If you are also smuggler then I would still Pup them, on my server I was buying crates of +33% damage Pups for 1.5k, seen them range between 1-4k though, but when you look at the cost of a crate of imp dets (on my server I was buying them from 80-150k) another few K isn't really worth worrying about.

As for whether you should slice them, if you've got the time and the space to store them all then I would go for it, an increase in throwing speed is always gonna be useful and an increase in damage is even better.

Luckily I dont have to go through that anymore, as of 11pm last night I banked my last lot of FS xp, just waiting for the phase shift so I canunlock melee accuracy and then wait for that old codger.

Ok I didn't read all the replies in this thread but I read a few that said thermals are better.

Trust me on this, Imp dets are much better for killing giant baz nitches. I tested both types of nades extensively and found that powered up Imp dets pwn baz nithces. Imp dets do more damage, but thermals have a bigger blast radius which is unimportant because the blast radius that Imp dets have is very sufficient to get the job done.

Power ups are cheap, even on Bria, so I'm sure they will be on your server too.

After going from C12's and finally settling on Imp dets, I flew through the rest of my grind. Happily grinding to Jedi Knight now.

Have fun

Thermal detonators

I made 2 mil fsxp with imp detonators and 3 mil with thermal detonators.

I will tell u how to make good fsxp with less usage of grenades.

1) get in good sologroup ( for 99 difficulty mission )

2) get GBN mission. Go to lair.

3) Hit lair once. then u will see 5 giant baz nitches around you.

4) Hit lair till 80%. you will see 3-5 more spawns. but they won't engage you until u kill any of previous 5 engaged monster around you.

5) But you can engange them more than 5 at once. hit non-enganged mob with lunge or taunt. You can engange more than 10 baz nitches with this method.

6) Throw thermal and enjoy killing.

I've seen 4k dmg with thermal detonator+power up kit. but I've never seen 4k dmg with imp+powerup kit.

If you can afford thermal , go for it. its the BEST.

Protons 4tw >

be a real commando!

i use 3 proton grenades on a lair pupped upto about 4.3k damage - can hit baz nitches for 6-7k with 1 nade - cratescost me 100k tops each and much better value for money for me as i use far fewer protons than imps per lair.

I used c12's c22's imp and thermals. BY FAR the best are THERMAL on Biz Natches I get easily 200k per 2 lairs. I dont know what the deal is but my testing showed THERMAL to be the best by far. My 2 cents.....

How do you get 100k per lair? I only manage 50k

Each lair gives more than 10k if you have 99 difficulty mission.

How?

Get 2 missions (must be 99 difficulty mission)

Once you get close to lair, you will see 5 or 6 baz nitches around lair. You start throwing grenades onto lair itself.

Total 11-12 baz spawns at 1st wave with 99 difficulty.

Lets calculate it.

1 giant baz niches gives max 5.5k combat xp.

12 gbz= 66k combat xp.

Then head to next mission ( you have to leave 1st mission lair for next full spawns )

Do it again. Now you make 132k combat xp.

Come back to 1st lair. Do it again.

This time total 10-14 giant baz niches will spawn ( If you hit lair under 50% , 5 or 6 more spawn )

With this method you can make more than 100k combat xp out of each lair.

I thought he meant 100k every time he visit the lair X_X. Oh well i do the same thing myself. I hit the lair once, peace out and then stand in the center and throw grenades. Once they've all gone (typically 50+k for me though) i'll head to the next lair and come back once i've finished that one.
