What's everybody Grinding now? I used to Powerups to get to Novice Armorsmith, now I want to get Tailor but since they cut the XP for powerups in half I don't want to make them anymore.

I've been practicing with heavy axes, gives over a hunded xp for very little resources.

I heard backpacks were pretty good. Just find a good source of crap fiberplast, mine it for a bit and make travel packs.

chest plate for bone armor gives you a ton of exp

Does anyone know what gives you the MOST. I don't care how many resources

What am I grinding? NOTHING! I hated grinding so I don't!

At lower levels I make and sold (or just used) fireworks. As my ability to experiment improved I focused on leasrning to make high quality items and find items that are in demand. Right now I sell nearly everthing I make. Anything that doesn't pass my standard of quality becomes a "practice" so I don't have to do the make...destroy cycles anymore. But all my good stuff sells.

Grinding is boring and you miss out on learning important information like how to make the best, what is in demand, and what are good prices.

I don't really grind. I have been getting my xp from traps / camps (I'm working on Scout), and just experimenting with different stuff. I have been trying to figure out how, exactly, resource quality affects crafted / experimented items. I have made some real nice bone armor, with nearly every experiment a great or amazing success. And they have given me a lot of XP. Of course, I am a wookie, so the armor is all an academic exercise. And the same with cooking and clothes. Of course, I have been Eng III for a while now, but I haven't really lost interest, or been burned out on crafting yet.

I make a lot of survey machines, because I keep discarding them when I run out of room in my inventory, and I don't feel like running back to the city to put it in my vault.

For medical, I didn't grind at all, per se, because I used / sold every single stimpack and med-pack I made. In fact, I sometimes had to buy them to keep up with use, which was just fine with me.

I've not really done any grinding until late. The easiest I've found to grind has been chemical survey tools. I can use one cheap metal like Alum, Steel, etc. for all 4 slots. Think total resource is 22 for a total of like 51 xp if doing practice. I try not to grind but sometimes get frustrated with how far I have to go till can work on a specific profession. Just my 2 cents.

I heard backpacks were pretty good

Backpacks are a great resource for making credits. Just find a city where none are for sale on the bazaar and keep them stocked. Also anything that's black sells well--even the lower end clothing. Black boots and gloves still sell great for me.

ya higher up i hear backaps as well but for now i would also recomend heavy axes. they give either 90 or 100 exp a pop for 21 metal and 20 wood.

I am curious what I should grind if I only have Eng and Dom 2. I am close to have one be upgraded to 3rd level(about 900 more xp). So, what is a decent item, I did powerups but it is only 20xp and want a bit more if possible.

Just to make sure it is clear(since I'm about to fall asleep here) I have Eng 2 and Dom 2. I apologize for any confusion I might eventually cause.

Absolutely nothing.

I fail to see the point of grinding as it is not neccesary and what is more frustrating is so many people (though no one so far in this thread) complain bitterly about it.

There is NO forced grinding in SWG, it is entirelyoptional.

Hmmm, sort of going off the subject here, sorry

Bone armor chest plates are really good general crafting XP. Thats what I grind if and when I feel like grinding.
