Ok so I'm in a wierd spot and therefore have an odd question. I'm working on Swordsman/Doc. Unfortunately I don't have and can't afford the resources to make buffs and can't make any good buffs anyway. I can't seem to find any med use 90 buffs on vendors and I have yet to find any doctors buffing for quite some time now.
So.....where the heck do I go to grind up some decent XP that I can survive without buffs. I have good kinetic resist ubese, min dam/mind powerups, a decent hammer and two decent curved swords and I can make decent stim C's to keep me alive (no stim D's b/c I lack a factory).
I can buy food and probably stim D's which will help but where should I grind?
ATM I'm killing those bat things on Lok for around 10k a mission and anywhere from 1500 to 3000 experience. I usually just use spin attack 2 on the lair, heal with stim C's, burst run when I get to low, heal up and rest while mind regens, then repeat until dead. It takes about two or three times to accomplish this. Its decent but I wonder if there is any place better. I just went to Lok looking to place a harvester for the wheat.

Any buff is a good buff. You can make buff A's with minimal resources. Your only real catch is avian. It's not cheap, but some novice scout and a trip to Naboo will fix this. You may not get the best avian, but something is better than nothing.
If you collect enough avian together, you might be able to trade a master doc for some C buffs. That's better than nothing. You get the buffs you want, and the doc gets the meat he wants.

If you have good kinetic armor and you don't use specials at ALL, you can probably take a lot more on then you expect. Make sure you take some Brandy and maybe Ahrisa or Canape for the mind regen so you can heal off any damage no problem. I would defenelty suggest NOT using any specials at all though, and probably use the curved swords or a nice scythe if you got one.
BTW what server doesn't have docs buffing? On Bria there are 10+ at a time in coronet alone

Thanks y'all. I play on Chimaera, the Euro server because, although I'm in the US, I play at odd hours and was hoping more people would be on then due to the time difference.
Despite hitting the big places (Bestine, Coronet, Theed) and using planet chat, I've only found docs buffing guildies or themselves or refusing to let anyone else stand in line because they've been buffing too long already.
As I'm working on doc myself I am sympathetic to the idea that these are players too and have the right to not buff me if they don't want to, especially if they've already been buffing for awhile and want to just play the game.
I just have bad luck I guess. I can make Buff A's and I"m harvesting Lokian Wheat and Tat Fiberplast so I can grind some med crafting on ABC's and hopefully make better buffs soon. I'm also trying to reach master so I can just buy some med use 90+ buffs I've seen on vendors.
I figure once I'm buffed I can grind out the rest of swordsman easier. But I would like to make some decent XP and money from missions in the meantime.
I have an alt on bria but no money there...lol.
