I went to endor the other day, and managed to get 600k xp in 1 hour!. I ended up getting about 1.2mil xp in 3 hours of killing stuff. I have to admit I was working on tka 4/0/1/4 at the time, and not swordsman. I took 9.5k gurreck missions, and just stopped when I saw a pouncing jax lair or just random spawns of jax and crazed gurrecks or roba at times. The bestpart wasgetting about 10 or more surroundingme and just using an area attack to take them all down. This was easier later at night when more creatures had spawned, otherwise you need to travel around more, and the xp/hour will be somewhat less.

Dathomir. There are always multiple rancor lairs within 500m of the sarlacc. 600K xp/hr, rancor loot drops, and they constantly respawn fairly close so you don't have to run around a lot.

Loot. Ugh. I killed about 115 rancors (youth, regular, gnarled, and enraged) in half an hour tonight and I got one vibro lance. That's it. I gave up at that point. Did wonders for my combat XP, though—by the time I'm ready to drop merchant and artisan for TKA and fencer I'll have enough CXP to go right to 0-0-0-4 TKA. (well, maybe not quite that much, but I'm only 45KCXP from Precision I, II, and III right now

The best place to go and just found this out is the Geno cave. Your gonna need good armor, buffs, brandy and that other mind food for the secondaries. Get right their in the front with all those geno's spawning and keep spinning aerial 3they are 5k a kill and man is it fast. Just make sure when new geno's spawn go up and get melee with them so they dont shoot you with the stun pistol and you will be fine. I just did this with TKM to go with my MHS. Since we do basically twice at least 1.5 x's more dmg than a TKM it will be even faster for you. The only problem you might have is if their are a ton of them their when you first arrive it can be tricky, the more peeps their the better.

From my own experiences, Endor would be the best choice. On Dantooine you have to contend with that horrible, horrible lag that follows you when you hop on your speeder so it kind of forces you to walk there, and with there being close to 0 wild spawns anymore on Dantooine you are kind of out of luck with getting that extra xp. On Endor I made 1.4 mill xp in a 2.5 hour buff just by taking 2 crimson bluurg missions and slaughtering everything there and back from the missions and doing it again until my buffs ran out. If you have the meditative line in TKA the spiders or mites poison and disease won't bother you a bit.
Although I will say the Geonosain cave was particually kind to me yesterday. I went there just to try to get more yellow cubes to make another scythe, and I ended up staying for a complete buff. When I walked away I had a good 170k combat xp and 3 characters were full of loot (my friends that went with me).
It all depends on what you feel comfortable with taking on. If you like Dantooine, sure go ahead and kill the quenkers or whatever they are, I personally don't like the scenery on Dantooine so I go elsewhere if I want to grind out some combat xp.

Endor all the way! 
3.4 million xp in a total of 8 hours spread over two days to finish swordsman.. before I stalked the landscape killing everything that didn't disease, I spent some time in the jinda cave area attacking the jindas for some nice xp. Oh and I love those borgles on Endor, if you're grouped with something certain species of them can give up to 4800 xp and they drop like flies

depends.. 1. do you want random spawns, or 2. mission lairs? 3. money and xp or 4. just xp.
for 1. Endor: there are plentiful spawns of wild lairs you can just walk around on buffs to your heart's content
2. Dant: savage quenker missions give good xp and are fast (7-8k credits and 4-5k xp per kill)
3. Dant: see above
4.. Endor again: plentiful spawns of wild lairs (which pop more creatures than mission lairs)
there you go hope it helps
edit: oh and yavin is really good for just xp as well with very plentiful spawns (personally one of my favorites)

At what lvl swordsmen would everyone suggest going to Endor for wild layer spawns? I did the TK trees on Dant, starting out as novice brawler all the way to TKM, just doing savage quenker missions. But wild layer spawns would be great, and I'd love to work on Endor, just not sure when I should go.

as soon as you get your area of attack
You mean when you get SA1, at TwoHanded IV ... or more like SA2 / AA1?
Thanks for the help btw. The Swords community has been good to me.

this will probably draw fire, but i think that yavin is very underrated. its a question of math really, a kliknik nest with hunters/defender/queens will yeild a lot more enemies to kill in a shorter period of time. Pikets are ok but you only get 6-9 per nest at approx 3k per. compare that to 15-20 klikniks at 2700 or more per and the math speaks for itself. in addition to that yavin has good progression, mamiens and such are great till you cap speed then its spiders and kliks till master. yavin also has better lair density ime, dantooine you spend too much time wandering around or running for missions. Endor is just not efficient, the monsters there are very strong, the exp is great but things there will kill you. no db animals on yavin makes it a perfect place for working your skills out. the animals also have very low resists overall compared ot either dant or endor making them go down faster which means more kills per hour and a higher total exp haul. on average i was getting over 800k exp in 1.5 hours-2hours. ymmv.

On Yavin, were these missions or random spawns; also, what out post were you at? I am intrigued by this as I hunt on dathomir and it's getting a little old slaughtering rancors w/o any effort. I want some kliknik loot too (I collect armor plates).

There are only two places that will give you 700k xp per hour without exploits.
The first is the Rancor spawns around the Sarlacc pit on Dathomir.
The second is the Jinda Ritualist's cave on Endor.
That's about it.
