Thread: The FS combat grind.

This terribly long grind is getting to me. Max out on unarmed, drive 5k, dump off my xp and get 60k FS xp. Repeat for one and a half more trees of FS combat xp and you've got yourself a grind!

For those of you who are also involved in this grind, let me know what you have found most effective.

What I do:
With just a helmet for armor, I grab a solo group, head for Coro buffed and whatnot and do sharnaffs until max.

All response are appreciated.

Thermal Detonators and Baz Nitchs on Dathomir, I can cap combat exp in about 30 minutes, drive to the Village and get 100K of FS exp, and repeat. The only problem is that buying mass quanties of gernades is expensive and that you need 4,0,0,0 in Commando to do it fast.

I can get about 300-500K of FS exp in about 2-3 hours, not bad

go to dantooine

1.buff

2. get a solo group

3. choose two quenker or huurton stalker missions in the same direction

4. get on bike drink two brandies

5. find lair

6. spin / mind attack till all dead

7. repeat step 5

8. return to nearest mission terminal

goto 3.


repeat until TKA and Sword are maxed out.

i've managed to cap both in one buff before, but that was in a zombie like trance mode.

It is only a grind if you make it out to be.


Noone is saying you have only a limited time to earn the XP you need to fill the branches and trying to gain it as fast as you possibly can is really just going to burn you out. I too am a bit impatient but not going to make this game out to be worse then a job. I'm sorry but you cannot complain that it's a horrendous grind if it's your choice to burn yourself trying to get the XP requirements in the shortest time possible.


Unless you try to get the Crafting branches consider yourself blessed.


Seriously hunting on Correllia in a solo group? I can see how you are burning yourself out.


Head to the harder planets. Endor,Yavin, Dantooine.


With 1 elite combat profession you can fill a branch capping 1 time per day in 20 days. Since phases are 3 weeks long I don't see how this can be considered grinding.


I had a little Schedule on my grinding and yes i did fall behind but I'm not going to burn myself out trying to catch up with a self imposed schedule.

Wow! Someone that thinks like I do!


I have never been one to make a game a job and I don't intend on starting now. I am working on FS skills but not every day I play.


People get burnt out and then start bashing the game in misdirected anger.

Have you ever killed a sharnaff? They go down in about three seconds and give 4.5k xp a pop.

If you wanna end the grind quickly switch to grenades and do quenkers(or other creatures if you can find something better) I started doing the combat grind in phase 2 (phase 1 i opened HS and i hate myself for it) and i finished all 5 combat columns before phase 4 started. I was getting 200k FS xp in about 4 hours (im a doc so no downtime for rebuffing) its expensive but it really goes quicker (6 days per tree). Now im going through grinding withdrawls

What you can do is do quenker missions (the 5100 ones) and only use c12's on the lair to kill them. You will get like 2500 combat xp per kill. Takes about 10-15 mins i think but if you max out combat which is 300k and your profession which is 90k then that is 130k fs xp in about 2 hrs. I finally finished the village and the padawan trials this past weekend and it is awesome unlocking because of all the work put into it. Just hang in there. You have 3 weeks anyways to do it. Plus you think this grind is long now try taking 10 mins to kill 1 ($5100) quenker and 10 mins for the lair. That 1 mission can take from 1 hr to 1 and half hrs to for a total of maybe 3,000-4,000 xp and you need 20k xp for novice lightsaber which is a must. So just be patient and hang in there.


Oh i know most do Baz Nitches or Huurton Stalkers for the nades which may take a little longer per mission but you get more xp. The regular quenkers though are faster to do and they do a lot less dmg to you

When you use grenades you get nothing but combat xp, so lets say a critter usually gives 3k unarmes xp and 300 combat, now you get 3k combat + 300 combat
