Thread: My Favourite Grind Method....A Walkthrough (now I've finished)

I was going to post this same thing but a little modified.. as a rebel

First modification is I get 160k FS xp in 2 hours 18 minutes. Time is averaged amongst 10 seperate grind sessions at the "faster" of the 3 spawns of imperial troopers.

Second: By staying to get the extra 120k combat xp to give you the full 160k FS xp I get anywhere from 15-20k faction. So its a lil better.

Thirdly: your post is wrong.. You would have to master 3 different professions in order to do more than 160k FS xp. And at best you get 190k FS xp. Reason: 900k/30=30k 30k times 3 professions = 90k. And you can only master 3 of the professions. And combat xp is 300k/3k=100k 100k+90k=190k

So im assuming typo and he meant 160k.

Anywho yeah it works. This is faster than the commando trick for me anyways because before I unlocked the melee speed tree it took me 2.5 hours to cap 900k unarmed, and 900k 2 handed and get about 200-230k combat xp. Now in LESS time I get more xp and more faction.

Fourthly: I do not use area attacks for TKA. I find using unarmedHit3 in combination with unarmedknockdown2 works far faster. (2-3 hits max on any given stormie) However you may be sitting there the entire time while I sit afk watching movies. I just let my char go at it for 2 hours come back and set him up again. my macros contain this:

Swordsman: cycle target macro, attack macro, loot macro, center macro. In the cycle macro I also include intimidate2 and taunt. intimidate to stop them from ruining my armor and taunt to keep them on me instead of running. Again Ive tested it to be faster. my attack macro for swordsman is simple: /melee2hSpinAttack2;/pause .75;/m 2hspin; pause of 1 or greater needed for non master brawlers/non melee speed tree chars. The loot macro not only targets the corpse, loots them but it also targets my next opponent instead of waiting for the other cycle macro to do it. again improving speed. And obviously a center of being macro to keep me centered all the time.

Teras Kasi Master: cycle target macro (slightly longer pauses than swordsman), knockdown macro which is /unarmedknockdown2;/pause 4;/m kd; , attack macro which is simply : unarmedHit3;/pause 1;/m uh3;, loot macro exactly same one used in swordsman, and the center of being macro modified for tka's lesser duration of center.


to cap out 900k of tka it takes me approximately an hour. can be less at times. to cap out 900k of swordsman it takes me 40 minutes or less. And like i said 2 hours 18 minutes to finish up on combat xp (of course I start with tk to get it out of the way and use swordsman to wrap the whole situation up).

Well only about 15% of players read the forums and so far I've seen only rebels there on Starsider and those were the ones that knew about it before it was posted here..

Just a note on the TEF.

You will get a temporary TEF but only a DECLARED opposing faction can target you.

If you're an IMP and a Reb is there don't worry unless they are OVERT.





This place does spawn Rebel 1st Lieutenants so a covert Rebel can go overt there whereas I have not seen any Imperial officers there to go overt as an Imperial.

Could this method work with a ranged prof like rifleman? Using strafe shot 2 and stuff? I dont care for the loot or credits.

One possible problem is that you will wait much longer for the re-spawn. By looting they re-spawn almost instantly.

Yes Using a Rifleman is possible but you must find a friend willing to gobble up all the loot for you..Just make him stand next to the spawn and loot with the macro add /tar corpse so it selects the dead ones and quickly loots them so you can keep killing.

Hope that helps.

rofl i did this today, got about 10mins of grinding when a cm came along with "bloodfin's best mind poison", which was only like 400strength (not the best), and poisoned me. she didn't think of shooting me with her little geo pistol so i made it to the river safely! haha rebels haha!

gonna have to bring a gank squad to counter their gank squad next time lol


Edit: hehe forgot to put the quote up there, was quoting "the tef sucks, I take the imp spawn closest to the river.... burst run when any overt comes to ruin my fun, and soak in the water. " hehe
