Mate go learn about the game, when I think you're gonna be Jedi in no time with grenades and u still don't know that, it makes me shiver, I mean just look at your skill tree screen it's all written. And for the answer to your question YES u need brawler 4xxx for commando. But really play the game for a few months, do some pvp, try out a few professions, try crafting a minimum or you're in for a WWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDD of pain when u become a padawan .... *sigh*

Weird question from someone who joined in 2003. You only have to check your skilltree to see the prerequs for the professions.

if you grind out at least 5.5 caps per day, you should be able to grind out all the needed xp before the cu hits live.

basically, if you do it right, you can cap every 30-45 minutes. What you do is buy a buttload of thermal detonators. Go to dathomir and grab lvl 99 missions for Giant Baz Nitches. When you get to the lair, tap it with whatever weapon you're using, then stand in the lair while chucking grenades at it. When you kill the guards and the first spawn, tap the lair until you get attacked by another baz nitch. Only kill 4 out of the 5 that spawn, hop on your bike, and go to your next lair, do the same tactic on that lair and head back to the first, you'll have the guards and another spawn there. Destroy the lair and head back to your other mission.
Keep doing that and you'll get around 250k-300k combat xp per run. Sometimes you'll get lucky and manage to pull 250k xp off of one bugged lair.
As you grind longer, if you're like me, it'll take longer and longer to reach the cap. The most caps I ever got in a single day was 9, but I averaged around 4-5 a day, playing about 5 hours a day, so you can be more efficient than I was and easily get 6-8 caps a day if you have the time.

you can do 500k force exp per 3.5 hours. you need less then 7.2m force exp. so about 15 buff sessions. so ya you could do it no problem. keep in mind you dont even have to do the quests you can bank all the exp now.

GBLoneWolf asked:
will 2 mil be enough for 4 lines?
will 2 mil be enough for 4 lines?
By "lines" I think you mean trees as they are typically kalled. At first I thought you also ment 2 mil FS xp, but that would be 4.9 mil. You therefore ment credits (cr). You approximately need 10 krates per tree so 40 kartes for 4 trees then. At a kost of 45k cr per krate (price I last payed for them) then you would spend 1.8 mill. This does not include the kost of grinding the Novice Box, I dont have that xp kost in front of me.
FS xp / tree = 450k + 350k + 250k + 175k = 1.225M FS xp
# of Kaps / tree = FS xp / tree / FS xp / Kap = 1.225M / 100K (kombat kap only) = 12.25 kaps
# of grenades per kap (my numbers/my technique) = 19 stack of 5
# of krates per tree = # of grenades per kap x # of Kaps / tree/ 25 stackes per krate = 19 x 12.25 / 25 = 9.31 (approx 10)
Kost of 4 trees of FS XP = # of krates per tree x 4 trees x Kost / Krate = 10 x 4 x 45k cr = 1.8M cr.
Two weeks ago I found all WS on my server had shut down production in anticipation of teh CU. I had toask one to restart making them. These numbers dont include incidentals such as 2.5 sets of komposites, cost of medical and entertainer buffs, travel kosts if any, kost of lost bikes or repair (5 lost in my kase). In most kost analysis reports that I read, the authors neglect to state ALL their assumptions and INCIDENTALS they leave out. These omissions lead to incorrect decisions. I read post that say it takesthem 30 min to kap. It takes me 10 min to find 2 missions in the same general direction, and then get there. Plus 20 min to turn in my xp and get back to the Sci Outpost. Those 30 min kapper will explain that they don't waste time getting missions for Giant Baz Nitch (GBN), They kome across lairs titled GBN Lair and they just do them (7 times I had to explain how to ID a random spawn lair, and I don't believe their ignorance). When they get to the village they spam for some one to deathblow them, to transport back to the sci-post. These are all time savers that I dont indorse. Good luck.
Spelling words with a K is part of my role-play, and is done so on purpose and is not a spelling error.
