well the grind back to the most fun weapon in the galaxy is done. after my holo adventure i am finally done regrinding master rifle!!!
i think it was about a week of off and on playing. was much easier this time with master CH
the most astounding thing was being able to make 450k rifle XP in one hour on an astounding set of rancor missions yesterday. yesterday morning i had two boxes of rifle left concealment4 and countersniping4. i called my pet mountain dewback ScarySpice and my Gurreck Fleabus from the mysterious ever present animal pen mounted up and rode off to the first rancor lair.
on the way i stumbled across a lair of gaping spiders that were spawning 5 at a time. i sic'd Flea on them and started shooting with flushing2. the first set of spiders dropped handily and i decided to "kick it up a notch". so i told Flea to go after the lair and lets get things popping. well they did indeed pop and out came a horde of spiders 7 strong. half came after me while half went after Flea. soon as i saw all those huge spiders coming and knowing that my weak self was no match for a horde like that i took off running in large circles using the slopes of the hills to stem the advance of the horde. firing madly and yelling for Flea to come help and distract these uglies i prayed they wouldnt see ScarySpice hidden just over the hill and go after her.
while running i kept firing at the spiders on Flea so i could do the most damage as possible on a easy to hit target. eventually those went down and Flea decided it was OK to come to my aid. my legs started getting tired and i slowed down and the horde was closing fast but still taking enormous damage from my wickedly accurate T21 fire. Flea finally caught up to them and the spiders decided i was less of a threat as i stopped firing to reload while only taking short single shots while my T21 recharged from the power supply. with Flea keeping their attention and my rifle half charged i decided i had enough energy to finish the remaining 3 spiders in one quick blast.
taking stock of the area and tending Fleas wounds i noticed the lair was still seething with spiders. i then pulled back to 60 meters and started sniping at the lair trying to draw the spiders into the open where i could shoot them. soon one spider pops its head out and i stop shooting hoping he would tell his buddies "all is safe" and its "just the wind" knocking the walls of the lair. soon his buddies appear and i send Flea in for the final attack. This time the spiders fail to see me under the brush firing at them and try to take their anger out on Flea and fail badly at it. killing the lair yielded quite a bit of XP.
Finding Scary still behind her hill i mounted up and continued on. 500 meters closer to the troublesome rancor lair i noticed weaponfire coming from the southeast and getting closer. stopping Scary and Flea to observe, the figures come closer and and its an imperial stormtrooper pursued by a rhoakwi of some sort. looked like a pack leader. the trooper was madly firing his E11 and started to look a bit woozy as the kwi knocked him over with a final charge and started to rip pieces of his armour off. i immediately sent Flea to the trooper's aid and started firing while dismounting Scary. the Kwi was quickly dispatched. i offered the trooper some firstaid and tried to assist him in gathering his armour up but he bruskly refused my efforts. i think his pride was hurt. so i mounted back up on Scary and started back in pursuit of the rancor lair.
as i drew close to the lair i got a report giving more exact coordinates of the rancors. 100 meters from the lair i dismounted and tie Scary to a tree and proceed to get within macrobinocular range of the rancor lair...
not only is there the lair i had been assigned to take out but there was also two kamurith snapper lairs with about a dozen snappers and 3 rancors wandering about. i slowly sneak up to within 55 meters of the furthest lair and send flea to attack the grouped monsters. Flea once again joyously lopes off to engage in his favorite past time knowing i am there to support him. he quickly manages to piss off every creature in the area and is soon lost in the melee. i quickly go into a kneeling position and open fire using the flushing2 maneuver while skillfully avoiding hitting Flea. in short order all the monsters are dead or dying and the experience is rolling in. i call Flea back and administer to the minor cuts and scrapes. the rest of the rancors and snappers fall like clockwork in a text book attack by Flea and I. i managed to gather some rather powerful rancor bile out of a few of the rancors and a few pieces of hide are still in useful shape for armour making. while collecting these valuable items o get a comm-cast thanking me for a mission well done.
this whole adventure gathered me close to 350K rifle XP. the rest was garnered off the other mission lair. but im sure you dont want to hear about those...

well you can get away with just 2 ppl if they have the right pros ... but i think i know what your group is going to consist of, and that makes a great team also...
good luck... it seems that pearls are dropping more often now, i'm getting 2 or 3 from the canyon and juvy spawns

me master rifle master CH
two friends master doc and the other master CH master BE.
of course im the damage dealer. our plan is to rotate pets while the doc heals em. having the doc attack is not advisable since if that person dies there is no one to do emergency res. i tried this with a novice commando and controlled the krayt pretty well with just the commando and my gurreck taking turns with dirt naps tanking it.
but the real problem is finding the krayt and keeping the children off it. killing it isnt that big of a deal comparatively.

i've been teaming with a Mdoc/MCH... me MRifle/MCH... 3 BE pets AR1 60% kin... buffed and the doc just heals... his 15k HAM merek tanks pretty well on its own with him just standing next to it healing...
here'stip for healing your pets minds quick...
/yell follow;/yell t2;/yell attack type it like that in the chat tab just like that and...
also make the BE 'friend' your pets so he can call the tricks out off of his pools 
...
...there are a few other tricks but i think you already know them...
also try a peko albotrose, those are tough to kill too, AR2 and some really nice resists... plus the feather drops are nice too... a little harder than a juvy kryte and alot harder to find...
