I think I have 21 trips left. I'll admit, I've just been having fun with it. I try to hit a minumum of 600k experience per night as a goal and just generally have fun with the game. I will get there. And doing the Bol count has made it entertaining for me too so if you feel like doing that just take the amount of FS experience you have left to getand divide it by 187.8.
ok then going by this my 28 trips to the village to trade in equals the 13,213 bols I still have to kill.
anyone need a river . . . cause here comes the tears lol
But see. You are ahead of me by 400 Bols.

Everyone needs to calculate it in a way that for them parcels the grind off into nice manageable ATTAINABLE chunks. If that means you calculate how many bols for the next box, or how many trips for the whole 6 branches, or how many crafted rifle barrels per trip. Set small goals and achieve those milestones, and soon they'll add up. For me, it helped that every day I updated a whiteboard with a percentage close to finish.
What's interesting (although probably not all that helpful here, sorry) is that now combat xp is 30:1,the FS grind is now officially longer than the Jedi grind. I did some math, and if you do all combat-related FS branches, you will need 203.2 millionweapons xp along with it's accompanying10% combat xp in order toconvert 7.45 million FS xp. A complete double mastery Jedi grind is 36,460,000 Jedi xp (if you never lose to a BH),andis gained at approx. one-fifth the rate of normal weapons xp, the equivalent of 182.3 million weapons xp.
The FS grind is 3800 bols longer that the Jedi grind. So, chin up. Finish FS and you're more than halfway there.
3800 Bols more than Jedi? I'm not surprised. I'm glad to see everyone calculating their Bols though. Now if I can only find some way to word the Bol count to sound like that Total cereal commercial.
By the way. I dont have a white board but I did make a spread sheet that automatically updates the estimated completion date and the current Bol count. It also has a list of the FS skills I havent gotten and conditionally formats them to change cell color when I've achieved the experience for them. (I was real bored one night when Radiant was down) Currently, my estimated completion data is January 16th of next year. That's if I keep my average grind amount to 600k per day.
