Swordsman Archive

I just wanted to start a thread to help people get a few Tips on Swordsman XP, grouped/solo, planets to goto, combos, ect...

Personaly right now being on tatooine i find that solo'n Feral Bantha's good xp *around 900ish a piece*, or if i group fighting dewbacks/ronto's *little over 1000xp per*

if you have any tips feel free to postem

well this sounds kinda corney but i did it very wuickly and it worked out pretty good for me.

as soon as you get your first area attack. you need to get a 2handed axe or somethign with moderat dmg and virtually no HAM cost. i am mainly on naboo so im not sure how it works anywhere else, but you get nexto to the lair to soem blue(or white depending on the creature) and bash the lair 2 times with 2h hit. then just keep doing the area attack and as you hit the lair more creatures spawn and usually you can kill blues in 1 hit. i find this works best on spider lairs casue they seem to spawn the fasteds. i used to get 1k exp per lair in just over 4 min

Best xp tip = group with a medic

Well, I don't have area attack yet but I love spinattack1...I must have killed 20 hermit spiders in a span of one minute. Also, killing scyks on tatooine gives you decent xp without giving you tons of downtime.

Wait until you guys get Spin Attack 2...Hit everything in area for about 750-2000 per. I can easily walk up to a lair of blues, hit the lair once, then do one or two spin attacks and everything is dead.

Where abouts on Tatooine are you hunting the ferals?

The best way to get xp, and money is to go to dantooine and get town missions to kill dead logs, usually they are the piket lairs or hurrton matron lairs, you can get 4kxp for like a 500m run, and around 4k creds as well, with insurance kicked in you can get at least 50k xp an hour.

personally I spend most of my time on yavin 4 or dantooine hunting and running missions there..

not bad for exp can usually get 50-100k in about 2 hrs with most kills getting about 2.5k-3k exp and a few hundred cexp

been using powerhammer sliced with max damage 480 and speed 3.1 with area attack3 which hits for between 1-4k damage sometimes as much as 7k with knockdown dizzy attack thrown in.

Ive only 2 blocks till master now and found that using area attacks got a lot of exp quickly, as for when I was lower level I just used to go to nargaltch caves on naboo with a medic and would leave with 50k ish exp after clearing caves.

hope thats some help

1) Get advanced ubese

2) get a good 2 handed curved sword and a good power hammer (you will need both). Power hammer for bleeds only for the most part. If the monster is resistant to kinetic and not blast, or it has over 1 armor, use the power hammer.

3) Find a good doctor that can buff you whenever you need buffs, or become one

4) migrate ALL of your stat points into mind/focus/willpower

5) go to dathimor, dantooine, or endor (in order of importance) and get exp

finish up your last few boxes on Dantooine doing (no not FS :smileyhappy Huurton Stalker missions. By then you should havegreat complimentary skills.

You get around 2-3 per kill on a 6 spawn lair plus 10k creds.

The best way to get xp is to go to lok and run around killing things (with your non CH or CH pet, i find rockmites work well). Try and attack things that arent social or that are social but are away from the pack. There is a type of creature called a snorbal and it gives about 1000 for the calves (quick kill-watch for adds) and 4000 for the elders (long but safe) and 3500 for the mature (long but safe). I can take these out with my non CH pet without losing much ham. I only have sword techniques 1 and finesse 1. Just make sure you dont get adds or it can get very tricky, and make sure your pet takes the aggro. Heal your pet with pet stims or normal heals and do a trick before every fight. The snorbal lairs spawn almost endlessly. With only 2 lairs it is common to get 170000xp with all the kills. The snorbals dont deathblow and if your pet stops taking aggro just run circles around it until it gets aggro back. I got sword techniques 2 like this very quickly and am trying to find training (not many people on lok).

If you have trouble with snorbals try and take the reclusive snakes (killable in 2-3 hits, non social, low dmg output, 1k xp each)

another xp trick is to group with a pet or droid for the group xp bonus (goes from 4000 xp to about 4400 which is a nice bonus)

The rebel outpost on Rori is good for xp as well if lok is too far or too tough for you. It is jampacked with easy spawns so you can run from lair to lair and finish them quickly with little running. Watch out for forest mites, attack one and you might end up with 20 on you.

Good a time as ever for that nifty spin attack, eh?

i find this strange but gnorts, they were good for gaining swordsman, and they still give more exp than any low level animal on naboo. 62 points of 2h exp, and 6 combat. un equip your weapon, take on a couple of gnort missions, and use spin attack 1, or spin 2, or sweep 2, and destroy the whole nest in a matter of seconds. its slow but it works.

personally i just use a curved sword and take giant peko peko missions, i just wish i could find myself a good cleaver on the wanderhome server... hermit spiders dont do anything for me i get 3 points of exp per queen, and 1 for any other type of hermit spider.

i would suggest going hunting for sharnaff on corellia, or fambaa on naboo. just have a ch with a couple of sludge panthers to tank. and all you do is go in and use your head hit attack, and if you have it, your mind wound (bleed) attack. the animals will be keeping the fambaa/sharnaff busy while you kill it at your leisure. just have to come up from behind the animal or else it will attack you. it takes some time to get the attack down set, but it works. i have done kimogilla hunts this way, a person uses their graul, or graul mauler to keep the kimo busy, and they shoot at it, i come in beside, or behind it (away from where the animals are) and it just keeps switching the thing it is attacking, and poof, the thing goes down.
