Just one more thing m8. When i started out i did a lot of faction missions, and they gave me descent cash. As a total newbie I made about 40-50k pr day, playing about 4-5 hours. A good place could be restuss on rori, the distances are very short there. Take to missions in the same dir, the difficulty is up to u, then u should be able to make some fast cash to get u some nice armor and weapons, which really helps. In addition u get faction points, which u can use to get armor, weapons and a Stormtrooper helper. The Stormtroopers function very good as a shield, and will let u do tougher missions.


Good luck. And btw, dont do CH with pistoleer, ull get ur ass kicked in pvp.








First off, i was hoping to remain nuetral for awhile... so been avoiding faction missions personally.


As with the CH thing. I know... but i dont really care to be "uber" i just want to be capable. The pets are to help with PvE while i gain the all the Pistol XP needed to master both. Dont want to go with the cleche TKA/Smugg/Pistoleer, so probably just gonna play around with the remaining points.


Thanks for the advice peeps

Okay i have read as many guides to this as possible. but they simply dont work to well. Here is my problem.


I am still new. only about 3-4 weeks into the game. im an experieced player in general and of MMOGs.


I am however a solo minded individual so i dont like asking/begging for help. Instead i need alittle advice.


I have decent (not great) pistols and Novice pistoleer with PMD1. I also have Fiegn Death from Smugglers Dirty Fighting.


I am having problems with geting pistol xp and frankly cash. My missions are at the highest diffuculty 15 and half of those would take to much time or to much risk to actually take. So my normal is Diffuculty 13. Thats roughly 1500 creds a mission on average. I am still grinding through Smuggler related skills so my money sinks arent BAD but i dont make enough to truly get anywhere. The highest amount of cash ive ever had on me was 40k and that was right before buying materials to get Spice 4.


I am hunting on Corelia and naboo but not making as much as I think would be possible. With my skillset and current lack of any major funds (so no uber comp armor guys), should i stick to the hutning im doing or move to a differant planet??







go to dathomire....get 11k missions(giant baz niches).......get buffs & armor......equip that FWG5..........xp flies

I''m in the same postion as you.


Get a doc buff, muon, and head to the droid cave on Lok (The one that is in Nym's quest, it is full of easy white and yellow cons)


Great for Xp, not for cash.

For some extra cash don't over looking hide harvesting from scouting skills. No matter how much I dump on the bazaar at night for 3cpu its always gone when I log on. Some times if you get some good stuff you can make even more. An armorcrafter saw me hunting banthas on Tat and offered me 20cpu for the wooly hide since it was really good at the time.

Dang Wilbur you look almost exactly like me heh

Just so others know i dont mind getting buffs... but for the most part becuase of my play times im seriously on my own. The town i now live in because they are active around my times speak nothing but german it seems.... but at least they are around and not a bunch of memorex bots lol.


Anyway... tried to Quanters thingies... got owned.


To give you an example of how bad it is right now. I went after a regular Hurton doggy. Got it alone and seperated fro its pack when i attacked... couldnt knock it down... was losing life so fast it wasnt funny.... Figndeath, regenerated... stood up and started again.. same results.


Couldnt even take down 1 of them. and the lair had another 5 before even dealing with Tap pops.


So basicly it would kill the 2-3 hours at a time playtime i have to search out buffs. and if without them i cannot take on even hurtons... what CAN i take on??


Or am i screwed here? im actually having fun... but would like to be able to advance like everyone else... seems ive hit a pretty bad stall point.

Try the Theed, Coronet, or Dathomir (trade) Outpost starports. There's usually a doctor there at most times of the day.


From Theed, hit Endor and solo missions. From Coronet, hit Dantooine for good soloable missions. On Dathomir, you can almost always hook up with a group and take potshots at the rancors.


And get novice medic and buy crates of Stim-Bs, and buy muon gold and some mind-enhancing chef food.


If buffed, you probably won't need to use the stims. (But if you do need the stims, you'll have 'em.) You will need to be able to slug down some Fishak or some Glazed Glucose to keep yourself from being incapped when your muon wears out.

dude my suggestion is to do what any combat class has to for money, sell uber loot. so despite what server your on head out to fort tusken on tat group up if you want the xp boost and kill and loot. i gota rifle that sold for 500k and a rare force crystal drop that sold for 600k, boom 1.1 mil like that ive also been told that the new tailor items drop there and since the devs killed the carnage champion and the fun spawn you have nothing to worry about but warlords. Word of advice though don't go there unbuffed, and learn to hit the feign death button by instinct.


i have master tkm for pvp and the powerboost personal buff, but i enjoy pistols as i see them as star wars, han solo was a pistoleer as was luke before he was a jedi.
