Thread: Share Your Rifle XP Spots
Thus far:
Lok:
Langlatches (~800 xp each)
Endor:
Jax Lairs (just the lairs ... the Jaxes take too long to kill. ~3,000 xp, lots of running though)
Any one else care share?
I love hunting jax's. Just get a group of 4 and mind shot them all. then head shot them one at a time till they go down.
Works the same for levia squalls and raging vir vurs.
I also like fighing gualamas. Warning shot is usually enough to keep them away and they're not very social.
You can target and attack one and the others don't add.
What I do is move to about 60m and then go prone. Start Headshot2ing them and the first 2-3 hits they don't know what is going on and run around the spot. Then they find you and start coming after you if Melee or start to shoot otherwise.
Now I have Rifle4 in the marksman tree and have an E11 I can take them down in about 3 shots. Most of the time they don't even come after me. When you kill them you can move in and loot and the others don't do anything. Keep this up to get good exp.
In the unlikley event that you miss a couple of shots you can run and shoot as you are running. They are faster than you if you start running the instant they start heading towards you can easily get of 4-5 more shots which is usually enough to finish them.
Any kind of bantha on Tatooine except for Tusken Banthas.
Ferals I can two shot, Dune Banthas are a lot harder, both give the same exp around 800-1500exp.
Bantha Matriarch are one of the toughest mobs on the planet, it takes awhile to take them down, they give around 2k exp.
I hunt these a lot because they attack in melee range, and run at the same pace as you do. Also they have bad terrain negotion, so if youre looking for some nice safe exp, go with banthas.
Tabages, WarGrondas,and crazed durnis on Corellia.
Wolf Kimas on Talus.
The WarGronda is about as fast as you are, but poor terrain negotiation and good XP. The other 3 are all so slow they are not a threat if you keep moving. There are also regular kimas on Talus, but they take a LONG time to kill and are worth less thant the wolf kimas.
Of course, I am not gaining the sort of mad XP that seems to be second nature to most of the people here, lol. Anyone on Chilastra who wants to show me the ropes, please don't hesitate, hehe. My name is:
Trevet Fer'lye
lol, I was accumalting a list through personal contacts of other Rifleman in-game. All of the above I had on the list but one thing I have that you guys dont have would be Reclusive Spined Snakes. (Spitting Snakes) You can 2-3 shot these easy. 900 HP. They give 800 XP (grouped with one person) and you can search for them along the river side. Tkaes a max of 5 minutes for me to find a spawn.
A tip is to get a pro bot, or any type of droid for that matter. And group him for the group XP. As most of what was mentioned was soloing. And naturally a Rifleman is better of soloing, since it cant do the dmg a Pistol or Carabine does. (To the health and action pools) Wich tend to be the main targets. Best bet,i s to use the search to accumalate friends of rifleman, and group with them.
Could someone give me a little more information about Endor, specifically Jaxes. How much hp/xp can we expect from them.
Are they as slow as langlatchs?
How does Endor compare to Lok for relative travel and difficulty?
IMHO, tabagesonCorelliaare the best exp I have found. They can usually be 1-shotted with a T21, and give about 400 exp per, grouped with a probot.
Langlatches spawn oddly, with juveniles and females and teenagers and preteens and what have you, although they are super-easy and give lots of exp, there just aren't enough of them, and you waste time killing the crap ones. So, you have more time in between kills.
Those scavenger flying lizard guys on Lok(sorry, I forget the name)have low HAM and are worth the same as langlatches, but they sometimes help each other out (but not always, they're pretty stupid), which adds to downtime in between kills.
I've found that mass-killing low-end animals is more efficient than going after bigger game by a long shot (unfortunately - stupid SOE). If anyone could offer tips for low-HAM high exp stupid animals or NPC's, it'd be nice... keep this thread going.
Crazed Druni's are textbook example of fast (but lower) exp. They can be one-shotted and give around 288 exp a pop. I get missions for their lairs (about 2200 creds a mission) and wh0re teh lairs. But, it gets really boring after awhile. Tabages are good as well, but they take 3 shots (at least for me) so it takes longer (I can kill 2-3 drunis in the time to kill one Tabage). It seems that everything aggros you on Lok so I haven't been back since I got raped by a crazy Droideka.
I've killed woodland Kimas on Talus, great exp, but sooo long to kill.
Also on talus, the forthing vynocks are good, you can drop them in two shots for 700 exp, but they're fast so if you miss too much your incapped. (curse you 200% damage modifer!)
Also, I've found that some of the NPC's on Talus (and anywhere else for that matter) (smugglers and such). Give around 600+ exp, and they usually have some sort of rifle/pistol (making them much easier to kill than a melee guy) I can cap yellow cons in 3-4 shots (and they drop loot, but nothing incredible). They might take a little longer, but killing NPC's isA LOT more interesting than capping Drunis on Corellia =P
