Rifleman cost almost nothing for me to master. Once I got 2-0-2-2 (with laser rifle on endor with buffs but no armor hunting crazed gurreck missions), I switched to a DXR6b, and did quenker missions without buffs. I just would take 2 brandy, lie prone, and spam head shot 3. I got the x-x-x-2 quickly because of saved up combat xp from BH. I did the majority of rifleman unbuffed, with just brandy. Surprise is your friend. Quenkers go down in 3 hits with a DXR and head shot 3, which is enough time for them to not notice you.

Whereas this guy spent a fair bit heading to master rifles, i tip my hat to him because of the mannor he has done it.
seems like there was no afk grinding inthe geo cave, no endless quenker missions, it actually seems like this guy varied his hunt, which whereas im not flaming anyone for their method of grinding rifleman, it actually seemed like this guy had fun and went and experiened different areas and locations of the game.

On Lok, Rori, Endor, what do you recommend for a leveling Rifleman at 2/1/0/1.

hmmm never spent much time on rori, but if i remember right, levisquall's are there; the big bunny lookin things (yea i know pot/kettle thing lol)...
on endor well i love that planet, but anything that doesn't poision or disease ya... i'd check out handraks there, a good e11 (i'll get flamed for this) and they fall pretty easy... if ya are into concealshoting every thing then the belle bol's; the picket lookin things...
honestly i'd go where to the planet that has the best meat/hide of yavin, endor, lok, or dant and pick them out... gurreck family aren't bad either endor wooly hide will almost always sell...if ya goto endor do the marauder themepark for asomething different...
lok i'd go with gurk lairs, nice payouts and not really dangerous...
its up to you really, but check out the mob's vuln... ya got3 basic damage type rifles now (4 ifya count cold) with the acid, stun, and energy... i like the e11 and jawa cause they fire fast at your lvl and aren't killer HAMs...
but then again i had good ubese and killed everything that was around, bad idea with the things that disease. ever try walkin 9k across endor with one heath point??? i don'trecomend (sp?) it... that was before mounts were out though, and buffs were unheard of (thank goodness for pixies =D, the downer incap sucked but i stayed alive)

"Why you young whippersnapper... I mastered rifle back in the day when men were men and ikopis were nervous. No armor. No doctor buffs. An addition 2.5x melee penalty. Creature warping. Course, it did take me almost 4 months of several hours a day."

where's the part that says:
I did missions while I was levelling, and made xxx million credits.
even when I mastered rifle with my poor wookiee, taking incaps from yard trash... when tougher mobs laid into me for 7k damage per hit... even in those nighted days, I still had 3 million in the bank to show for it when I was done.
admittedly, I didn't have the option to buy armor. buffs were worthless, since death came from single hits, buffed or not. my expenses were less because the times were different. but I made credits in excess of the 2 mil that you can apparently spend now to pursue mastery.

If you are on Rori, kill leviasquils, they are slow as dirt so you can kite them easily. A natural lair can net ya like 50k exp or more with 0 chance of even getting hit.

lmao, this is a good thread... don't get down on youself... you mastered rifles the on your own terms... most now adays don't do that... they all got to the geno cave or slaughter quenkers... i can relate to what wanye and a coupe of the older folks had to go through...
i never did missions, i made my money through sellin resources... lok wild wheat to be exzact, try walking the 6-10k on lok to get the best spots for your harvestors (2.5 damage mod, mobs all had armor, no buffs, ect)... i also did rifles backwords, got the concealmant line last... in retrospect it was not the smartest way to go about it... but it was fun, thats the most important thing...
