The cost of Grenades is all dependant on the server, on my server we only pay 50k a crate for Imperil Detonators when i was grinding...

ok i have about 3 weeks till phase switch then i will have all skills unlocked. Unfortunately i have only 2 novice boxes done (conbat prowress and Enhanced Reflexes) as well as 2 tier 1 skill boxes filled. I am currently commando 4xxx and was wondering if anyone could give me a time frame in which it is possible for me to grind the xp needed. M aybe like for the peeps that all ready completed the grind using nades can tell me how long it took them. I HAVE heard that one person did 4.5 mill xp in under 2 weeks

well first off make sure you have ALOT of credits. the nade grind is fast but very exspensive. ask around for a good cheap weaponsmith, then find a good master smuggler who work cheap. get you nade cretes slice, i do 2 cretes at a time; use those 2 up then go and get sliced again. i can nade grind with those 50 nades and earn some cash for next slicing. also you'll need to find nade pups. basically i spend anywhere from 70-90k per crete. i've read it takes 10-12 cretes per FS tree. it wont take that much for me cause what i do is rifle grind, then TK grind total so far after exchange is 120k FS but it's onyl 180k combat left over till 300k combat, so that last 180k combat i do nade grind. it takes me,(IF I FIND A BIG GROUP) about 6 hours to max out all 3 TK, Rifles, and combat. bascially 2 buff sesions. now i could go faster, about 300FS in 3 hours, but that costs a lot of money for nades, slicing , pups, and armor. ALSO make sure you have a melee prof. dont have to be master, but at least have to have you melee def as high as you can. I am 0444 TK, with enhanced reflex melee def done i have total of 129 melee def. and when you do the nade grind, make sure you melee weapons is armed and NOT a ranged weapon. melee def only kicks in with melee weapons. dont ask me why, that's just how it is. reason for having melee def high is cause when doing nade grind the creature will crowd around you and use melee attacks. this is where melee def comes in and helps, and trust me it helps. i tried the grind before i had any tk skills and died six times in one day. i found out that i was dying cause of low melee def.

You gotta watch out for combat exp payouts too. With my flamethrower equipped i get 5.4k per baz nitch kill, with my VK equipped I get 4.3k each. That's one word of advice for you. As far as timeline, I get about 100k FS exp per hour. That's 3.5missions worth of baz nitches. Takes about 9-10 nades per lair, so 35 nades per capout. You need 7.2mill exp to unlock, so that's 72 capouts? That means about 100 crates of nades and will take about 72 hours of actually combat. That doesn't count healing time and travel to/from village. So gotta figure about 120hours at the very least

20 mil should be more than enough, but why spend it all when you could spend it wisely. buy 10 cretes at a time, get them sliced 2 at time and but 10 cretes of pups at time, this way not only are you saving money, but you are also saving space in your inventory. when you run out , buy more, if none are available, just do you regular profession grind until they do become available. you'll start to notice the mas amounts of FS you have, and money you are saving.

7 weeks with some good grind sessions and some days off
I did that capping 1 time per buff - once per day
and had one marathon weekend to get 1.25 mil in a weekend
After that I had lots of time to get the hero ring from Tatooine

Nades are the way to go....with nades i can get a whole line in about 2-3 days grinding for about 1 buff session each day.

ok my math comes out way better than yours so can anyone check this for me:
300k Combat xp cap 3 times per buff=300 FS xp=1/4 1FS Branch
i do this every buff so if i get 1 branch every 4 days= 20 days. but on the weeksendsi can get 1 branch in 1 day so i should be on pace to get ALL 6 tress in less than 3 weeks right?
I think i have 2 more weekends before the next phase change and probably about 18 days total so i should get the exp i need right?
