If so, Im a little scared.

The cap for weapons XP is 900,000 yes? So if that translates to 30,000 FS xp per-cap, and I can cap once per-buff at Master Swordsman, that means around 266 buff sessions to fill six full trees of FS? Heh, Im not moanin, just wondering if Im going to have to quit college and become a recluse in order to get one tree of Force Powers

no thats 60k FS EXP

You will get 90k combat exp with the 900k swords exp

Ah right, so if I grind hard, two to three buffs a day weekends and one a night weekdays, I could probably finish 'em off in about a month? I hear theres no cap on FS xp, so I was just planning to grind as much as I can before the CU and then unlock whichever trees are most useful then.

Not at 30:1 trade in. That is 30k plus the combat exp which is about 100k that tades down to round 20k fs= 50k fs xp per cap of profession in weapons. In a weapons cap you can buy a novice box.

Allow me to introduce you to my good friends, Mr. Thermal Det and his wife Imp Det. They're helping me with my FS XP grind. I'm banking approximately 350K FS combat XP per buff session (usually more). See your local weaponsmith for more info (be sure to grind commando 4000 first). With some good grenades and powerups you can change that from 266 buff sessions to 25.

Credits spent on buffs (judging from the buff prices on Bloodfin right now):

266 x 13k = 3458000

25 x 13k = 325000

3133000 credits saved on buffs (spent on grenades instead though, so it's a wash)

Time spend grinding

266 x 3hrs = 798hrs

If you play one buff session per day, that's obviously 266 days. Two per day will get you down to about 4 months, and three gets you down to about 3 months.

25 x 3hrs = 75hrs

Even with just one buff session per day, you're down to less than a month. Oh... and guess what happens in a little over a month? The combat upgrade. Good luck grinding out FS XP after that hits.

*sigh*

I was hoping to avoid the 'nade-grind, but when you break it down like that, it's really the only option to get it done before the CU

Thanks mate.

The way you need to look at it is...
You'll need to change your template anyway, once you reach Jedi. So why not just get used to changing it now, remove the attachments to certain professions you have. And go for commando to nade grind.

Once you hit Padawan, you can then get all your old skills back by putting them on your second char slot

It seems very daunting doing the grind without nades, and i wouldn't wish it on anyone. However, those that do it are doing a good job.
If you cap once a day, you will have enough xp for one whole branch of fs boxes every 3 weeks. So if you're only just starting, then the only thing nades will help out with is getting the xp banked faster. You'll still be gated by the 3 week phase shifts.
However, at least you won't need to grind more xp if you've got it all banked real fast

It's 6 of one and half a dozen of the other. Good luck, which ever way you decide to grind.
