I haven't been in game today to verify this for myself, but people on my server are saying the HAM on savage quenkers has been doubled to 8k with today's patch. My question as an aspiring Master Rifleman is this: is there something better to hunt? I am currently 3-2-4-4 in Rifleman. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

IF this is true, I would be surprised... but ya never know with these devs!

DevSlave: "Devmaster, they are killing savage quenkers by the buttload. What shall we do?"
DevMaster:"Double their HAM....and bring me a sandwich."

DevSlave: "We doubled their HAM. Now they are killing Bocatts on Tattooine in droves."
DevMaster: "Triple the HAM of the Bocatts. Do we have any pickles?"

DevSlave: "Now they are killing Rontos until there are none left to spawn."
DevMaster: "Make the Rontos AR3 and up all their resists to 70%. And I need a soft drink."


DevSlave: "Master, the entire Scavenger Rat population on Corellia is being annihilated by the wandering Riflemen."
DevMaster: "Bastards! Quadruple their HAM, double their damage and hand me the TV remote."


DevSlave: "We are down to two Durni's hiding under a bush outside Kor Vela, Master. What shall we do?"
DevMaster: "Have they no pride? Quadruple their HAM, double their damage, raise their resists, increase their AR.".


DevSlave: "Master... the planets are deserted. No one is playing."
DevMaster: "Hmmmm. Fickle gamesters. Find me the phone number for monster.com."

BTW, apparently this is true. Double HAM and ranged attacks. Keep laughing.

They had ranged attacks before, they just rarely used them. So I guess they are now small pickets that don't pay as much per mission, cool I am moving to picket hunting again then.

The 7k hurton missions are simillar in ease to the old savage quenker missions and simillar difficulty. Just watch out, they do DB.

Did some savage quenker missions today. Only difference with the increase in HAM is, now it takes 4 headshots instead of 3


Still the way to go when lvling IMO

What are you using to drop them in 4 shots?

they had ranged (green spit, acid damage) before publish 6 or 7, but one of those patches broke it so they'd only melee. now they're back to normal, and they'll also try to kite melee classes.

I found the best thing to kill for rifleman exp was Graul Maulers. They only spawn 2 usually per lair, so its easy to manage.. if you have suppression fire you can usually get one to kneel and mindshot2, then headshot3 down. As long as you have some decend armor to fall back on and are buffed the 2nd one usually is cake. Using pets makes this MUCH easier and 100% safe, and you get around 4500-4800 per kill. But, as with all combat grinds, your weapon gets worked pretty quick. I used a good laser rifle, nice damage slice, and a powerup. Hope this helps.

I did alot of my levelling on dath do rancor missions. 5k a rancor plus good money and reasonable loot (sometimes). Once you get flushing 2 you will pick up xp from each of the rancors popping, rather than just the one targetted :-)

With this and the Dev's being forced to keep Rancors Nerfed(Dev rule number 12963 in the Nerfing Articals: Must make pets worthless in PVP) I expect Rancors to be noobie content in 4 more months.

A lot of people don't seem to like to like Sharnaff missions on corellia but i've found 12k or 13k missions to great for leveling, between 3.5k and 5.5k per creature and around 4 or 5k for the lair in exp makes them well worth getting into a solo group for. It gets very tedious but very little risk and almost no outlay makes them ideal for leveling, until you can handle the rancors

Ok that explains why I hadn't seen it in awhile......
