Ack is exactly right here. It's going to depend. Quenkers on Dantooine are very popular. You can usually take them down with a coupe HeadShots. Nor do they Deathblow. Dantooine is a fairly good hunting ground for the mid levels.

Find targets you are comfortable hunting. If possible I would suggest MOB's that use ranged attacks. This lets you keep them at ideal range since they won't close to melee most likely. Thoughsince you are TKM also you probably won't have many problems if they do get close.

Another tactic you may want to try with your TKM is fight tough MOB's like Rancors. Go prone and you should be able to get off three or four shots before they close to melee. Then switch to TKM and finish them off. Not sure how well this tactic will work but you may get some good Rifle XP from this. If you do try this let me know how it worked.

I would suggest getting a pet/droid and grouping with it for the XP bonus. When grouped you can get an extra 15-20% XP. It will make leveling much faster. You don't have to take it with you, I told mine to stay in the starport. As long as you are grouped and on the same planet ( I didn't test to see if it worked between different planets ) you will get the bonus.

As for which weapon I would suggest either an E11 or Laser Rifle until you hit Novice Rifleman. At that point get a T21 or three and get them sliced. Use any speed slices at this point. If you get damage sliced put them aside until you hit Master.

what about spraysticks? they are just like pistols...and you can use pointblankarea 1.....the only problem is a super high mind cost because you are firing so fast. The one i have is sliced to 1.3 speed, with 40 mind per shot :S so lots of brandy and ahrisa just to grind. I wasnt sure whether to use a T21 because at novice they are so damn slow

generally we skip the spray stick. Is great for fast speed but the damage potential is way low. Withe the weapon change delay it is no longer as desirable asit once was. before we would use the spray stick when we got charged to fire warning and threaten shot but now it takes 3-5 secs to change weapon andit is ap 0 and it has a low damage range it is not as useful as it once was X- e11's or laser rifles are great -XThe T-21 is the god stick but unless you have some sea's and a speed sliced t-21 is better to stick with e11's or laser until you get some speed

I leveled Rifleman on Tatooine, but a LOT has changed in the game since then. Still, there is a wide variety of good MOBs on Tat. Bocatts will get up near 3600 XP (when grouped) and Mountain Squill used to be around 4500 XP... assume they still are. Like Ackhece said, the most important thing is to find a place where you are comfortable and hang there. I always liked Tatooine because of the wide open spaces and always felt a little uneasy on Dant and VERY uneasy on Lok. Plus last time I went to Lok almost nothing would spawn. I was out riding around the countryside one night for an hour and only a few nests of anything actually spawned.
