My goal is Master Pistoleer, Master Smuggler, and TKA 4-0-0-0. My thinking is that the meditative portion of TKA will help me in my outland persuits with stronger creatures on Talus, Dantooine, and eventually Lok, by helping to heal myself in a camp, to keep from having to run into town. Does this sound insane? I am currently a Novice Pistoleer, and working on unarm 4. I take Pistoleer missions and do them unarmed, or at least each lair I finish unarmed. The xp is slow, but I feel it will be worth it (besides, I need unarmed4 to get novice smuggler! lol) Any thoughts/advice is great!

Also, even though I'm not yet certified, should I buy and use some VK's? Will wearing them still earn me unarmed xp? Thanks

well, i'll tell you this, meditation ONLY stops bleeding and poisons UNTIL you get meditation iv. then it starts to heal wounds. it heals about 15-20 wounds every 5 seconds. TKMs heal about 20-35 wounds every 5 seconds. meditation does NOT help regeneration besides the fact that you are in a sitting position, and you regen faster while sitting down.

If you can get some VKs with 1.6 or lower speed then wear them. YOu still do better cause you hit so much faster.(Which is rediculous)

If all you want the TKA line for is healing wounds, you would probably have a much easier time with Medic skills. I guess you have Unarmed already for Smuggler, which means Meditate IV is only another 20 points. I think you would have to be pretty insane to get a millionor so unarmed xp with basically Novice TKA damage. The same 20 points could get you Novice Medic and First Aid II, a popular choice.

Well, I won't argue with a TKM! I'll take your advice, Malibou. I appreciate the time, seriously. It would be a gruelling fight for the unarm xp indeed!

I actually disagree with the TKM's advice. Having meditate IV is like having novice medic AND novice entertainer AND poison/disease medpacks. Remember that meditade IV heals mind wounds and cures poison/bleeds/disease. Itis much more thanjust novice medic with FA II.

If you want to minimize downtime out in the field, I would suck it up and grind out that meditate line. Key work being <grind>, as already mentioned this will bea huge PITA only doing novice TK damage the whole time.
