Hi guys I've just taken up smuggling and have worked to 4242 slicing containers and whatever weps were inside and making shadowpaw. Both went pretty fast. But I'm struggling as to where to grind up my pistol skills as fast as possible. Without having the modifiers from pistol tree, I'm not sure the fastest way to get my XP for Master Smuggler. Any suggestions?

faambas and gurks mostly, huurton howlers are suppost to be the best grinding mob though...

Most people forget that Yavin IV is also a good place also, you'll just want some Medic abilities instead of relying on buffs alone.

I did my grind on Yavin. Just avoid the poisonous types(Crystal Snakes, Klicknicks and Anglers)and those things that look like dinosours, they tend to damage mind more than the rest. You can ussually Slice and do two missions to pay for your Buffs and then just walk back to the outpost killing what you can kill.

Yavin is the place to be for me. I've done all my major grinding there. I've found that is hardly ever crowded there, and if you go out the east side of the trading outpost you can usually fight everything on the way out about 1500m up the river, then back down towards town in the jungle area and never run out of things to kill.
For you, without pistoleer skills, I would suggest sticking to gackle bats (way easy) mamiens, and shauputs (or whatever they are called). You can do really well without going too far out of the outpost...as little as 300m.
Good luck!

I did quenkers on Dantooine too, but with buffs. At about 15k per buff, you only have to run three missions for it to pay for itself, and you get about 15k pistol xp per mission. Slice the terminalif you wantfor about 15% more credits per mission.

I just finished my grind on Lok. I started with missions originally, but found out Random Gurk and Snorbal lairs spawn like crazy. Most of the random Gurk lairs I could milk for 100k in Pistol XP per lair. Snorbal lairs were netting me like 75k in pistol xp or so. And many times I could find 2-3 lairs (or spawn points)almost within site of one another and just keep moving between them.

Ditto...
Spamming healthshot1 and healthshot2 like a mad man with my FWG. Plus, ungrouped and unsliced, the missions pay 11k or so per mission. I did all of DF in 3-4 buff sessions.
The new loot stims (Pistol speed and Pistol accuracy) camein very handy for someone with ONLY Novice Pistoleer on top of Pistols 4.
