DISCLAIMER: "Anti-Exploiters" please press BACK button on your browser

While adventuring down the road to becoming a Jedi, I have discovered the perfect template for a very fast AND successful FS Grind. All you have to do is simply free your mind from the mentality of having the "perfect FS Template" (as I believe everything is broken anyways, because even if it does work, it works poorly) and follow these instructions:

1.) Become a "Master FS Grinder"


- 4000 Commando
- 4000 Teras Kasi Artist
- 0400 Doctor

This template will leave you with few remaining Skill Points, so believe me when I say you must leave behind your current character. After all, if you plan on becoming a Jedi, you will have to drop your current template anyways. Why not do it now, right?


2.) Gather Supplies


Now that you have earned the pseudo-tag of Master FS Grinder, you can mix-and-match some of the following choices for your 6 FS lines:


Choose any combination in Heightened Senses, Combat Prowess, and Enhanced Reflexes

To obtain 1 line in HSM you will need approximately 50 crates of 50x11 Rez Kits. I say approximately because the experience varies between 600-1000 per Rez. To get your lines in Combat Prowess or Enhanced Reflexes, visit your favorite Grenade shop and gather "some amount" of Thermal Grenades. I am not sure the actual amount, as I am still working on HSM.

NOTE: Regardless of which method you use, you will also needs crates of Ahrisa, Accaragm, and Garrmorl. As you will soon see, you will need the extra boost to all 6 of your Action & Health stats and to the focus stat of your mind.


3.) "Macroing"


When working up the lines in Heightened Senses, do the following:

1.) Dump all your inventory in a bank except 1 Vibro Knuckler (which you should leave equipped)
2.) Place your first 50 crates in your inventory, along with 1 crate of each of the 3 foods as described in step 2.
3.) Retrieve a “Death Bot” This is someone who also has access to the village and will be willing to donate his/her time to you while you grind
4.) Both of you venture to the village and stand right next to Paemos
5.) Pull 1 of each food out of the crates
6.) Pull 4 Rez Kits out of a crate
7.) Group with your Death Bot if you have not done so already
8.) Run this repetitive macro on your Death Bot and have him /FOLLOW Paemos (don't worry about drag now)


/target YourCharacter;
/pause .5;
/duel YourCharacter;
/pause .5;
/macro NameOfThisMacro;

9.) Run this macro on your character:


/target DeathBot;
/pause .5;
/duel DeathBot;
/pause .5;
/unarmedHit2;
/pause .3;
/unarmedHit2;
/pause .3;
/unarmedHit2;
/pause .5;
/deathblow;
/pause .5;
/revive;
/pause .5;
/macro NameOfThisMacro;

10.) As you run out of Rez Kits, just pull more out and keep going. Also, watch your stats and take your food accordingly.
11.) Once you reach 80k Medical XP convert it with Paemos and repeat
12.) DO NOT TRAIN IN ANYTHING…JUST BANK YOUR EXPERIENCE (you need 1.225 million per line...so do the math)

For lines in Combat Prowess, read this: http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Forcesensitive&message.id=40272 Use /Meditate to heal your wounds as you grind grenades! As you max on Combat XP, go to the village and convert. AGAIN, DO NOT TRAIN IN ANYTHING...JUST BANK YOUR EXPERIENCE!

NOTE: Open up Sense and Combat quests as the village shifts phases


3.) Conclusion


After you obtained enough experience, drop Commando and Teras Kasi. Don't worry about losing your melee defenses either, as you can pick up a level 10 Non-CH Pet that has 10k Health and 60% kinetic resists to tank for you while you grind to NOVICE LIGHTSABER and then NOVICE DEFENDER (gives you nice defenses).


Train in your 6 lines and wait for the Old Man, kill Mellichae, do your initiate quests, unlock, pat yourself on the back!


Good Luck!

If you are actually grinding legally by clicking each box, then that would be the best way to go (more XP = less clicks = less trauma to your body). However, at 6k of minerals, I'd opt for crafting Kiwik Clusjo Swirls. They take 40 Berries, 20 water, and 20 fruits and give 274 xp. What's nice about that is if you mine the flora yourself, you get about 14 days before flora shifts(vs. the usual 7 day for minerals...at least from what i've experienced). Just mine about 4 million of all 3 (I didn't bother calculating the actual figure...but obviously less of the fruits and water than the berries), fire up your afk macro of choice and you'll be done in about a week.


Heck, now that the servers don't go down every day, you could go even faster!

Wouldn't you want to be 4004 Teras Kasi for meditate AND a high Combat xp cap?


I know at 0004 Teras Kasi, combat xp caps at 300,000. What's the combat xp cap at 4000? I'd imagine it's less than 300,000.


At a 3 to 1 ratio for combat xp, and with 0004 TK, you can get 100,000 FS xp per convert.

at 4000 commando the cap is 180K XP (YES ITS TRUE!!!!) so i suggest changing your template to 4004 tka =) and yes im positive, and its not just because of a recent nerf, its ALWAYS been this way... (trust me i've experimented countless times with this and seen countless posts both on FS forums and Commando forums, COMMANDOS CAP AT 180K COMBAT XP!!!)

I am not sure, i wasnt TKA and i didnt cap until 300k, beside the last box in Commando 4xxx line requires around 120k, which makes that cap at least 240k, but testing this myself, its 300k

Sorry for the late reply...went out of town for a bit. Anyways, if you don't want to do Rez'ing, you can always do the good ol' pet trick / healing routine. Basically, instead of a Death Bot, you obtain someone who has a pet (and make sure the pet is trained by a CH to do at least 1 trick) and then you have this person (aka Pet Bot) do the following macro:


/tellpet NameOfPet CommandToDoTrick

/pause .1;

/macro NameOfThisMacro


Next, to really get the XP going, have the Pet Bot press the macro about 5 times and you will see the action just go down like crazy. However, there are some problems with the Pet trick:


PROBLEMS WITH PET TRICK / HEALING

1.) The Pet Bot has to take 2 doses of Brandy (or some other food / drink) to keep his/her mind up (since telling the pet to do the trick requires mind AND action).

-The problem with this is that the Devs made it where, after running super fast recursive macros (in this case, the Pet Bot is running the Pet trick macro multiples times), the Pet Bot's stomach will not empty. Therefore, once his/her brandy runs out (after about 40 mins), he/she will not be able to take food again or drink again until his/her stomach empties.


2.) Someone buffs your Pet Bot

-Once someone buffs your Pet Bot, his/her action will no longer drain. Therefore, you will not be able to heal the Pet Bot until his/her buff runs out.


I am sure there are more problems with it (as I never did it for long since someone buffed my bot ). So, I wouldn't recommend doing it, but do what you want!


There are other ways to get Senses XP as well: Scouting, Surveying, Merchant, Music, Dancing, etc. However, the medical XP is by far the easiest to get doing my method. Plus, your template is going to be ripped apart later anyways if you choose to go up the Jedi Lines. So, just drop it now, and get your FS Quest over with as fast as possible!

Yea, if you are up for doing JUST combat XP, you can do 4 lines in Combat Prowess and 2 lines in Reflexes (or mix and match). I just didn't want to grind combat XP, as I just let my macros do the work for my 4 lines of Heightened Senses.


In fact, in 4.5 days, I got all 4.9 million FS Senses XP!! Have to love macroing!
