YES YOU CAN

I had my Stopwatch running while I cleaned out the lair. It took 8 minutes. that’s 5,078 Unarmed XP in 8 minutes. Let’s call it 10 minutes for easy calculating. What’s the big deal? I never had to heal 1x during that. I never had to town. I was never incapacitated or slain. I used a harvest macro to harvest every corpse very quickly after kill, and also accumulated 1,888 Scout XP in those 8 minutes.

“But Scot, I can go to tatooine and join a tusken party and get 1.8k swg credits for hitting/shooting a Tusken Warlord 3 times!!1111!11!”

YES YOU CAN! And the odds are *very* good that you’ll end up dead. You’ll spend half an hour in cantina and medical center, fifteen minutes running back to your body, and in that period of time, I’ve racked up 15,000-20,000 Unarmed XP and 5,000-6,000 Scout XP killing Diseased Vrelts in the swamp.

Moral of the Story: Using a stopwatch over a 10 minute period of time lets you calculate and find your optimal efficiency. If you’re working on reaching that next skill (and aren’t we all) this is important. Sometimes it’s fun to group and go hunt those tuskans. *Sometimes* you just want to powerlevel by yourself, and that’s where you’ll really get the XP. Killing small animals around a nest is higly transactional. It’s like McDonalds. They got their billions of dollars 99 cents at a time, very very quickly. The key here isn’t just the XP, it’s TOTAL LACK OF DOWNTIME. Every second you are healing, camping, towning, incapped, or retrieving corpse(star war galaxies credits), you are NOT GETTING XP. YES It’s fun to hunt the really big things, there is a sense of accomplishment when you kill one. But you’ll get 2x the XP killing 25 SMALL things in HALF THE TIME.

That’s it folks. Check the math, experiment on your own. The results may surprise you.You can buy swg credits.
