It's been taking me ages to grind thru rifles for FS xp, anyone know where I can get fast XP at? I've tried rancors but I run into NS while kiting (which doesn't work too well with rancors either) almost every trip, and it takes forever to do, too. I heard you can cap Rifles in like 30 minutes, how do you do it? I've tried the Geo Lab but I failt to see how it takes 30 minutes to cap there.

just walk NE N NW of the village and kill anything for 3k or more xp. Pay special attn for lairs with 5 mobs pre-spawned. Kill all 5, tap the lair. Kill 5 more. Hit the lair to halfway and wait. Kill 5-15 more. Sometimes if you get the lair to its last 10% of health and peace out, 5 more will spawn. Ive gotten 20-30 5k mobs from some lairs. Rancors are not the fastest things to kill for xp as master rifleman. If you really like rancor, stick to the youths. Perhaps you can cap in 30 mins at the Geo cave, but then you have to bike/shuttle/shuttle/bike back to the village to bank the XP, thus negating any time advantage.

when i was levelling rifleman i would stack mindshot 1 and mindshot2 onas many snorbals as I could atone time(these are/were found on Lok) - then kite while spamming headshot2 for the win...
of course, this was back in september '03,before buffs and armor when rifleman had to use muon gold and pray they didn't take more than a couple hits... oh, and snorbals couldn't run faster than you could back then... oh, and mindshot 1 and 2 stacked...hehe those were the days...
with 80% kinetic armor, doc buffs, and brandy - just go hunt huurtons.

Actually, Ackehece, I am talking about getting FS XP. I've been Master Rifleman since beta and then again 8 weeks after release.
As for the village, what is there to kill north of it? I see mobs there, but it's usually just low-level creatures like kwis.
And as for Dantooine, I don't think there's much of anything the besides pikets for a rifleman to kill.

the best things on dant to kill are quankers for 3k or hourton stalkers for aboout 4-5k get in a group to get level 99 missions so there are 5 per spawn at 3 spawns and hope for no babies.

I have to agree with a couple of the posts, get a buff and armour, find a solo grp on dant, and hunt Huurton stalkers, for 4-5k per beast. total for lair is around the 50 to 60k XP mark. so 450k in 4 or 5 trips out.
You could try Graul Maulers (not marauders, although they are always nice to find) for 70k per lair, but they are more time consuming than huurtons, so less efficient in the long run.

how to grind Force sensitive Combat and Reflex xp with rifles (even tho commando 4000 and weaponsmith 0100 is more efficient):
doctor buffs
music buffs
vaserian brandy
T21
DXR6b
suit of ubese
travel to endor smuggler outpost
equip armour weapon get on bike turn on overlay map increase radar range to 256
select waypoint or create waypoint to Death Watch Bunker (exact waypoint can be found in various DWB guildes)
start traveling to DWB kill EVERYTHING that comes up on the radar even cowardly gurreck lairs.
you should have achieved 900k weapon XP by the time you get to the bunker if not before.
return to village
travel back to science outpost killing EVERYTHING you come across.
on arrival at SO if you have less than 450k weapons xp head to endor and top it off
if you have 400-450k weapons return to village killing EVERYTHING you come across.
doing this you should be able to max weapons xp at least 3 times per buff session.
