What are these missions with 6 savage quenkers per mission? I tried the higher level quenker missions and they had like 9k ham and still only spawned 6 per lair.

thanks for the info's lad I am omw to rifleman so these will come handy.


Oh a lil bit of topic but anyways: Someone said it is no longer a big achievment to master a prof, well let me tell you my 4th holo told me to master chef...it took me 4 1/2 days nonstop grinding to get and well I have respect for any master chef I meet, it is a pain in the arse, I guess spent a mil credits on ressources and everthing you can create is crap anyways so I was really p***ed! I take it I was really fast grinding it anyways, it was horrible. Compared to this every other prof is pure fun, well mayb DE isn't dunno

Well lets break down why it is so easy to Masterthe Riflemanprofession.


1) MOB AI is horrid.


2) Lots of old Bugs (warping, missions not spawning) are gone


3) The change to BAF were creatures only BAF when the creature you attack aggros.


4) Players are more experienced and share their experience with newer players.


5) Viehicals make it easyer to do more missions in less time.


6) Alot of servers did not have laser rifles let alone T21's, now every server atleast has the laser


-These6 things make it alot easyer to get XP, the only negative new players have that we did'nt is that MOB's can use specials now. I believe people when they say they have mastered professions in 4-5 days, 3 days can be done but your a sicker person than I can ever be. It's just a diffrent game now, the game from June 26 compared to January1 is completely diffrent.


It aint gonna be like the first months ever again, but thats why us fools signed on early. To get to experience the horrible first months of buggy hell.






You are forgetting that we no longer have the 2.5x melee dmg mod either! that in itself makes it a huge difference!





AMEN!


Being one shot killed by most everything in the game was harsh. lol.

When I started the riflman profession a few days ago, i find myself at 4-4-4-2, soloing savage quenkers and quenkers on dantooine wit full composite armor, the only thing i worry about is mind shots they give. Each creature is about 2.5 - 3.5exp per kill. Per hour I average about 110exp, take into mind i started the profession about 3 days ago. Rifleman is a chore however you put it, but worth every minute of it

I found a very good wya to get xp also. I was doing the quenker Missions till a friend of mine told me that he took Graul Mauler Lairs. The Grauls gave alot more xp I'm 4/3/4/3 and I'm getting about 4.2k per Graul. Best way to kill them I find is Concealshot over and over. If they see you switch to an Ion or a close-mid range rifle pending on how close they are. Then WarningShot them till they run. I can only get Graul Missions with my AT-ST grouped though. Very good xp if you can get inot a good groove of killing them. I was on the phone while killing and died a hell of alot of times. So it's best to have all your attention focused on the Grauls.

After I put off rifleman for like 2 weeks I decided to finally do it for my holo....basically all i did was hunt on dant for like 3 days grouped my at-st with me and got 17k quenker missions....3 spawn at a time each giving me 4900 xp a kill...stacked both mind bleeds on all 3 let them aggro me then when they got 1 tick left either hs them or wait for a random hs w/o specials..so I was averaging almost 100k for 2 missions which lead to me mastering in 3 days.....thx for the guide

well its been a month or so since the blue box told me to master rifleman.



I'm liking the profession so in not that big a hurry to get thru it.


then again, I did a mess of other things, like finish commando and now faction grinding (just under 3300fp to Colonel )



But once I make Colonel, its all about rifle exp. I wanna know what I gotta grind next.

Where are you guys getting 3.9 xp from them? I get below 3k xp all the time... I mastered TKA.. but i doubt that has anything to do w/ it.. I dont use a pet or anything.. maybe thats why?

You will get more xp when grouped, than when truly solo. So group your mount, when hunting solo. If you are harvesting hides/meat solo, then you don't want to group your mount, as you get less harvest.

I'll try the same with my rifle compliment.

It's easy to master any combat profession now as they are changing the combat system. Once they figure that out - you will see more people fleeing from those crazed durni.


In my day - I could concealed shot 12 times per rest period. With the same stats after the nerf it's 7 shots. But now those 7 shots will waste stuff I had to hit 30+ times before to kill. (HUM, just about nothing has medium armor and insane special resists now... wonder why rifleman can advance so quickly...)


It isn't just riflemen & riflewomen...


Best get those professions ground before the next nerf - or you'll be pushing up the daisies for gnorts.

seriously - why don't they fix the bugs ??? since dec 17th - my client crashes frequently in combat - no log is sent. THIS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I never crashed in combat before. And now - it's like your entire party can get booted/locked up at the same time. And duel??? Dueling so far has locked up 100% of the time for me. Must be fun to play a jedi with all the danger of being a jedi and the looming threat of a lock up the second you TEF yourself with that light sabre.

Would you care to test out a 400 year old sword to see if it's decayed to condition 0? All the prior testers have no comment. Perhaps a gun which was used in WW I and still fires with high accuracy upto 1km?

If that doesn't get you, then start reading current military specifications for combat equipment.
