Step 8 - Getting XP & CXP

Alright let's talk XP.  Plenty of ways to get more than your fill if you want to power-level or just level faster.

  1. XP boosts: final class missions will drop you some XP boosts, use them.  They're +25%XP on everything and you can buy them on GTN or Cartel Market.  I always run with one when leveling a toon.  For Flashpoints, PVP and other non-story play there are boosts which are on sale on GTN for peanuts.  If you plan to spend your time doing the Op Kuat Drives on "repeat" just get a "Major Flashpoint XP Boost" of GTN as an example, same with PVP.  Smoother on creds :)
  2. If you have creds buy into the Legacy Character Perks (press Y), you'll see there are 6 rows of items you can buy, I like to get the Class Mission ones, all 5.  Each gives you +6% XP for class missions, so get the 5 you get +30%,
  3. Join a +10% XP guild,   This was reviewed before but work it.
  4. Do  planetary heroics, good XP & you get blue-grade crates with 2x gear items so you don't have to pay to get "at level-ish" gear"
  5. Do Dailies for PVP & Flashpoints, the more XP the merrier in my book.  And Flashpoints have cool drops if you're lucky.  Same for Weeklies (even more XP!)
  6. Kill mobs.  Sometimes worth it sometimes less, but if you need a few XP points to push you over to the next level, deliver death to mobs.  Champions are good killin'
  7. If you decide to hit Makeb, click on the satellite bolster as you get 250% XP increade on exploration, not too shabby, I get 47K / area 
  8. Double-XP weekends, just do them.  Goodbye sunlight.
  9. 12x XP for subscribers sometimes happens, this is good for class missions only.  When this is on I bring toons super fast to 70.
Also - I level as a DPS then respec to the final class like leveling a Vanguard DPS to respec as a tank, makes things faster if you're in a hurry!

Also - for toons under level 70 since 4.0 there is a thing named "bolster" which means when you go into a Flashpoint (Veteran level) or an operation (say Eternity Vault and you're level 56), the game will "boost" you to a "level 70 equivalent" so you're able to survive and contribute.  Plus it helps while leveling.

If I forgot one, and am sure I did, leave a comment on the 1st page thanks!

Command XP or CXP:

  • As of 5.0 you get to grind more XP!  Yay! (not)
  • 4 tiers for gear so you need to get to CXP tier 4 to get the top tier gear (Tier 4 is really CXP 300)
  • CXP is a way to get raid grade gear through crates which randomly hand this out, among other rewards
  • Recommend you read this in detail.  RNGesus hates us all equally but as of 5.1 new options are added for gear.  5.2x also made things better.
  • Bioware tried to get something easier to get players geared and backfired completely
