I have been using a republican blaster 89-270 on gurks on lok and been getting about 1.8k EXP per gurk, I switched today to a FWG5 that is is only about 70-200 and now I get 3.3k+ EXP for killin the same gurks? What gives? At first I thought it was because the gurk may have had a vulnerabilty to heat but it doesnt it has the same resistence 20% to both. It does have a vulnerablity to Acid so I tried using a DX2 that was about 100-199 Damage and that gave the lowest exp of all, I would have thought that the gurks would die faster and take more damage if I used a weapon geared towards their vulnerabilty. Can someone explain this whole theory?

Diffrent weapons give diffrent exp......And some weapons have exp caps....
Like commando weapons, have around a 3k cap.....But the same mobs with a pistol give 3700...
Generally, more poweful "type" of weapon you have, the less exp per kill you get...Because the creature should not con as high, and therefor you lose its high-lvl con bonus.

I know this is a pistoleer post, but since we are on this xp topic...
What gives higher unarmed xp...hitting with my right hand, or hitting with my left?

I am working on pistoleer myself and this is what i've noticed.
I would go on large game hunts with the guild, Voritors and Pickets and the like. What i would typically do is hit Bleed1 and Bleed2 and then work away at Bodyshot. I would be 1.3 kto 1.6k pistols XP. I thought that was kind of low, so i began experimenting with some other tactics. I've discovered that when i spam stopping shot, i get about 2.5k to 3k pistols XP with the same blaster and the same mob.
The overall effect is that i do the same amount of damage, but over a longer period of time. I don't really know what that means. Maybe a lower DPS means higher pistolXP.
I haven't tried not using specials, but i will have time to test this out in the future.

When grouped, you are competing for XP. If you and I are grouped, and I do more damage, I will get more XP. That is why the above poster got more XP while grouped when using stopping shot.

if you get grouped up with alot of people and solo your graul missions, you get 5k a kill. savage quenkers are also very good when you just group with a probot, they are easy to kill and about 4k xp a kill. 6 spawns ina lair, and lair gives from 2.5-4.5k xp itself and with buffs you can run through those missions really fast for xp if you solo =).

Nobody has the anwer ?
Because i'm getting the same problem than he does.
With group or without group my pistol exp caps at 3500 points
Nazbich, picket, bol, hurton you name them. They are all giving me 3500 points.
Even Nightsisters with 24k hams are giving me 3500 points.
And i switch guns often. I use krayt sliced weapons.. i have every type of pistols there is in the game.
I still cap at 3500 points.
