I didn't see a post like this before... and its probably going to be bumpped off the front page before anyone looks twice at it, but I'm sure someone out there will be thankful that I made some calculations they either didn't know how to make, or didn't want to.

It takes 220,500,000 weapons exp to gain 7,350,000 (30:1 ratio)reflexes or combat FSexp *which works out to 6 branches worth boxes 1 through 4.* This assumes all 6 branches will be in the combat or reflexes sections.

This seems sad... but you get an up side!!! You really only need 3,675,000 FS xp, if you change combat exp at the same time!!! . If you trade in combat exp at the same time as weapons exp you will gain the exact same amount of force exp, thus my conclusion.

Each trip out to the village, you should make when you cap 2 different (or 3 if you're really smart) weapon exp types. For ranged professions *the majority of us* the cap is now 1.2million exp. It used to be 900k, so there is a 300k difference... *1/3, very significant*. I hear non-ranged professions cap out at 1.5mill so... feel free to check it... but to my knowledge 1.2mill is the max for them. You gain 1/10th of combat exp per ranged exp. Thus, per 1.2mill, you will gain 120k combat exp. It is my recommendation you take up 2 different types of ranged weapons xp to gain the most possible from your character. I have taken pistols and carbines. This will enable you to gain 2.4million weapons exp, and 240k combat exp (the cap for combat exp is 300k... so you're almost there anyways).

This means you will obtain 160,000 FS exp per run to the village

All in all, not including the exp required to unlock thetree (ie: Combat Prowess), you should have roughly 46 trips to the village of capped exp. 45.9375 is the actual calculated number... so... lets round up to 50, and say not more than 50 trips to finish off your Jedi slot. Now the run to and from the village takes 30 minutes (to go both ways)so... you have 50 x 30minutes = 1500minutes which ends up being 25 hours in pure running around on your speeder bike alone. It is said to take 40 minutes to cap 1 exp branch *like pistols exp*, so to do 2 would be 80 minutes... 50 x 80minutes = 67 hours. This end total is 92 hours after getting glowy and everything... Thats not a lot... it sounds like it is, but for a game... its really not. This also includes no downtime... so its probably going to be about 130 hours. You could do it in a month. For myself... I'm just handing in scout exp and medic xp at the same time I go to hand in my carbines exp... so it will be a few less trips for myself... I'm sure theres other guides out there, but I think this ones the first one to kinda go through how long its going to take you... any questions or comments toss me a reply, thanks for reading.

I do between 6.8 and 7.1k a kill, cap my rifle at 1.2M and then my pistols and carbs at 900k before I make a village trip. That extra 10% or whatever from entertainers should not be underestimated - when you have hundreds of millions of xp to do, it adds up to a few hours saved.

Although, pshaw, double-xp is on, so you could prolly grind out all the quests you have and then cap fsxp (does it cap? at what?) if you got a serious grind on this weekend.
