(note: as is the nature of MMORPGs (Massively multi-player online role-playing games) to change over periods of time (sometimes short, sometimes long) certain aspects of this guide may become out of date and thus may need to be updated or removed all-together (in the case of a patch that wipes out the existing content that was there at the time of writing the guide). We will try to keep this (and other guides that we may or may not write) up to date with the current patches and fixes).)

Combat XP & Quest XP

CL 01-10 - Tansanari Station
CL 10-45 - Legacy Quest
(Which also includes quests from Coronet Murmurs and the entire Corsec line)

From this point, there are various places that offer high lvl characters relative to your own level. Coronet/Tyrena have herds of Meatlump type NPCs that range from mid 20’s to late 30’s (level wise) that will net you upwards of 300+ XP per kill with a pretty fast respawn rate if you keep an auto-loot macro going while you kill.

Macro Name: loot

/loot;
/macro loot;

Mouse over the desired target (from up to 25ms away) and it will loot everything on the body. (Even allows looting while in the middle of combat).

AFK Grind for BH

For Bounty Hunters who reach lvl50, the Razor Wire ability bleeds your targets which can allow for an AFK grind from here on out (which can include factional grinding if necessary).

Macro Name: razorwire

/ui action toolbarSlot 00;
/pause #;
/macro razorwire;

Place the Razor Wire action in the first slot on the bottom row and the razorwire macro anywhere on the top. Change “#” to the amount of refill time for your razorwire action so you can have it reactivate at the appropriate time.

Macro Name: cycletarget

/ui action cycleTargetoutward;
/pause #;
/macro cycletarget;

Change “#” to approx. amount of time it takes to kill single enemy. (This works best when you have a very excellent weapon or somebody healing you.) You can also change the “#” to a shorter time to agro entire group if you have somebody healing you at the same time. (Healing macro) Place this one next to your razorwire macro.

Now, you’ll need an anti-afk macro. Something very simple.

Macro Name: afk

/yell you wanna live forever?!;
/pause 120;
/macro afk;

Place this next to your cycletarget macro and run all three at once. Make sure the Cruelty, Lethality, and Trap Extension branches of Bounty Hunting are maxed out so that you get the best overall effect from Razor Wire.

The razor wire will bleed your targets continuously while you shoot them repeatedly.

One final step:

Options -> Keymap -> target -> Primary attack. Rebind this to the space bar and then weight down the space bar so that you can now truly go afk.

Works well with factional targets and MOBs alike.

AFK Grind for BH reconfigured for other battle classes

Do all of the above, replace razorwire with special attack of choice.

AFK Grind (both of the above) with added auto loot for more credits

Do the above (depending on whether you are BH or not) run the auto-loot. Make sure you have a backpack to drop the non-stackable items in and keep the stackable items in your base inventory to continue to refill.

(For Smugglers with the call Fence ability)
Once inventory is completely full, call fence, sell goods, rinse and repeat.

(For everybody else)
Type /dump to stop all macros cold in their tracks, go to nearest junk dealer, sell all loot, and then start up again.
