Thread: Rancors or Fort Tusken?
Im a wookie and have 140% composite armor...... 200% RIS head piece and a 487% Ubese chest plate.
Oh wait a minute, i have fur and 600 ham points that do absolutely **edit**.
TKM, Master 2 Hand, Master Brawler, Novice Pikeman, Novice Medic, Exp III, Hunt I- Scout.- I can solo krayts................
Enraged Rancors are best on Dathomir - Voritor Lizzards on Dant - Sand Beetles on Tat - only planets I hunt..... Oh yea, Gurks on Lok ( Pack hunters, and they bite for the shins - be careful.)
This game is easy.... Untill it comes to pvp, then your a dead swordsman - unless your fighting a master dancer, but they have Composite too ![]()
Do rancors they are exp goldmines. I get like 4.5k exp from youths and about 5k from regular butI never use swords against bulls because of their disease.

I would stay away from the Tuskens for a while...I have been hearing alot of news coming from that place from lots of people on lots of boards, about Tuskens hitting you like 10 times in about 2 seconds (not an exaggeratoin)
ok if you are without buffs jsut watch out for the warlords&chiefs the rest you can take easy as far as tuskens go, there is usually a group going in the fort at any rate so just tag along and you will do fine.
If you are buffed and have a little something to help the mind if you get into trouble then the only thing at the fort that will trouble you is the uber tusken that spawns with 43k ham or so it can take you out in a couple of hits if you are not careful (double bleed this puppy and run and i hope your first warcry sticks!) this thing wreak havoc when it spawns and send ppl flying usually as no-one expects it to spawn (which is weird because it is a semi regular spawn there)! Warlords can get tricky if there are alot of other tuskens around but if you use your head (or a pet
)it is pretty easy to do!
I leveled TKM in 3 days at Fort Tusken pre vehicle patch.
After the Vehicle patch, I went back there to level and half the time I can barely get inside the Fort because the Tusken shoots through the walls and won't let you in.
If you're lucky enough to get in, they hit you with Strafe Shot for over 2000. I got Shot for Strafe Shot 6 times for over 2000 in about 10 seconds.
Ft Tusken is a gamble nowaday, you never know what the NPC will be like.
Well in my journey to master heavy sword i started on Dantooine killing huurtons, pikets, and savage quenkers. After i reached techniques 4 and finesse 2 went to dathomir killing rancors. The problem i ran into was the occasional bleed. But being a doc that was no problem. Secondly i had 75% kinetic comp armor so rancor were no problem otherwise. About 4 or 5 head hits can drop a rancor.
Fort tusken is cool but i found that it was usually too mobed by other players to get any real xp.
I dont remember how much exp that blood-stained mereks give on Endor...about 4300 sticks in my mind.
They are vulnerable to kinetic, so you can whip out the curved sword or cleaver and go to town. Blast resist probably isn't that high if you're one of those swordsmen who insist on using the hammer all the time. ![]()
Actually come to think of it they might not be too great because of the kinetic vulnerability... due toa bug it makes it to you get no AP bonus on a vulnerability. Great for a fencer (what I leveled on them), not so great for a swordsman I guess. Worth a shot I suppose.
Also whatever you do, get group. Group with that mount that you will never use anymore, or withsomeone who is also going solo. This will give you +25% more exp. Hope this helps
