot longer than 4 or 5 playing sessions to master a combat profession. TKM can be done in about 12 hours if you're a sick minded grinder and that seems a little too fast.

Dantooine for quenkers/hurtons, make sure you're in a solo group so you get larger spawns for better xp and a slightly higher xp per kill

Ok POP QUIZ hot shots,
I am a wook, so I get no grenade cret. (yet see 11/10/2k4 TC notes). And I am a 3/2/4/2 Pistoleer. I want to get my speed up so I need combat xp like mad, I have about 98k atm and need 22k more for next box. I have done the solo group thing, I used neutron, and brandy and at the time (original) wook armor now trying to hunt down the better (hunting) armor. Anything else someone could suggest. Or am I just fubar for being a wook and a pistoleer.
And yeah dant/quanks were the best xp just hope the solo group nerf only does things to cred payout and not the xp/critters per lair.

Last time I did it got me a nice BE cl10 pet with good kinetic resists...have him attack a huurton huntress/stalker lair while I spam fanshot... (I went straight up the tech tree)
Took me about 3 days total I guess from no marksman to master...but have a really good scout, and a very good republic helped.
also I found that Seething Bols are excellent to attack if you have a prenerf fwg5...krayt even... Ive got a really nice 1.0 spd high max damage fwg5 and seething bols who are vulnerable to heat have been dropping like flies...being able to heal my own disease though has helped...

I masterd pistoleer in about 3-4 days not that much off play mabey 3 hours a day to 4 hours.
First got the skill box to use Geo Pistol. Got a fast one and hunted Grual Mullers in a solo
group in dant. The missions were great i was getting 60k-100k on each mission and used health
shots to take them down fast. Somethimes though It would mess up and i only would get about 30k-40k
per lair. But most of the time i got the high xp 100k and somethimes over.

the best rick is to do BH pistols BEFORE you attempt master pistoleer, you get more speed and accuracy in those four blocks than in the whole pistoleer proff, but after you get the master youll be able to drop BH if you want and still be effective.

Master pistoleer seemed like a very easy grind to me actually, after I got about half way to master I ground out the rest on janta missions and some time at fort tusken and got to build up my bank account at the same time. Just get some good composite and make sure to get mind as well as heath/action buffs and always take some brandy along so you can hit the npc's with special after special.
