Thread: Just made master in 5 days and would like to share how
Mmm, i believe teh 4440 part, for i don't think your can get teh combat exp for the last column that fast. I suspect you already had a lot of combat exp in bank.
5 days aint imposible, I'm just suprised you did it with single shots and not AOE. I think the server you are on also affects how fast you can grind. Weapon quality is diffrent on each server and that definately affects your grind.
I'm guessing the base stats on your gun was 160-390 7.7 speed.
Well lets break down why it is so easy to Masterthe Riflemanprofession.
1) MOB AI is horrid.
2) Lots of old Bugs (warping, missions not spawning) are gone
3) The change to BAF were creatures only BAF when the creature you attack aggros.
4) Players are more experienced and share their experience with newer players.
5) Viehicals make it easyer to do more missions in less time.
6) Alot of servers did not have laser rifles let alone T21's, now every server atleast has the laser
-These6 things make it alot easyer to get XP, the only negative new players have that we did'nt is that MOB's can use specials now. I believe people when they say they have mastered professions in 4-5 days, 3 days can be done but your a sicker person than I can ever be. It's just a diffrent game now, the game from June 26 compared to January1 is completely diffrent.
It aint gonna be like the first months ever again, but thats why us fools signed on early. To get to experience the horrible first months of buggy hell.
Thought I would add on to this post with my own advice.
If you are thinking about going Rifle/CM take CM first.
Once you get to master go on hunting groups or solo and lob poisons and wait while you have something tank. Wait for all of the mind pools to tick down to 1, headshot1 with a spraystick and you get almost pure combat xp.
Grinding is alot easier with all of the speed mods in the abilities column.
BTW with this technique i was able to get about 50k combat xp per hour 
Looks like some Quenkers are on the plate for tomorrow.
BTW if you hunt in groups just lob the poison and stand back and stim, you wont get any rifle xp, but you will still get about 3x the combat xp you would get if you were killing it yourself

Exactly...
Back when I started which was the day after launch I made novice rifeman in about 3 weeks circlinng Mos Eisly with my 68max dmg DLT20a which at the time killing a worrt in 1 shot was really really good.

You are forgetting that we no longer have the 2.5x melee dmg mod either! that in itself makes it a huge difference!

May I ask why you get 3 "free" shots? I generally get off one "free" shot before they realize I'm attacking them, and by the time my third shot comes around, they're at least half-way toward me.
Probably was using mask scent and was prone at about 60m, usually work's fine for me but the occaisional one agro's early for one reason or another!
i got ya beat 4 days of savage quenkers 
i got musician buffed each time and just went to town on the quenkers
