Maximise your experience gain
It is possible to obtain a "Flush with Sucess" buff from an Entertainer. This buff grants you up to a 15% increase in all Experience and Galactic Civil War Point gain. Ask an Entertainer for an "XP Buff", then watch or listen to them until the buff is at maximum duration. Dont forget to tip!!!
Quests
Quest Experience is relatively new in SWG, previously players would repeat missions from mission terminals to gain experience, often in large groups of players. Should you wish to gain experience via questing, the following guides will assist you.
While Questing you also gain experience by killing the NPC's (Non Player Characters) and Creatures in the quest locations.

Mission Terminals and Dynamic Spawn (Grinding)
The other option available to players wishing to gain experience is to kill MObs (Moblie Objects, the term for all NPC's and creatures). MObs with a high combat level yield more experience when killed.
Some MObs have ranged attacks as well as melee attacks, and can be considerably more difficult to kill, also some MObs are "social", which means that nearby MObs of the same type will assist them in combat. If you are looking for more information on the types of MObs out there in the galaxy, take a look at SWGCreatures.
All MObs have a "consider" colour. Blue, white, yellow or red "con" MObs will give you good XP. Purple MObs present a real challenge.
Your easiest XP gain will come from normal MObs, rather than any Elite or Boss MObs, signified by white or gold brackets around their health bar as these are considerably stronger.
Normal MObs have a standard health and action bar.
Elite MObs are signified by silver brackets around their health bar.
Boss MObs are signified by gold brackets around their health bar.
You will experience increased chance of 96% damage reduction (Glancing Blow) when attacking MObs significantly above your combat level, and you will only receive 1 XP for a MOb 19 levels lower than you.
In summary, optimal XP gain comes from MObs that:
- Are not "elite" or "boss".
- Are within 10 combat levels of your combat level.
You can gain XP faster in a group of players that are the same combat level as you. See the section on Grouping below.
Dynamic Spawn
Have a look at the "Star Wars Galaxies - A Hunters Maps". These maps show what combat level of MObs spawn in which areas of each planet.
Note : The Hunters Maps are out of date, for any areas that are labelled as having MObs up to cl80, MObs in this area will be up to cl90 or cl92.
As the spawn of MObs in these areas are constantly changing, they are known as dynamic spawns.
As of Publish 6.8, level ranges for dynamic spawns have been altered.
- Tatooine 1-30.
- Naboo, Corelia 20-40
- Rori, Talus 40-60
- Dantooine, Lok 50-70
- Yavin, Endor 70-90
- Dathomir 80-90
Mission Terminals
Mission Terminal are found all over the galaxy, you can take two destroy missions at a time. Destroy missions will either be creatures or NPCs. Creature destroy missions have more MObs per mission than NPC missions.
On completeing a destroy mission, all combat classes receive a "Compnor Bonus" experience reward that is 10% of the experience needed to reach the next level up, this works until you hit combat level 70, from combat 70 to 79 this bonus is reduced to 6.66% and from level 80 to 90 the bonus is reduced to 5%. This reward may be earned 10 times per day. The day resets at 12pm PDT.
Credit rewards for missions may be earned for full payout 15 times per day. The day resets at 12pm PDT. After that, credit rewards are paid out based on a diminishing returns scale.
Experience and credit rewards for missions scale payouts based on player level compared to mission level. If the group completes a mission that is more than 15 levels above or 15 levels below your own combat level then you will receive half or less of the "Compnor Experience Bonus" and credit payout.
The following table shows information that you may find useful when levelling up, incuding how much XP you need to level up, what the Quest XP cap is at each level, what Compnor bonus you will get per level, how much XP you get at each level for a MOb that is the same CL as you and how many same CL MObs you would have to kill to level up by only killing MObs.
