I've been thinking of other ways to get fs xp lately, and went to the fs grind guide sticky to check out the best ways for all the proffessions. Since im artisan i was looking for a good crafting proffession that might be able to make it through the grind. Of course, it wouldnt compare to the grenade grinding im doing now, but what i saw was the amount of reasources required. 10-20 million units of resources to get a single tree. Is anyone getting that many resources???

I have easilly that much in my houses, but I've been a master crafter for a loooong time.
Running 20 harvesters non stop should do it in less than a month if you can afford the power and maintenence on em.
My advice in mine it yourself if you can, people sell resources for too much money in this game.

The link I checked out was 6 million units making wind generators for one branch, I am collecting the resources now for it and plan on doing the crafting last, the post I read was estimated 39.5hrs of crafting to complete one of those branches as well.
I have two more combat branches to do, then I will be thinking of the crafting ones, not sure if I am going to use them on this character or wait till I make padwan and get an extra account to make into a crafter.

if you go Droid Engineer 0003, you can make advanced droid frame units.
For one branch of FS Xp from top to bottome the resources required doing it this way are 2.1 million steel and 980k of fiberplast, after rounding up. Maybe a little mroe if you have a ton of failures or screw the macro up.

Well, after the nerf, im losing money extremely fast. Before, i used to be able to gain a few million in a couple buff sessions, now, im very limited on the amount of money i can get. So, that3 million resource count seems to be very difficult to get to, especially for one branch. I only need 2 more branches, and right now i dont think i can afford much more grenade grinding, nor do i think i can stand it. I've thought about going for crafting, and i could easily get to DE. But the amount of time and money it could take is very daunting.

You need 24,500,000 DE XP which is 4,900,000 FS XP to master the whole tree. DE Caps at 240,000 XP = 48,000 FS XP. Thats capping102.1 times.
ADV Bll Chasis will get you 4,000 DE XP. 60 times to cap. That's6126 bll chasis. So that's:
1,531,500Steel
1,531,500 Duranium Steel
4,594,500Duralloy Steel
3,063,000Fibreplast
6,126 Droid Brains
12,252 Manipulator arms
36,756Advanced Motivators
6,126 Droid Sensor Packages
It's more resources than ADF but you could grind the whole tree in a week if you had the resources and factories. It would be much easier on your clicking finger!

So devide that in half if you only need 2 branches, or devide by 4 to figure cost for 1 branch.
Yes I know the initial 50k will not be right but close enough.

If you get a DE buff and do it in prcatice they are 4,830 XP per combine.
5,125 total BLLs (I included the 50k FS for novice box as well), 1,025 per tree.
It is a lot of subcomponents and factory time.
You will need more than 15 million units in resources, including more than 3.75 duralloy steel and 1.25 million Duranium.
I highly recommend getting at least the metal recycler before doing all your subcomponents.
