'''Tools used: Probe Droids'''
 
  
−
Arakyd Probe Droid = your interplanetary search. This is the first step in your search for your mark, because it tells you which planet he is on. This is used by using the Transfer Signature Command. Once this is used the droid will then launch off and the bounty hunter must wait for a period of time (dependant on their droid speed modifier) for the location of the target and for the waypoint to be set.  Interplanetary searches don't come into play until Investigation-2.
 
  
  
−
Seeker Droids = your search after you're on the right planet. After coming to the right planet, This droid will create a waypoint to the target after it has located it using the find ability (uses the droid speed timer which is the same timer as probe Droids for the waypoint return). After the waypoint is returned it can be used again to locate the target to update the current waypoint using the Find option.  Later on, the bounty hunter obtains the Find and track option which will find the target, deliver a waypoint and then update the waypoint by itself for a certain number of times.  This also has a timer in between updates but it is dependant on the tracking speed modifier and not droid speed.

'''Hunting the target'''
+
−
 
+
−
When you first start out at Novice BH, your SpyNet operative gives you a waypoint to your mark. At Investigations 1, you start using Seeker Probe Droids. The mark will still be on your planet of origin, but you won't get a waypoint to him. Instead, the SpyNet operative gives you a "biosignature" sample from the mark, supposedly culled when he uses a public shuttleport or starport terminal. Once you do that, you can then use a Seeker droid (the black spheres used by Darth Maul to locate Queen Amidala in Episode 1, and you can buy Bounty Hunter droids from a droid-engineer vendor) to locate your quarry. At that point, you'll activate a waypoint.
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
At Investigation-1, your mark doesn't move around, so tracking him down is still relatively straightforward.
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
Things get much more interesting at Investigations 2, because two things are now changed: Your marks can now show up on any planet; and they move! Unfortunately, you don't unlock Droid Tracking until Investigation 3.
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
So, the drill for Investigation-2 missions is as follows:
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
1. Get your mission from a mission terminal
+
−
 
+
−
2. Consult with an intermediate-level SpyNet operative (the level-2 guys) and obtain a biosignature
+
−
 
+
−
3. Travel outside the city limits, then call down an Arakyd Probe Droid from an orbiting starship. These are the bulbous-headed droids that crash-landed on Hoth in search of the rebel base at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back.
+
−
 
+
−
4. When it crash-lands near you, move to it, pull up it's radial menu, and select the "Transfer Biological Signature" command. It acknowledges your input with a message that it's commencing an interplanetary search and zooms into space.
+
−
 
+
−
5. After about a minute, you will receive a message, either some sort of malfunction like "Your droid has been destroyed by a comet" or "Your droid has exploded in space," or that it has located your mark on such-and-such planet. You then travel to that planet.
+
−
 
+
−
6. When you've landed on the correct planet, you will notice that you now have a waypoint. It is now your unhappy task to travel to that waypoint in the hope that your mark will be there. Chances are he won't be, because as I said earlier, they now move.
+
−
 
+
−
7. When you reach your abandoned waypoint, send up a Seeker Probe Droid. After a moment, it will activate a new waypoint. Go there, and see if he's still there. He probably won't be, so repeat this step as often as needed until you catch up to him.
+
−
 
+
−
8. Eliminate your mark, and collect your reward and PHAT xp bonus! (phat, it is not!)
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
Investigation 3-4
+
−
 
+
−
Same as above except that the seeker droid will offer continuous updates over a period of tracks.

'''Bounty Hunter Experience'''
+
−
 
+

http://soe.lithium.com/swg/board/message?board.id=bounty_hunter&message.id=250152&query.id=42349#M250152
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
Bounty Hunter experience is a percentage based off of the payout on the mission.
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
There's a simple formula to calculate Bounty Hunter xp
+
−
 
+
−
50 bounty credits earned = 1 investigation xp or credits x .02 = XP
+
−
 
+
−
In other words, if you take a bounty mission for 5000 credits, you are awarded 100 inv xp upon completion. If you complete a bounty worth 10000 credits, you earn 200 inv xp.
+
−
 
+
−
So if you take a bounty with high mission difficulty you WILL earn more XP. However, this isn't specifically due to the mission difficulty, but rather that more difficult bounties pay more than lower difficulty missions.
+
−
 
+
−
NOTE: The more proficient you are with the weapon you have equipped when choosing the mission and the more damage that weapon deals out, the higher the pay you can generate from the terminals. In otherwords, if you have LLC 4 and pick a mission with your LLC equipped, you will generate higher paying missions (and again, remember this means more inv xp in the end) than if you equip a pistol with only BH pistol 1 (or even 4, as the LLC causes more damage than your pistol).
