I've been reading through the boards and gave quenkers a try last night. I am a novice pistoleer/smuggler. The quenkers worked good except I found myself having to "rest" in between each two to allow my mind to recover. I used vasarian brandy which took my mind pool up to roughly 1100.
I've been reading about how people clear lairs in 5-10 min. It was taking me more liketwice thatsince I had to rebuild mind. Do I need stronger brandy or is it just a matter of moving up the skill boxes and getting better speed and accuracy? I seemed to be missing on a fair number of shots with my DX2.

I still feel like I did pretty good for my first time out - got about 120K of experience in around 2.5 hours and 50K in credits (did 10 missions).
Thanks in advance for any advice.

No matter what skills we're using the mind pool should be going up relatively quickly.
Can I ask if you take your armour off between fights? You should never wear any armour unless you anticipate being hit.

A couple of things... you need to see what #s your focus and willpower are...Try toget those high as possible as they are the mind cost and regen rate stats..
1100 mind sounds really low to me, you may need to migrate some stats to mind.(I have 1000 mind to start with)
Also I am guessing you are not taking 325+ power BE enhanced brandy. Be sure to get some of that.you should be able to find~400.
..andmake sure the filling is 50 or less so you can take 2 at a time.
I typically have over 1600 mind and over 1000 on the mind substats and never run out of mind while on the booze.
Finally if you are wearing composite armor your encumbrances may be hindering your regens and brandy ...you might want to tryswitching toa good set of ubese.
Hope that helps.

If you don't want to migrate your stats (or if you're waiting for them to migrate)then you should get some good Vasarian Brandy and some Muon Gold. Quenkers con red because they hit fairly hard (upwards of 225pts), are very accurate, and they always target your mind. This is why so drained your mind getsso drained when you're fighting them. Also, a hit for 225 pts doesn't seem that bad, but when you're not buffed and you're spamming your best specials it adds up pretty quickly, especially if you're fighting 2 or more of them.
As a side note: Has anyone noticed that it seems like Savage Quenkers' accuracy increases when there's 2 or more fighting you? I'll be fighting one and he will only hit me a totalof 2 or 3 times. Then I will be fighting 2 and they will both hit me on almost every roll. I check the combat spam and don't see them miss at all. Could this be possible?

My mind starts out at 600 and I just started using brandy,works pretty good, but I can't use it with the 2 drinks I use for buffing my health and action(don't know the names of the drinks). But I have very little down time due to losing my mind
I usually have to wait on my action. I wear almost a full set of composite, which I can wear with no buffs what so ever, I only put it on when the quenkers get right up on me.I clear a lair in 5 or 6 minutes,and it did get faster from when I was just a novice pistoleer with the added speed and what not.

Max all your mind stats and get doc buffs. The other stats get buffed so mind is the harder one to control. And you want brandy in the 400 range and use some decent Ubese for grinding. (less ham cost than composite) I never have to wait to regen.

Well when Im grinding I typically get a mind buff froma master dancer, put on my 80% kinetic ubese, pull out my at-st to get the level 72 quenker missions, and then pop a couple low level brandy's. I usually do the /mask /prone /bleed /stop fighting thing to pull 2 of the quenkers then I just go in and fan shoot them all.
Last night i made about 360k xp an hour doing that.

Or some Canapes (food, not drink). I use one Brandy early on and pop a Canape as I'm about to battle. Saves meall the time.
And if you're doing Savage Quenkers, use an FWG5 instead of a DX2

Thanks for all of the responses. Looks like I definitely need to adjust my HAM but in the meantime cutting down on my encumberances plus an extra shot of brandy did the trick! I got 50000 more exp in the same period compared to the night before.

Brandy's expensive, but it's well worth the extra 1 or 2 per night needed if you get 50-100k more xp.

I know this is expensive, but I drink 2 BE vaserian brandy and eat 2 BE vagnerian canapes. With the mods obtained from that meal, my mind bar doesn't move at all when doing quenker missions. I also use a Geo sonic blaster, which really chews through the quenkers. If you use a geo blaster, make sure to switch to a FWG5 or DX2 when attacking the lair. Stun weapons dont do squat to lairs.

if you are missing a fair number of shots with your dx-2 you might want to check the accuracy mods on it . all dx-2's manufactured after publish 7 have much better accuracy mods at point blank and mid range , the accuracy only gets crappy at close to max range . the old pre-patch dx-2's were hopelessly inaccurate at all ranges except for point blank .
