I'm not trying to grind rifleman (I doubt it's even possibly) or anything, but at the rate I'm going it'll take forever. Mainly the problem is combat xp, any suggestions for getting combat / rfileman xp at a reasonable rate?

Sharnaff

Get grouped, get sharnaff missions, drop group.
If you´re not buffed and have no armour then get something to tank with. I did my last 13k or so combat xp in 30 mins with sharnaff. Solo you´ll get between 350 and 500 combat xp for each sharnaff and they´re pretty easy to kill. average is about 3 sharnaff per K combat xp.

There are probably better ways but thats how I did it.

Better still, get a TK to tank for you and spam specials to steal the xp.
You get your xp without having to heal a pet and a TK gets beat on at the same time.
Magic!

Dantooine: Savage Quankers, 4200HAM, No Armor, Low Resists, No Deathblow, 6700-7100credits, availible to Solo hunters. NO poison, NO disease.


~3000-4000exp that's 300-400combat exp.


I know this because I Mastered TKM, Carbine, Pistoleer, COM, Fencer, Swordsman, Pikeman, Smuggler, Brawler and Marksman there. 6 Hours of dedicated hunting will net you 900k exp. That is when I jump on at 6pm, and retire around midnight, I have gained 900,000exp (That's 90k combat exp), the above profesions took me no more than 4 days each to master killing these things. I strongly suggest hunting at the Agro base as the Mining and Imp bases are largely over crowded.

C12 grenades get crates of them and buffed to the max then go to dantooine or daothmir attack a lair and get mobbed then start throwing the c12's and let the AOE blast them tiltill their all dead.The grenades give combat exp.


Example: say a mob gives 3k weapons exp normally if you kill it with your rifle, if you use grenades you'll get 3k combat exp as well as the normal 300 combat exp that you always get.


You could blow through the entire combat exp line in a day using grenades if you wanted

Thanks for your suggestions everyone - but I have a question.


What onearth is a sharnaff and where are they?


And I'll try the dantooine hunting thing at Agro - do you think a 1k -2k buff with a decent T21 is good enough for me to survive? Cuse I know Dantooine is tough. I don't have many Rifleman skills yet... well... only have one so far (Sniping I).

I´m Novice Rifleman and was trying out the Sharnaffs in Coronet with a grp. I get about 1300XP/sharnaff. Not bad for easy-hunting.

I second the savage quenker suggestion and I got a question.

Do C12 grenades require commando certification? As a master marksman I don't believe I was certified for any grenades and I didn't try using them for fear of lowered damage.

I think c12's can be used by anyone. Not positive though.

Listen........ regardless of what people are telling you to do here, there is only one solution to your Question.....


And nobody here has mentioned it. As some may realize and others may not. COMBAT EXP is only 10% of what you get in your "desired exp". So if you are grinding rifles..... and kill something for 4k rifle exp.... YOUR COMBAT exp. will be 400 points. It's that simple. There is no way to grind Combat exp fast. You grind it as fast as you grind your regular exp. IT's that simple!!


If you want to go up the Combat ladder fast....then kill whatever gives u the highest rifle exp in the fastest amount of time. And no matter whta you do........ By the time u level up all 3 of the other ladders.... u will get your Combat Exp at about the same time. As long as you are not leveling up 2 combat professions and using that Combat exp for the other prof... You will master the Rifle exp and Combat exp Ladders at the same time.


So the question here, is not how can u grind COMBAT exp faster...... But what to kill PERIOD!! And as others said..... go quenkers or Hurton huntress....or PIckets.... On Dantooine. Get your file exp..and the combat will follow.
