Alright I constantly am seeing threads on quick ways to grind Senses Xp. People are trying slicing routes which is effective at a 3:1 ratio but becomes very expensive and tiring. People are also considering Mastering the Doc tree inorder to afk Rez . What people have to stop and analyze is how quickly are they in need ofcompleting there given Heightened Sense tree ?
Point Number 1
There is really only 1 skill that invovles the senses grind that is really worth considering and that is Luck. No one really knows what good it does but it is better than most other skills. For those who wentto the Aurillian Village blind and accidently selected a useless skill that invovled the Heightened Sense tree , do yourself a favor and make that your only one. Luck really worth the extra grind action. The most worth while unlocks are Melee Accuracy , Melee Defense and Ranged Defense.
Point Number 2
This scenerio applies to those who had no freebies.Then agian , if you had a freebie and still chose to do a quest involving the senses grind , you are insane or just like the challenge.
So you have selected 5 combat xp unlocks and 1 senses xp. Now , you realize how tough it is to gain FS xp in general but futhermore you realize how the Senses grind makes the Combat/Reflexes grind look like a joke. So what are you to do ? My advice...take it slow , do not grind this at all. Get yourself Hunting and Exploration IV , which you can do in about 2hours. This will allow you to cap out at 30k - which is terrible but what can you do. So you will have to recycle xp with Paemos at the village often. The converion with scouting xp is 8:1 , so you will be getting 3750 per visit to the village. Now this 30k scouting xp goes by really quickly if you are hunting right.
Where to hunt for quick scouting xp :
- Dathomir - Rancors : They will give you 1k+ scouting xp per kill and 4-5k weapon xp . Good place to grind both combat and scout.
- Geonosian Lab - Any Altered/ Enhanced Creature: They drop hardly any harvest but they give you 2k+ scouting xp which is the highest i have seen yet. Also a very good place to grind combat xp. If you are a weak combat class, group with a friend and just harvest what they kill. You can climb up the Hunting and Exploration branches real quick this way.
There are a lot more but those are my top 2
Part 3 - The awakening
Now you are probably saying. Listen man , 3750 FS xp cap out is not gonna cut it. I need this done and there has got to be a better way. Now I want you to sit back and relax becomes i am gonna tell you something that you may not have been aware of , or maybe just trying to block out. Each phase is 3 weeks real time. If you got no freebies this is going to take you 18 weeks. Last time I checked that is about 4 and a half months it is gonna take you just to unlock all these quests. So, seeing how you still have 14,100,000 fs combat xp to grind , that 2,850,000 senses xp grind will come to you just from grinding the fs combat if you are harvesting all that you kill.

or get some med skills and a pet tumbler standing next to paemos in the village 
only med xp caps at 80k which at 10:1 gives 8k of FS senses xp, so its still one hell of a grind

I personally found the senses grind to be the best. I did crafting and it was easy, but went to senses and it was even easier. Best way of course is using resurrection. You can do one line a day no problem. Only limitation is the amount of rez packs you have. Pet tricks are bad because someone will invariably buff the pet tumbler.
