Thread: Whats the fastest way to grind CM?
A 5 macros linking into each other with 5 crafting stations, looking at doing the whole crafting line in about 5 hours.
The for the rest get a mate to tumble, i was getting 10k healing xp every 15mins. I did mine with a fellow CM grinder so we setup macros to tumbe and then one to heal. Worked a treat and just had a good old chat while tumbling/healing.
Today is my fifth day of CM grinding and tonight i will be master.
Go Support 4, Distance 4 then Speed 4. Personally I'd get some AE Poison A's (Any stat) and go to a durni lair (or any low HP mob lair will do).Poke the lair till about 10 or more come out at once, holster your weapon, peace and spam the poison.
At CM0002 you will get the xp equivalent to the rated effectiveness of the poison pack plus your effectiveness bonus. At CM0004 you can start using better poison packs, like AE Bs. At CM1004 your damage on the packs will start gaining more of a bonus to damage and distance. At CM4004 your bonus to damage and distance will be maxed until you reach Master. At this point you will fly through the Speed tree in approximately 30 minutes or so.
Now you may ask "But won't mobs die with so much poison being applied to them?" No, thanks to the +1 nerf the Devs have introduced the easiest way to Power Level a CM.
Another question you may have is "Will I still gain xp for applying a poison pack to a mob with only 1 HP?" Yes, you will gain full XP but it just won't do the damage. Spam the pack like mad. I recommend you buy or make some poison packs made with Rancor biles to maximize the charges. A good pack made with Rancor Bile can have upwards of 90-190 charges on them.
The Crafting XP....
Setup 6 Food and chem crafting tools from left to right in the top bar using a separate panel. Have 18k Lok wheat and 18k Tat Fiber in your main inventory. Once you go through this macro you will notice the message "Crafting Station has ended". Don't worry about it this macro is automatically skipping the practice box after you load the resources but you still get the XP.Also I would recomend if you plan on hotkeying this Macro to put it in the Shift F12 button of the panel.
You can use this macro while you are running from point A to point B, during some downtime and even crafting stations or droids will not affect this macro as it skips the experimentation and practice screens.

Or just go out and hunt with a few buddies. Area heals do wonder and you will be able to make money and have some fun as well while grinding. This is a somewhat slower method. But not much. Tossing Area heals in cantinas are a possibility but hogs xp for other medics and is risky if you are covert (and downright nasty if you are overt) due to TEF.
Poisoning low level MOBs is probably good, I have never had to try that. But then I'm not much for grinding and preferd the go hunting method. If you have a friend who needs to level a basic weapon you could always go out with him hunting red cons and just stand around healing him. We powerleveled marksman pistol for a friend by hunting Cu Pas with me as only a healer and that worked fine.
Support, Range, Speed is probably the best way to go. But it might be worth it to try Support, Speed, Range as well... i don't know.

I really can't make it any clearer than that for the fastest way to get through XP. Support, Range, Speed....
I just went from Novice Combat medic to 4-4-0-4 in less then six hours. lol
Prep up. Get your factory to bust out 2 or 3 crates of 50 Stim C's the night before you plan on power grinding.
Luckily my alt on Ahazi was lucky enough to find 4 /AFK Tumblers in the Med center.
I just sat there and healed away. On each of the tumblers you want to buff up their action bar.
