If you're already a Pistol Specialist, my advice would be to invest in the best pistol you find and start taking destroy missions.(This is especially good if you already have Slicing I.) Take two missions that are in the same direction. Without wearing any armor, I can EASILY with little risk wipe out bageraset lairs. Each trip now nets me about 5500 credits and well over 10K in experience. Wash, rinse, repeat.


Or, get into a group going somewhere dangerous.


(P.S. Get on the bazaar and buy plenty of Stimpack B's.)

Alright, now I know there are actually a lot of Master Smugglers out there, and I was looking for advice. I have DF One: Feign Death, but that took me quite a long time. Now my question is, where the HELL are you people getting this crazy xp needed for not only DF, Underworld, but pistoleer, too!



Thanks in advance,

Banthas. =). Banthas are slow and easy to warning shot. Threaten shot works too. Once you tire them out they run even slower. Lay down at max range. Put healthshot on. peace. Wait.... tic and it spissed. Start rollshot over and over (this IMO is the fastest/most dmg you have before doubletap/lastditch). When it begins to get too close (40-30m is too close) spam a few warning/threaten shots. hit peace when it starts to run away and let it get to 50-55m before opening fire again.


Rinse and repeat. Rogue banthas are 609 solo 776 grouped. Feral are something like 1100 grouped, 900ish solo.


Oh and find a good master weaponsmith and get a bad to the bone scout blaster. Mine before slice was 57-117, 1.9 speed. Cost me 2k. Sliced for speed it was 1.4 speed.

I've noticed novice marksmen complaining on where to hunt so Im starting this thread to help them out.



Im not much of an expert on where to hunt at low lvls I just know what to hunt on Tat


0 - 1 bubbles: This shouldn't take long just kill whatever you can kill I suggest kreetles low exp but you can kill em supa fast.


1 - 2 bubbles: I think this went faster then 0 - 1 cuz you can find some of the mobs on the mission term.


I usually got sevvort missions they give like 187 or something pretty easy to kill even with starter weapon.


2 - 3 bubbles: At this point I suggest buying abetter weapon. After buying a better weap go check out the mission terms. There should be missions to kill diseased boccats. Diseased boccats give 275 somewhat exp. Get to in the same direction and kill things along the way. After awhile you should be pretty close to getting the third bubble. :smileyhappy


3 - 4 bubbles: I honestly don't know the best way I went with the boccats still and it took forever so ill leave this answer to the people that do know.

I feel your pain. Took 5 1/2 months for me to get all the pistol xp for master. There is a spot just outside of Kadaara on Naboo that has some thugs near the beach. They are good for about 50 - 100 xp each, but they spawn and attack all the time. You can set up there and go afk. They aren't powerful enough to really kill as they con blue.


I liked getting pistol xp on Dantooine. I would bleed and FD everything around. You can easily do 150K an hour there.

go to darthmir (sp. bad) take giant Naiz i thing that is how u spell them lvl 40 u get about 25-40k a lair that u kill (includes the Naiz as well) i went up the pistol line real quick. The Naiz are heat so take out your good fwg5 and a pet or something and then watch the pts rack up and u also get about 11k per lair so 22k for the missions.

Even against things that don't deathblow I use FD because I find it faster to get knocked 1/4 down my HAM, regen andquickly bodyshot2 (or 1 or just a lucky health hit) the critter then start on the next. It seems faster than regen from negatives.


At Dirty Fighting 1 you have Feign Death already and it is your friend. Just check the more recent threads in this forum about it so you're not surprised.

Ok, i'll get right to it. I have no desire to be a smuggler, not be cause it isn't a cool class (cause slicing is kinda cool, randomness sucks but cool). I am doing smuggler simply because my Holo said so. I looked through the smuggler board here and cannot find my answers so I'll post a question or 2.


Right now I am 0/3/1/4. Slicing and crafting easy - took like 3 hours (by hand, no macro). I am wondering what is the fastest, easiest way to get the pistol xp. As it stands, I am a master doctor, but will drop to 2/2/4/4 when the time comes and I need the skill points. I have a pre-nerf FWG5 pistol that I am using. The best shot I have is BodyShot2 or HealthShot1, both seem to do close to the same dmg, the bleed sucks. I tried kill a Fambaa yesteday for 3500ish pistol xp but it took literally 7-8 minutes. Now I was a master tka and these lasted about 20 seconds. Am I doing something wrong or is smuggler just not a good combat class and I am going to have to suck it up and take a couple weeks to get this pistol xp? Thanks in advance.


btw, please don't flame me, I only ask for help.
