What should I be hunting as a Novice Swordsman? I am currently using 70% kinetic ubese and a decent cleaver. I also use Tatooine Sunburn and Muon Gold. Just got back to SWG after a long break. Any suggestions guys?

I took huf dun missions on Talus when I was intermediate swordsman and they're a walkover, progress up the techniques line first to get your head hits and speed and you can slaughter them in no time.

When you can, move up to torturs, they're the same only bigger and not much harder to kill.

Is there any worthwhile on Naboo? Probably not? Thanks for the advice!

Until I could kill Piket Plains Walkers on Dant I killed War Grondas on Corellia. I mastered in just 3 days, so it worked for me. If you can get the missions. I was a master pistoleer when I started, so I could hold my pistol and get the War Grondas, then kill them with my sword. Alternatively, you could group with one or two people just to get the missions then solo them.

I suggest to kill savage quenkers on dantooine,I got novice swordsman this way.They are pretty easy,around 4500 HAM,I kill em fairly quick with mind hit 1 and then 2hndhit2 all the way,or if their mind gets real low,just use head hit.And if you haven't gotten a power hammer yet,go get a speed sliced one.Mine's is 3.6 speed with 424 max damage.They do massive damage.I'm already 0/1/0/1 with the svage quenkers.Oh and by the way,the savage quenkers give around 3k xp.

mynocks on lok are good--they fall quickly and net you about 30k experience a mission. Watch out for disease however....

heres some advice for leveling up really fast.

work up the techniques tree for speed first. Then get thearea attack 2 in defense 1. Now travel to endor, buffed with at least 70% kinetic resist armor (bring some muon and mind food/drink), and go to the jinda(sp) ritualist cave. The cave is packed with red and yellow con mobs that only do kinetic damage. Let about 5 - 10 of them aggro you and spam area attack 2. They all drop in under 30 seconds. Pat yourself on the back, you just pulled 15 - 30kXP in under 30 seconds. I could clear the whole cave out by myself doing this, raking in about roughly200k XP per visit. I guess the cave camping is a different factor from server to server so results may vary.

I wish i knew about this before i had all but the offense tree left.

What about us wookiees that have no armor... I go to Tat and kill desert eopie's because that is the best mission I can pull... I am using a sword with 1.1 speed and max of 300something... should I really move to a hammer that is three times as slow for the extra 100something damage?? Help... because I am really struggling through this profession... **edit** holocron...

Get buffed, go to dant, hunt savage quenkers. You'll pull around 150k-250k xp per hour.
