Pistoleer Archive

I am using a FWG5 and also tried a DX2 and I cannot get any missions, mob or imperial to go over level 16. which means i can never fight higher mobs for money, and I can get the level 25 imperial missions that the rifle/commando users are getting to get good imperial faction points. Now I'm using a pistol that i can dish out 1800dmg every 2 seconds. So I can more than handle the fight. Is there any way around this? Or are pistol users stuck doing low level missions thus gaining skills and faction points slower than even newbie commandoes? If so, what setup do I need to get a higher mission? I think its stupid that im capped anyway, if I wanna kill myself on a level 40 mission I should be allowed. Any help? thanks.

Not sure what the exact formula for mission difficulty is, but I do know that your skill with your equipped weapon has a lot to do with it. Not sure when it happened, but I was getting at least difficulty 25 missions (on any regular planet terminal, faction included) before I hit Master Pistoleer, and I was using a G5.

What's your skill level in the pistoleer tree? At 4-2-4-2, I can get level 23 or 24 missions at the imp terminals on Tatooine. It's based on how many boxes you have filled in.

You can get higher level missions on advanced planets like Lok, Endor, and Dantooine that start at level 25. You can attempt a level 50 mission if you want, you just have to be in the right place.

I just joined the Rebels a week ago, so I don't know what minimum skills are required for level 25 missions. But I'm a Master Pistoleer and I get them.

Faction Mission difficulty seems to only be affected by your skill level for pistoleer.I'm in full composite and I dish out up to 1800/shot and the mission I get are only 16 also. Even if you get one more skill in pistoleer (doesn't matter what one) you only get 1 higher mission difficulty. I should be able to getat least level 20mission difficulty missions are WAY to easy at 16. It doesn't even matter what weapon or the quality of weapon.

i think its not just equipped wpn skill that determines difficulty of missions but also the terminal itself. this is just conjecture but it seems terminals have difficulty caps on the missions they give.

Well I'm only 0-0-2-0 since I am also a Master architect, and a good medic, also have hunt 4, and explore 3, so I dont have any more skill points left to fill in any more boxes. Just sucks that I am capped when I can dish out twice the damage as a novice commando and they can get elvel 25 misssion with just a flamethrower equipped.

You can always go to Dathimor to the Imperial Prison where the terminals give in the 60-70 level range.

I get level 25s at anchorhead with a pistol, but then again, I used all my skill points. That's with any pistol equipped it seems.

Im not a master yet1/4/4/3 but my missions anyplace on Tat are level 24 which are too easy for me

and for some reason 1/2 of the missions are 14s which i could do with a cdef pistol !...go figure

It seems CH skills arnt counted into the mission base at all which is very wrong i think max pet level and numbers of pets should be very much counted weather it is CH pets or faction pets weather you have them out or not! As long as you have the skil or petl they should be counted.

with my pistol skills alone i think my missions should be in the 32 range I tried some 35s without my pet and got smacked around pretty bad on another planet

Has anyone without commando skill tried equiping a flamethrower and saw what kind of mission levels you get?

On a side note i was doing bantha missions a customer beged me for wooley hids so i got a few missions and was about to get him a few hundred hides ..when i got to my mission there were 6 noobs killing my banthas.

I protested to them ..there reply was very rude..heheheh and not repeatable here

I would have killed them all if i could have started a combat with them......if someone attacks your mission they should wear a tef flag to you i think

Anyway i thought of a way to get even.......A friend gave me a idea and i did it.

I spent the next 2 hours getting mountian squill missions and had AH surrounded with them in all directions hahahaha the medical bay was Full and the entertains and doctors very happy.......and these 6 Bozos didnt have the smarts to clone so they were really messed up.

Thats the most fun i have had in a week .boring getting the missions the running to the spot and spawning it and repeating it over and over but it was worth it to see those guys in the AH tavern all messed up

my only gripe was the mountian squill was the hardest creature i could spawn and the 2 or 3 Imperial BHs who patol around AH didnt like them either hahahaha

I wish lairs could spawn reinforcements equal to the combined levels of its attackers that would be nice

i am pretty low in the Pistoleer tree still (0-1-2-1) and i pull lvl 35-40 Imp missions at the Imp outpost on Dantooine.

I can't get anything BUT a level 25 faction mission when I equip any pistol, even a CDEF.
