OK don't make the same mistake as me . . .
Do NOT calculate how many trips you have to the village for experience trade in . . . It will only make the grind that much more depressing 
you may now return to your usual grind

Just set a goal for yourself to cap once per play session and you will do fine. If you want more than that do more but set a goal for at least once per session.

i think its good for people to know what they need, if not they will prolly lose sight of getting to a certain point when they need to be done. at first i did count and then when i started wooping it on i just lost count. it took me 14 days about 10 hours a day to do it before they nerfed combat xp trade to 30:1. now it takes twice as long imo. best thing is to do whatever you can to just get it over with if you really want a jedi. ive been just sitting on my a$$ since july 11th, and i got glowie on june 28th. all i do now is take care of my city/guild, and do the quests and wait and for fun go kill krayts and do necro runs and avatar and stuff like that. again good luck everyone and just get it over fast dont worry bout the # of trips just do it.

I agree with the original poster - I worked it out a while ago, and it really was depressing. So much so that I actually stopped playing for about a week because the prospect of the grinding till I cap twice a night and still taking two weeks was harsh.
So I stopped grinding. Now I just play the game, help guildies quest, spend a bit of time in space, and get experiance when I get it. I haven't enjoyed the game so much for ages.
I'll get enough FS xp eventually, but I don't want to turn into a powergamer to get it. There is enough grinding AFTER the unlock for that.
Maybe if more people chilled out about being glowy then we'd have more balanced jedi, rather than those obsessed with xp whose gaming experience has just been reduced to killing Bols day after day.

Have 22 weeks to go, and if I make 3 trips a week.
Foolish me I gave up my 2 free unlocksduring respect because I tought I would never go for Jedi.

I had to calculate because im taking my vacation the day i unlock and i need to put in the request 21 days in advance.
I have 34.5 trips left to unlock and i cap steadily 1 time per day. And about 1 time a week i cap 2 times. So i got about a month left yay!!!!!!!!!!!
That puts me exactly one month off from my original calculation. If my grind had notfallen behind due to personal problems and server troubles i would only be about 2 weeks off from theoriginal date i calculated.

I think I have 21 trips left. I'll admit, I've just been having fun with it. I try to hit a minumum of 600k experience per night as a goal and just generally have fun with the game. I will get there. And doing the Bol count has made it entertaining for me too so if you feel like doing that just take the amount of FS experience you have left to getand divide it by 187.8.
