I got to AS 3000 and was about to start the suggested ubese shirt grind to master,when I decided to do some math. I have 599200 xp points left to get master. I found that I will need to make 6375 shirts at 94 xp/shirt, HELL NO!! I found that I will only need to make 1498 Tantel Armor Chestplate Appearances at 400xp/CP, more do-able. SWGcraft does not list the xp for Ubese chestplates, Ithorian Sentinel Armor Chestplate, or battle chestplates. Can someone please provide me with that information so that I can choose the quickest way to get to AS and start my factory runs?

I went with Kashyyykian Ceremonial Chests. They only cost three recon cores which allow you to get about a third more chestpieces made per batchof cores than any non-Kash armor. Requirements are 3 Recon cores, 2 Armor Padding, 1 Synth Cloth, 100 Leathery Hide and 100 Endor Conifer. They give over 300xp per, so just over 100k xp for a batch of cores. After 3000 I ran 4 batches of cores and chests and did a little bit of Ubese shirts in between batches and worked on hunting hides and resources while the factories ran.

I went with bone chest plates. 130-160 xp per craft.


This might be good to bring up my question. Do you get xp for factory runs of segments and cores?

So is SWGcraft.com wrong in stating that Tantel chestplates give 400XP?

I guess my real question is, does the armor xp increase as you go up the branch? Also,do Ubese chestplates give additional XP being that they use 5 cores instead of 3 at the 3rd tear?

I think it is wrong. I don't think the xp amounts for most of the stuff on swgcraft.com (especially armorsmith) got changed post-cu. I would try it once before putting all my eggs in that basket. I know that when I did my post cu grind, someone gave me some looted cores so I crafted an appearance (can't remember which one I tried) and got lousy xp from it.


The second question is no xp, doesn't change as you go up the branch and no, ubese doesn't give more xp because it has more cores. You already (supposedly) get the xp from the cores when you make them (of course they have to be done in the factory, so you really get no xp for cores). The only increase in the amount of xp in ubese over tantel as it uses more resources in the combine then the tantel (not counting the cores, synthetic cloth and RFP's or whatever).


I still think your only choice is the ubese shirts or the segment/core grind.
