ok this is my method
i got a hook up hook up on imp grenades so im paying 50k a crayte
i buy about 3 crates then get in solo group and go bomb for about 3 hrs
im swords man 4/2/3/2 so when im fighting the biznatches i keep my hammer equiped for extra def
then when i get on my last crate i go solo for a while raise cash until i hit 175k credits so i can get 3 more crates and a buff
then when i get done bombing all the biz nitches i pull out my flame thower which does 679-1186 dmg speed at 4.8 and blow up the lair
am i going about the hole money thing right?
is there a better way?

i went 4/0/0/0 becuase i accidently unlearned one of my 4th tier boxes from my combat class that uses combat xp, so i had to go 4000 to get the full 300k combat xp. is also good incse you run out of imp detonators and have to carry on the grind w/ thermals (thrmals are good to, specially for baznithes. around the same damage, medium ap as opposed to light ap (imps have light ap) and they do heat damage, baznitches are vulnerable to heat, where as they have 25% to blast. so either one, imps or thermals, work just fine.

I make money but hunting for organic resources. Anytime there is a really awesome spawn I take a break from the grind for a few days and hunt. I have a guy that I regularly work for that pays me very well. So I usually just hunt until I can bank up a mil or 2 then get back to the nade tossing. Its really boring but its a good money maker. I just made 800k of bantha hide in 1 day, and last month when the dath carnivore meat was really good I made about 3 mil. I just look at the trade forum regulary. Anytime there is a good spawn, people post about it on there. Just grab a crate of veghash and get to it. It works well for me.

hehe i buy thermals for 60-80k and imps for 40-44k (currently exhausting my 40k supplier, then moving on to 44k lol)
for money, since my templete is all wacky from grinding commando and i dont even have novice scout, i fly in jtl. duty missions and ship components make an alright payout. costs no buffs, and if your good, costs no repairs. only tier 2 atm, but higher lvl missions im sure will payout alot more.

My persona opinion, you should not look at doing this grind like this if you are NEEDING to make money AND get a jedi initiate quickly. By doing your way you are really hurting yourself on the XP you could get. I needed last night like 370k XP left to finish off the grind, and I was done within 4 hrs, however I was not looking at making money. I did spend 8 million roughly on this grind so I know what I am talking about when I say do not look to make money and get jedi quickly.
However, if you are looking at making jedi slow, then I would still buy more than 3 crates at a time and nade till u want to stop or max at least then after u max out the combat XP, I would then go to swords and gain cash before heading to the village. Like I said this is IF you need to make the cash as well. Also, by doing this cash way you will have more swords XP to transform to force as well.
I am Master Swordsman/Tka 4xxx/ Commanod 4xxx, so the choice is really do you NEED to make the money back, or do you just do it just b/c u can?

go 4xxx.
thermal detonators have way more impact...(AP)
you need much more imp detonators grinding to jedi.
I used to grind 900k fs xp with thermals each day...(had some free days rofl)...with imp detonators I usually reached 400-500k (then I got real tired and logged out)
and imp dets were 65k a crate, thermal 60k a crate...so that was easy to choose.
and buy some imp dets enough to get to commando 4xxx and then use the thermals.
more damage, less grenades, cheaper grind and less time.

Get scout.
Harvest every single creautre u kill with andes. go for hide if there isnt a good swapn. any hide from dant or dath can easily be put for 6 cpu on market and it pretty much insta sells.
In 1 crate of therms i can ahrvest about 6k in hide(0020) now if u factor that on insta sell u get aobut 36k. for me to go through a crate it takes me 4 lairs not in solo of pickets. at 9k a miss thats 36k more. so ur total for using 1 crate of nades and doing miss comes to 72k. even if u spend 60k on a crate + pups it can only go 70k. now you have a rough 2k made as profit. sometimes u can get lucky and get 4 lairs and around 7k hide. it can only rack up more and more. if u get commando mranger temp i hear u can get off about 10-11k hide within 3 lairs. i havent tried this myself but i feel it is probable.

If you are needing the cash then switch up from time to time. JTL component sales will definatley flush out your account plus it helps take care of the menoteny. You can also go someplace with a high NPC spawn rate and loot thier bodies for credits. Again the change out helps rest your throwing arm and works the wallet a little in the right direction.

I run solo GBN missions, 10 thermals each(2 stacks of 5), takes 12 missions(give or take) to max combat xp. 12 X 11k = 132k cr.I'm paying 125k a crate (thermals)on Chilastra.
