Hey all, Just wanted to say long time listener, first time caller, love the show.
Anyhoo now that that is out of the way, I found something interesting last night. I had just trained in trapping 3, and waited the 8 min 59 sec to catch the shuttle back to Dath from coronet(having not found a ranger out there who could train me..... thinks there should be more of us out there) The hunting party i had been with all decided to disband for the night so i was forced to find another group to work with. I bumped into these 2 guys out there trying to get scout xp for some reason and after shocking and amazing them with the HIGH TECH FIELD BASE Man that thing is cool!!!!!!!! i asked if they would let me hang with them to get trapping xp as it (except for the dread AP) was the last in the tree i needed to complete. We set out looking for Rancors as my experience is that you can pull about 1k per trap off these nasty guys. Well having no paying missions, the best way i have found to find em is to run around with scent mask on and when you see 170 or above chances are there is a Rancor around. So i'm on my Phat ride and i get hit with 240 scout xp. I think to myself FOUND ONE!!!!!!!!! so we stop. What we actualy found was an Ancient Bull Rancor, if you have ever fought one, they are no slouches. We get all set up and the M TKA runs at it. I throw my first trap and of course it fails,while the other guy starts in with his carbine. (now at this point do i need to mention that we are all buffedout the A--? didn't think so) Well my second trap flys, now glow juice is the coolest, you can throw all day and still get the xp, and it HITS 2000 trapping xp!!!!! needless to say i ran out of the traps that i had premade, peaced crafted more and still shot the hell out of it with ole betsy. All said and done, i got the init.240 scout, 70k trapping, another 2000 scout when i harvested 310 bone, and 3000 rifle xp. all off of one creature.

I did something similiar but solo. I was on Dath , and I found a engraged Rancor engaged with like 4 malklocs , and they were battling. I just sat there throwing glow wire traps. Great easy XP, with almost no risk for fellow soloists. Also works great on Reptilian Flyers, because they tend to attack other large animals, and a lot of the time each other.

you could have saved some time looking and have just gone to the rancor cave. The rancor at the entrance also gives 2k Trappig xp it got me through trapping really easy the only problem was finding a trainer lol.

I honestly think they made survival xp so tough to counter-balance how easy it is to get trap and scout xp.
Either this, or really any creature on dantooine and you can finish trapping in an hour or two.
Also .. you're sig confuses and upsets me. If you're going to make an attempt at making fun of Nietzsche at least spell his name right
(sorry not trying to troll I just ... umm .. /takecover;/conceal)

yeah normally level a box on a lair but trapped enraged rancors on dath and was getting 1.8k xp a trap with minimal fails so leveling boxes 3 and 4 in a matter of minutes.

Actually it's even easier if you can put harvs down on whatever planet you happen to be on. I did this with fambaa on naboo. Go to a mission, place mineral mining harv nearby and shoot at one. They'll all charge you but when they get to the harv they're stuck. Now use a factory to make a whole bunch of wire-mesh traps and eat the new dweezel food (increases trapping likelihood).Now either macro or spam throw trap and you can do it in like 30 minutes. With the dweezel at novice scout you will hit the fambaa 100% of the time with a trap and get 485 trapping xp every time. Easiest thing I've ever done next to ID or app xp with ID and a second account.

i still prefer glitched/tanked rancors. the sweet taste of 1.8k xp a trap i very nice. Suprisingly hardly any traps (WM) fail.

Personally, I'd consider getting mobs stuck on terrain or even worse placing stuff to get them stuck cheating. That's just me though.

Okay, so my problem is that I went to the Nightsister cave on Dathomir, went to the Rancor Cave, but I couldn't get in. Either I had the wrong location (I saw Rancor markers underground) or I just couldn't see the entrance.
Any help?

"I'd consider getting mobs stuck on terrain or even worse placing stuff to get them stuck cheating."
Just to be clear... It is considered cheating, and CSRs have flagged players when they are caught"using" the flaws in the AI pathing system to their advantage.

You could try to get 2 Malcloc Plainswalker to fight each other (100% Kinetic)
