The village does give double xp. I ground out 2 lines of crafting xp there, now when you convert it, the system message stays the same, BUT if you kept track of how much xp you had Vs how much yuo have you'll see you get double credit.
I was grinding WS xp, 120k weapon xp converts to 24k FS crafting, I got a system message saying I only got 24k, but my xp windows shows a 48k increase.

So say the group stands away from the lair. Those of you who tested, if you lob a nade into spawn, youll be incapd and the mobs will loose aggro after that. Then you can go about pulling 1 by 1 normally w/ group right?

i'm a little confused here. so what you guys are saying is all i need is a s-load of nades, do the "bombing the nest" tactic, and i can unlock my force sensetive slot? well obviously after doing it hundreds of times? now is the nade trick the only thing i need to do to unlock my fs? ty

"just to the people saying the village is giving 2x force xp, it is NOT."
Proof is on the character sheet.
Goto village with 300k combat.
Look at ctrl-s, says I have 3 million FS Reflexes
Talk to Paemos, cash in 300k Combat (1:3)
System message says I recieved 100k FS Reflexes XP
Look at CTRL-s again, New FS Refexes XP total is 3.2 million.
Proceed to cash in Rifles xp.....
Now, did I get double trade in or not?
Try it yourself BTW.
Personally I think it is working as intended.
Most don't notice it, and they think, "Hey, this grind is easy, not even really a grind at all!"

With double xp and respec still up.. Please trust me get 4/0/0/0 commando get every type of grenade you can use.
Get a full group hunt lvl 80 +
When you get there throw a c22 ( 30 sec wait ) boom you get the whole nest with double xp 10k regular still 5k per kill.. then get on your swoop take a few turns til they are all agroed off ya..
Or if ya got a bunch of tanks have them area attack them all....
I just caped 900k Combat xp in 3 lairs! 20 min!no lie now respec and get out there future jedis!
Do this in my group you will be booted in one second. I have no tolerance for doing other peoples grinding while they sit back and watch. I encourage all group leaders to boot people that use this selfish tactic.

You need to get guildies to help you - Its unfair to do this to a random group.
I used C-12's and waited till there was a mass spawn - threw the C-12 and feigned death (FYI if you fail to feign death, you just fall over so you need to hit KD recovery and try again)
Then - while i was on the floor My guildies killed the lair as normal - when there were fresh spawns i got up and helped out the normal way. On a LvL 82 I was collecting 15k combat exp per kill - so there really is no need to throw nades at everything - just the initial Spawn.
I'm lucky - as I have a great guild thats always happy to help others out - Plus we took in turns on the lairs - So while i threw the nade on the first - someone else did it on the second while I killed the normal way - Its a great way to cap Combat exp and also cap your weapons at the same time.
If you try to do this on a random group - or get greedy while doing it with guildies, you'll just annoy everyone and end up getting less exp in the end - Work with people and like us you can clear well over 2 million FS a day.
Even without double exp this is and always has been fastest way.

I tried this out last night with guildies. Here ws my approach. Run to lair, hit lair with gun to get aggro on me, throw nade(c22) at last second when creatures are around me. Now I wasnt hitting every creature plus I couldnt get everyone in radius. I noticed only 2 creatures out of the 6 I had around me gave me 11k combat exp. What is the deal I dont understand why it doesnt work

or: Get MBH with a combat xp max of 900k and buy C12's and do it the same way....lol, this proves you don't need to use Commando like a cheap hooker.

My melee template works out nice, instead of ranged, since I am gonna try and solo most of the novice boxes so I dont get eaten by the bh's with the visibility in group.
I have
Master Brawler/Master Swords , 0/4/4/0 pikeman , 4/1/0/4 TK and the rest are in my 4 trees of FS I currently have done.
I am able to hold 1.2 mil of 2 handed weapons, 1.2 mil of pikeman, and beofre I get about 600 k of unarmed I capp my combat xp. The double xp really made it jump.

good idea...but you'll aggro all the creatures if your buddies end up stop attacking and your stuck with 4 or 5 pikets attacking you at once...
the fastest way is to get MBH (3 weapon caps + combat xp) and ranger (1 mil cap)
you can grind two branches at once and you get 125K FS senses per cap of scouting
the 3 weapon caps also make it useful so you dont have to go to village until scouting is capped
