4000 commando is the way to go if you want to use grenades... C12's are a real pain in the rear. I used to pick up a crate every now and then if I found em cheap on the bazaar just to supplement 2 handed and unarmed experience. If you don't care about making Jedi fast, then tkm/ms/mbrawler is a great template-2 prof's to max exp in, plus combat, plus you can kill NS's and krayts to store pearls and crystals for when you need them.
If you don't like the darkness, there is always ctrl-L, it is at least a little better that way. The main reason to grind on Dath is to avoid the added time of shuttles to/from dath so you can go village<->science OP at will.
A combat profession will get you 30k of FS exp for 900k weapon exp, and another 30k for the 90k combat exp you get, total of 60k. A single tree in FS takes roughly 1.2 mil exp. So you have to make 20 trips to the village to exchange exp. If you cap once a day, and exchange (just playing intense/normally, not just grinding) you can expect to make Jedi in 120 days of playing. If you use 4000 commando and imp dets, it cuts it down to ~12 caps of combat exp per tree, which you can easily do 2x a buff. You get 100k fs exp/cap for this, but it costs both template and credits.

Time to go commando I guess(no jokes), but the CTRL L helps, but still a little on the dark side. I'm not in a big rush to unlock, as I need 4 more trees to go, and two are a phase 4, so I have about 24 weeks to get the last combat tree I need. and if I do 2 major grind sessions a week, I should be close to max by the time I unlock.
I'm mainly doing 2 combat, 2 crafting and 2 senses trees, they are all skills that I use so that is why I picked them.
And one reason it takes me so long is I tend to go off and do other things while playing, not always hardcore grinding. Like I said, I know I will get there eventually, I'm not going to go too crazy with it.

HI trying to grind FS exp, and im MP and BH 0040 a friend told me its faster to grind with nades and that i didnt have to go 4000 commando and tkm (dont wanna drop my current template) so he gave me some standard nades. Went out solo-grouped to a giant baz-nitch lair went into the middle of it targeted the lair and started throwing the grenades, the problem was didnt seem to be hurting tha baz-nitches anymore than 150 dmg i checked the nades and they said 200-800 dmg! can anyone give me any advice on what to do?
thanks alot

Make sure they are C12 nades. Anything else and your damage will be minimal. Also check the blast rating on what you are attacking, if it has a high blast % then you won't do much damage.
Haven't found the best thing to throw nades at yet, but I'm still looking.

yep they are definatly c12 grenades, dunno about giant baz nitch resists just assumed they didnt have any as everyone seems to grind on them.. atm im doing well to get 100k fs exp per buff session just by capping pistols which by what i've read is very slow

That is pretty quick by my standards, took me about 4 days, I'd say about 5-6 buff sessions to get about 190k to unlock my first box.
I think there is a difference between the giant and regulat biz natches, but I really can't stand the darkness of dathomir(can't see anything) I tend to stick to tatooine, but I'm starting to try endor, but still slow, but I will unlock eventually.

i decided to go 4000 commando now and keep all my pistol skills, what do you suggest is the quickest way to grind that tree, cap pistol exp? or use c12's?

I just finished my grind, did it with c-12s, c-22s, and thermal dets here is how i did my grind:
c-12s--kill gualama or veermok lairs on naboo xp is light ranging from 600-1500 for gualamas and 800-2500 for veermoks but they have no blast resistance and relatively low ham so they die fast, and lairs have a ton of them.
c-22s(must have novice commando)-- more of the same thime mainly veermoks they just drop faster now that c-22s have more damage, if you have good armor go for bigger game like bolle bol lairs they give an average of 3500+10% for a kill and lairs spawn a ton, once again on naboo.
thermal dets(4xxx commando)- imp dets really arent worth it, for an extra hour you can have the same damage as imp dets but the thermal dets have medium AP which =faster kills, i tried several different mobs from various planets and i found once again bolle bols to be the best overall. again 3500+10% and very very fast kills. the way to do it with thermal dets is get 2 missions in the same direction(obviously). Go to the first one and target the lair and throw your nades. when all the bolle bols have stopped spawning STOP DO NOT KILL THE LAIR. go to you next mission, target the lair and STOP when no more spawn DO NOT KILL THE LAIR. Go back to the first mission more have spawned like its a fresh mission this time kill the lair and go back to the second mission and kill it. This way its like you get 4 missions worth of xp for running to the terminal once. by doing this i was able to get 400k fs p an hour the only thing that stopped me from getting more is that god awful drive to the village.
But if you are going to nade grind, screw your template and get 4xxx commando its so much easier and better, and your gunna screw your template up with jedi so might as well start now

u can use c12's but they wont be very good im commando and whenu go up that field tactics box it helps alot becuase of the damage and accuracy u have with nades.
