Again, we'll post the Quenker method.


Take your damage sliced T-21, a truckload of Max/min damage powerups, and a spraystick to Dantooine.


Take Savage Quenker missions.


Go PRONE 60m away from your target, fire TWO Head Shot 2's. HIT PEACE. Fire TWO Head Shot 2's at the other Quenker. HIT PEACE.


Now look at them both - fire a third shot at the one with the least mind left. If it dies, great, move onto the next one. If it doesn't, then KNEEL and whip out the spraystick and spam Head Shot 2's at the one who'll die first, then at the other one. Then slap the lair with whatever you want. Repeat.


I did this method and made Master in 3 days. You can too.


Go up the Sniping line first for Accuracy, then Counter-Sniping, then Concealment.


And DON'T get a speed sliced T-21. Ever. Think in terms of "One-Shot/One-Kill" and you will be master soon enough.


Also, i never wore armor. Never do still. Find someone who sells Breath Of Heaven, Glazed Glucose Pate, and Rhyshcate and buy crates of them...before you start firing, pop one of each. It should next-to-negate your mind costs. Always keep a Muon on hand for emergencies, but don't use it unless you REALLLLLY need it.


Each Savage Quenker (While Grouped) should be 3900 or so XP, and the lair is another 3900, and in event of a Terrible Quenker spawning (kneel/spraystick it), that's another 4200 or so. You're talking around 30k XP per lair. If you see wild Quenker/Savage Quenker Lairs, nail them too.


And finally, enjoy

What payment do savage quenker missions usually appear as? I can always find the quenker missions....but not the savage ones. DoI need a group to see the missions or should I be able to solo?


Thanks for the help guys


I was actually killing quenkers so far after i gave up with pikets, but this method sounds better than what I was doing, i was unloading conceal shots until they died.

Ugh...wheres the edit button when you need it...


THANK YOU...the savage quenker thing with that strategy is the answer. Powerup a T-21, headshot, headshot, headshot, he's dead. While in a group its3.9k xp a pop...I got about 60k xp in an hour


Keep this thread up for others having trouble getting xp!

I've been a master rifleman on the Scylla server for a very long time now. So long, in fact, I basically forgot all the pain that leveling up from rifles 4 in the Marksman tree to Novice Rifle can bring.


I recently started a new character on a different server, and decided to try the rifle route all over again; all I can say is, I once again feel your pain man. I really, really do.

Here's what I did: Bought a T21, damage sliced. Got some damage powerups. These boosted my T21 up to about 730 damage. Then I just went in dantooine hunting groups (voritor hunters) and spammed head shot 2, and occasionally used muon gold (to lower mind costs). Then I learned concealment 1, so I can use conceal shot, then it's easy soloing. Get piket missions. Use conceal shot on the pikets, then get the sniper line once you have the exp. The rest is up to you.

Yeah, they are 6.8k - 6.9k mission payouts on Dantooine.


That said, Mind bleed and Kiting pikets wasn't much of a problem for me either. Hit them with a bleed from 64m out, run to around 95-100m and when it ticks and agro's just start running away from it.. You should always be able to out-pace it if you unequip your rifle ( which seems to speed up your run speed ).
