I am interested in knowing if any devoted crafters (no combat skills) made it through the padawan trial to unlock their FS slot. If any of you have, I was wondering if you could tell me how you made it through the combat aspects (siths and padawan trials). I would very much like to know if this route has been accomplished (and possible) without having to sacrifice crafting trees for combat ones. I have heard rumors that it is possible but the handy search has not yielded the information I seek.
Please no "to be a jedi you have to fight" hijacking, because that is not the info I am after.
I am not interested in making my main into a Jedi, but rather preserve my main as a crafter and use the extra character (upon unlock)as the eventual Jedi. While I could grind up a combat alt on another server to unlock, theFS crafting boxes would do mymain crafter a lot of good- so itactually makes more sense to unlock with my main.Yes I know the xp grinding for crafters sucks, I am willing to deal with that. I am only a couple themepark badges away form being a glowy, and I've put off the final badges because I'm not sure if I can keep my crafting professions and unlock at the same time. I'm not going to start (or not) until I'm sure.
I have enough sp for a few boxes of pistoleer without sacrificing my crafting profession. While I would rather not do this I shall if there is no way around it. But assuming I can get a group of friends to help me kill the bad guys, will a few boxes of pistoleer be enough to get me through the siths (after the old man) and the padawan trial? Or will I not need them at all if I can get a healthy gang of war-hardened drinking buddies to kick some butt for me?
I hope to hear from fellow crafters who have completed this FS journey 
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

ah ok now i reread your post.
With a few boxes of pistol you should be easily able to get to the village and unlock your branches.
Doing the padawan trials will go a bit quicker with a friend helping out (the baz nitches), but they aren't too hard.
I have to tell you though, as someone who has unlocked two characters, a combat and a non-combat, if you actually believe that after taking a crafter through unlocking, mastering 6 branches etc, that you will want to do that all over again to make your new char a jedi lol you are dreaming. I predict you will be so sick of grinding... you just wont want to do it.
Thanks for the info
Yeah I figure after the first unlock I will probably need a break from the grind. However the second character I get after unlock I will use as acombat toon, and I'll get that one glowing and through the padawan trials at my leisure (when I'm not sick of grinding). Would be nice if SW xp was valid, those bastards....

I went back and got glowy so I could train a bit in force crafting, but will never be able to go full jedi. Any thoughts on the best craft grind for FS craft xp?

Meepo, while looking for info on my combat dilema (using the search), I found about 4-8 pages of threads on the subject you seek. There is plenty of info on other threads about that topic. I would like to keep this thread on the topic of tips for crafters getting around the combat issues of unlocking because that info has been very, very scarce. Thanks

As long as you will be doing only Senses and Crafting branch unlocks, you won't have to worry much about combat except to keep yourself buffed and armored to protect against spawns you might run into accidentally while surveying etc. The only combat you will have to face are the two sith fights to get to the village in the first place, which are easily winnable with a few boxes of pistoleer, and the padawan trial quests, which you can easily solo with buffs, armor and a few boxes of pistoleer. Note that the baz nitch trial will go faster if you bring a combat friend. That's all you have to worry about.

777 you're my hero. I will definately be bringing some buddies for the baz nitch trial. I'll have to shuffle skill points around for those pistoleer boxes, but it's doable without sacrificing my neccessary crafting trees. I'm off to grind pistoleer

A couple of things to think about:
1. For the exit quest (whichisbefore the padawan trials),Mallichea and friends, you'll definitely need help, but so does just about everyone else for that one, so its probably not toobig of a deal.
2. In phase 4 of the village, it is overwhelmed with Sith Outlaws, Pirates, and Thugs. The particular Thugs that attack the village during phase4are pretty nasty and make exchanging xp and doing other quests dangerous (or at the very least annoying because you can't talk while agro'd even if your safe) even for combat players. But, there is an under attack/not under attack cycle so with some scouting and patience, you should be able to get in and get your quests done.
Anyway, good luck.
