460K in 2 hours. Assuming everything you fought was 5K XP (the maximum) that leaves 46 creatures an hour. What the hell were you fighting that would let you kill almost a creature a minute that conned so high to you?




I killed everything I thought I could...and even some things I thought would kill me. Only once did I get in serious trouble but I had my pets out and called them in to bail me out. CH is difficult to give up for this reason alone.....but they sux in PvP.


Anyways, when I started, I didn't know what creatures to fight cuz I spend so lil time there. So, I just picked some missions. A mature hanadak rock smasher and a bug thingy....I think it was a bark mite harrower....but I forgot. Anyways, the bug put a nasty disease on me that took forever to cure....and there were no other TKs around to train me in meditate and no docs - so it hurt.


Because I'm a MCH, I'm able to group with my pets and pull missions that pay 17k credits each....try to find some solo groups to help you get the big money missions. With missions this high, you basically cover your costs (buff and travel) in 1.5 missions so it's well worth the effort to get these. I'm pretty sure there are others that pay more...but I didn't see them.


On the way to and from the missions I basically fought everthing I came across, except archane's. I know these spiders are very tough and with a disease already on me, poison would suck. But everything else was on. I look for naturally spawning lairs mostly. You can usually tell these cuz they have more than 2 creatures roming around them....but not always....just mostly. A lot of times these lairs have an unbelievable amount of creatures inside just waiting to be slaughtered.


Specifically, I founght a lot of the following (in all varieties - male, female, crazed, frenzied, bloodseeker, etc): bolle bols, bordok, boar wolf, blurg, lantern birds, gurreck, hanadak, and one of my favorite swill prongs. I would also fight every single maurader I came across. These are solitary NPCs that look very large and have a high amount of HAM. I'd just dizzy/KD then chew away on them and collect the 4,600 xp.


I don't remember ever getting 5k xp for any of these. But I would have multiple enemies all chomping on me at the same time....so crowd control is somewhat handy. Really with my buffs, it was only a problem once when they just kept spawning and attacking me. I called in the pets, and they almost got incapped also. It was total insanity....but fun as hell.


I'm really amazed at how quickly the xp was rolling in and I leveled 2 boxes in just 2 hours. I still had an hour and a half remaning on my buffs but I convinced one of my friends to try the game on the 14 day trial and wanted to show him around a lil....so I left.


One important point, take a lot of brandy and open your character sheet often. I think there is a bug with the food and drinks. The effects of the brandy would wear off long before I could drink more. HOwever, constantly opening and closing my character sheet made it seem like this time was shortened.....but I didn't time it....so I could be wrong.


Anyways, I'm heading back there ASAP and I should easily be a 4/1/4/3 TK by the end of the day....prolly just about 4 hours of hunting or less. Welp, good luck and may the force be with you.
