I just now decided to start grinding toward Jedi (i've been in the village already, just never actualy started hardcore grinding fs xp.....only have about 50k right now)
So....SHOULD i continue for Master Doctor and Master swordsman (i'm about 5 boxes away from master doc)
OR should i give all my Doctor and Medic up, and get my marksmen to max and then unarmed, and go for Commando 4000?
OR should i just use the money i make from buffing, to buy *%# loads of C12's and just spam those on baz nitches?
thx ahead
If your looking to turbo grind XP and have the cash Grenades.
If your don't have the cash but just want to be able to cap XP at a decent rate. Swordsman/Rifleman or Swordsman/Pikeman are good grinders.

The only problem I can see is that I think the xp cap for Swordsman is lower pretty much across the board. As a TKM, you'll generally see a higher xp:HAM ratio, which gives you more xp per grenade. Plus, your defense will be much higher. The reason this comes up is that the combat xp you get from grenades is equal to the weapon and combat xp you would have gotten with the weapon that you are holding.

Keep your current template. Buffing gives around 6k of xp per buff and you can trade that in. Don't go commando either...go to the Janta caves on dant and grind there by yourself.
My template is Master swordsman, TKM, 0/4/4/0 fencer, novice medic, FS melee accuracy, FS melee speed. I go to the janta cave which on my server is totally deal almost all the time and I just max out fencer, tkm, and swords xp really fast. Plus of course i get the combat xp at the same time...forget all that commando stuff. Your template is good too...you can buff, make money andtrade in good xp at a pretty fast rate.

but would it still be worth it to try and do the grenade method, witch plain old c12's? that's what i was asking, i was never thinking of trading in my swordsman xp, that wasn't even in question. i was basically asking:
Master Swordsman / Master doc - and use c12's to spam on baz nitches
or
Master Swordsman / Commando 4000 - and use thermal dets or whatever the best is, and spam those on baznitches
i was basically asking, are the commando 4000 grenades that much faster/usefull than the c12's without commando.

C12's take a whole lot longer, and it takes a whole lot more of them to do the job compared to imperials or thermals.
Trust me, grinding nades is awful, but if you only use C12's, this game will get real boring, real quick.
Once you exchange combat XP 3:1 after trading in everything else at much higher ratios, you see why nades are so attractive. But it still sucks.

C-12s take forever, dont even touch them unless you are grinding up commando or just getting a few points here and there.
I started at Doc/Swords, decided on TKM/Swords, quit the game, restarted the game, finished tkm, quickly decided on commando and dropped swords. TKM is big because you will want meditate when you realize how channle force works. TKM is better than swords on nades because it has the defenses where swords relies on quick kills to minimize personal dmg.
Doc grenade thrower is out of the question IMO. There is a different tempo when you throw grenades and healing is very delayed. Without the defenses of a melee proff I cant see a doc standing on aMutant baz nitch lair and outdamaging those beasties while he heals himself pretty much non stop.
The guy who said the xp is equivalent to the weapon you hold: does this imply that if i hold a cdef i would get 5000 combat xp? I know this is unrealistic sincea cdef would shoot your melee defenses out the window, but what about a fencer equiping a survival knife?

Don't worry about him - he's had an elective lobotectomy, either that or there is an invisible sticky explaining good/bad templates for FS grind...

Am currently
Master Medic
Master Marksman
Brawler 2020
Swordsman 0201
Novice Doctor
Was intending to go Commando 4000 Doc 3440 and Grenade my way through FS, but my original plan was Master Doc, Master Swords...
Which way will be quicker? I thought this change of plan was a good thing - this thread makes me think otherwise.
