Thread: I can get Master CH quicker than Master Pistoleer. Why?
I hear people complaing about grinding CH XP, but in the last four nights that I have played I have gone from CH 0/0/0/0 to CH 1/1/1/2. Whileat the same time I have only gone from 0/0/0/0 pistoleer to 0/1/1/0. How can this be possible?
Well... The have made the required pistol XP so damned high I will be master some time next year. Not that it should be easy but some balance would be nice. Flame away because I have no real point, just annoyed.
CH is a support class... Less XP
Pistoleer is a Combat class... More XP
Any questions?
Pistoleer xp takes a whole lifetime, I am 100% convinced.
Or it maybe that I am in the same boat as you, CH xp is far easier, to get any noticeable increase in Pistoleer xp you have to kill God a few times, oh, and his/her mother. I have been playing a Pistoleer since the beginning of time but it's taking even longer than that. Maybe we need to target Gods great grandfather/mother, I reckon they may have a few tips.
You also get weapon xp depending on how much damage you do to the target. CH xp, your pet only needs to hit the target once to get full xp. Your rock beetle can hit a krayt dragon once, and get thousands of xp, you can shoot a krayt once with your pistol and get 16xp.
CH xp in combat isn't based on how much dmg your pet does, only whether or not it hits the target at all.
Hunt Pikets on Dantooine, i get almost 3k xp each Piket, 9 Pikets per lair, over 25k xp per Piket mission.
Well, Yeah if you have a pet to tank thhe Pikes are fine. If not you are gonna get dusted If 9 Pikes come at you and all you have is Novice Pistoleer. I know they dont do deathblows, but everytime I get those missions on Dantooine it takes forever. Pistoleer and CH is a really good combo IMO. It allows you the time to learn pistoleer and not just randomly attack, if you care to learn that is.

Took me one day to get from novice pistoleer to master. Kamuriths are the answere. Six Kamuriths per lair 4800-5200 pistol exp 480-500 combat exp a kill. Run em like crazy and you can do it. It's like grinding to any master profession but atleast this way you're making 22k per mission.
i agree it can be done fast, on dathomir the craggy bohle's i think, 30-35k exp per nest (6 critters plus nest) or if you have fan shot already the pack lairs of the non craigy, 2.5-3.5k exp per, and you can drop 6 of em at a time, 18 or so per lair + lair gets you up near 60k exp/lair.
of course fan shot going bye bye, but I trained up 4 boxes to master in 2 days of half trying with it.
not at all pistol xp is easy i can get 200k a night all u have to do is be commited to get to master hunt lok dantoine danthomir and ull be chillin. + w/ ch u should be getting way more xp when i kill something on dantoine i get 500 ch xp and like 4k pistol xp i have no idea how u advanced so quickly in ch?

Um....
CH's gain a MAXIMUM of 2000 xp per kill. Krayts,Nightsisters (not the slaves, theRangers and Stalkers)and Kimogilas give this. Not much else...
I believe Pistol xp against these is capped at something like 4000xp per kill, and you get this on almost every Kamurith you kill.
Killing Kamuriths on Dathomir gives me 750 CH xp each.
Do the math, and stop whining. CH's entire experience tree is the equivalent of the Combat XP trees in other fighting professions. So 4 braches earned at Combat XP rates vs. 3 pistoleer trees earned at regular weapon rates and one earned at Combat rates.
Yep, CH's have it sooo easy...
