Just turned Glowwy on my 2nd account and waiting for the old man while i grind the caps....
Planned it all out arounf 490k FS per grind:
900k Medical
1200k Rifles
900k Carbines
900k Pistols
900k Combat
Until... one of my guild informs me combat xp now converts at 30:1, the same as weapons?
IM sorry but if this is true its disgracefull.... spend 6 hours grinding 900k combat for it to be the same as 1 hour of grinding rifles?
I really hope they made a mistake on this one and it will be changed back to 3:1 as combat xp is earnt at the rate of 10% of the weapons xp...

Yeah its at 30:1 .. But when you can pick up a pike, grind 200k xp and trade that in, without having any pike skill at all, who cares! You've got like 18 weeks to get your xp in teh first place.

And don't forget while you've ground out that 900k Combat XP you've also earned 9 MILLION XP of weapon based XP for free at the same time. And that translates to 300k FS Combat Prowess or Enhanced Reflexes XP not counting the combat XP conversion.
Hardly a terrible situation. 6 hours to go up about a quarter of the way up a single tree... That would make a single tree grindable in about 24 hours of play or so, or 144 hours for the whole village grind. Even if you average only 2 hours a day instead of 6 you've got the village grind done in 2 months.

You have to have MBH to cap Combat XP @ 900k

I can somewhat decipher this jibberish
And to the OP...like someone else mentioned, you do have 18weeks to get all this xp. And as another poster mentioned, the grind once you become Jedi is a much longer one.

If its one thing I've learned, its that most people that can spend their time flaming on teh boards typically dont have lifes of their own. If you take the above situation and actually THOUGHT ABOUT IT before trying to think of a way to make yourself sound like a utter idiot, you could see how much time it really doesnt take to do the grind. 2 hours a day, or even 2 hours every other day is nothing. God forbid it take a little effort on your part to unlock the final end game content right?

What's the point of this post? You could have just read the past messages and confirm this. Oh I get it. You just wanted to add your whine.

I must be bugged because my combat xp capped at 300K. I may have to check again during my next huntind seesion but I'm pretty sure as it's happened every time I go to the village to convert xp.

I still don't see what all the fuss is about.
I never bother trying to cap Combat XP when grinding. I view itas a bonus these days, not the be all and end all of the matter.
When I hit 1.2 mil Carbines and 900K each of Pistols and Rifles, I go convert.
It takes me around 2 hours to cap, and I have a little over 6 weeks before my final unlock.
Things look hopeful to me!!!
