Read the sticky on this forum HERE
and check the replies in that thread, as well as read the FAQs listed there to help. Good luck
ok i was reading thru the links that i got from your sticky but it really didnt tell me much about a hard core grind on it...what i really need to know i guess is what is the best way to gain my crafting xp..im making advanced bio's at the moment but for some reason 80-90 xp per craft dont seem to be the way to go..
if anyone knows what i should be crafting to make my life easier plz let me know cause otherwise this is gonna be a as long of a grind as JEDI and with much less excitement

I think that, with armorsmith, BE is one of the hardest grinds around. OK ... not counting jedi becasue I only have to LIVE with a jedi - I don't have to grind it myself. Did you check the newly clickified FAQ? I think we are recommending grinding on the tissue line at the moment - I'm not SURE anyone has actually checked the xp on all the med stuff - but but - they take like 1000 resources per item so it's not something you really want to grind on! And high level dna templates give a nice bit of xp but to get the DNA you will spend hours getting it only to probably end up with not very wonderful pets to sell - IF you are only doing it for grinding then you are unlikely to planet/location hop and get the DNA combos required to make the nicer critters. My rate of making pets is maybe one per hour of play when you take travelling, working up recipes, tracking the DNA into account.

PS. You'd think that someone would have to be completely MAD to grind on BE xp to get FS crafting mastery 
And yet someone on my server came up to me the other day and asked me if i'd willing to sample DNA for him to grind his FS-CM on pets alone???!!!! golly.

Er ... just thought ...
Old skool docs and people making meds - what is in the med branch that rivals BSN for xp in practice mode btw - how did doctors used to grind? Just for adding to the FAQ as an alternative route please. (Or even add it directly there?)

I ground out doc using ABEC's
yea thats what i had done twice for doc was advanced BEC but the xp is only around 80 per item..not time efficient..im grinding BE for the use of chef tissues and possible stim supplier but as of right now i want the fastest way to get to MBE ..
thank all of u so far that have given me info towards this
I am doing the BE grinding too. BE0010 here atm. Yes it's slow so patience is your friend. Be inspired all the time, chat with friends and the time will fly. Enjoy the fact that the master box is free while fighting professions require experience to fill it.
About the dna sampling. I was reading to /sampleDna only up to lev12. I sussesfully sampled lev18s at BE0000 to get BE0010 and yes, it's not fast but it can be done.
Only con I have to see that there are no animals at all on the easy planets except the server's reset days. It's so sad to see what's pve after CU.

that's the key... it's not fast. sample failure = 0 xp. you get more xp, faster, and more reliably, sampling lower CL's. the 'sweet spot' for sampling is considerably lower than the sampling cap at any skill level.

that worked fine... pre-CU. medic, doc, and CM crafting xp requirements were MUCH lower than BioE crafting xp requirements... much, much, much lower.
running ABEC's over and over again works well... when you're grinding doc or CM med crafting, pre-CU. post-CU, it's all measured against the MUCH higher xp requirements of BioE.
tissues were the fastest grind pre-CU, and they still are. even so, mBioE takes about 5000 items to craft to master (this was also the case pre-CU).
