C12s are fragmentation grenades and are usable by anyone.


If you use grenades, be aware that:


1) Throwing them uses HAM and, like any weapon, there is a delay before you can throw another.


2) Their accuracy sucks unless you are close to the target.


3) They have a blast radius.


Especially with regard to 2 and 3, be aware that you can throw the grenade while standing within the blast radius (something like 10m). If you do, you can damage yourself or even incap yourself using them. The trick is to be close enough (i.e., just outside the blast radius) to get good accuracy, but not so close (i.e., inside the blast radius) to damage yourself.

poisons and grenades give you more combat xp. unless your a combat medic get grenades. once you get 444 rifleman you should have only 50k more combat xp to go. thats a night of hardcore hunting on dant. just suck it up and grind grind grind.

BTW. the massive combat xp you use to get using poisons, you no longer get, it was fixed in this last publish (or some hotfix).

Sharnaff are big giraffe-looking things that you'll find on corellia. They have about 6/8k ham i think. If you don't have many skills I'd suggest getting in a group with a couple of other elite combat types. Until you get conceal shot that is. After that you can take down most stuff in the game without agro (with obvious exceptions of course). If you don't have melee skills then get a pet cause you will still get agro from time to time and as a rifleman you will go down like a 20 dollar hooker. There are some decent non-ch pets around that, while not doing a lot of damage, they can have quite high hams and will take the agro for you.

Doesn't really need to be sharnaff though. There are a few creatures on various planets with roughly the same templates, like piket on dantooine or ronto on tatooine. ronto are pretty good for xp actually. You'll find them in the krayt graveyard usually and it shouldnt be too hard to get some of the local wildlife to tank for you too.
