I've been doing the nade grind with just C12's and have been doing pretty well, but I'm basically capping once a night before I'm dozing at the keyboard. I currently have 3 full trees, working on 4th box of a fourth tree, and need to fill trees 5 & 6. I wasn't too worried about getting the FS stuff finished before the CU because I had planned under the premise that I would cap at least twice a night.
Alas it is not so. I know now the most I'm going to cap now with the C12's is once per night (2.5 lairs). Now I can usually play during the week for 3 hours a night (staying awake is a different story hehe). I'm fairly confident I can attain Master Marksman and Commando 3-0-0-0 for the imp dets, but just wondering how much faster it really is and if it is even worth trying at this stage of the game.
I currently use about 20 stacks of C12s per spawn and am wondering how much faster this goes with the imp dets and whether or not I should bother changing direction now or if I should just keep plugging away as is and hope I get a full weekend of grinding in at some point this month.
Thanks

If you are doing right, you get 300k fsxp for 1 buff session.
If you are lucky, you might get 350-400k fsxp for 1 buff session.

Yep I agree, I was commando 3000 and didn't really hard-core grind and managed to cap 3 times per buff session.

Using commando, I cap my xp about 2 - 3 times a buff. I take my time tho. I am trying to unlock before the CU so I've been doing at a minimum of 2 buffs a night.
But I usually make about 400k in those 2 buffs.

Thanks for the replies. I guess at 300k per buffI cant go wrong and it seems even now it would be worth taking the time to grind marksman/commando so I guess tonight I'll fly around buying weapons

Before you do that I would suggest checking cost. I made a ton of Money as an ID and a Master Doc. and use Thermals (when I can find them) and Imps with pup's I have grinded 5 branches and 1/4 of my g'th. including the cost of armor/or armor repair, grenades, and pup's on your server. this could be very costly for you. I have figured including buffs armor, armor repair kits. powerups and nades, i have spent somewhere i estimate near 15 mill maybe more. proaboably more. So if you dont think u can afforad it it may not be worth changing your template

Thanks Dasha. I know it's expensive, but I really only have two fullbranches I need to fill so I don't think it is going to hurt my wallet as much as it would for someone starting from scratch. I should have enough cash for the nades, buffs, and armor. The hard part is actually finding the armor - a lot of the AS's on my server have stopped producing cause they saving resources and waiting to see how the CU turns out. So far I've been able to find what I need tho
