May I ask why you all are waiting for Phase III?
No FS skills help you on any of your Jedi Skills. Not even experimentation.
Only thing the Village is good for as a Jedi (beyond getting you on the BH boards a lot)is the crystals and items you can get. But you can get those anytime you want. Im Almost a Temp Complete Jedi and I do the Village each phase. Although now that I don't have regular combat skills I need to use my LS which gets me on the BH Boards in about 5 minutes.

Of all the things a jedi need Premium Pearls take up about 80% of that all. And 18% is food.
Theremaining 2%is saber-resources, holocrons, clothing and all what not.
NS crystals are also premium, but NS hit harder and they are harder to find too. Besides they have a much lower chance to drop a crystals than a krayt will drop a pearl. And last but not least pearls generally (will prolly always) tune better than crystals. Don't bother getting flawless (too expensive, too hard to get and tune the same as premiums) or qualities (tune like sh1t).
Get a swordsman to tank, shoot the giant krayt with 2 rifleman and you can kill em in a couple of minutes. If you do that about 2 or 3 hours a day you'll get 1 or 2pearls a day.
In total I looted (had no money to buy, besides a have a swordsman and a rifleman) 14 Premium Pearls and 2 Premium Crystals (NS Elder for fun and Akxva).
9 of the Pearls tuned to -9 FC. They have 48, 46, 44, 43, 42, 41, 37, 34 and 25 damage. The ones with 42 and 25 damage have the lowest (-9.5) FC and the 46 has the highest FC (prolly -9 or maybe -8.9 or so.) The other 5 prems tuned to -8 49, -7 43, -7 35 and I destroyed the 2 others cause they tuned to -5 FC.
Both the crystals tuned considerably worse than all the pearls: -5 25 and -6 32
But when you get enough nice -9 FC pearls to make a 10 FC saber you're pretty much done with that. However it's very handy to have another set for a one handed saber. Those mindhits come in pretty handy against Bounty Hunters. Normally a double bladed is better, but sometimes their mind is just very low and easy to drop below zero and of course they can't heal it.
And prolly the most important things during grinding:
- especially on Dantooine: watch the radar closely for NPCs and players. Avoid them at all costs. Always stand next to your speeder so you can instantly and rapidly increase the distance between you and theplayer or NPCyou want to avoid.
- don't be a hero. A jedi has no armor and when you advance in skills you will lose all the melee defense, def vs KD and melee mitigation too. You'll get hit hard and often and unless you have a doc nearby you'll lose 200k XP.

All the above posts are useful . But no one told you the truth about what you really need.
Take a break fromgrinding.
You are putting youself into a stressful new grinding that's way harder than the easy FS one.
If u don't do this you will be bored after 1-2 months of the jedi grinding and you'll realize that your paddy will lose 100% of the duels against a melee figheter.
Do this man!

i gotta question of my own. after im done banking this xp, i plan on taking a lil time to grind out a decent templete for me to use while im in the initiate and up phase.
question is, should i go with this master fencer/master tk and 0-0-2-0 medic with 4-0-0-4 prowess and 4-4-4-4 reflexes, or should i substitute one of those combat templetes with sworsdsman (a speed capped swordsman would be a nasty surprise for a bh) oh and master brawler of course. and then just drop skills ad needed.

considering how far it will be for the next phase due to the CU Id prob get jedi fast as possible and not worry with ranged def or whatever melee speed i've heard dosen't help either

this is what i will be doing. this week, im getting scout 4 x x x, medic 2 x 4 x (mebbe 4 x 4 x). I'm already a TKM. I still have to do my final unlock, but I have the xp for it. I will do my final quest Thursday, if Lowca shifts then, but most likely next Sunday. I will probably then not get Padawan and Novice Saber until one month before CURB.
I'm gonna grind as much as possible on LS and let the CURB determine how I spend the rest of my time on SWG. If grinding is no longer much of an option, then I may give up on Jedi grinding all together and just play on my alt

well
medic 0020 works for nothing more than medic 0000. You can use B stims at medic 0000. I suggest here medic 4200 with B stimps or medic 0240 with D stimps, it's almost the same but B stimps are cheaper. I heal myself for 1200 damage with medic 4200 and 420-B-stimps
TKA master is almost a MUST and TKA 4004 is something you will love to have as long as you can. No points here.
Scout 4000 is really usefull for both terrain neg and maskscent ability. Having to fight 1 animal at a time or the whole red dots makes the difference!
The second melee profession is optional and you will surrender if very soon as the 5 novice boxes take 40SP that's a lot. Don't waste time in it if you have to grind it up to master.
Read the guidelines in the Jedi forum ... there are some very accurate.

i have to wait for phase 3because i need to unlock 2 more branches 1 in phase 2 (melee speed) and 1 in phase 3 (ranged defence) and from the notes ive read on the cu it looks like it wont go live till early may and phase 3 should come round jus before that so hopefully i will unlock before the cu hits.

Get
TKM
Medic 4/4/4
and some good Stim Ds.
With that u can start area spamming at ls 0/0/1/0.
While u have tkm, ur biggest bh preditor will be the ranged type. Having tkm allows u to kill them easily as they have low melee defence so dizzy kd and spam hit 3. U will also be able to heal urself upto 2000, so with piketta pie, u can easily do higher level missions almost risk free.

Easy to say, hard to do.
When the BH comes almost never you will see it because you are checking your ham, the animal ham, the other animals around ... maybe you are half damaged ...
If the BH comes with burstrun + openfire + carbineer or pistol stat mods you will be dizzy/down before you realize the BH is attacking you. Lag is not helping you here. Animals around you is an other problem for you.
More: Your saber has a speed of 5.0 if doubleblade. This means that even if you see the BH, you can have a delay of3-4 seconds due to the saber attack you are using. That's why you can almost never peace when you are driven by a guy on a speeder and in the same case you will take 2-3 shots from the BH before you can do anything. Try it to belive.
You need to be LS 0044 to start having some chance with the saber speed/block in action.
Area attack at LS0010 suck. The spin1 attack is too slow and low damage to be of any help. Leg hit and hit1 are better.
Medic 4440 is great with D stimps. But it costs 57SP!! I love my 4200 with B stimps
