Still here...need combat exp tips

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.starwarsgalaxies (More info?)

Hey everyone. If you recall, i was the newbie who had problems logging
onto the game in the beginning. Well Im happy to say I am having fun,
just Mastering Scout and Marskman. Can't wait to start bounty hunter!

My question is, does anyone have any tips on getting combat exp? On
weekends my guild goes on big game hunts, but during the week Im
getting about 30 pts a target during simple missions. Anyone have any
suggested targets I should be aiming for? Any tips at all? Thanks for
help!

Technically, you receive combat XPs = weapon XPs / 10 as you go. When
you finished all weapons in marksman, you should have enough combat XPs
to close ranged support boxes and even some left over (if I remember
correctly). So you just need to kill more stuff.

There is no good alternative to grouping in terms of good XPs. But...
Not all critters were created equal, and you'll find out that some of
those that you can solo give better XPs than others.

I cannot tell you which are better. It depends on planet, your level,
etc.
Besides, I'm going TKA now and unarmed is a blast - I managed to go
through brawler unarmed solo in no time.

Find good food, armor, buffs and you'll be able to solo much tougher
creatures and rip better XPs that way. That will cost you credits, of
course. Get weapons sliced, add powerups.

Go to the Emperor's retreat and Fort Tusken, Geo Lab, Weapons Facility, and
some of the other places that haven't been nerfed.
Oh, yeah, KILL A LOT OF IMP NPCS!

Trying to get the 40k combat xp to make the jump from Master Marksman to
Novice Bounty Hunter was what took me the longest (besides the
Investigation line) in the game so far One thing to remember is that
40,000 combat XP is roughly 400,000 weapon XP. It will take you awhile
to get. What I did was spend a ton of time out in the Tat wilderness
north of, and in between Mos Entha and Mos Taike. I hunted banthas for
what seemed like forever. =)

Some tips to help:
1) You get a bonus to XP if you are in a group. The simplest thing to
do is use a droid or pet, group with them, then leave them somewhere
'safe', such as by the mission terminal.

2) Some people recommended using grenades, as they seem to give a bonus
to the combat XP. I can't comment on that, as I never tried - might be
worth looking at though.

3) Use the time you are getting the combat XP to get your weapon XP up
also. Don't stick to just your pistol or carbine (don't use your rifle,
there is no BH rifle tree). Once you max out the XP of one, switch to
the other. When you max out both before getting Novice BH, determine
which you like better and pick up Novice in that tree (Pistoleer or
Carbineer). The speed, accuracy and specials you get with that box will
help you to kill stuff faster and get the XP quicker. When you finally
get Novice BH, you will be able to train a couple boxes of weapons at
the same time.

There isn't really a good 'do this and get all the combat XP you want!'
method, it is just kill more stuff. One thing I did notice over the
last couple of weeks is that Stories are worth 220-350 combat XP each

Good luck.

look at the creature your are killing and see what the resist are and then
pick a weapon the will work the best.

use special shots spamming burst shot 1 on a squill I can pickup between
1000-1600 carbine xp without spamming that shot I am down to 500-800 this
will only work if you are buffed or have a medic who wants loads of healing

If you have any combat ability, go to Rori to the Torton cave. Excellent
XP to be had there. Otherwise, go to Naboo and join a group for a Fambaa
hunt. A nice group will let you kill the lair after the mobs are gone and
you will get your XP in no time. Are you on Tempest by any chance?

Hey there. Im on Radiant, sorry. Its hard to find a group though. Im
with a guild, but their only on together during the weekends. I'd love
to level up to BH before then, but Im making like 50pts a beast, with
another 15000 more to go, its crazy. I find if I tackle anything more
difficult, i get mauled. I'll check out Rori, but I have a feeling
i'll be slaughtered. Thanks guys

Since everyone is suggesting grouping to raise combat xp I have an
observation. SWG without a doubt has the worst grouping Ive ever seen,
Not talking about the game its the players. No tactics, no
co-ordination just blow the hell outa anything that moves people go
down like a cheap hookers. WTF is this? I know they can play solo so
why do they go apeshit in groups? Staying solo till I can find someone
with a live brain cell...Can get faster xp on my own.

on corellia for example grondas and sharns and imps and nyax give great xp
but you gotta be doc and mind buffed and have both brandy and canape flowin
untill you master better and better shots...mindshot 2 and headshot 3 are
your friend ..but only with the aforementioned mind buffs and food..

Get into pickup hunting groups. I am on Ahazi and working out of Anchorhead
on Tatooine yesterday I was getting 1k/100 pistol/combat ep per Mountain
Squill plus 50+ units of carnivore meat.

Are you in a guild? I'll admit that pick-up groups are horrible at best. I
have found that in a good guild, where people communicate in-game a lot,
there is a lot of coordination and strategy. But you really need group
leaders that are not soft bellied. If someone taps a lair in the middle of
a mob spawn they are reprimanded. Twice and they are out of the hunt.
Loot grabbers get the same treatment. As long as people are getting to
know each other and communicating this is usually not a problem. We have
had our bad seeds, but they leave on their own. They always do.

I racked up a lot of xp last night soloing the Nargalatch cave outside
Moenia. I made it 3/4 of the way through before i died..because of my
damn mind!

Get buffed up and go as far as you can. I was hitting 3k Unarmed xp
and 300 or so combat xp per nargalatch.

If you die, get buffed up and go again.

I think i filled up 3/4 of Expert Power Technique box doing
this...plus a good amount of my 2nd combat box.
