 ''' Weapon and Combat Experience'''
-The exact nature of combat oriented experience calculations in SWG are unknown at the moment however it appeared to be based upon some calculation taking into account set mob experience values for a given creature/npc along with its challenge level vs the player's challenge level with their currently equipped weapon or skill set.  Challenge levels of players are calculated based upon the personal difficulty modifier within each skill box of a combat profession. Each player starts off with a challenge level of 5.  For every 100 units of personal difficulty a player adds by training in a skill, one challenge level is gained.  In order for the player to qualify for this challenge level, they must equip a weapon that is linked to the type of experience/profession to which they wish to attack the creature with.  A pistoleer would there for require a pistol weapon to be equipped in order to receive the challenge modifiers linked to pistol skills. A teras kasi for example would require bare handed fighting or using a vibro knuckler.  A player's challenge level cannot go above CL 25 so in essence a combined total of 2500 from modifiers is the maximum possible for an individual player. There is an exception however and this is the Jedi. Jedi characters have a maximum personal difficulty level of 40.

-Grouping has an interesting effect on this calculation. Groups have a difficulty modifier which takes into account the entirety of the challenge levels of the group and takes the group average cl.  So a group of 25 elite combat profession masters would have a combined total of CL 250. A group of 10 cl 10 players and 10 cl 25 players would have an average of CL 175. A second benefit from grouping is a group experience bonus multiplier is added to all weapon experience calculations.
 Another factor in this is the percentage sharing of experience based on the amount of damage done.  An individual shares in the experience of the creature or npc based upon how much damage they have done to its total ham before the creature died, much like in determining looting rights. The percentage of damage done to the creature is reflected in the percentage of the experienced received.  This allows for grouped and ungrouped players to share experience from the same targets.

 Group exp bonus multiplier = Multiplier for being in a group. Group bonus appears to be 20% flat bonus  for grouping (either a pet or another player). Additional bonus is applied after the group size becomes 10 or more. Each person beyond 9 members in the group adds an additional 1% bonus to the total up to a maximum of 30% bonus for a group of 20.
