Hey,
I have finally convinced myself to start grinding away at FS for the simple reson that im getting bored of pvping atm. So just for inspiration id like to know how long it took some of you to get finished with FS. The fastest i heard was some guy did it in 2 days. 48 hrs non stop grinding. And if some other people did that, did you start from nothing or did you get some free rows?

48 hours is a little hard to believe but I guess it's possible to get a line in 48 hours with high level grenades, imperial detonators at the very least.
As for the FS it's not the grind that slows you down, it's the 3 months you have to wait for the quest cycle to complete if you get no free unlocks.
6 lines, one quest every 3 weeks, 6x3 = 18 weeks minimum once you factor in server downtime. In reality you're looking at about 3 months. If you're going down this route and wish to avoid hitting the cancel subscription button go grind out commando field tactics and dump the rest of your points in a profession you can have some fun with and possibly think about JTL if you haven't got it already, being able to do something other than grind your FS boxes without logging out will help you to no end.

U cant grind all 6 FS tree´sin 48h coz u can only unlock 1 tree every village phase. So if u didnt get any freewhen u turned FSu have atleast 6 phases wait and theychange every 3 weeks... Perhaps they unlocked all tree´s then grinded for 48H to fill them with FS Xp. Sounds pretty boring imo

still impossible. leaving time for buffs, you could only cap your combat xp about 19-20 times in 24 hours straight. That means he'd have 38-40 caps in 2 days straight of playing (which is impossible anyway just because of random server issues, sleep, food, etc...unless his chair was a toilet and had precooked meals inside). ANYWAY you need to cap combat xp 73.5 times total to fill 6 trees. The only possibility is if he had 4 or 5 free unlocks, and had done 2 missions at the village. That would leave only 1 or 2 trees to grind away (only 25 combat xp caps) so it would be possible in 48 hours. that's it

Honestly if you are only going to grind the village you don't need to do it in 48 hrs. Don't forget you have 3 weeks plus give or take 2-4 extra days per phase. It is easily done in that time unless you play like a couple times a week and only 3 hrs a week. Time wise I don't know. I would grind then do other stuff then grind and finish it all by next phase. The main thing you want is to finish 1 branch then bank 1 to save for the last phase you have. I was a tkm and would cap out reg xp and combat xp in a buff session of 3 hrs. So about 130k fs xp i would get per 3 hrs.

I sat down for 12 hours, at least a good 10.5 hours of hard grinding, and did a whole tree, Melee defense.
Been master commando FOREVER. My first mastered and never surrenderd, this is my reward for being incredibly weak for a very long time.
Protons rule btw. I can max and still have 5-7 nade stacks left.

You can unlock one branch (four vertical boxes) every phase. Each phase lasts 3 weeks. Current phase has a little over one week left. So you can get your six unlocked branches in about 16 weeks.
Even though you may not be able to unlock another branch during any given phase, you can still grind xp. So you can fill in the branches when you unlock them.
I amNOT a Commando Grenade Freak, I am a Master Rifleman. I use buffs, brandy and ahrisa. I go to endor. Takes me about 53-58 minutes to cap 900K rifle xp. So just over an hour with travel time to the village, etc. A lot of the MOBs on Endor poison and disease, so I also picked up TK 4000 for healing (ended up getting TKM too... but don't use it much for the grind).

Well maybe if ur a combat grinder but some people r med/artisian grinders and in that case u'd need a bike to get across the NS and all the other guys out there.but once u get there if ur an artisian grinder either stay INSIDE the village or,unless u can't fight, go out and pray u don't run into some death MoBs.now for med grinding it's pretty easy,just kick back inside the place and heal people(phase 4 of HS) or heal NPCs(phase 1 of HS).peronally if u get into the HS grind i'd suggest getting merchant.u get a lot of xp quick,u don't even need to work on it really,and u get 1 HS xp for 4 merchant xp which is a lot unless ur a BH which give 1(what ever it's for) for 1 BH xp
