Hi guys, Exodus Calderas of Shadowfire here, I havea quick poll...

What, (in YOUR opinion), is a quick, but easy way to get your 6 Trees?

I've tried:

Musician (Too slow for me.)

Squad Leader (A bit too hard to get a big group with good XP making, plus the 90:1 trade in ratio.)

Artisan (Crafting is too slow, and the quests a bit too complicated for my tastes.)

I was thinking:

3-4Trees: Bounty Hunter (1:1 Exchange ratio, good combat skills, and such.)

2-3Trees: Combat (Good old combat trade in.)

I'm unsure how fast Bounty Hunters make XP, and I am very familiar with Combat, but don't really like it.

(Can anyone tell me what Branch does Bounty Hunter go into?)

And I know:

Combat XP = Enhanced Reflexes

Weapon XP = Combat

Bounty Hunter XP = ???

Either way, I can get the Reflexes from Combat, and the Combat Mastery XP from my Weapon XP.

So would Bounty Hunter / Pistoleer work well?

Please help me out here =)

As close as we are to the CU,grenades will get you 6 trees fastest. After that,it will be significantly harder to get any trees.

you don't get crap for BH XP per missions. As much as I hate the NAde grind I say go for it, cause after the CU it'll take 2 years to get to initiate.

Seek not to imitate the master but seek what he sought

I would have to agree on this statement. BH XP maybe at a 1:1 ratio but you only get like 350ish i believe per Bounty.

One bounty hunter mission consists of doing the following

1. Pick mission (Can only have 1 Bounty mission)

2. Speak to informant to collect Bio signature.

3 . Leave city limits. To call down Arakyd droid and give it Bio sig. Wait for droid to tell you what planet your Target is on which can be anyone and takes at least 2 minutes.

4. Travel to designated planet and send out seeker droids. Your Target is on the run and he will not be standing there waiting for you. Track down your mark with the seeker droids which will probably take 5-7 minutes depending on where your mark originally was and direction was heading.

5. Kill mark get your XP and credits.

You would need at least Investigation IV or MBH. Investigation III takes a good hit on droid speed and Investigation II even more. Doing BH missions with Investigation 1 is just plain insane as your droids can fail as well.

In the time to it takes to do that even with JTL travel feature and amark closeby to a SP you could have done possibly 2-3 Destroy missions and earned about 100k or more weapons xp which gives about 10k or more combat while you only get 350ish or I think 400ish. Do the math and 100k/30 is like 3333 FS XP and the combat from that is like 333. 3666 > 350-400 so it's basically not worth it.

I was master pistols and bh 4040 and I am going nades right now. I grinded brawler and got novice commando last night and will start the nade grind tonight. With the 2 weeks of "easy" xp we have left I see no alternative. I want my jedi before New Years! The numbers people are posting for grenading seemed rediculous to me being a pistoleer BH, I wasn't even getting close to what the are pulling in. So I switched up and will return to my template after banking my 7.5mil FSXP. Then the only super long CU grind I will have is Jedi.....and with my new alt I will have relief from the Paddy Grindin' Blues...

no question about it, the grenade grind is the absolute fastest way. That's what I recommend but if you wanna go that route you better get moving. It will be gone when CU hits

I tried the nades approach, found it too slow for my tastes, I'd rather take my 2 professions, cap them and trade them both in plus the combat xp I got, and do that about 2x per buff session.

Same here. I can go to a cave and get more combat xp per hour using swords than using grenades, and on top of it I'm getting weapon xp at the same time. Tried the grenades approach and it justwasn't as fast as swords.

if you want to get it done quite fast, grenading or deathbotting are your only real options, you can do a double mastery in combat proffs, but this takes a great deal more time than grenading

The fastest way that I have found was todo itas Doctor. Using duel/rez macro. I was able to bank 2.5 mil senses xp in 3 days, granted they weere long days but still 3 days. all you need is Doc 0-4-0-0. Then you need rez kits, lots of kits. You can buy them or make them your self. I had 3 factories running making the components and the rez kits. and i made back the money I spent on resources selling the extra kits to people at the village grinding as I was. So if you have the money to buy kits or resourses to make your own, you could actually get enough xp for all four senses branches before the CU. Then using C12's or going comando and using better nades you can get the other 2 branches. Then all you have to do is unlock for each phases.
