Likely never...

When you realize that starship or pilot skills take no skill points there's very little chance of getting any conversion for it.


Of course politician doesn't take points anymore either, but the rate at which you get politician xp is so slow that it doesn't matter.


Now a more reasonable question is when Shipwrights will be able to trade in their XP for FS Crafting XP... Shipwright does take skill points and is the only crafting profession that cannot be traded in at all.

Since the village was specificially designed to allow non-combat characters the possibility of getting Jedi, which was NOT the case under the hologrind, I'd say never.


It seems somewhat obvious you've never done crafting for the village.


Given the rate at which you get FS Crafting XP compared to Combat Prowess or Enhanced Reflexes even with the conversion rate that most crafting professions have, crafters have a much much much longer road to Jedi than a combat toon.


In a group you can get 5k weapon based XP in seconds killing a CL80 MOB. Even at 30:1 that translates to 183 FS XP (including the resultant Combat XP conversion at 30:1). A Weaponsmithcan make a couple of Sword Cores in about the same time. For that he gets about 50 Weapon Crafting XP, or 10 FS Crafting XP. Let's not even mention the millions of resources you need as a crafter to go that route.


Architects and Shipwrights can get their profession crafting XP much faster, but guess what? Architects get a 35:1 ratio for conversion which is worse than yours, and Shipwrights can't trade in Starship Crafting XP at all.


As a Pistoleer you get 183 XP in the time the Weaponsmith gets 10 XP, and you have an issue with crafters gettingJedi?!


Sounds like you thought crafting your way to a Jedi was taking the "easy" way out... guess again bud...
