Pikets have high kineticdefense the tard who suggested those wants to see you dead 
Try huurtons and quenkers on dant. Quenkers only spawn two per nest, very good for novice grinder. Group with ANYTHING and you get like 30% more XP but like 30% less on your harvest (meat, etc).
Good luck, paying a CH to befriend his pet to you is nice too.

"The tard" who suggested thathas gone from unarmed 4 up to TKA 1-1-0-0 running piket missions solo with the armor and the buffs in less than two nights of playing on Dant. Yes, they have high kinetic defense, but with good ubese armor and buffs it equals out.
Plus you're getting almost double the money from quenker or huurton missions, so I'd say it's worth it. You'll pay for a new suit of ubese (you'll need it) in just a night or two of doing this, while taking care of paying for your buffs.

True, picket missions do pay few thousand more, but IMO, you can easily run quenker missions nearly twice as fast than pickets. Quenkers have far less kinetic defense, as well as half the HAM so they go down a lot faster than pickets. Plus they only spawn 2 at a time instead of 3 or 4 at a time like pickets do. When grouped with a droid quenkers give me nearly 4000 unarmed exp per kill and about 3500 for the lair itself.So yes, while pickets do pay out slightly more per mission, you can still get more exp as well as more money in the long run with a lot less hassel. You can clean up savage quenker missions pretty easily with buffs and in about half the time it would take you to kill a picket lair. Each savage quenker pays nearly 7K per mission and you can run them faster than pickets so in the long run they pay better.
I rum Hurrton Howler missions, yes they DB but they don't get the chance very often because they go down pretty easily even three at a time and I get nearly the same XP from a howler as with a Piket Plains walker. It's a much easier fight, I use less stims therefore less mind, I get less wounds and less combat fatigue so I can stay out fighting longer before I need to head to a cantina to heal - which means much more XP over time than with Pikets. True, I get less money per mission but I was a master architect for about the first six months of the game so that's not really an issue.
Desert Eopies on Tatooine pull in about 1008 xp each, are non social and if you've got decent armour and a VK, they're a pushover. At Novice TK, 4 Bodyhits takes them down and the xp is still around the 1008 mark.
Maybe it's not the highest amount of xp, but it's certainly the safest. Softly, softly catchee monkey...
One trick is also to get some Muon Gold and some good stimpacks. If your Mind is taking a hammering, pop the MG, then heal yourself to keep your other stats up. I was tanking a Mountain Squill that aggroed on me at Unarmed IV using this method and, yes, I did die, but not before I'd got it down to about 10% of its Health. Had it attacked me when I was on full HAM, it would have gone down.
