Thread: Banthas, the exp fountian
Also, Rori is good for rebel fp, not too many imperials around (I've seen one, that was one time, yay!)

I don't know if you've noticed, but banthas(mainly ferals) are an exelent source of exp. I started taking them of rifles 3 and I usualy get 1k exp per feral. Now I'm a novce rifleman with a t21 and I can one shot them with a head shot 2. Think about 1k exp per shot. Thats good, at least from what I've seen.
I'm a master marksman and can one-shot ferals with my laser rifle with a damage powerup and HS2. My high-end shots go for 1429 or so. You're on Tat on Starsider too, let's go hunt sometime and if the beast doesn't die from our headshots and gets too close I'll finish it off with eyeshot.
I'm usually on from about 16:00-ish to 22:00-ish Tue - Sat and almost anytime on Sunday and Monday, in-game name Ypiana.

To find, engage, and complete a Krayt kill can take a long time. Feral banthas and other game are way more productive use of time while gaining XP. But krayts do reward mondo xp if you survive the battle. ![]()

Do the mission terminals give missions that go after Feral Banthas? Its hard to find them sometimes...
There are also Torturs on Talus - the little ones you can headshot to death with a good laser (or T21 if you are so fortunate) from cover and mask scented. The bulls you will need to get 2 good bleeds on, one hit with a rifle to make the xp count and head shot it until it comes over and incaps you. Then it will die while you are recovering.
Alternately, you can /peace, /stand, unequip your rifle and equip some armor and you should be able to withstand the attack until it dies. At 3/0/0/1 rifleman I was getting over 3k per bull and 1.5 to 2k per regular tortur (can't remember off hand) and 800-1k for meager torturs.
Now....once I got my rifle upgraded I was actually able to take out Tortur Bulls just before they got to me by bleeding once, Mind Shot 2 for ~1k - just in case I get incapped, then spamming head shot 3 (becuase it DOES do extra damage, and that can help in the long run) while mask scented and from cover starting 60-65m from the target. I will usually get 4 shots off plus the first tick of the bleed, and about 3 shots before it gets to me, sometimes dropping the target - since their HAM score are onlyin the 5 thousands. Find a lair and have a field day...
Oh yeah, and Torturs are not a BAF mob, so you can pull singles.
wow a whole thread of clueless people
hey guys ever heard of a small innocent looking creature called the Giant Baz Nitch?
It's much easier to get around dathomir now and Giant Baz Nitch give 4.5k-5k exp each
Just get you a decent pet to keep him busy and fire away
You'll be master in no time (they give awesome Scouting exp too when you harvest)

Baz's get boring. Fighting them with a graul tanking is like pulling on wet boots. Hee hee, if you think I'm clueless let's go to Dath and see who can solo then without pets.
I can. That's when they get interesting again.

Krayts will hit the exp cap.. think it's either 5900 exp or 5000exp, I dunno myifle xp was maxed out when I started killing them but i seem to recal either 590or 500 combat xp flying by on the juveniles. Not worth the time for the exp. even though they also give 2000 CH exp (the CH exp cap)
