I have been playing the game for only 3 days now and I have14/15 Badges. I still need to do Jabbas Themepark. Im a master marksman and working on riflesman. Do you guys think that is good professions to work with? Also about these phases in this village for FS Grind, what and how do these phases work?

Good advise. If going rifleman doctor is a nice compliment. Also maybe a TKM or commando line if you want to get force xp quicker.

It will point you to all the FAQs on how to go from a new char to Jedi.

Rifleman isn't for dabblers! For you to be the mean killing machine that the Corps want you to be you have to Master. Then you'll be doing so much damage that no mob in any of the quests/theme parks will touch you. You could probably finish all the themeparks with little trouble with just novice rifleman and a T21. Buy a Probot to tank and you'll be fine.

Thank you guys for all your help. I will be Mastering Marksman and Mastering Doctor due to what you guys said. I guess thats the best way to go for me to make creadits and also gain exp for my jobs and grind force exp. Thanks alot fellas. And if you think of anything else please do let me know!

Master Swordsman is nice with Rifleman. You get the best of both worlds with medium-heavy Armor piercing weapons.The defences of rifleman compliment swordsman nicely. It's a great template for PvP and PvE. Swordsman is great for killing high level mobs in the village quests. I have done great killing NS over the past month, there is good money to be made in loot. That is if your worried about money. Doctor and rifelman can be hard to do things solo, the melee mod against a rifleman can be deadly in the presence of high level mobs, when you bite off more than you can chew no stim can save you. It's also a pretty good temp to grind fs xp with, but if you have the money i would greatly consider the commando method. That is, if you dont want to go insane. Best of luck.

Just a piece of advice, if you've only been in game for 3 days I would recommend you play the game for its other factors. There are MANY other things that are more enjoyable than grinding out jedi...

And nobody said anything about Marksman. You need an elite profession for easy fighting, be it rifleman, carbeneer, tka, swordsman, whatever, but not just master marksman.

To be honest, he isnt really missing out on much. Thats prolly why most people are doing the jedi grind now. Because lack of content. I mean he is doing content badges thats good. Not like you can go krayt or NS hunting every other day of the week because of server resets. Which is RUINING the game IMO.When people cant go out to spawn areas and just kill stuff, loot, and have FUN....Oh yea SWG doesn't want us to have too much of that. It seems everything in this game has it's good and it's bad, like everything has to be moderated and toned down. You should experience doing places like the Death WatchBunker or Geo Caves with some friends though.Back on topic...
Ya Master Marks isn't of any use at all unless your an elite ranged prof. Doctor isn't all its cracked up to be for making money. You rely more on people than you do luck. Which can be bad and good. I can easily make more money looting NS though on average in a 3 hr buff. Than I could sitting in Mining Outpost buffing people for 3 hrs. Problem with doc is the only way to make good money is by making meds and selling them, which isn't easy or cheap. Other than that you have to buy your buff packs, and work off the expences before you actually are GAINING profit. Which is ok if you allready got plenty of money to spare....but I would really get some more opinions and think it over before you go rushing into any template. Because you seem to want to be a Jedi/combat class, not a doc(money).

the whole template thing is easy to achieve pre paddy
as padawan your gonna want certain skills to survive, you can achieve these skills before paddy and have commando 4000 for the nade grind and not have to rework your template once the grind is over.
here is the perfect template for paddy and the fs grind using nades
TKM (defence, offence, and wound healing)
medic 0040 (healing, 40 med use stim E)
smuggler 0010 (feign death)
commando4000 (nade grind)
you will still have enough skill points to complete the FS trees
once the fs grind is over drop commando and drop marksman to 0400 and pick up
scout 4000 (terrain negotiation, burstrun bonus, mask scent)
then drop scout as needed to learn jedi skills
-------------------------------------------------------------------
lets do the math
lets say your a master of 2 elite professions, lets use sword/rifleman
buffs, brandy, canape/arisha
3 hours
2h xp = 900k = 30k fs
rifle xp = 900k = 30k fs
300k combat = 100k fs xp
160k fs xp per set of buffs (1225k fs xp per tree / 160k fs xp = 7.6 buffs x 3hours = 22.9 hours per tree)
this is based on having a good spot to grind at
now lets say you throw nades
buffs, brandy
3 hours
1200k combat xp = 400k fs xp
400k fs xp per set of buffs (1225k fs xp per tree / 400k fs xp = 3 buffs x 3 hours = 9 hours per tree)
