Thread: fast xp
I've been a BE from the start of my SWG gaming experience (about 5 months now)... and i noticed the way to become a Master is long and hard. Altho i dont usely grind and let my xp grow with natural gameplay. but I now wanna get xp a little bit faster. Atm i'm a 3142 BE so there is still some work to do.
I was wondering what is the best way to grind some xp when bein a 3142 BE.
a thnx in advance.

That 15-20 minutes, once or twice per play session adds up pretty fast as well when you're making 1.2k exp per minute.
I think there's a macro for this in the faq.

also getting software that lets you map double-click to right-click on your mouse helps, you can just right-click your resources instead of doubleclicking
This may be classed as violating the terms and conditions though... Any 3rd party program affecting input to SWG could violate, and prob is violating the terms and agreement.
That rule applies to programs that script info, as in directly and independently control the game, not features of your mouse that let you remap shortcuts to your mouse buttons

I didn't mean that I have an issue with this, I was just warning that it could be taken to mean a breach of terms, whether it was bundled with your mouse or not.
However you suggest that unless it takes control of your game it isn't violating the rule. What about a macro program to click the mouse. It does pretty much the same thing as your program, but *IS* a violation of the T&Cs. Think of it this way... If you are allowed to click once andit clicks twice in game, then why cant I click once, and get it to keep clicking until I don't want it to. Thats the basis of an external macro program. Where do you draw the line? One double click from one mouse button or multiple clicks from one mouse button.
(Personally I don't care if someone AFKs the entire profession list, they are the ones who are paying for something they aren't enjoying. I'd just hate to see someone kicked out of the game for breaking rules on someones advice when I had the opportunity to warn them that it could cause that eventuality.)
Think it maybe best to get a macro altho they somehow doesn't seem to work with me. And just grind for 15-20 / session may be a good idea aswell. That way the boredom will be low, just grind 15-20... have a little fun... and grind a little more. Sounds good!
Lets hope it won't take to long anymore...
Cheers for the info !

something that clicks for you is very different than what commonly comes with every mouse made today, from logitechs to ms. they have software thatallows you to config them so that you do not need to double click. you can even config a mouse button to perform a certain number of keystrokes with some of them. this isnt playing the game for you, as with programs that click for you are. and its not a violation of any eula because some of these programs are apart of the drivers that allow the mouse to function in the first place.
