I know I need 24 boxes... but does it matter what 24 I learn? I want some Healing and Melee Defense, but both are Phase 4 and I dont want to wait months for the other to come back. So I figure to learn something else I dont care for but something I can get now. Does it really matter what I get?

In my opinion I just get whats fastest but in doing so i have gotten some of the tree's I wanted so im happy. Friends of mine have waited and waited to get the ones they wanted so they had everything they wanted. If it matters I wouldnt think it makes much of a differnce deppending on what trees, the bonuses are big enough to make some differnce but I dont think its worth waiting weeks for.

Other than you need to have 6 trees at level 4, not 12 trees at lvl 2 or anything like that, no it doesn't really matter.

Ok because I have enough FS exp fora full treein Reflexesand I wanted to use them on Melee Defense, but I cant wait. The only thing I can use them on now in this phase is Vehicle Control and I dont even know what I'd need that for? I am a Pikeman/TKM with 16 boxes done, so Melee Defense would be nice (I was also going for Healing - I have enough for the first 2 boxes in FS Senses). But Healing and M Defense are in Phase 4 so I would have to wait months. I am thinking "screw it, go for vehicle control". Does it make sense to do that?

the only ones that REALLY matter are melee accuracy, melee speed, ranged defense, melee defense, and you might want the survival tree so u dont run extremely slow when trying to run from BH's =P, especially around hills.

As a weaponsmith with rifleman I was only after the crafting trees mainly and the ranged bits. luckily for me i started in phase 4 so i can unlock all 4 crafting then do phase 4 and 1 combat (which i already have all the combat xp for.)

The really anoying thing is that weaponsmith is extreemly slow or expensive to grind. You can either make metal staffs at 89xp each (bear in mind you need about 4.8mil fs xp for the full set of trees making 24million weapon crafting xp at the normal rates) using normal metal (the cheap way) projectile rifle barrels giving more xp but using more specific resources (costing more) or heavy warheads giving 700 odd xp but requiring rare and as a result mega expensive resources.

Since you get 2xp per unit of ore you use under normal circumstances and the cheapest way gets means u can usually get 2cpu metal for staffs you are looking at spending 24 million creds on metal for grinding.

Also at around 30 seconds per staff, it will take about 2000 hours of making staffs.

Damn

Or 266 hours with heavy warheads.

Given that it has taken me about 6 hours to grind enough combat xp for 2 full trees I believe this is a little dishartening

Another thing to keep in mind is that you can always get whatever FS trees you want later on. That's what I'm doing. Get whichever you need in order to get jedi the fastest, then after you make paddy (but before you make full temp, as you will have to have 4 sp available, and jedi exp doesn't convert to FS), train a 7th tree in what you want, then drop a tree you don't want, and just keep doing this until you have all the FS trees you want.

So to be clear: If I learn 6 skill trees to level 4 and do the Exit mission/Padawan trial stuff, I become a Padawan. At that point if I want to I can go back and learn another tree to 4, then drop one of the existing trees I learned earlier on? I thought once you had learned a FS skill you were stuck with it period...


I am doing this for the alt, and at least at the moment have little interest in becoming a Jedi, but I would like to ensure I get the best options for my FS crafter when I am done. If I can drop a FS skill as long as I retain 24 skill boxes in 6 skill tree lines, then that would be terrific.

I heard that the FS really don't matter as far as a Jedi is concerned - only for your other professions.


As a MDE that had a TON of grinding steel and fiberplast, I set up macros to grind away Advanced Droid Frames. During the double experience time, I was making 92K FS exp every 20 minutes!


Of course now I have carpel tunnel...
