Thread: Is this a fast way to grind out fs
)
)) Combat XP. I cap usually twice a day with my spin group, so 330k FS Senses and 200k Combat / Reflexs is pretty good IMO
Gotta love 8:1 Conversion Ratio for Scout I'm not sure if fastest is the word your looking for here. Let me put it this way.
If you average 1 kill a minute overall during your grind, it will take you 661 hours to grind out your experience. If you are doing just combat related FS grinding and your expereince trade ingives you 100k FS per trip you will have to make 75 trips. At half an hour a trip thats 37 and a half hours for a grand total of 698.5 hours. Now if you have a template that allows you 170 FS per trip then you have to make only 44 trips. That works out to 22 hours for a grand total of 681 hours. In the grand scheme of things the trips to the village are a small part of the total grind time. You've only saved 17.5 hours.
I would suggest3 things:
1. Pick a template that you feel most confortable with. You will be more efficent with it and overall you will gain experience faster.
2. Make sure that template isat level 80. Dont penalize yourself with a template that gives you a lot of 1.2 mil maxes but puts you below level 80 where you get less expereince per kill. Like I demonstrated above, the grinding is the time consumer, not the trips to the village.
3. Set a perday average experience target that is resonable for the time you have. You will have days that you exceed it, maybe even vastly exceed it. Those days are just bonus days. It takes the stress out of the grind if you hit your target for the day and then decide to actually go have some fun for the rest of the time your on.
Just my 2 cents.

The highlighted idea is excellent. I think I'm going to do this so I don't spend every minute I'm online grinding. As for my template, I have MBH/MCommando and Novice CM. The commando is extremely easy to get as I use AOE weapons --> Flame Thrower and it hits everything. This is especially easy in a spin/aoe group. Rifles, carbines, and pistols are a little slower but generally I just spam Improved spray shot and I hit most things with it. My FS template I'll have 2 trees in prowess, 3 in reflexes and also the luck tree in senses. So I may add more healing in the end to get the senses xp. Just my 2 cents.
