it can be extremely boring, but it's fairly easy. just keep changing your eye color and accept, rinse and repeat. also goes a lot quicker with buffs. When i started out it only took me about 2 weeks to get to master, although it took longer to do being Zabrak becausenon-humans can't even work onthemselves untilthey open up the corresponding box. so if you are non-human, get a willing and attentive human friend to help. they'll need to have an itchy trigger finger to keep hitting accept, and this will take longer than working on yourself. i suggest bribing them heavily.

Are you talking about grinding ID points to master ID, or grinding ID points to convert to FS senses exp? It is very fast to master ID by grinding. As far as making FS senses exp, there are probably easier ways.



ID points are exchanged at 15 to 1 for FSS. It would be possible to grind huge numbers of ID points. However, there are easier ways: Dancing and musician (and Music Healing) convert at 10 to 1, and as you probably know require very little conscious attention to the computer to obtain. Merchant points accrue automatically 24/7 as youplace vendors and pay their maintenance, whether you sell anything or not,and they trade at 4 to 1. You dont accrue them as fast as entertainersor ID. A merchant 0004 can have 9 vendors and rack up about 32K merchant--> 8k FS senses a day.


If you traditionally hunt in a group you can accrue beaucoup scout exp (usually with a macro) which trades in at 8 to 1 while you are also gaining your weapons exp.

my understanding was that the conversion was 7:1, has this changed or has it always been 15:1?

i can't comment on the conversion, and whether or not its worth it to try... however I've mastered ID countless times just 'cause I like being an ID on at least one alt. I can tell ya... as fast as it is to master ID, it's sooooooo boring to grind mindlessly like that. I can't even imagine grinding ID as much as you'll have to in order to fill a FS branch. /shudder But if you really wanna try, definitely get a friend or an alt. You get only half thexp IDing yourself as you would on another person. The cap is 80k so you'll be stuck at the village the entire grind (so your friend will need to be FS as well)unless you wanna make tripsout thereevery half hour

EDIT: and i just happened to be lurking on the ID forums and this message was there should help ya too

Looks like you are right, 7:1 conversion. I am thinking that i might not have had to waste all that time as a merchant to make my FS senses branch (hah hah). Live and learn.
