2 more things to add.
Dathmir - Rancor Valley, good comp, buffs (musican especially), and a brandy here or there, and you can clear xp very easily. On Sunday before the server got busy and dropped the spawn rate, I was at rancor valley and capped my xp in 90 min. The down side you get no $$ for it. Luckily the dath carni meat on Kett is of med quality so I should be able to sell it for atleast 5cpu, and after all my grinding I have like 70k of it.
Also on dath try Rhoa Kwi's The reg ones give me around 4500 xp and the Guardians/hunters etc give me 5k each. I find that I can cut through them pretty quickly myself.
Well thats just my 2 cents
Good luck grinding everyone

assuming that people don't have novice scout (like me) we get no money at all doing it that way, it works to get xp that way but i would think you can get the same xp about just as quick through missions. thanks though for your input

What about Geo caves - 'Merc room'? Never been there but I hear a lot of Jedis leveling there... Is that place just too much for just TKM? Too slow of spawn?

I'm gonna have to go with rancor valley. I capped twice there in a 3 hour buff. Not too shabby. Plus being a master ranger i made sure to strip the meat from em to sell to make up for not doing missions. Granted the current spawn of meat was crap I can still sell it for 2-3 cpu and i managed to get 92k of it. So that more than made up for the time.

that place is great for xp if you can get there alone.... but even on a small galaxy like mine (flurry) you can always count on geo caves being crowded, so i wouldn't say thats the best option. good loot there though, so if your goal isn't just xp then go for it

hrm rancor valley? sounds like its only on ur server i've never heard of a place on dath where rancors fall from the sky 
, me and a pal camped the geo caves when their was hardly anyone there and i capped in 50minutes , but tell me more about this rancor valley (location/difficulty) because the geo caves are almost always camped and the travel time from the cave to aurilla is killin me.

Isn't Rancor Vallye POI on Dath? What about Nighsitter (Nightsister - sp?) Village a POI too - what about them? I guess you got to be a bad ass to be able to hunt them in solo group...?

I prefer Dath myself, okay big deal. But I wanted to add something about Dance musician Buffs. If this is an exploit I hadn't a clue I thought it was supposed to work this way when I found it by accident and figured I tipped the stripper enough (I wish). Anyway I learned if I get the first buffs (typing /stopwatch /stoplisten) then watch and listen again for another set without typing stops, I can go on my missions and when the first 2 hr entertainer buffs are gone I type /stopwatch /stoplisten and i get new 2 hr entertainer buffs. In other words 4 hr buffs. Sorry for the long sentance, and if this is not common knowledge, keep it in TK Band camp okay?

food/drink definately varies a great deal between servers...
my new primary hunting toon is on tempest... which is a virtual ghost town server. when i find decent 400+ 45min brandy i buy as much as possible. i dried up about a month ago. and now all i can find is 300-ish for 35min or so. i miss my old booze.
as far as grinding exp. especially for melee... spin attack is your friend. find critters that respond well to your damage type. and that you can kill quickly.
i like hurtons myself. ...the stalkers, howlers, huntresses. but i'll do quenkers too.
i like to free range hunt... so i'll head to dant, get my missions.. preferably far outside of town. kill one, and then kill everything along the way to the other one. kill the other... and then roam around until there's nothing worth killing. the whole, run back and forth to the town isn't my idea of fun.
i also enjoy mid-range quick kills on the starter planets. like on naboo or corellia for instance. plains cats or dire cats.. type lairs. that tend to spawn a ton of critters. can be killed quick. and it switches up the scenery. ...sure 1k a kill. but you can kill one quick.
i get bored easy. i almost never utilize a full set of buffs. 1hr or so of straight hunting, and i'm bored to death. Soi like to switch critters, locations, NPC/critters whatever... as much as possible.
Ft tusken.... is an oldie but goldie. if you can find it... not-so-camped it's decent exp. especially if you can outkill the other folks. or if people are being nice and not kill stealing.
squill cave... same as above. geo cave...if the jedi's leave it alone on your server, it's great hunting.
i also like hunting around the kryat graveyard area on tatooine.. dune lizards, and the other upper end lizards, along with a sprinkling of feral banthas and whatnot make for a good change.
i'd say for a straight grind... stick with the repettitive tried and true...of hurtons/quenkers that sort of thing. but there's always options.

I'll vouch for Fort Tusken. Those guys drop a crystal for me every 10 minutes when I'm there alone (and I frequently am).
I play late at night and usually its just me, but sometimes I get it all to myself. They spawn as fast as I can kill them, so once I've cleared it out, I run out the front and back around to the cave entrance to start all over. They don't all give great xp but you could probably cap there in 90 minutes or so if you were alone the entire time. I've been using it to level to master TK and its worked very well for that reason.
Also, the "beetle cave" on tatooine is GREAT for levelling up from unarmed 3/4 and novice TK. the more people in there the more sennexes spawn, i sometimes i'll get 12 guys on me at once from one single spawn point. great xp in there too.

Yeah until you get unarmed hit 2, or you get dizzy/KD, you should stick with berserk. If you're doing master brawler, berserk2 is even better (it lasts a long time and almost never fails). You do good damage with almost no HAM costs (using berserk itself costs a little HAM but your attacks won't).
It's true that if you're a medic who wants to heal you should avoid berserk though, or really if you're trying to do anything at all but a straight attack.
you can heal yourself while berserk
