I actually have been moving up pikeman (still keeping swordsman, don't freak out people) by going to the Janta Cave (I think that's the name of the place?) on Endor. You won't get much money out of the deal, but you go fulling buffed/armored, and just take out the ewoks. Some of them give over 4K xp. I think at one time I had 6 of them hitting me simultaneously, and when I finished with them, they all rolled in with over 4K xp each. In one night (3 hours?), I got over 250K xp....


Like I said, won't get you money, but it was rather fast.......most won't deathblow, and they don't jump on you once you get up from incap.....

I went picket hunting yesterday on dant to get master techniques. I already had about 40k...and within a couple of hours of killing pickets and everything in between, I reached my mark Watch out for quenkers tho...i believe it's them, but they poison the hell out of you.

I kinda like Dath, myself... lots of things to hunt with good xp. I do alot of enraged rancors, 4 to 5k xp on each and I've met alot of cool people hunting in groups.

Agro 3-5 Rancors at a time and just keep area attacking em

I did alot of Giant Baz Nitches on Dath. The giant ones are easier than the Mutant ones, give more xp and the missions pay higher too (over 10k usually).

I agree with Endor as well...


First things first I always go clear out the Korga Cave... that usually takes 10 minutes and earns you about 60-85k. Then I partner up with my master doctor buddy working on his TKA and go hunting for the spider lairs... I've made 700k exp in about 2.5 hours this way. The doctor is needed for poison heals though... otherwise those spiders will knock you on your backside. Area Attack is good for the cave. You have a tendancy to get attacked by 4 or 5 Korga's at the same time but they all weild you 4-4.5k exp each.


Quick Question though... I have been to several POI Caves and never received the badge in doing so... whats the trick?

I agree with those who say Endor. I just finished mastering my Swordsman, took me 4 days.

I started with slaves in the mountain clan cave north of the top outpost on Dathomir. The spawn continously--kill one and another one pops in the same place. Even a novice can one-hit kill them. They only give ~250 exp to start, but it really adds up when you are killing a slave every 8 seconds. However as you gain bubbles, the exp drops off fast.

I killed slaves and did some rancor and baz nitch groups until 0-3-1-x. That gives you a awesome damage attack in head-hit3 and an good area attack in spin2.

From there I went to Endor and ran around attacking almost anything that moved. The great thing about endor is the place is pretty densely populated by lairs. You can wipe out a lair and just move onto the next one on your radar. I have high-end composite and I'm always buffed and drunk on brandy, so I had zero downtime.

Stay away from Bordoks (sp?) until you get more melee/dizzy defense because you'll get kd+dizzied often. Alot of the creatures have disease and poison too, so those are not really worth fighting when there's always a safer lair nearby. Forrest Gurrecks, bols, boars and the bugs are all great for exp and are pretty easy to kill. If you have the right setup, you can just go stand right on the lairs and spam spin2 until everything dies.

If you are playing solo, always group with a droid and leave it in town for an exp bonus. I think its 25%? (however, you will get much less resources if you are harvesting)

not sure about endor, but you can get quick xp doing savage quenkers on dant. they dont db and give 3300 xp and only have 6k hlth. i got area attack 3 before speed, i think you should get speed first unless you have comp armor. plus there are only 2 quenkers that come out at a time, so you wont be overwhelmed by a bunch of creatures, plus they dont poison like voritors.
