Thread: alternative to buffing for better xp at the village
1300/18=72xp per second.
Most docs at the village buff for free, or pay what you want. And as we all know buffs are rather expensive.
So that's only 72xp per second for quite an expensive grind.
duel/kill/revive method:
The macro I'm using goes through the full macro in about 3 to 4 seconds (sometimes 3 sometimes 4 according to the logs, so somewhere in between it must be)
you get anywhere from 700xp to 950xp for rezzing someone (it's random but is between that)
Grind for 500 milloin MORE xp??? For what? To become a Padawan to GRIND for another 500 million???
Not for me.
Call me a troll but GRINDING AIN'T CONTENT!!

not trying to flame
I do see your point about grinding not content. I'm not sure about the giving in to the devs thing though. I just want to ask you something. Are you having fun with the game right now and have been for atlest teh last 3 weeks? If you can answer yes then Great continue maybe down the road there will be more content for you. If you answer NO then. I ask you another ? WHY BOTHER move on go play another rpg let me know if you find one that is anywhere near the level of SWG. All rpg i have played there is an xp gain required to level. If there is no grind then eveeryplayer is the same and thats that. Maybe a realtime strat game is for u or a fsp. Not sure man but why do something that you complain about
1,225,000(youdontneed to pay novice for each skill inthe FS Senses profession)FS senses XP / 8000 (conversion max for doc) = 153.125 times to max xp.
153.125 * 80000 (Medical XP cap) = 12,250,000 Med xp needed for one tree
12,250,000/((175xp/sec+235xp/sec)/2)= 59756 seconds = 16 hours 36 min to get one tree in FS Senses
12,250,000/(72xp/sec) = 170139 seconds = 47 hours 16 min to get one tree in FS Senses
Number of rez packs needed for each tree = 14849 (averaging 700 and 950 xp per revive)
Number of buff packs needed for each tree (assuming 11 buffings gets you 80k xp) = 1685
Cost of rez packs (assuming 5k per 20 - Tempest cost) = 3,712,250
Cost of buff packs (assuming 100k per 25 - Tempest cost) = 6,740,000
So to further Kenethrios' premise, using the duel/kill/revive IS the faster & probably cheaper path to get your FS Senses XP.

I agree that SWG is a great game. A personal opinion I grant you, but I had expectations of quest upon quest upon quest to make it to the Jedi ranks - not more of the same I used to MASTER professions. In my mind I had visions of something different. I have no issue with grinding to a master profession. I ground out my professions to get to the higher levels where I caould actually have fun. Jedi promised hologrinding for no new reward so I chose not to grind. LA/SOE promised a different method to obtain Jedi but in pub 10 delivered the same old thing.
I am not a game developer or a coder. Maybe there IS no other way to add to the game other than grinding. I don't know. But I AM a GAMER and I have (had) high expectations of Lucas Arts and SOE and have been disappointed. You are 100% correct in your assesment of SWG as one the best on-line games(which is why -even with my complaining- I still play)in publication but that position brings with it a responsibility as well. "All the other games do it" is not really an excuse if YOU are at the top of the heap.
At the end of the day each of us makes a decision to continue with the game or move on. I do not fault the game for its grinding - I fault it for promising one thing and delivering more of the same.
PS, thank you for a post contributing to dialoge.

or just use the pet trick and get over 500xp every 2 seconds...
500xp what kinda **edit**ty stims you using???
Pet trick explination, find someone with a pet have them buff up mind with brandy/ahrisa until they can spam without using mind. Buff there action (the person with the pet NOT the pet) have said person spam /tellpet <trick command> loop the macro and hit it about 4-5 times so it's spamming multiple tricks to the pet per second watch there action bar disappear in a matter of seconds. All you have to do is heal them with ubar stims (I use 923 D's) and you can cap out 80k med xp in about 5 mins. Plus 2 people can heal said person at the same time with little or no xp loss.
