Can you kill in week not AFK grinding or spending your every awake minute in SWG?
If I did my math correctly You would need to kill 1275 6k XP mobs a week to bankout enough FS XP to buy your trees in the 20 or so weeks it takes to unlock all the needed branches(Unlocking before training seems like a good method)

12-14 bols per spawn (with a full group with at least 3-4 high cl's in it), 3 spawns per lair + the lair, 10 mins to do a lair with a fast'ish group, 5-6 lairs an hour....
That's about 220 an hour.. so 6 hours of a good group and your at 1320 bols
Factor in village runs to convert, the fact that not all groups are this fast or efficient... 10 hours a week, maybe a little more, seem like a reasonable estimate?

With my old melee stacker template it took (I think) 800-900 LV80's to cap out my XP types, and I did that 5 times a day during double XP, so it doesn't take THAT long.

10 hours a week? Is that all?(Why do people whine?) People spend more hours watching TV in a week

I did mine in 2x xp week as well.. I gave up RL for the week, ignored all my guildies, put my head down and became something I swore I never would (a grind wh*re) and did it all in 5 days, but we had effectively 4x xp (2x xp, 2x fs convert), and also 3:1 combat xp, so the people doing it now need to grind 8x as much as we did in that week (sorry not saying this to get anyone down, it's just fact)
I would think that 20 weeks of 10'ish hours a week would beplenty to get it done, probably less in fact.

(1,225,000 FS XP per cycle) x 30 = 36,750,000 weapon or combat xp per cycle
36,750,000 xp / (6600 total xp from 6k bol with 10% combat xp) = 5569 bols per cycle
figuring time to find a group, travel time between missions and other idle timemost bol hunting groups will kill about 120 bols per hour
add in the 10 20-minute trips to the village for another 200 minutes
Total time per cycle = (5568/120) x 60 + 200 = 2984 minutes or about 50 hours in three weeks
This all comes out to about 2.5 hours per day EVERYDAY for 126 days straight of pure grinding
YUCK . . . and then the jedi grind starts . . .

I'm not sure what scares me more. The fact that you have that much time to grind FS and jedi or the fact that you have that much time and more to come up with that math formula.

We appear to have quite a "bol disparity" in our numbers.. 220 an hour down to 120 an hour, that's a big difference to the overall time.
I'm not grinding anything atm but I'll try and get a sample number next time I'm out helping in a group hunt

I know it scares me more when people that spend more than 10 hours a week watching TV or playing SWG attempt to belittle anyone that displays any level of education.
Can we have your vote back please?

I certainly DO NOT have that much time to grind FS and jedi. I have had my account for 9 months. I was force sensitive after about a month and I have built up about 1 mil FS xp . . . at this rate, in 5 years I'll be jedi initiate! YES! The math took less than 5 minutes.

As a MBH/MR it takes me 2 sets of missions to max everything out at 3 mil xp and 300k combat xp which comes out to 110k fs xp
If I can do 1 set per night it will take about 10 days (less if you do multiple trips on teh weekends) per tree
Also you can rake in 75k scouting xp which would take care of the 6th line
Another interesting side not is you can usually get about 270k (average 8500 per mission with group of 8 doing 2 missions a shot) cash per fill up on xp so by the time yuo make the 60 or so trips to the village you would have a nice stash. Even more if you keep the hides/meat to sell

You kill 1500 bols and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt.
