Ok guys for those Rebel riflemen who want a quick way to grind out rifle xp, here's a trick that works for me. Go to moeniaon Naboo. Now You need to aquire the wp for the Emperors retreat. The are a bunch of St's there that give anywhere from 3000-4000 rifle xp per kill, not to mention the added bonus of 22 faction points per kill. I only suggest this if you have cover and conceal shot, or you can get by using only Headshot3 if you are buffed. I picked up 100k+ rifle xp the other day in less than and hour. Once you run out of stormies go to the Gungan vs, the Empire POI which is only abou 2000ms away. There you can clear out about 10+ Green Imperial scout. Once your finished there you can just bounce back over to the Emperors retreat and by then you should have a fresh spawn of Stormies. I've been grinding rifle for awhile now and nothing has helped level like this. This beats Quenkers hands down.

correct me if i'm wrong, but the Green Scout troopers (swamp rats, i think they're called) do not give imperial faction, right?

I was getting 21 fact total off them each as long as they weren't already damaged by the gungans, if they are then you get points accordingly, but to answer your question, no your wrong, you do get FP off the greens.

Also a reb vs imp skirmish just north of the bela vistal mountains at a little lake that shows up on the map. 1 at-st, tons of stormies, easy xp if you have good equipment.

No...at first, the Green troopers at that battleground were giving negative Plasma Thief/positive Gungan faction if you killed them. Then acouple ofmonths ago, the Gungans apparently joined the Rebellion and the Green troopers joined the Empire, because now the Gungans are rebel faction and the Green troopers are Imperial faction. Killing the Green troopers now gives you negative Imp faction and positive Rebel faction.
The other nice thing about this is that it used to be that if you went to help out the Gungans, you often got into trouble with them because you would be firing a nice area effect shot, and inevitably, one of the gungans would wander into your area of effect, get shot, then start attacking you. This would give you a TEF for the Gungans, and you had to peace and run away to avoid killing them and destroying your positve Gungan faction. I assume this held true for the Green troopers side as well. Rebl/Imp faction aligning them solved this problem for Imps and Rebs wishing to fight at this battle ground.

I went to the Emperor's Retreat recently, but when I get the TEF after killing a few stormtroopers the real imp players who use the place as a base show up andkill me.

I went to the Retreat tonight. Killed a few Stormies and of course it's Tef time. I zero'd in on the AT-ST and did a few concel shots. It was going great until I saw a blue dot appear on the radar. I immediately ceased my shooting and laid perfectly still watching the movements of the multiple blue dots that were now buzzing my radar. Slowly I crawled on my belly down the hill..pausing from time to time not to draw attention to my movement. I made it to a tree base with loads of shrubs. I crawled under the shrubs and laid there till the Tef was gone. Meanwhile, the dots were combing the area for me..but happy to say..never found me. I escaped and think I'll return with a few friends next time.

No a conceal shot will not take you off of radar unfortunately. Those Imps must of not been paying attention.

Lol Ji keep off the muon (brandy is much better and all I ever use these days and I am a wookiee at that). You need to come hunting with Falyn and I on endor when we go

I seriously would not try this as that is the starting point for the Imperial Corellian Corvette Mission now. Far too many Imperials around there. And if you try this on Radiant, you'd be dead as soon as you TEF.

I've seen a few rebels try this on Ahazi. Suffice it to say, grinding rifles xp (by definition, you're holding a weapon you can't use too well) in a spot where groups of 20 buffed Imperial Riflemen/Swordsmen/Dark Jedi etc come along from time to time, is not a good idea unless your favorite social activity is greeting your friends in the Moenia clone center every 30 minutes.
