On Talus, directly south of Nashal at 4196 1113, there is a place called "Creature Village". There are three houses there that have patios on them. Get on the patio and you can shoot all the (greater) Sludge Panthers you want from the safety of the patio. The panthers are only able to get on the patio from the ramp. So, you'll need to pull them so that they come at you from a side without the ramp on it. This will be very clear when you get to the village. If a panther actually makes it onto the patio, simply walk inside the house to break line of sight or run to the another patio and it will leave. You can gain many different skills with this trick, such as weapon exp, combat exp, trapping exp, scout exp, and many others. This is the best "safe spot" I have found in the game so far, really works like a charm
