Thread: Clarification on Opening Tiers & ForceXP
All of the documentation that I've read says you can only open up the force sensitive tiers if you complete certain missions from people in the village. I grabbed the medical mission to open Enhanced Senses. I dug around a a little more and found that all I had to do was visit Noldan and he trained me on Enhanced Senses. While I was there, I also got trained on Enhanced Reflexes and Combat Prowess. I have 3 force sensitive tiers open and I didn't complete a single mission in the village. Does that sound right to you?
Another thing I'm having trouble understanding is Force XP. Mainly, how do you get it? I know I could just go out there and get normal XP and then convert it over to Force XP, but is there a way to get Force XP purely? If so, is it faster to get pure Force XP or just go after normal XP and convert it?
Thanx for the clarification.

After a little bit of time dealing with the documentation and playing around in the village, I actually started getting the hang of how it's set up. There are a couple of things that I still need a little clarification on, though.

Not familiar with the term 'tier' for FS stuff, but you should be able to train any of the novice boxes so long as you have the 50K of appropriate FS exp... what the missions unlock are the various branches of each tree... i.e. in phase 4 you can unlock the melee defensefor enhanced reflexes... so what you have so far makes sense

I have not found any pure FS exp... everything has to be converted
Thanx for the clarification.

What a lot of people are doing are just unlocking the phases, and then banking the xp as they go untill they are ready to fill all 6 at once. Mind you each box costs 1 sp I believe, so if you take a box as you go, if you are full templeted, you'll have to give in some of your skills.
The "phase" concept has been hard for me to grasp. I understand that certain things can only be unlocked during that specific phase. Let me write down what I think I understand and then you guys can tear it apart, tell me I'm an idiot, and then tell me what is correct.
Let's say I want Melee Defense branch of Enhanced Reflexes. I go and grind out enough XP to do that entire branch. It doesn't have to be during that specific phase. Then when that phase does come around, I pick up the right mission from a specific person in the village and complete it. This will allow me to then train in that branch. I take all of my XP that I've saved up and dump it into that branch all at once. I have successfully completely my Melee Defense branch.
Is this correct?

Basicly, you can only train (put xp into) a branch that you have unlocked. You can only do one quest per phase, and there are 3 unique quests each phase, creating a cycle(4 phases). You can train (put xp into) a branch anytime, as long as it's unlocked. (you don't have to rush to train an entire branch that phase)
You need 6 full branches, meaning 18 weeks minimum.(3 weeks per phase * 6 phases) (unless you get free unlocks from the old hologrind system)
Now to top it off, you can convert your xp anytime, and bank as much fs-xp as you want. Apparently no-one has hit a cap yet to my knowledge.
