I personally did it with rancor missions, back in the day. Nowadays i would do quenker or Mok/Janta missions on dant.

I ground from 1443 swordsman to master in two days of very casual playing just by going to the Geonosian cave. I'm a master doctor too, and I had myself buffed in good armor that happened to also have stun defense in case they pulled out one of their stun guns. You get ridiculous xp, credits, and items there. Just join the group that's already there or make your own that consists of people in the merc room and people in the geonosian room towards the entrance of the cave, just past the second keycode door. Be sure to loot them too, just not too fast unless everyone else is. At least that's my advice.

I've done all of the above at one time or another. Squill are nice . . . if the cave is not packed with players. Only takes a few to dramatically reduce the xp you get there. Worth checking out, though.

Quenkers? The old standby - everyone does these. They don't deathblow and are relatively easy to take down. Great for lower level grinding.

I much prefer rancors though. I found this one spot on dathomir where, down in a pit, a singing mountain clan rancor tamer was located along with a couple rancors. Killed them. Then looked around and, right outside of the pit were a bunch of red dots. I walked up and there were at least 3 rancor lairs within 100m of each other. I just ran to the first lair, attacked the rancors and left the lair standing. Got over 5K xp per rancor and there were at least 6-7 at the lair. Didn't attack the lair and just ran off to the next lair. Did same thing. Ran off to next lair. Did same thing. Ran off to first lair . . . you get the picture. I didn't care about the lairs, so I just left em. But I finished off master swords very very quickly at this place. With spin attack, the go down pretty quickly.

Just look around a little. Maybe pick up two rancor missions the same direction and similar distance from science op. With luck, there'll be a third lair around there. If not, this would work fine with 2 lairs too as they spawn pretty quickly.

Hi rebtka!

I got Master TKA quite a long time ago, so I'm sure things are not exactly like they were back then. I can tell you that when I was working on TKA I just killed everything I came across. Well, everything that didn't look like it would kill me in two and a half seconds. I think Tatooine is a good planet to get up to Novice TKA on. The creatures there are a bit harder than on Corellia or Naboo, but not quite as tough as planets such as Endor or Dantooine. When I was working on TKA, I also used a pet to tank for me while I killed tougher creatures that may otherwise have killed me. I even advanced up the Creature Handler profession a bit before I had to start dropping it to make room for the combat skills. It was a fun profession to play around with for a while, and also took some of the focus away from the TK grind. Nice to have something different to think about every now and again. I got bored of Creature Handler though, I don't think it's that great a profession right now. Anyway, I should also mention that having a set of Doctor buffs will help you greatly as you hunt and level to TKA. So will having a good set of armor, but that's more expensive (i.e. got 250k credits?). Also, I found it helpful to equip a Vibroknuckler despite the fact that I didn't have the certification for it. The increased speed makes it much more fun at the low Brawler levels, as well as helping you kill stuff a little faster. Another suggestion would be to get in a good hunting group. There are high-end players who probably wouldn't mind taking you on a hunt and helping you level up through the skillboxes. Though I wouldn't suggest badgering people in front of the starport or anything... that gets pretty annoying. Once you get a few skills, you can go to Dantooine and get Savage Quenker missions, they pay about 6800 and 6900 credits each and they aren't too tough to complete, provided you have buffs. The best piece of advice I can offer, I think, is to just enjoy the game. I know you want to get powerful as quickly as possible, and you just can't wait for that Teras Kasi Master title, but just try and concentrate on playing the game more than on the next skillbox you can gain. That's what I did, and it helped keep me sane through the grind. Oh, Talus might be a good place to hunt as well, I just remembered spending some time there hunting Tortons and whatnot. Careful they don't stomp you into the ground They did it to me a couple of times... I got TKM before Doctor buffs were very big so I usually went ubuffed. /shudder;

Anyway, I hope you've found some of this information helpful. Good luck and have fun with the game. May the force be with you!
