ive been doing this whole senseless grinding thing for a couple weeks now, and ive come to a bit of a road block. im currently tkm, commando 4000 (nades..obviously.) and master marksman. I havent been able to find any imp detonators or thermal detonators in weeks, which has left me to cap my unarmed each buff session, ruining the amount of fs xp im gaining. so heres my question, should i keep looking for grenades, or try for a double mastery in grinding, or even a triple later on. And more importantly, what professions would be the best for me to master, and fastest as not to interfere too much with my fs grinding...

I'd definitely talk to a weaponsmith about making you enough 'nades to keep you busy awhile. Offer them enough to make it worth their while, and I'm sure you will not have a problem. You should be getting lots of money if you are doing missions as you're grinding.

the money's not an issue at all, and ive talked to many ws's but its trying to get them to spend a ton of time to make the nades for me where the problem lies.They all have told me that they dont have the time, or that they're too busy. It sucks when we must rely on another class to provide us with the items we need. But its understandable with the time it takes, and their own time schedules,which is why i wanted to find another path, not so grenade demanding.

how many columns have you trained? and how many more do you have to go?
I only ask because a template change will take you out for about a week of grinding FS xp, so if you only have like 2 columns to go, you're better off just finding c-12, c-22, the more common ones and just grind it out. But if you have like 3+ cols to go, i'd first put a post for an order of grenades on your server's trade forum. If nobody accepts the order, then its up to you, if you're going to master a second to have a dual master, i'd pickup 2handed sword. They are, to me, the best rancor killers in the game and between TKM, 2hand and c-12's you'll fly through xp conversion.

Looking for some advice here too.
I am a Master Swordsman, Master CH
Along with CH exp and my weapon xp, I can grind out about 100k combat per buff. But I know peole pulling in 500k combat with grenades.
If I use c12's against sharnaffs, I do 5 to 11 points of damage. That clearly is not going to cut it.... so my question is, do I stick with my template, or do I drop CH and start working up commando. It would seem the time it takes me to gain marksman and then commando, combined with teh comabt exp i have to spend to get there, would offset the advantage.
what do you think? stay with what I have, or make a quick change?

My WS laughed at me when I told him I'll clean him out - now couple of weeks later I finally did. Still have couple of stacks in bank and nearby factory but not sure if that will last me - 7 trips away from filling the 6th branch. Can't imagine doing it - the 'old fashioned way' - Spin Attack 2 
Best part they were nice 800+ dmg and only 20K a crate of 25...

You all need to change your template to the Uber FS grinder template:
Master Commando / Master Weaponsmith!
That one rulez!

I am currently fs grinding w/ my alt and I still look to buy grenades instead of crafting them. That is how much of a pain they are to craft. It will tie up 3 factories for days and consume a huge amount of resources. However, the grenade grind is so much quicker than the alternative. Find a WS that will make these for you. You also might want to offer to help supply some of the resources. If you ask around enough, you will find someone to make 'em.
