Hi all.

Just starting to wonder about the "grenade grind".

1- How many grenades (stacks) can you approximately grind in one 3-hour buffsession?
2- How much xp can you approximately grind in one 3-hour buffsession?
3- How much does a crate of grenades usually cost?
4- How much money would it take to grind all 6 branches with C12-grenades?

While I won't go into the numbers (I finished my grind, I don't want to think of a grenade ever again), you will end up using 3 times as many stacks of C12 to get the same combat XP a single stack of Imperial Dets would net you. If you figured C12s cost 25,000 a crate and imp dets cost 75,000, you're not saving any money doing the grind with C12. It just will take 3 times as long and cost about the same amount of money.

You can use them, but I would use thermals.


You want to be a Jedi right ?


Your template is going to have to change and there is no way around that...


You can grind it with your current template or you can save some timeand grind out Commando 4/0/0/0 and get the FS xp with thermals.

I started out the village grind as TKM/Rifleman.


i would max out both professions XP then use C-12s to cap my combat. Capping combat at that point was around 150k


After awhile of doing this I decided to hell with it, and grinded out commando 4040 (I wanted to hunt Krayts as well)



So now Iam TKM with Commando and the grind goes much faster. I am capping combat XP once when Iog in,a nd once when I log out. In total it takes me around 30-45 minutes to get 200k FSXP not including drive time to the vilalge, and buffing.


at this rate I will have enough FSXP to unlock when I unlockmy 6th branch in about 4 weeks. I also don;t play everyday.



My advise..... Get commando and spend some money.

Yes, but that would make my unavailable to make Master Chef foods in my whole grinding time. :/

I'm doing the grind with C12 but I'm not a comando.

I've expend about 1mill on nades. Can I use them, if I change my template to comando, in a more efficient way or It's the same thing???

this is one thing you will need to deal with anyway. Change to commando now and use thermals or imp dets.
don't use c12's unless you really truly enjoy a bajillion hours of sheer boredom. they're so slow to kill anything, and will cost you a boat load extra in credits.

Her hour and a half takes me 15-20 minutes so I have time to do other things besides grind, grind, grind.


C-12s are great if all you want to do during your play time is throw grenades.

Grenades on my server are very expensive 150k-200k per crate of Thermals are around the usual price i would love to be on a server where ppl sell crates of Thermals for 75k thats usualy the price for c12s or c22s on Europe Farstar.

Anyway you can grind Commando 4xxx quickly with the c12s then drop it when you have finished the fs grind (thats what im doing)!, because if you dont get the fs grind finished soon before the combat upgrade itll take you considarably longer after. High xp building is going to be killed with the combat upgrade keep that in mind.

My wife last night was racking in 55k combat xp per lair (Bark Mite Burrowers) on Endor. In almost 1.5 hours she capped combat xp. Surely C12s can't be that bad for those that don't wish to switch to Commando then?
