the 15 mil is including the armor you would have to replace and power ups for grenades (which arnt that much i guess) all I was saying you shouldn't have to worry about spending more then 15 mil on the grind.

That is just highway robbery at it's worst. Does it really cost that much to buy nades on your server?? The ones on Bria are around 80-100k a crate for thermal's and I thought that was high. I pity you guys

Wow, so basically if I want to reach Jedi before I'm out of college I have to earn another 5-14 million credits.. Ideas?
BTW is there anything else that gives straight combat XP like grenades do?

When you use any weapon you get XP for that weapon type. You also get Combat XP that is usually equal to about 10% of the XP you got for your Weapon XP. For instance, if you kill a MOB that gives you 5K Riffle XP, you get 500 Combat XP as well. You could up the amount of Combat XP slightly by grouping with a pet/droid or even having a few mates along for the ride. But, then the mates actually kill the mobs as well as you and sap some of the MOBS available Weapon XP away from you. It better to have a pet/droid grouped with you, but have them stand back and just watch and not actually do any damage to the MOB.
Anyways, if this one MOB gives you 5K Weapon XP and 500 Combat XP this will translate to 333 Force Sensitive XP.
You max out at 900K Weapon XP and 30K Combat XP (I'm pretty sure it's 30K) before you have to convert. This gives you 40K Force Sensitive XP per trip to Paemos that be put towards that particular(Combat) branch.
So, to max out on Weapon/Combat XP you need to kill ~120 5K MOBS.

Ok, i gotcha. I was feeling sorry for the FS EXP grinders on your server for a while there! 15 mil for 10-12 crates plus armor sounds like a good round about number to me.

Question: Which Nades will do the best against Giant Baz nithces? Currently my template is Master Commando 0004 TKA, 0040 Medic. I have ground out 3 & 1/2 trees and just wondering if there might be a faster way? Currently throwing proton grenades and wondering if I would be better off with the common template of TKM, 4000 Commando and throwing imp detonators at Giant Baz Nitches?
In short, best nades vs. Baz Nitches would be? (I know imps are supposed to be better then thermals, but what about protons?)

i prefer thermals personally but imps are practically just as good. There is little difference between them and both work well. I just use whichever of those 2 I find cheapest.

against baz is protons as nades do different damage and have slight protection against themos`s
i find 3 protons nades will kill a baz nitch

protons are expensive. so i use imp det. and termal det. imp det.s have more max damage. but termals have more area effect . so i use termal. but it is up to u. there is no big difference between them.

Protons are expensive i pay around 90-100K a create but you use less than u would with other grenades so there is really no price difference
the protons i have do max damage of 3.2K

imps and thermals take pretty much the same amount of time. i myself have not done master commando so cant compare to protons, but from looking at the stats, i think protons are better for the grind if you can afford them. if you cant, go with thermals cuz they have a higher armour piercing

from this, i can only figure out that you are killing baz nitches and not giant baz nitches. i would advise you to hunt giant baz nitches as they will get you a lot more xp per buff session.
