It takes about 7-8 hours in playtime I reckon.. if you are fast just grab quenkers and be fast. you can rack inn about 350-370k xp pr 40 mins if you are fast.. and get 2 missions the same dir (pull unarmed ofcourse so you get missions closer), and 40 mins vasarian brandy.
drink 2 and always be buffed.. but thats every grinder for ya anyways


So see if anyone can top 370k xp in 40 mins your eyes might bleed... but atleast you won't pour water into your computer of boredom.

Here is what I have been doing for the rifleman grind.


Vasarian brandy, the best you can find.

Conceal shot!!! T21

Gurk Missions, I started with savage quenkers, dont get me wrong great exp but the chance of babies spawning when you tap the lair reduces your exp gain per mission. Plus side of gurk missions... no babies!!! Gurk havester, tracker and plain gurk all give 3900 exp, the welp gives 3500.Three at start and each tap of the lair netting you 9 creatures. On average around 35k exp counting in the 4k or better for lair. If your lucky you dont get a gurk welp at your mission and can get 5k for the lair. So you will get 35k-40k easy a mission an 8k creds.


Tapping the lair.. dont do this while under cover until you get sneak or you cant peace and the spawn will auto aggro on you. Now that second tap on the lair is a bit tricky.. here is what I do and it works almost 100% of the time. I use 5 suprise shots and immediately peace. Shortly after peacing it will start to spawn and no aggro on you. If after 5 shots it still doesnt spawn, pop it 1 more time and peace. I usually give it 15-20 seconds to see if its going to spawn. Rinse and repeat until it starts to spawn.


On to the vasarian brandy.. Now I use 400+ vasarian lasts 37mins and fills 50%. Take 1 dose and ride it out until your buff timer says you have around 17 minutes left then take another. Doing this I can keep myself around 800+ for almost the whole time I am out. Experiment with it and find your happy medium.


Luck with the skill gains!

I got riflemen 4/0/4/4 in 3 days pretty easy really

Get in voritor hunter group on dantooine in minging outpost. Then spam chargeshot1 at any voritors that come from lair(only if others are attacking two) Rinse repeat til 0/0/3/x. Once you get there go to genosian caves and use a combat macro like this


/target crazed;

/flushingshot2;

/flushingshot2;

/flushingshot2;

/target crazed;

/pause 5;

/macro (whatever you name the macro)


Jus put this on while equipped witha Speed laser or Dxr6b and you sohuld get tons of xp while afk

Ok, Listen, forget the idea of get sniping tree, if you are trying to grind this profession. If you have the flushing2 or flurry2 shot then are you fine. Find a Creature handler with some good pets. Have them attack the lair and just spam the shot all day. I master rifleman lest than a week, and that was not trying. but i am a Ch though. I got master 2 days, that grind was the easiest grind i have even done and it was fun. so if you want to move up fast, do you conceal shot tree last, who eve says get that shot first doesn't know what they are talking about. And the things that you want to kill first are vortiar tackers, not hunters, or dashers, or jungle, just hunters, that is what i have hunted my who grind, and i did that for pistoller also. The reason is that they don't stun, dizzy, bleed or do any specials at all. they just attack, they don't db either. and they don't go after the mind like quenkers do. The run at the 17K level on dantoone, so you may need pets to get them. I have over 21K meat from of hunting them. I am able to do a misions with the way i just said in 5minues. Becase with teh AOE you kill evethying at the same time. So if you are byyouself you get 6 spawns. that is aobug 3-4K times 6, around 24K of riflman xp per misions, if you go with a bigger group i think the spawn is 9 vortair trackers per lair. Trust me you do it this way it would make you lift a lot easy.I am a grinder, so i grind everything. This is the one professoin besides CH that i would keep. So instead of dropping this. I am going to keep it for a while becase onces you become master you are going to love it.


I am able to so teh 26K misions on datonnie in 30secounds, not joking. So for me to be 62K in 4mines it is just great.


Trust do it this way.

I'm NOT a grinder (took me 3 month to master CH, and I started in november -pre patch, 1 month for fencer etc...)
and I got like 1121 in 3 or 4 days, once you get to use the drx6b (xx2x) just go to dathomir, join a group and go kill enraged rancors, around 4kxp/kill if you do well.

try to level pistoleer it's WAY longer




I did that already, hehe. As for rancors, it all comes down to how long you need to take 'em down. How long does it take?

Quenkers are easy, fast, and good xp.

Also, the cave on Adi's Maw, on Lok. Droidekas give 4kxp, you can clear the cave with Conceal Shot if you're careful, and you can do it solo, but it takes awhile.

Getting novice rifleman does take forever but i've figured out how to get this profession quickly. After Rifles 4 and at least Rasnged Support 1 use a combine nation of Aim_Headshot 2, Aim_OverchargeShot1, and OverchargeShot1. Stick with white star mobs and get 1k rifles xp/100 combat xp per kill. Do this till you hit Novice Rifleman and Sniper 2, then get Concealment 1, and from there the xp should fly. Get a jawa ion rifle and a good T21 and go out to the Droid Engineer's Cave on Lok in your POI. Finish up the Sniper branch so you get the most rifle xp at once (300k at Sniper 4). This will give you max concealment chance, accuracy, and aim bonus till master rifleman. Use Aim_ConcealShot exclusively with your T21 and the Droidekas will drop one by one quickly and easily. The only time you have to worry is if you miss 2 or more times in a row because stuff will attack you then. A rifleman with 4/1/0/0 can easily solo this cave for 250-300k rifle xp and 25-30k combat xp in a couple hours just using Aim_ConcealShot. 3-4 trips and rifleman is mastered, lol. Now the only problem you have is finding a rifleman to train you or getting the cash for the trainers, lol.

Swordsman is the only one i found easier to master it has taken me 2 days on a server that i started from scratch on 3 days before that
