Jaxes can be our friends now.


Since they aren't aggro on sight, you can pull higher-level MOBs toward a Jax herd and try to get the Jaxes to occupy the MOB while you plug away in relative safety.


Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. I'm still trying to figure out which MOBs the Jaxes will attack and under what circumstances.


I was lucky enough to come across a merek lair right next to a Jax lair and each pack was slugging it out with the others. Even the mereks werefighting amongst themselves. Since mereks don't appear to group aggro on you, I started picking off those with nary a scratch. Got 1000-2500 Pistol XP per kill.


Not nearly as quick and easy as the pre-nerf Jax missions, and it definintely involves some experimentation,but still a sweet way to get big XP.

I can still do Tabage. It seems the speed is about the same as slicehounds. They don't "pack-attack" still like the hounds do and better exp (harder heads) Prone and masked scent they drop before they run. 3 Shots kneeling, throw P-Dart another shot if all of your shots are bad. I do like this tho, more realistic. They did seem sooooo **edit** slow before...


(even Gubbers were faster)

I have been taking out Snarnaff Bulls, for 3.5k each, when they seem to spawn fairly often outside my house north of coronet, I mindshot him with my laser, run out of range, wait awhile, and go back in and repeat the performance about 3 times, and finish him with a few headshots.

ive been killing the snakes on lok, they give me 800 ish xp when im grouped with my droid, and i can take them down in 1-3 shots,i rarely get attacked as they dont group when1 is hit. i find their lairs, kill them all. hit the lair once and then stop shooting. wait for more snakes to spawn, kill thoses for a bit, hit there lair again. kill thesnakes.


wash, rinse and repeat. i normaly kill about 20ish snake per lair b4 they stop spawning so its a good exp maker.

Crazed Roba's on Talus are decent though they tend to pack attack so it's better if you have a back up skill when one comes up close to get nasty, you get about 500 exp per kill and they can be one shot with a good rifle. This is at novice rifleman.

Matriarch Banthas on Tantooine.


2300 rifle exp each. Take a while to kill, but they only run as fast as you. Don't go near another matriarch though, cause they like to help eachother.


Typically there is 1 matriarch in a group of Dune or Desert Banthas. If you can find two spawns next to eachother, you are golden. They don't help eachother, unless you pick on a lower one then the Matriarch will assist.


Just a note, these are not Super Easy and aren't a bug, so please don't start crying nerf. Plus it takes quite a bit of travel to get to them.


I'll just say they are on the way to the Krayt Graveyard.
