I had a 400K FSXP buff the other dayand my buff JUST ran out while cashing in at the village. I find myself having to fight Rancors, Night Sisters and SMC's that spawn close to my lairs...which really eats away at the grenade throwing time. I'm pretty sureI could hit that 500K mark if I could get a bunch of clean lairs during a buff session.
I posted the following in the "How to get 500KFSXP in one buff" thread and while it only documents earning 300Kper buff, I figured it might be helpful here.
Listed beloware the throw by throw results from my first full grenade grinding buff, as well as the equipment used.All I really did was keep track of each throw / lair in my3 hour and 15 minbuff.I didn't post this out of vanity or to receive helpful tips, just for your information.
My current template is:

Lairs:
Giant Baz Nitch Mission Lairs (5000 + 500 combat XP per GBN)

How? I'm getting 100k per buff. I'm Master TKa/Swords/Brawler and rest into medic. Seems I cap swords in about 1:30 then get 500k into TKA then head back to the village on a 2h 55m buff (What I have after I get mind buffed).

Well, not everyone is a swordsman #1. I am a TKM and began the grind with no commando or even any marksman. I capped unarmed in half a buff session with about 100k combat xp to go along with it. That averages 50k fs or 100k per buff session, but I had to kill 3 times as many creatures to get there. Then I decided after reading post here and there that it really does make more sense to kill 3 gurk nests on lok and earn 100k fsxp...takes me about 20 minutes. There is nothing about this grind that feels like "jedi" training, even if I were still doing unarmed...didn't feel like it.Just a matter of if you want to spend more time and work in the grind or doing something else. I can fill a branch quickly, and while waiting on the next one for unlock, I have time to spend with my friends and guildmates, out hunting, rping, and having fun. Less on the grind and more play.
/flame me .... but nade grinding makes jedi too easy to get....
..... i feel like ill get a lil agreement from the legendary and greatly respected "old-school-jedi"
what ya say guys?

Oh comenow - wheres the difference between grenades and swordsman (imo, swordsman is the lazy mans profession of choice). Just standing in the middle of a lair and using spin attack hardly elevates you above the grenade grinders.

Basically each lair gives 10-12k combat xp.
1) Join a solo group to make mission difficuty 99.( or at least with at-st : 65 - 70 difficuty with it )
2) get 2 missions of GIANT BAZ NITCHES ( same directions prefarably )
2) go first lair and hit lair 2-3 times till all baz nitches gather around you ( only 5 will be enganged )
3) Throw ur nades about 15 times( at least imp detonator , I recommend thermal detonator with dmg power up )
4) You will get 5.5k - 6k combat xp. leave lair alone.
5) Go to 2nd lair. Repeat 3 & 4.
6) Go back to 1st lair and repeat 3 & 4.
7) hit lair till its half destroyed. baz nitches will pop around again. till hit lair all 5 baz come out.
8) You will get 6k-8k till u destroy lair.
9) Go to 2nd lair and repeat.
10) You can make 20-24k combat xp with 2 missoins.
*note* If you are lucky and have some creatures around when u doing ur missoin. pull them and kill them with nades while u throwing ur nades into baz nitche lair.
you can make 30k combat xp with only 2 missons if u are lucky. Most of creatures on dathomir are vulnerable at nades ( thermal detonators )
But I dont think you can make over 400k fsxp EASY for 1 buff set. - I did only twice..
I'd made 7 mil fsxp with nades. ( unlocked only 1. but have whole fsxp I need yet )
So u can trust me
Good luck

Not sure about Reinerd getting 180k with just swordsman. However, I do get 190k but i'm master swordsman, TKM, 0/4/4/0 fencer with FS melee accuracy and FS melee speed. So what I do is cap out on all three melee professions then go trade in my xp for FS xp along with the combat xp.

How do you earn 2.7 million XP per buff? I can only get it to about 1.5 max on a normal buff.

We're talking COMBAT XP here folks. Not un-armed, 1 handed or 2 handed. Combat xp is a 3 to 1 trade in while any other XP is 30 to 1. Do the math. I can make 300K in "COMBAT XP" in 1 buff session. That wouldtranslate into 3 million un-armed, 1 handed or 2 handed XP and getting combat XP the old fashion way. Using Nades is FASTER then any other method to date. My best 2 handed XP ever was 700k. Trade that in for alittle over 23k of Force XP. I can make 300K COMBAT XP in the same buff time for a trade in of 100k Force XP.
Keep swinging there Mr. Swordsmen
