Have any of you guys tried Dantooine? The pikets give great xp, about 3.5k xp a kill. Not to mention the great scouting xp for those scouts out there. They are Dantooines version of the Ronto and look very similar, but with spines running down their backs. They have very poor eyesight so it is not that hard to pull singles. If they turn out to be too hard for you there are Hurrtons and Quenkers around which have about 5k less hps, but give less xp, around 2k, and less scouting xp. I've found that the best place is SE of the Agro ooutpost by the lake. Thats about all the info i can give, good luck.

Langlatches on Lok were superb for a few boxes into pistoleer. At some point theyare all white con or lower, but before then they are a top notch hunting place.

Lok is like a weak version of endor...very very high lair density. And to boot, you get langlatch missions at the terminal, so you get cash and XP. Often I would run into a lang lair next to another one. I could rotate spawn and keep the lairs up until I got bored with it...worked quite well. Just watch out for pirates and humanoid agressives...if range = 64 they kill you.

For people looking for Sharnuffs and Tabbages on Corellia check out an area near the center of the map. Draw a line from Tyrenea to Doaba Guerfel and from Coronet to the northwestern town (sorry blanking on the name) and where they meet you'll see some elevations where two rivers come close together. There's a series of mesa's in this area with a lot of rare and aggressive creatures. One day, wandering through, I saw a couple of herds of Sharnaffs and wiped out about 5 tabbage lairs.


Also I agree with the person who posted above about Leviasqualls on Rori. They give excellent exp but can take a while to kill.


For the person who was having trouble targetting the Kima's there's a trick that I just found out a few days ago. When you get blips on your head's up radar face in their direction and start hitting your "Tab" key. This will target and cycle through the available npc's and creatures in that direction. It makes life a lot easier.

I fight Snorbals on Lok a lot. I get between 2500 and 3900 XP per (depending on subtype). The only problems I have is when more than one aggros on being hit. I can still take them, but I takes some running. Plus they dont' DB. They hit pretty hard though, soI alwaysneed some stims on hand.

Flick....

Your bannished.

You bugged Kimas? Shame on you.

Those things hit you for serious damage. It's good they are slow. I still made major leaps in the use of tactics regardless of how slow they are.

having just hit novice pistoleer and using HealthShot2, I get 4-5 people out the back side of Mos Eisley (Behind the starport) and get 2k+ xp per squill (max 3.1k)

The Tabbages have to be bugged, I was fighting them today (first time seeing them)for two hours and never even got hit once. I made a ton of XP. If I am at least 35m away I can hit it with health shot 2 and kill it with regular fire before it gets to me. 400 pistol xp. Definetely felt like cheating after a while.

I havn't been able to find a reliable source for those Ferals....usually I just make a run out to the Sarlacc from Bestine, work my way down to Wayfar, then back over to Bestine. I pop anything along the way and since I have my partner with me, we can take on stuff like some of the dewbacks for exp as well if we can isolate a couple.


Some nights I'll run into bunches of them, other nights not a single one. If anyone knows a more reliable location to find ferals on Tatooine I'd love to know as I want to up my skills a little more before going off planet to Lok, Talus, or Endor.

I can't rmeember what they are called, but they look like dogs with a pig head...can be found on Talus, I was killing them in 2 - BodyShot2, and getting 700exp from them...very fast kill.

The trick is to watch the clock I find. Sure I can get 1500 from a kima, but it takes say 5 minutes to kill one. If I can find a couple of those birds on Talus (little things, almost impossiable to target) i can kill them in 2 shots, get 500-600 exp, they normally group, so tab targetting allows me to kill say 4 or 5 in no time (5 minutes)...so I see that I made 1500 on the kima or 3000 on the birds.

Also gotta factor in downtime in thier as well I Suppose. Kima never touch me. Birds do. I make my own stimpackC, so my downtime is nil....but sometimes it is there.
