I've heard a lot of many different answers from the moronic jedi on my server.



I'm combat lvl 19 and I'm about to turn glowy. So I'll be at the village here soon. My question is, how long will it take for me to reach initiate?



I have been told 10-12 weeks, which is fine by me. But then a friend of mine told me 6 months....6 months? What the heckis that about? I see guys running around that would appear as total retards if they weren't jedi, and I question how could they go for something for 6 months? They probably cant remember something 6 months ago.


Anyway, please tell me based on my combat lvl 19 (novice BH and novice Pistoleer), and the fact I have a lot of time on my hands to grind, how long it will take to reach jedi initiate. thank you.

Well if you have enough time to grind the necessary xp in each phase so you're ready for the next one, then you are probably looking at around 20 weeks, as its roughly 3 weeks per phase, of which u have to do at least 6, and you still need to have your intro quests for the village once you hit glowy. Also you need to add in to the equation server downtimes, updates etc.

Concentrate on making it to glowy and work on getting your combat level up while you wait for your old man visit, then just go for it. The village quests are not overly hard, well a couple are harder than others, but you should be fine with a good template. It really all comes down to how much time you have to grind the xp in between phase quests.

It's a long slog but get used to it, jedi is longer! But trust me, its a great feeling when you kneel in front of that shrine after you've completed your last Padawan trial, and the Star Wars theme music starts blasting out!

Good luck

12 weeks is definatly impossible due to the fact that you have to unlock 6 branches, 1 branch can be unlocked evry 3 to 4 weeks ish, so at the VERY INSIDE its going to take 18 weeks to unlock your jedi, also bear in mind you have to get Force sensative xp to fill your unlocked branches, it converts from normal xp at a rate of 30:1 or something like that, id say with your combat level 19 its going to take much much longer than 18 weeks,this is a very rough outline of a very complex system, theres plenty of info out there on village phases and times ect, but my advice to you is to vastly improve your combat rating !

you need 1225000 fs xp per bransh wich is 7350000 + 100k for novice boxes = total 7450000
you get half combat xp and h alf weapon xp. and weapon xp is 1:30


you will need 111,750,000 weapon XP of that you will also get 11,175,000 Combat Xp as needed
if you exchange all that in the CORRECT Xp type you will have what you need

as cap is 1.2m you will need to cap 93.5 times

depends on how quick you can cap your xp..


now i did my grind pre CU. so i'm sorry if this does not convert well but this you should just need to use abit of maths..


my profs caps were (Based on Combat and Reflex boxes)


900k prof xp and 90k combat xp for a cap. This then turned into 60k Force Sensitive xp.


In order to get a complete line, i needed 1,225,000 force xp. that meant i had to cap my prof 20 times


to complete the whole grind from glowy to jedi i had to cap 120 times plus 3 extra for novice boxes..


my grind averaged 1.43caps a day meaning it took me 86 days (12 weeks) to complete grind.


I hope that helps you gain an idea

For those of you who didn't know ... Master ranger is the way to go with a 1.2 mill xp cap as well ... not including trapping if you do that but may mess up your full xp amount for combat professions you can get all 4 branchs of senses in about 24.5 caps (not including novice box) when I convert I get 150k xp per convert on top of my 120k minimum for combat skills ... being master BH I can cap all 3 ranged at 900k and combat will be around 270k :-) works great I'll be jedi soon as I unlock those stupid branchs hehe

Assuming you're now glowing, then first you must wait for the first visit of the old man. He comes around after 24h to 76h for the first visit. Just make sure you're not in an npc town, not fighting to talk to him and have place left in inventory to get the crystal. Fastest thing I got is waiting for him by my house sorting my inventory and chatting with guildies.
Then comes en attack from 3 sith, pre CU you could solo them very easy without buffs. Make sure to loot them after you killed them all to avoid some bugs to get the next item of the quest and a wp.
At the wp is a Sith camp still pre CU no need for buffs to take them out and you will get the wp for the village in you quest journal.

Those 3 things I did in a few hours solo.

Then heading to the village for the first time, yes long annonying voyage but you'll do it more often after

Now comes the time for the quests. All quests unlock 1 skill tree in the fs branches and you will have to complete 6 full tree to move on to initiate. Theory says that all 3 weeks the shift changes but practicly is over 4 weeks. Shift change comes after 3 weeks of uptime of the server and shifts on next restart of the server after those 3 weeks. SO you will need something around 18 to 24 weeks.

So easyierst way is to do the quest everytime phase shifts at the beginning so you can group with other players to do it and for the rest of the time to get the fs xp go hunt with a group an cap all your xps before traveling to the villages (saves times in travels) Remeber that you can cap nearly all xps some items only need only combat level to equip them. Most xp caps at 1,2 mil if you're master in it else it's around 900k and combat xp caps at 300k.
The rates of fs xp you get changes combat is 10:1, most other at 30:1, better ratio is crafting, medic and bh xp but you can't trade them in for combat fs skills.

Hope this helps you out
