Part 4 - What to Grind

As you first gain Novice Droid Engineer, you have a very limited number of items that can be used in the grind. There are a number of paths that can be used to grind DE, but all agree that the MSE grind in the beginning is the only way to gain XP. 1 MSE takes 53 metal and 15 chemical and will net 147 XP in practice mode and 140 XP with a crafted product. At 147 XP each, it will take 327 MSE to make it to your first tier 1 box, or 17331 metal and 4905 chemical. More than likely, there will be 7 crit fails per 100 items crafted so plan on needing approximately 19500 metal and 5500 chemical to make it to the first box. You will want to train Intermediate Droid Blueprints, in order to find the next fastest way to progress.

At Intermediate Droid Blueprints, you can either keep on crafting MSE or you can switch to Manipulator Arm Package Sets. The Manipulator Arm Package Sets require 65 metal, 18 ferrous metal, 60 extrusive ore, and 15 chemical. They net 331 XP while in practice mode and 316 XP while producing an item in your inventory. If you chose the Manipulator Arm Package Sets route, it will take 203 successful builds to make it toAdvanced Droid Blueprints or approximately 14300 metal, 3960 ferrous metal, 13200 extrusive ore, and 3300 chemical. If you chose to stick with the MSE grind it will take you 458 successful crafting sessions and approximately 26500 metal and 7500 chemical to advance to the next level. You will want to trainAdvanced Droid Blueprints, in order to find the next fastest way to progress.

At AdvancedDroid Blueprints, you will want to switch over to Advanced Droid Frame Units which will give you 462 XP in practice mode or 440 XP while crafting an item for your inventory. Each Advanced Droid Frame Unit requires 150 steel and 70 Fiberplast. If you grind out the rest of the profession using Advanced Droid Frame Units you will need to successfully craft 2411 more items or approximately 400k Steel and 186k Fiberplast.

There is one other route that can be followed, but will require a few days of factory time, parts from a Master Artisan, and specialized resources, but offers 4200 XP per build. I am referring to Binary Load Lifter ADV Chassis. Due to the resource intensive nature and need for factory run parts, I will only make reference here. You can find out the requirements for it at SWGCRAFT.COM if you want to find out more information.
