Increase solo (non-grouped) XP gain from healing yourself in combat

Dagis · Jun 19, 2024

To provide more options for the acquiring of medical XP to better improve the experience for newer players.

Medical XP is challenging and frustrating experience to gain for new players, due to no quests provide medical XP and to earn medical XP solo, you still need to kill the creature / npc your fighting which makes the XP gain slow and unrewarding.

This suggestion is an idea to improve the levelling experience for newer players wishing to learn Medic / Doc & CM based skills.

I think this is a great idea for making leveling medic classes to be more friendly towards varied playstyles as some people prefer leveling by questing and adventuring over spins.

I think this is a good idea. I'm a big proponent of the PV for Combat Medic XP in another thread.

I, too, like adventuring and soloing, so it is difficult to grind the Medic XP without a group.

I'd love to see medic missions or quests, but until that can happen, I'd say this is probably the best solution.

I agree with Savacc, and the idea to provide more varied playstyle is a plus.

Agreed, I've been playing on Restoration for 3 days now and I've yet to find an active spin group anywhere. I'm nearly halfway finished with pistoleer but I can't even start Smuggler or Combat Medic per the boxes I want to spec in are all in Medic. Until I find a spin group I'm going to be stuck unlike any other SWG server I've ever played on, and that frankly sucks.

I find it quite frustrating even now the only way to level up any medic is to be ch and heal your pet (but this is very slow) or do spin groups.

I did try and get Ornj to adjust this, I will try again although it is no longer my area.

On a side note if you’re looking for spin groups check on discord in galaxy chat, game chat and groups.

People usually are running them out of tox.

Normally always a spin group out of tox.

But medic xp is so very slow as its always splt with damage unless you are a dedicated healer for someone else.

I still think the answer is an item to get med xp from missions like legacy and nyms etc..

This has been suggested previously but the development team didn’t feel it was the correct solution!

Unfortunately, when I'm online, Tox is a ghost town. People keep suggesting it, but people never take into account that not everyone plays during U.S. Prime Time.

I agree that gaining medical xp is far slower than most XP you get out in the field so to speak so would benefit from being looked at. That said without spinning dual boxing is pretty effective way of getting medical xp.

It's not a bad idea if people are struggling to level healers.

Chewiejdh · Mar 19, 2025

It's a weird thing. I was lucky to get in a group of 8 needing a healer out of ToX. I went from Novice Medic to MDoc/MCM/MMedic in under a couple of hours.

However, I have also tried getting spin groups on other characters, and it takes days to find one (at the times I play).

For those that prefer a more solo style of play, it would be nice to be able to level without being "forced" to spin. I only say "forced" due to the boxes needing a lot of XP and it is slow going as a solo.
