imade it with some nice buffs, a speed sliced laser rifle, sliced ubese armor and went to datooinespaming pointblankarea on quenkerlairs until i got rifleman 4-3-2-3.

At this point i switched to an dmg-sliced t21 and went to the geno cave on yavin IV and made the rest. if you're fast you can grind to master rifleman in less than 24 hours...

3.89 mil rifle xp in 24 hours,

1440 minutes, assuming you somehow managed to get 8 consecutive buffs and had not one single agro throughout.

Say the average kill xp if you kill entirely with rifle is around the 4k mark, then you would need almost 973 kills to achieve master rifleman. Bearing in mind that you can't use a T21 till novice rifleman and a dxr till countersnipe 2.


Even if you manage to average 3 minutes per kill because they amazingly keep spawning within 100m of you non stop, this would still take you 48 hours of non stop shooting to achieve the required xp.


24 hrs my a**e.

Even with preparation and the usual stuff like sleep, food, server reset etc, a more realistic fastesttime to complete would be 4-6 days depending on how long you played for and where you hunted, even then I think a trip to the local casualty department with a small case of DVT would be likely.

Here to tell you other then friend tanking and you getting flushing shot2 you will just have to grind it out..huuurtons are on par with quenkers and come ahead at times.


I'm 4244 right now and got that by doing the 0030 tree first for flushing shot2..flurry shot 2 is ok but dps on flushing is great!!


Next step by a non ch pet 4k ham and some kin resist and sick on lair let everything get on it..blast them mothers away..You'll probally find a good speed sliced laser rifle better then t21 till about 0003 ,but anyways get some speed pu's 33% speed decrease on 7.3 t21 make for nice dps,but i used laser most of my way till 0004.


Anyways everything speed up when got pet and 0033 and let the flushing shot lose,good luck and jus stick with it

Good evening,


If I may throw in my two cents on the matter... I haven't grinded directly up Rifleman from scratch in a long time, but I did go back to rifles recently. In this experience I found that a speed sliced speed power-up'd T21 was invaluable with point blank area. If I may recommend, head to dantooine with a good suit of armor... that weapon, and a full set of buffs. Head out there looking for hurton stalkers (Pay 10k) and go crazy. With the proper timing you can take down the first set of spawns from the first lair and head over to the next. By the time you are done with the first set spawn of that lair just head back to the first. Finish off that spawn go back to the second and then head in to get more missions. When I did this I gained no credits but finished from novice marksman to 4441 in about eight hours. The other three combat xp boxes I already had from switching back. Counting the fact that those three boxes are speed, I would assume that if you wished you could complete (from scratch) rifleman with this technique in about 16 hours of grinding. The reason for the speed sliced, speed power-up'd T21 is because you speed cap with it and the heavy armor piercing creates the highest DPS possible against creatures that have even minimal energy defense. I have mentioned this to several aspiring rifleman/woman I know, and thusfar they have loved it.


Hopefully this helps some...

took me about a week or so of grinding to master rifleman, thats very slow for me since i usually do professions in a day or two, I diddnt enjoy getting to master one little bit, it was slow and depressing, In the end i found the best possible exp is to get a friend to tank things then just AE them, other than that if you are rebel, i did get alot of exp at the battlefield at corellia killing stormtroopers, since they keep respawning and they nearly always fight from range they die fast and give decent exp + i got a couple of ranks out of it as well just watch out for that atst.

It took me about 1 1/2 days to grind to Master Rifleman. What I did was get Buffed, Mind Buffed(theres several places on kauri thay give mind buffs 24/7) wore a nice set of armor with high Kinetic Resists, got a good Laser Rifle SLICED for Speed.

Then I went to Dantooine, Searched for a Large SOLO Group so I could get Difficulty 99, Savage Quenker Missions(This way you get to kills TONS more quenkers).

I used Headshot2 to gain xp till I got 0-0-3-0 (Counter Sniping 3 I believe) to get Flushing Shot 2! I believe Flushing Shot 2 is the AREA shot so what I did was get approx 55m from the lair and KNEELED, and spammed that the entire time on the LAIR and the quenker farthestaway in front of the other quenkers so it would hit them, i didnt get up from kneeling either till the lair was gone. I gained XP VERY fast this way.. hope that helps


(hmm and whoever said it isnt possible to master this in 16 hours doesnt know what they are talking about it didnt even take me that long)
