Ok...if you server has moved to phase 3...which means Restuss is leveled and it a big pvp battleground...the best way in the game to get xp right now is to run missions in restuss...but only if your side has fairly good control of the city.

Quest: Destroy an opposing faction Antenna in Restuss
Reward: 93k xp, 50 faction points (rebel/imperial), 4 restuss commendations

Since Restuss is a pvp battlefield...there is risk in doing this mission...but it's fairly safe if your side is in control. Take the mission and go find an antenna somewhere in the city (rebel antennas are on the rebel side, imperial are on the imperial side)...blow it up...return to base...collect the reward.

To get the quest:
Imperial - Go to the Northeast bunker at the base...go to the very bottom of the base...talk to Captain Okto.

Rebel - Go to the middle bunker on the south side...go to the first level below ground...talk to Captain Voldez.

Now...the first time you take it...it'll be the antenna quest...after you complete that one though the quest giver will give you a different quest to go kill a high level NPC in the city...instead of choosing "Not a problem..." choose "Doesn't sound like something I'm suited for..." then proceed to take the antenna quest by choosing "I'm all over it". You'll have to skip the kill the npc quest each time in order to get the new antenna quest. (note...phrases may be a bit different for each side...I got these from the imperial side)

since this involves becoming pvp enabled to do the quest...I don't think they'll be removing this quest unless pvp really dies down at Restuss...and even then I think they'll only lower the xp...(if that)

This works quite well for all levels as even a new character can do the quest as long as you have some help. If quite a few people are working on the same antenna the time spent on this quest can be as little as like 3-5 minutes or so...

and note: you cannot exploit this quest as far as I know...the person who takes the quest actually has to do some damage to the antenna in order to get credit...so no grouping with someone higher level while they destroy the antenna...trust me...I have two accounts and tried it...


one thing I've found helpful sometimes is if the battlefield is not completely under your faction's control...if you manage to kill the antenna...sometimes it's easier to just go get killed and clone back to the base...saves you from losing speeders on your way back. I've lost quite a few around restuss...some people resort to hiding as spies and jedi to wait for unsuspecting people returning to base...just to take out their speeder...and maybe get a cheap kill...

Yep, common knowledge, but for those who don't know about Restuss quests this is helpful.

figured it was common knowledge to a lot of people, but not all...and it hadn't been posted...just like the space mining quest hadn't been posted for a while after it was discovered...figured I might as well add it...

Yep, which is why I said it was helpful to those who didn't know, hehe.

Has this quest only been placed on some servers?

Pretty sure it's on all servers.

it's only on servers that have seen Restuss blow up and convert to a pvp battlefield (which is phase 3...which will supposedly remain permanent)...if your server is still in phase 1 you will not be able to get this quest yet...

damnit...someone found a way to prevent the antennas from spawning...so people wouldn't be able to use this mission to level up...

at first I thought it was a dev nerf without a server reset...but people are owning up to sabotaging the antennas...

so as of right now you'll be lucky if your server doesn't have it's antennas bugged...

How are they doing?

not exactly sure how they were doing it but it involves either some exploit using mines...or some command that pops up on the radial menu for the antenna...those were the two explanations given on the forums...

Strange... On my server, they continue to pop endless, except that the city is 24/24 in the hands of the Rebels. So imperial commendations are A LOT harder to obtain.

dont you mean 24/7? lol, rebs are the same way on my server

Yes 24/7

It's because in french, we say 24/24 ^^
My mistake... :p


To be honnest, if I knew some servers where Imp control the city, I would transfer a toon from there with medals bacause they are almost impossible to obtain on my server.

I hear imperials have control of Test Center! If anyone wants to know, it took me exactly 268 Antenna runs to go from level 1 to 90 on Starsider.

It's the most hilarious thing I've ever seen in the game. Flocks of rebel noobs and commendation grinders going back and forth. Meanwhile, the imps terrorize the trail both ways trying to blow up speeders and kill noobs.

ROFL,

I did the same with my entertainer. Sunday, 7pm, he still was level 1.

I respeced then to spy and started to do some PvA (player versus antenna ^^), and monday 7pm, he was 90.

Its the funniest thing I did in game, even if I'm not very proud
