I don't think you want to read this but, all those who are screwed and can't make it. Post it here! I only got 400k FS xp. So need a couple of millions still... Or more


*I use nades, just thought if i should try with the rez method? Heard you could get a full branch in 5 hours. So that be like 3-4 days for me grinding. Thats faster than me with nades. Then i might get all the xp i need.

I feel your pain, I just got my force xp and unlock with this phase change. The pain will begin for real when start to grind jedi in the CU.

hey man, i'm in the same boat. i've unlocked 2, and have filled novice/1/2/some of my 3rd box from my first branch. I'm dropping Master Ranger (which I LOVE to death) so I can grind out some grenades. its expensive, it feels like I'm cheating, but I NEED to grind as much as possible before the CU. Not because I'm convinced that FS grinders will be shmucked, but just in case, you never know.

I'll feel better if I can be a paddy by CU. I feel your pain bro, I think grenades might be your only hope.

I'd love to know how people doing this in 5 hours are managing it ... maybe it was the fact I was running two accounts on the same computer, with the resulting lag problems.

They are at the village, use a good kill / rez macro. Then they get hell lot of xp in no time. Convert. Then start all over, i think

NOT TRUE!!! YOU DO HAVE TIME TO NADE GRIND IT BEFORE MAY 5th!!! I know this because i did 12 hour sessions on the weekends and 6 hours in the evenings grinding my tail off. I banked enough fsxp to fill 5 branches in a week doing nothing but grinding INSANELY. THEN . . .I did an extra 1.225 mil fsxp so i have it banked for melee accuracy 12 weeks from now. This phase 3 i am getting ranged defense . . .so i will have to wait on melee accuracy till it shows up again.


The point is you still have time if you are dedicated enough to just force yourself to grind. Put your real life on hold for a week and just grind. Dont watch tv at night . . just grind. Go to bed later than normal so you can grind. Sleep less and grind. Get up early and grind. Using nades you can get 400k fsxp in 1 buff session easily. So each line will take roughly 3 sessions. I have heard of people getting as much as 500k fsxp per session using nades. Just stay focused and be dedicated. With combat and reflexes you can easily bank 5 mil fsxp per discipline before the CU.


Cost of grenades got you down? Find a weaponsmith friend and negotiate a good price for a bulk order. In a full factory run of grenades you will get 40 crates. That's 4 mil at 100k per crate. you might find a weaponsmith who will give it to you for 3-3.5 mil. Just ask.


And as a curtesy to the Chilastra server . . .I am a master weaponsmith and I will make free schematics for ANYONE who needs grenades. You bring your resources and I will make the schematic for you to run yourself in your own factory. That's a ZERO cost on grenades. All you need to do is provide the resources for yourself! So this is a HUGE savings. Not sure what you need? Just go to swgcraft.com and look at the resources necessary for the grenades and subcomponents. You do the math and find out how many of what you need. Bring them to me and I will get your schematics made for you. Then when your subcomps are made bring me your resources again and I will get the grenade schematics made for you!


So dont let the time get to you . . .you still have 21 days left to grind out your combat xp and bank it if nothing else. you might have to wait to do your unlocks but your grind can be done if you have enough xp banked before the Combat Upgrade!!

Hehe take it from someone using the Rez method, and a damn good one at that (the one straight from the guide) you can't do a full tree in 5 hours, and whoever says you can is lying or selling something..you get on average 800 xp per rez, and max out 80k in about 5 minutes..even on that average alone it equals about 96k FXP per hour...seeing as how you need 1.2 million roughly...hmm...yep kinda impossible for one on one..now if you have 3 people surrounding you and your healing and rezing multiple people sure...but otherwise if you have just one other person you can't...though as for grinding, I did 5 branches using the gernade method..you can do it before CU but it's going to take some harsh online time I just finished banking the other day so I have to wait till next phase change to unlock booooo! good luck!

I wish I had that kind of time. OK, so I could pull off 12 hrs twice a week (closest thing I get to a weekend while working 2 jobs. Never move to Cali, rent is crazy) but the rest of the week I barely get 6 hrs to sleep. I'm banking as much as I can before the switch, just in case, but I know I won't get enough to unlock. Hopefully the CU doesn't screw us all as much as everyone says it will.

Tried the rez grind and pretty much gave up after my eyes started to bleed and couldnt be afk for more then 5 mins for fear of wasting packs, running out of packs, etc. Spent like a week straight after work and whenever I had time to do this and only got 1 1/2 boxes of senses filled..... Oh well here's hoping I dont get too screwed by the curb since 2 of my unlocks right now are senses... working on smuggler right now but at least grinding slicing is a bit more interactive than the rez method.
