Please post planet, if you take missions what type, if you need to be grouped, and if you kill everything you find on the way or if you just run back for missions, or if just just cruise around killing.

If its a POI type location, please state WHY.


Any numbers would be usfull as well.

My favourite is on dantooine, killing hurton stalkers in a solo mission grouping. They give about 4k xp per kill and each lair normally spawns 4-5 per wave.

The good 'ol Dantooine Solo-Group Quenker Hunt has a nice payout of xp. 8-12 quenkers per at 3k per quenker. I hope I never see another one.

Why go all the way to Dantooine if you're already on Dathomir for the village?
I say go for all random spawns, cause Dathomir spawns A LOT and a rifleman has no problems killing it all, just spam Strafe Shot 2 while running around on Dathomir and you'll cap in no time.

Geo caves later in the day once the spawns are going nuts. Just be sure to have some sort of a tank with you unless you really know what you are doing.


Depending on the spawn rates, you can cap 3 different weapon xp types, plus combat xp in an hour or 2.

Go up hills on the diagonal. If you go straight up a hill, you will go much slower than if you climb the hill on the diagonal.

The last time I was there, I capped rifle in less than an hour depite being grouped with and working on the same spawn as a non-master Rifleman, a Jedi, a Master Pistoleer, and a Master Swordsman.

I've only been to the caves a few times. What is the best spot to camp?

get 60-65 k of xp per mission when I was a master swordsman. I am still leveling rifleman and I am not fast enough to make this a viable option yet.

Venom filled arachnées or toxic merekson Endor, 80k a lair, real easy to kill,and a lot of close spawns everywhere..Endor is definitely better than Dat to level rifleman

"Rancor Valley" on Dathomir, IMO, is the place to cap combat/weapons XP, however I have stopped going there because it seems like too many people know about the place now. Wild Rancor spawns have an incredible spawn rate when compared to the ones you get from the mission terminals.


That said, I would vote for the Geo caves or Endor. For the Geo, I recommend bringing a friend who can tank, or going with a small group. The only other problem with this is that the place is often camped, so hope that you get their early and exploit the spawns.


Endor is really nice, and I'll give my reasons as to why I like it. Most of the critters there will give you between 3k-5k xp per kill and with buffs and armor can be soloed without a problem. The nice thing about Endor is that it is often desserted, and you can literally walk around the place, lair to lair, killing everything in your path. Not as quick as the Geo caves, but with all of the wild spawns, you should never have to go more than a few meters to find another nest. I can only speak for my server, of course, but everytime I have gone to Endor, I have never even seen another player.


Dantooine is still a great choice as well, but I simply prefer the other places for a change of scenery.

Where is Rancor Valley btw? I used to hunt NSers, not Rancors. Now with Force Powers, Rancor hunting is something I am doing a lot more of. Is it north of the Imperial Prison?


Also, does anyone have a complete list of weapons available to us, and what type of damage they do? (energy, cold, acid, etc)
