I'm going to go crazy, besides them and torturs, they seem to be the only creatures higher lvl Rifleman can hunt effeciantly for good exp, for people who are masters and such, what did you hunt to grind your way up besides the two aformentioned creatures?

Was there a Elder Male Snorbal and Mature Snorbals in the group? If so, if you attack any of those and there in the same lair spawn, they will mob you. Elder/Mature Females don't mob. And the calfs don't mob. Theres basically two types of spawns I see. One with 2 Matures and 1 Elder Male with a Female Calf. The other is 2 Mature and 1 Elder Female with a Male Calf. That is the preferable spawn, as they don't BAF.

WS is warning shot BAF means if he has friends around they will help him attack you. Not sure what the acronym actually stans for.

I know how you feel, except it was with, jaxes and baz nitches. Baz nitches were just horrible, since they werent slow. I probably playued like 10 hours a day XPing, now i play like 2-3 hours a day becuase the grind is over, and half my guild still arent masters.

They've changed the Snorbals now. Last night as I on Lok as I have been for about 2 weeks (mostly there anyway). I came across a Snorbal mission and took it. I usually don't because I love those dorky looking elephants, but I needed some hide. So I get to my mission, start shooting at one, and the whole lair comes after me! This did not happen the day before, or for the past 2 weeks, so I'm assuming they've "nerfed" the Snorbals into pack hunters now. Am I wrong about this?

Guess I can spill the beans since I'm through hunting them anyway. If you're a new Rifleman and are looking for something relatively simple to solo, the best monsters I've ever seen aaaaaaarrre:


Feral Banthas, on Tatooine, usually found North of Wayfar.


They do NOT swarm.


They're only slightly faster than the average player.


They are killers, so don't die near one.


There are regular Banthas, Tusken Banthas, Dune Banthas, and Domesticated Banthas. They all suck. Feral Banthas are a blessed gift to Riflemen everywhere. They net about 800-1000 XP a kill and only take 3-6 Headshots to drop (depends on the quality of your weapon).


They are also excellent Scout XP for harvesting.


Go prone andHeadshot away. You do not need to bleed them; they won't live long enough to bleed. Be prepared to run or use Warning Shot / Suppression Fire if they charge and you don't have them pretty close to dead. A Spraystick will help a lot in these kind of emergencies.


Feral Banthas randomly spawn, so wander around a bit. If you find a lair (Rocky Shelter type), you've got yourself an easy 20KXP that involves almost no kiting and no swarming monsters to deal with.

GBN have 10k mind so killing them without mindshot2 takes a while. You have to hit a mob at least once with a non bleedattack and be within 64m to get the exp when it dies. You really need warning shot as well to do GBN.


I heard that Nyms now BAF.
