I am now down to my final 2 boxes left in Combat prowess and would like some ideas and math behind the grind.

I am Master Swords/TKA 2/*/*/* and Doc */2/4/*. I do not have the time or the $$$$ to grind novice commando.

Can someone give me the math behind a regular Weapons XP grind. I would like to be done by Saturday.

if you are rebel, there is a place on corriella where ST spawn like meat lumps in a group of 4... kill em' and loot em' rinse and repeat... now you say you do not want to do nades, but why not use c12 nades? you are certed to use them without any combat skills at all...I was using them the other night against quenkers and was getting 5.5k combat per kill...

- I support keeping & balancing the current combat system You can too

my advice would be to do the following

1) grind out the rest of tkm - so that you have master swords, and tkm

- tkm is not the best for this, but in order to get the xp the fastest, you will need 2 master combat professions (preferrably melee so you can cap your xp for 2 profs and save time in travelling back and forth to the village)

2) group with someone - even if they're not around you - a guild mate, an entertainer friend, or some random person you find.

- grouping gives an xp bonus

- go to the squill caves on tat (near 0,0 if you don't know)

- run through the caves until you have several squill surrounding you (the more the better - i'm told the bigger the swarm, you get an xp bonus)

- spin attack until your clicking finger falls off

- rinse

- repeat

- as I understand it, tkm is not the best profession for squill (although I haven't looked at their resists lately) but definately with swords, they will go down within 1-2 swings of your hammer.

I know people who have done this (with master swords/master pike) and have capped both professions xp 3x in a buff session.

3) if the squill cave is too busy - which it often is - and you can't grind late at night/early morning when the server is less populated, try heading up into the north west1/4 of dathomir and find rancor lairs (also not the best bet for tkm - but then.. what is?)

I will probably try also the C12's. I know they do take alot longer then Imp nades which i did for a while then dropped it for the Healing quest grind. Anyone know with just capping Weapons 900k and what ever you get in combat xp, how many times and how much FS xp can i get per buff?

lets say you do go TKM and MSM... if you go back to the village when you get all three things capped out (TKM, MSM, Combat) you will get around 160k force experience... if you are a true grinder, you can get all three of these capped in about half a buff's period...

- I support keeping & balancing the current combat system You can too

my mehtod is if you use c12s along with your weapons to get the 300k combat capped... because I know for a fact you can cap TKM and MSM and will only have around 150k combat XP...

- I support keeping & balancing the current combat system You can too

I'm kinda short on SP and would like to keep Doc */2/4/* so that i can buff my self. What will be xp be like if i just cap weapons and what ever combat xp i get with that cap?I know its slow but i would like to finish by Saturday think its doable?

130k force experience per village visit... if you cap your swords at 900k and your combat at 300k...

300,000 Combat Experience --> 100,000 Force Experience

900,000 Swords Experience --> 30,000 Force Experience

900,000 Unarmed Experience --> 30,000 Force Experience

- I support keeping & balancing the current combat system You can too

thats if you cap your combat... lets say you just cap swords at 900k and your combat only gets to about 75k... thats only 55k force experience per village visit... so I highly suggest you cap your combat XP off of c12's if you can...

I hope that my posts helped you man, but I got to head to class now... good luck... feel free to message me at flurry.moric (or how ever you do that corss server /tell)

if you don't change any of your template around.. your grind will be extremely slow.

capping weapon xp at 900k (30k fs xp), you will get about 100kcombat xp (30-ish k fs xp).

at which time you cap, you will spent atleast 20 minutes each time travelling from your grinding spot, to the village, and back again.

let's say it takes you and hour and 1/2to cap your swords xp, that means you spend the next 1/2 hr or so gaining no xp. This means, you just spent 2 hours to get a whopping 60k xp. how much xp do you need? close to a million? (1mil / 60k) *2 hrs per cap= 16 trips to the village = 32 hrs (or so) of grinding/travel

if you spend the time to master tkm (should be easy since you're already 1/3rd of the way there (already have novice), you can be much more efficient with your time, and if you get lucky (and your grinding spot is empty) - or you don't care what other people think, and attempt to kill every squill in the cave - could cash in as much as 120k (capping both weapon xp's and combat xp)fs xp every 2 hours + travel time (so say 2h 20m).

(1 mil / 120k) * 2.3 hrs per trip = 8 trips to the village =19 hours or so of grinding

even if you're a slow grinder, and it takes you 3 hrs to cap both your weapons xp, and combat xp - you still save a huge amount of time that would otherwise be wasted flying/driving back and forth.

so.. by saturday? which seems more feasible based on your schedule ?

** I'm not a math major, so my numbers could be completely wrong - lol - but the theory stays the same - with 2 combat profs, you spend less time in travel, capping more xp per trip, thus, wasting less time driving back an forth to the village.

i think just regular way without killing my self is good enought. I wanted to finish by saturday so if i make 2 visits to the village

that would give me 260k FS xp per day. Times that by x3 and i have 780FS xp alittle more then what i need.
