Voritor hunters on Dat is the best but you will need a group for it. Go up the counter-sniping tree for Flush 2. I went sniping first and it was taking me forever then I got a tip to get flushing 2 and the xp started rolling in. Work with groups, it is better. Soloing is fun but until you get master it will be hard doing it by yourself.

Nyn (CSA Weapons in Braxis, Naboo) and Flawless (Black City, Dantooine) both sell T21's for well under 1 million credits. Not cheap... around 80k or so... but not 1 million credits.


If you are a rebel, I'd personally stay away from Black City. Braxis should be ok, just watch out for covert scanners.


That being said, a T21 might be slow for you as of yet. If you could get a good speed slice I think it would be around the same as a Laser, but I'm not sure.

try a speed sliced laser or t21 with a 33% speed/16% mind powerup on it.


that should help a bit.

I can do anything on Dantooine with /concealshot including members of the opposition



I'm at work at present, so cannot give details of the two guns, but I used to be one who wondered why the T21 was sooooo much better than the Laser Rifle. Last night on Dantooine, was another example for my avatar to realise why.


I use the T21 for MOBs and the Laser for lairs and running. Last night I broke the T21 and for the rest of the jobs I had to use the Laser. As far as I can remember the Laser Rifle is faster and has a higher max, but lower min. However, I had been hitting the MOBs for 2/4k with the T21 and when it went I was getting 900/1600 with the Laser. Needless to say, all the jobs took longer. I finished up at the end of the evening travelling back to the house to pick up another T21, and tonight, I shall travel back to Dantooine with it.



These are just personal experiences, I still think every character is different in SWG.

Ramux,


Another place to try is Talus. I had to head out there to harvest scaley hide and bone and Talus had the best of both at the time. What I found was great exp for me at pretty low cost. I was pretty much headshotting everything in 3 shots or less and getting 1.5k-4K exp depending on the mob. I hung around the imperial outpost there and really never went more than 1k out. All I did was pickup imperial missions and killed any mobs that I met onthe way. I picked up 200k exp in 2 hours AND got faction points. Best creatures that I had fun with were the Giant Dalyrakes (around 2k exp and 2 shotting them) and torturs (2.5k for the normal and 4K for the bulls - bulls took about 4 shots, but with spice you can take em down easy). BTW, my skills at the time were 3001. After last night, its now 4002. Time to work on concealshot.

Thank you everyone!


You guys are awesome.


Well, Im back into the flow because I sorta found something myself with all your hints, I went out and got coneal shot last night. BEST THING EVER! Thanks guys And then I was hunting some quenkers for a bit, but my city recently got two new mission terminals up (Imperial, and Rebel. Neutral town.) So I went for some faction missions and WOW. Wtih conceal shot and head shot, im able to usually take out 3-4 npcs in about 5 minutes, for 3k a pop. 9k to 12ka mission and 5k credits + faction points. And it seems I NEVER miss against npcs, and once they do fire at me it is with a blaster from 60 m so I wipe them out one on one.


Thank you again everyone, once these get to be to easy, ill definately know what to do now. And conceal shot is my hero. (I took out a bile drenched quenker last night!)

Last night I needed about 18k to get teh novice Rifleman skill. I went to a docotr, paid the 5k to get full buffs and just shot them till they died. It worked great.


You'll get about 6800 per mission, so you'll make your money back fairly quick. at 3800 xp per kill it is a nice target.

I guess this begs the question: "How are you killing Quenkers?" Back when I was a 1000 rifleman I hunted bolle bol and fambaa on naboo. Not easy fights, but it could be done.


I really think it;s a question of what you are doing, as opposed to what you are hunting.
