There are essentially two ways
that can be taken here: The way where you have a lot of money because
you've been playing a while, and the way where you're still pretty new,
poor, and still unsure of what to do.
For wealthy players the general
guidelines seems to be the following:
Buy some speed sliced
Vibroknucklers, while lowering your
damage, they'll increase your attack speed by a sizeable amount. Using
Berserk more than makes up for this.
Buy some high kinetic resistant
ubese armor. This will take a
beating, so it's a much cheaper alternative to composite, since
creatures only do kinetic damage. Ubese works very well because of low
HAM cost and lower price. High Ubese is 70% compared to the High
Composite 80%. High Composite NEEDS to be sliced to wear it, as well as
buffs. HAM cost is high as well, so stick to the Ubese.
Get some Doctor buffs,
and if you can manage it Entertainer buffs. If not, food and spice helps
out a great deal. Especially Muon Gold, and Vasarian Brandy since they
give bonuses to all 3 of your mind stats. Mind foods such as Angerian
Fishak which adds +550 mind and Muon Gold, which can be made by
Smugglers with Spices IV adds +500 Mind, Focus, and Willpower. WARNING:
For those that don't know, spices have a negative effect when the
positive effects are over. If the negative effect occurs while your
fighting you may be placed in a dangerous situation with a halfed mind
pool.
Go out and fight anything that
doesnt seeem to take too long to kill.
Hitting Lairs on Adventure planets, as well as Lesser Plains Bols (Dantooine)
seem to be popular.
Go to a newbie spawn spot: such as Mummers, Swoops, and other types of
Thugs. Some spots include: Moenia: Infront of the Cantina, behind the
starport, near the bank, near the Medical Center. Mos Espa: Series of
houses where swoops spawn. Bestine: By the Series of houses near the
Cantina. Kor Vella: Back in a series of houses in a block shape. Also
towns listed in the main post.
For genuinely new players, or people who
enjoy taking their time to level up:
Go to the newbie spawn areas
outside the starting towns, my
primary experience on starter planets is Naboo, so I'd reccomend Kaadara,
Keren, and Moenia as good places to start. Theed also has a good spawn
area, and usually lots of people in the Medcenter and Cantina, however,
its also quite a trek to leave town, so you might want to give it a try
if the long walks dont bother you.
You can get the first three boxes worth of experience fairly quickly in
this way. Once you have the third box, you can start taking destroy
missions. I reccomend Narglatch Youngling Lairs. Also, you can continue
to roam around the wilderness and see what you're capable of killing.
When I did this, I used UnarmedStun1 as pretty much my only attack, and
it seemed to work fairly well for me. Once I got UnarmedBlind1 I lead
with that attack (and used it until it stuck) and then wail on it with
Stun until it died. Natural Lairs are a great place to find experience,
especially Ikopi/Spider/Shauput natural lairs (They wont be named for
the creature if they're "natural"). Ikopi are not social and this will
enable you to kill up to 20 or so that spawn. I've seen spider lairs
spawn more like 40 before, and thats a goldmine of xp.
If you're going for Teras Kasi Artist: I took missions exclusively after
I recieved Unarmed IV. Krevol missions specifically, they're social and
swarm, perfect opportunity to use UnarmedSpinAttack1 to generate large
amounts of experience. Lairs as above still work fairly well, although
if the creature considers weaker than you, you'll probably lose out on
some of the xp you gained earlier.
Here is a great AFK Macro for the spawn
spots.
I have found that if you change your camara
view to look down on yourself, you almost never target out of the spawn
area, this is helpful if you have guards just outside of town or
creatures just out of range.
Put your speed-sliced VK in slot F1
Create 2 macros:
UnattendedAttack (F1)
/ui action targetSelf;
/ui action cycleTargetOutward;
/attack;
/pause 10; (however long it takes you to kill the mob)
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
UnattendedAttackParent (F2)
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/loot
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
What the Macro does:
The macro switches between targets and attacks them. The second macro
lets you loot the mob because normally by looting a mob it respawns it.
Here is an explanation of this macro if you are having trouble:
The UnattendedAttackParent macro is the outer loop. It calls the attack
macro, waits 20 seconds (which should be enough time for you to kill the
mob), harvests and calls itself again. The UnattendedMacro does the
actual attacking. If you are having trouble getting the attack to work,
just try hitting F7 instead of F8. You can also try typing each command
manually one at a time to see what it does.
There are 2 important things to remember with the macros: 1. the slot
numbers begin counting at zero (for example toolbarSlot00 corresponds to
F1) and 2. macros are case sensitive, so if you type it wrong it won't
work.
/ui action targetSelf; /ui action cycleTarget; These commands target
you, then target the closest enemy.
/attack; This commands will cause you to attack the selected mob with
the CDEF weapon.
/pause 10;/ui action toolbarSlot05; This command tells the computer to
wait 3 seconds (to give you a chance to hit the mob)
Here's what should happen.
1. You start the macro.
2. The macro targets the closest mob.
3. You attack the mob.
4. The mob charges at you.
5. Since you are already in attack mode, you finish off the mob with
your VK.
6. The macro loots the corpse and begins again at #2.
Some other notes on this macro:
1. This macro is only intended to be used against the easiest newbie
mobs (like Minor Worts and Lesser Womp Rats outside Mos Entha, Mos
Eisley and Mos Espa on Tatooine as well as thug spawn spots in places
listed above). These mobs are not social, and will not aggro you, making
it fairly easy for the macro to work.
2. If you plan on leaving your PC totally unattended, it would be a good
idea to have some fairly decent kinetic armor. Since you won't be using
any specials, the armor will help protect you from most of the damage.
3. Some people recommend adding a /follow into the macro. This macro can
work fine without this command. Additionally, you may find that your
toon has run off to god knows where by the time you get back.
4. Use the /dump command to end the macro.
5. If you have problems with all the mobs running out of range, try
adding a separate loop macro for your pet to attack your current target
every 5 minutes or so. Create 2 macros:
MobCleanup (put in F9)
/ui action targetSelf;
/ui action cycleTargetOutward;
/tellpet attack;
MobCleanupParent (put in F10)
/ui action toolbarSlot10;
/pause 300;
/ui action targetSelf;
/tellpet follow;
/pause 5;
/ui action toolbarSlot11;
Since your toon is standing on top of the mob spawn, by having your pet
kill any mobs out of range, you will cause them to respawn within range.
