try this..


Im a rebel...and lets say that I had two imprial bases placed at a certain distance from each other. Now say i was able to run back and forth between these two bases farming xp at each end.As a pistoleer using a moderate damage geo, and if im lucky, the BH0040 speed cap...


50(conservative) STs x 3500xp each = 175k pistol xp/17.5k combat xpfor about 10 minutes work


175k x 18(number of runs perbuff) = 3.15m pistol xp/315k combat xpper buff.



Any failure in this theory?

1. Superman's only weakness is Kryptonite. Jack Bauer laughs at Superman for having a weakness.
2. When Jack Bauer goes to the airport and the metal detector doesn't go off, security gives him a gun.
3. If Jack Bauer saw a terrorist reaching for a bomb to blow himself up, Jack would shoot the bomb first. Nobody steals a kill from Jack Bauer.

The quickest way i've found to get Pistol exp is to find wild Gurk lairs on Lok.


I say wild lairs because there are normally a few close to each other if you scout the area. I found NW of the huge mountain to be a good spot to find wild spawns.


However if you have to take lairs from a mission terminal the spawn rates are still really high per lair.

I go between lairs on endor for pistol xp . I think you'll find after 500k xp or so your bf will be very high so you'll need a pitstop once or twice during the session to heal it.

How about the fact that you are going to be gettinga TEF and then get attacked by someone. Also you will have to use composite for them instead of ubese(nice andcheap forgrinding). Looks like it is a good plan though.

I get about 1.5 mil per buff session by hunting near the Dathomir Sarlacc, which is inhabited by a lot of rancors. Easy xp with a good DX2

Oops hit the ENTER button too quickly. Anyway with the way I get xp I don't have to worry about TEF's or traveling too far. But with the amount you're receiving I would probably use your method of XP farming.

TEF is of no concern to me however you are correct in saying that compo would be required over ubese. I can get 67base compo on my server for under 300k so this is also not really a concern.


buffs are generally around 3h 20-40m (I may have my doc exp with lowering the buff and bumping the time a bit)...I purposely calculated my numbers using 3h (18 x 10m sessions) to leave room for travel.


the village is just over 5k meters from the science outpost, assuming you dont get stuck on any trees, this trip can be made in just over 5m


I havent attempted this yet, but there should be at least enough time to turn in the xp twice, maybe 3 times...depending on shuttle waits etc.


of course, building the bases on dath would be ideal =(


anyway, thanks for all the input =)

Doesn't it take like 10 - 15 minutes for the ST's to respawn? i'd guess that there would be a decent amount of down time in there.


Also, although I don't know what rules govern the appearance of an AT-ST, but it seems to me that after clearing out bases a couple times, I usually run into an AT-ST sitting in front of the base....that might end up slowing down your ST killing time.

yes, it does take a few minutes for the STs to respawn, but thats why the bases would be located a certain distance from each other. Time to and from makes it possible to hit the spawns at both.


At-Sts are really no problem...


Solution 1: Burst run and drag them away from the base. The STs will respawn without the At-St.

Solution 2: Break out the trusty LP from novice commando and LD the **edit**er till its rubble.

NOt if you take them 500-1000m off...in fact they will just stand there while the STs respawn all aone.
