There are 32 professions in the game.

The early system to get Jedi was to master 5 'HOLO' professions. These were 5 random professions. As a guide you could obtain holocrons, which would tell you up to 4 of your secret professions. The 5th one was up to you to find.

This meant that you could literally go through all 32 proffessions before unlocking your 2nd slot.

Sometime early in 2004 the devs decided too many people were unlocking and secretly upped the number of required professions to 8. You could still unlock in as little as 8, if you were extremely lucky.

Under the new system, they decided to give free branches as credit for how many of the 8 secret proffessions you had mastered.

If you had masted 1 out of 8 you got 0 unlocks.

2/8 = 0 unlocks

3/8 = 1 unlock

4/8 = 2 unlocks

5/8 = 3 unlocks

6/8 = 4 unlocks

7/8 = 5 unlocks

8/8 = 6 unlocks (between patch 8 and 9 when the old and new systems were in transition)

Of course this meant if you had never touched a holocron, then you could theoretically have done 26 professions and still have got 0 unlocks at the village.

the 32 profs excluded the 4 introduced by JTL (3x pilot and SW)

My record :

Char 1 - 14 profs, 0 unlocks

Char 2 - 12 profs , 1 unlock

Char 3 - 9 profs , 0 unlocks.

If you can afford approx 6-8 million, then go commando. It will amaze you how quickly it goes.

I used C12 nades yesterday to get ranged support 4, as I only needed that to start combat medic. After struggling along with my pistol for a few hours, to get the first few thousand, I got 22k in about 20 mins.

no, you are correct. if you didn't participate in the holocron grind you will get no free unlocks. basically if you don't know what an unlock is, or how to obtain it, it's about 99% chance you will not get any free unlocks.

I did 3 holocrons, the fourth was silent 1- TKM 2- MBH 3- Master Dancer 4- Silent

I then did a heap of other proffs.

Should this not entitle me to some free unlocks?

If so how do i go about obtaining these unlocks? I have just had a visit from the old man, and siths, now at village.

Warrior,

I mastered all but like 4 professions and I was given 5 free unlocks. You should be entitled to some unlocks. When you talk to the old man at the village center there should be an option that gives you the unlocks. I believe it is the 5th one down, but I do not remember the exact words.

I suggest getting one unlock at a time and then going to train up the tree before you do the second unlock. This will keep you from maxing out on XP.

There is no max FS xp. You can do all six unlocks and stillbankall theFS xp you will need to fillthem. This is probably better, since you don't have to give up skill points until you are ready to fill them all up and go for the exit quest. The FS skills aren't particularly useful and you need max professions to get the xp in a timely fashion.

I went and spoke to paemos, I clicked on the tab I wish to learn more about the force, something like that, It then came up with a list of all the force skills. it said i had 2 free unlocks left!
