a Spray stick and lots of lots of running. find a creature you can out run and kite to death.

Spraystick + Fort Tusken + Head Shot 2 = decent XP - no lie though, Rifles 4 and the trek to Novice Rifleman SUCKS...but after that, it gets refreshingly easier.

Oh man, I hated Novice Sharpshooter. Took me ages to get until somebody suggested going to Dathomir and hunting with a group.

Of course I am on Bria, one of the most heavily populated servers, and there's always at least 100 people on Dath's outpost.

Nice!

I been waiting for a good reason to go visit Tattooine too. This, plus the sooped up quest rewards and possibility of tuskens raiding cities is probably gonna keep me on tatooine for a long stint. Now to find a solid spratstick. been using an OK laser thus far.

Yeah I was using a spray stick and laser back in my early days.

Then I killed for crystals, sold them to people who like them, bought good guns and buffs and just kept levelling.

Then I wasnt able to play for about 3 months due to IP conflicts from that stupid Virus in August.

Now im a 4-1-3-3 Rifleman.

I suggest as soon as you hit Rifleman to first get Conceal Shot, then go up the Sniper tree for accuracy then do as you wish.

Oh, if you think Rifle4 is a grind, try novice rifleman and the first rifleman box... ...

I went solo on Dat to kill quenkers, it helped, also went on a rancor hunting trip on Dath, that helped even more.

somthing that i do for full xp....Group with 1 thing..could be a pet or a player wutever.The trick to getting full xp is wutever your fighting make sure you ONLY Bleed it...any auto fire shot or anyother shot will mess this up..so i macro it or just type /mindshot1;/mindshot2(you dont have this shot) after the first mind bleed quicklydisarm(after you disarm the weop the second shot..if you have it will still be fired)the weopon and peace..if you do it right you will have the creature bleeding and not hostile..now depending on wut your fighting this could take a couple of mins or a few seconds to bleed the creature...once it hits 1 mind left auto fire away for full xp i got master marksman in like 2 hours doiing this

Only way to find out is to try.

This wasn't as bad for me as fencer was. Some hints. I did all of my advancement to 1001 on Naboo.

Kill everything. Well not quite everything but anything that gives you 100+ xp. On your way to a mission you will pass a lot of lairs. Kill everything there. What makes this paletable is the fact that we don't have to get up and go over to every **edit** thing, we can just hit tab and shoot the next one. While killing nightspiders may not seem like much but when the lair spits out 30 of the **edit** things at 120 a piece thats quite a bit of xp.

Get a pet. Group with it. This was mentioned before and it's very important. The xp bonus is at least 10%. If you want give it the stay command and leave it in town.

If you have mask scent use it. On everything. I may be wrong but it does seem to take longer for creatures to notice me if I have this on reguardless of weather they are yellow or red in the radar.

Find a good weapon, the faster you kill the faster you gain xp.

When taking missions take creature missions. Most of the hunt the npc missions only have 2 maybe 3 people there. Yes they may individualy give more xp, the fact that theres so few means that the creatures give more xp overall. These also tend to group agro the most.

The only real problem I had is what I call the desert of the nuna. There seems to come a time on Naboo, maybe other planets as well, where you only can get nuna missions. I ran into this on my way to fencer as well. Nunas would not be so bad if 3/4s the lair wasn't dwarf nunas.

If you can hunt with a group do so. Some tips if you want to gain xp with a group. Hunt with people who are higher up then you. Pref with big pets. Now I hunt with people lower then me, but not for xp, always for other reasons. If you want to hang with your friends, help a guild mate, or whatever great. But if they are lower then you it will cut into your xp. Note I always picked a chance to hunt with somebody over xp as making friends was more important to me. And if you do this remember the nice people who helped you and help somebody else.

If your hunting big game let the other person attack first. If you are new ask for advice on what you should do, that way when there trying to bleed draw some nasty away from his mates you don't screw it up and get everybody killed.

Use the assist command. Put it in your tool bar and target the leader. When he starts fireing hit the assisst button and you will start to shoot at his target. I don't like the way it works completly but at least your fireing at the right target. What I don't like about it is while you start shooting at the leaders target, you remain targeted on the leader, and it can be tricky to find the one your shooting in a group.

Note if your leader tells you to do something else then do so. He may tell you to take on something weak while he deals with something strong. Tactics can be very useful.

This is what has worked in my experience.

You should be fine with Quenkers, get a laser rifle, prone at MAX range, you should have mindshot1(i think)

you should be able to get one mindshot and two headshots in, and just spam headshot till it dies and repeat the process.

At your level, you shouldn't need spice to buff up your mind yet, but have some armor for resist when they come close to you.

If you have two of them on you at once, you can try to warningshot one of them away and kill the other one.

It took you two days to master rifleman?!?! as in 48 hours of playtime? I don't have a pet so i can't use the flurry shot2 trick.. ..
