I would like to know why the SL xp costs are so high? 175000 for the first skill?? i think it should be more like 50000. I was hunting mountain dewbacks on tatooine and getting like 500 xp from each one in a group of 7. Many do not think this is high, and i would like to know what they hunt. I have heard of getting 15000 xp from one creature. how can you do that??I like squad leader a lot, and havent had much trouble finding groups, and was also wondering why the big patch wont do anything for squad leader?


Regards,

Larger groups, 15-20 people/pet groups rake in XP quickly.

Last weekend I went to Lok with my buddies. We did vesp lairs. Vesps are worth about 2500-3500 weapon xp per kill for me. A lair will produce...roughly 15 vesps give or take. The two CH each had their pets out and grouped, they also had a droid parked about 40m from the lair. I had a droid parked same place, so did the two CM and the BH. 18 person group. I got around (going off the top of my head) 8-10k per vesp kill and it takes less than a minute to kill a vesp. Hard part is finding lairs. Hardest part is not getting bored. Hardest of all was losing out on around 100k SL xp because I hit my 900k cap twice. All in all I made over 2 mil last weekend. I got tired of NOT taking advantage of the current xp rules so went all out to finish off my profession.

Pfft, why hunt for them. Vesp lairs appear on mission terminals from stronghold fairly often.

That's what we do, everyone gets one, 14 vesp missions. Like I said, hard part is finding the lairs...it isn't very hard.

DiLune, how much XP were you getting off those kimos we fought with last night?


I'm one of his CH running buddies, and I was getting 2000-3500 CH XP per kimo with my greater sludge panther and my gorge vesp.

damage man, i suggest you switch to pistol or unarmed or just a faster weapon. Most of the problems i here come from ppl using a rifle. It is usually very slow unless you have a spray stick, and even then i have heard it is hard to go up.



I was killing mountain dewies and squills with 15 ppl last night, getting 1500 a kill from dewies and 3 to 4k from squills.


I also find that using special attacks like kip up and chest shot increase your weapon exp(if that is obvious, slap me, lol) which increases combat which increases squad.


Also no matter what you kill if you are grouped with a ton of ppl you will get good exp. Example:i was grouped with like 18 a week or so ago, when i hit a gorg, which has less than 250 HAM, i was getting 250 sl exp off of it. The more the better.
