after i get Novice tka

yes, a lot!!

Let me put it this way, at UA 4 I was able to solo peko-peko with a lot of time/armor and heals. At novice TKA I was able to solo a famba with a lot of time/armor and heals. So yes, it's a hell of a lot easier to get xp.

Once i made it to novice tka, i went to dantooin and spend all my times doing pikets mission. They are cake .. from novice tka to master, i've spent 3 days.

I just got TKA novice last night, and was blown away by the difference. I had read other posts from people who were excited about getting TKA novice, but until you experience it yourself, you'll never fully know. I've played a few other elite professions (although never mastered any), and obtaining TKA novice is the largest jump in combat ability that I've seen. Here's my example:

(I'm a wookie with CH 2-1-1-1 and had a lvl 22 pet helping me. I was also using Vibroknuckles, but don't remember the stats. I spent the last half of the novice grind hunting Cu Pa's on Tatooine)

Before TKA Novice
Regular hit: 87
Specials (unarmed hit, unarmed stun, etc): 170
Berzerk: 200

After TKA Novice
(*Note* I had a lot of combat xp left from my BH days, so I also got intermediate precision striking at the same time as novice TKA. This gives you +5 to melee and ranged defense, and +20 unarmed accuracy, so it shouldn't have an effect on my damage numbers)
Regular hit: 300
Specials: 500
UnarmedHit2 (which you get at TKA novice): 1000
Berzerk: Forgot to test last night

The largest boost is the +70 you get in unarmed damage. I you're using Vibroknuckles for the grind to novice, you'll see an even larger increase because you will get the VK certification also. These days I spend most of my time on Tatooine, and I'm able to kill Womp Rats with a singleUnarmedHit2. The best part is that I haven't seen a significant decrease in XP from the same mobs, either. So if you're getting down about the grind to novice, stick with it. It is definitely worth it.

xp is much better at novice tka to earn, the only problem i have seen is that the mission difficulties never seem hard enough

If you're looking to grind out the xp got to dantooine and get in a hunting group. I was able to grind out 65k xp last night in 2 hunts with about 12 missions each. You can get on average about 3-4k xp per lair. Just make sure you are in a group that is doing mostly creature missions. Npc's don't give much xp, only cash and loot. Good hunting to you.

Hell yeah! Novice TKA is tha **edit** once u get it! Hell...u get a +70 dmg mod lol...

Ya while I holo grind i refuse to drop novice tka. For ham - dmg ratio I think its probably the best damage per second novice class there is.

I just got Novice Tka last night and it is awesome. I was hitting for anout 145 dmg with my VK before. Now I'm doing on avg 500 and sometimes as high as 800-900. I grinded 65k xp last nigght in just 1 hunting group. This is the shiznit.

hate to jump in, but i personally think caveman missions on dant are where its at. maybe not until you get kd and a couple levels up in power, but eventually you can take out cavemen one on one, as your buddies beat up on therest. thats 5kxp for a caveman, and if youre good enough you may be able to take out 2 before theyre all dead. thats 5-10k per mission. since they dont respawn, if everyone gets the same direction theyre pretty quick too. you dont get the 40k cash apiece you used to tho...

gurk missions are the shizzle, once you get high enough. Each one gives you 4k freakin xp, and they're pretty easy (of course i use 80% composite). I could solo a whole "wave" of them, giving somewhere around 10-15k xp in a couple minutes (then sitting there for another 6 minutes regenerating)

I've moved on, though. I'm trying to get a good pair of VKs, so i'm soloing large nym bases (i'm at 2.1.2.2 now, the only think i can't solo on lok is a kimo--those **edit**ers) they give insane amounts of money, considering all you have to do is dizzy knockdown 2 guys (half the time you have an ally, if you're rebel), plus each mission gives about 10k xp, and NPCs drop money too)

xp isn't too great, but i don't care much at this point. I'm just trying to get rich quick (occasionally I pick up a mynock mission)
