I know this was posted some where but I cant find it. Does anyone remember how many time you have to cap/ convert weapon xp?
And I would also like to know how many times it takes to do the same with combat xp.
Thanks

oh forgot to say... you always convert weapon xp AND combat xp - you will get about 60k force xp if you convert both each time 
One branch needs 1.225.000 force xp ... so 21 * 60.000 = 1.260.000 (enough)
One branch needs 1.225.000 force xp ... so 21 * 60.000 = 1.260.000 (enough)

with 2 combat profs (providing you can cap both in one buff session) you will need approximately 70 caps

if u count the 90k combat xp u also get by capping 900k of weapon xp u would need to do 125 runs to get the 6 full branches.. so i guess about 30 runs to do one branch lol

not to be a jerk... but 30*6 is 180 so 30 times pr branch is a bit over the top...
But for gods and your own sake if u have some creds(1-2m) in spare do yourself the favor of going 4000 commando and throw some thermals.... Will help u do the grind 6 times faster or so....
I unlocked a bunch of branches first, and then picked up grenadier so now I have a crappy template but then again im gonna be jedi when the next phase begins so my temp would be screwed anyways...

Oh, you might want to avoid the grenade solution for the FS grind if you aren't a millionaire already.
Gaining money after the group payour nerf is a serious pain in the behind since most WS charge some 75k for a crate of thermo dets. 75k is quite a load of money if you don't have a lot of time on your hands or JTL. (In JTL you can always sell looted space components to special NPCs for the price of 1-9k I believe - never used it much since I'm more ofa ground game personwhen it comes to getting money.)

There's no reason to rush it with nades, why mindlessly grind all day to get a branch, when you can just cap weapons once a day in about an hour and a half each day of the phase and it's taken care of.

I am not sure why anyone would want to grind fs by only capping weapons xp as that is certainly the long road. It takes me one three hour buff session to cap both combat and UA xp. That's 130k fs xp every three hours. If you figure in another 30 minutes for driving to and from the village to convert and getting rebuffed, it takes me approximately 33 hours (10 trips to the village)to fill one branch. To fill all six branches then would take approximately 198 hours (57 trips to the village). This is doing the FS with only one combat profession, with no commando skills and using C-12's to take out quenkers for the first hour and a half of each buff session.

Because what's the point of doing it quickly if you have to wait 20 more days anyway for the next phase? It is not "the long road" if you just cap once a day. I don't know what your doing but you can cap UA in an hour, hour a half tops on endor. And it takes 30 minutes to get to village and bacK? my last time was 16 minutes 27 seconds, but when I arrived at coronet I was a minute some early for the shuttle too.
it is set up so it takes 21 trips to village per phase to fill a branch, that's once a day, for the entire phase. But that's not including combat xp, so actually it is shorter than that.
