Ok, im working on the Search and Destroy and realized they put a HUGE timesink on this Jedi thing... and its not one that can be avoided.

Making you wait24 hours to do more of the mission is garbage...but besides that.....


Im reading up on the phases and such and understandI need to unlock 6 branches to become Padawan....not a big deal.

BUT!! ....if i can onlydo one quest perphase, am i right in saying it will take a minimum of 18 weeks for someone to become a padawan?


Please tell me this is not true andI am overlooking something on the guides here in the forums.

It takes an average of 18 weeks.

Technically, if you start on the last day of a phase and do the quest and finish it, it will take you less time.


Quest 1

The next day, Quest 2

3 weeks after, Quest 3

3 weeks later, Quest 4

3 weeks later, Quest 5

3 weeks later, Quest 6


So the very fastest you can do it, is 12 weeks BUT, add do that server down time which delays the phase change, you're looking at probably 15-18 weeks to unlock the 6 branches. If you can get the XP to fill them out that fast (6 x 1.225 mil converted XP), then that's the time it'll take.


But it'll take you at least 13 weeks, most probably 15-18 *if* you can get enough XP to train all 24 skills.

That is sooo stupid. So basicallyI only have to log on once every 3 weeks... do a quest and log off. Then on the 17th week i can finally start grinding in prep for the 18th week where i can finally become a padawan...because grinding before the 17th week is useless... You can have 12000000 FS xp or 300 FS xp and you STILL wont be a padawan unless you waited out the 6 phases.


Screw that. This is crap whenI have to wait on the game and not my own skill/grinding. They are basically MAKING you stick around for 4 months if you want to become a Jedi not due to difficult tasks or super hard beasts to kill... not because you need to grind a million XP, ...but because they make you wait for 6 phases.


Im no power gamer, but making me sit around at CL80 doing nothing (oh wait, i can grind if i want..but I get results for my efforts only 1 time every 3 weeks) is pointless. Why are people still playing this game? I never undertood why people whined on these forums until now. Whoever came up with this BRILLANT idea was only trying to keep people playing the game because lets face it...everyone wants to be a Jedi ..even a little bit.


The only reason i was trying to persue Jedi was for a 2nd character I could make a crafter... There should be another way than waiting 18 weeks.

and you have plenty to do...you dont just open log in 1 time every 3 weeks, do a quest and come back every 3 weeks until you have 6 quests done. These branches dont fill themselves with no xp involved. You need to grind your ass off and convert xp to fill those 6 branches.

Just make your character now a crafter and not a Jedi, problem solved.

Grinding the amount of xp that you need isn't as easy as you think it is. It takes a long time to grind out 80 - 200 or so MILLION xp, to convert to that FS. Plus, you can always go out and actually explore the game, do stuff that you haven't done yet, etc.

But, while you're waiting for the phase change, that is when you grind for the experience.. You can accumlate the xp and convert into whatever you're going to put it in to.. If you want until you do 6 quests.. It's going to take you that much longer to grind for the trees that you want..

My two cents..

Also many krayt dragonsare even as I type waiting for you to bludgeon them to death, open their gizzards and take out the precious pearls so you have a good stock to tune in the hopes you will get 4 good ones to fit in your shiny new saber!

Its no big deal, im on my way to cancel as i type. Im still on my 30 day free trial anyway.... go figure, CL80 in less than 3 weeks and the first week i spent mastering Artisan and working towards master Arc.


As much as i hate it, at least WoW has SOME end game content even if it is lacking in many other ways. Best of luck to those of you that dont mind being paced by the game and not your own pace.
