One thing that the people who are anti-grind are forgetting. The combat balance (nerf) is on the horizon. From what some of the correspondants have hinted it will be much more difficult to solo mobs this way and collect this kind of xp after the CB.
My advice, do it while you still can.

A master rifleman in my guild got the 900K cap 3 times yesterday. It is very possible.
Why rush it though? Just play the game and enjoy.

Yes I can earn that in a day. It takes me about 2 hours of killing stuff to max my unarmed xp. However, I just started classes now, second year college, and with the work load I'll have less time to play. Of course, I may have enough to still do it, but you know, I definately am not going to spend my little time in the game grinding experience the whole time.

My BE needs meat, I'm gonna go hurt some rancors tonight. They seem to go pretty quick.
Unless something better than carnivore meat from Dath comes up tonight that is (and in decent drop amounts)

I was reading somewhere (lost track of the post) that said that on TC they changed the FS conversion again? Is this true? And if this is true, then getting 900k exp a day doesnt seem so bad anymore. Can anyone confirm this?

If it's 60k XP per lair, that means you killed 15 lairs in 45 minutes. That's 3 minutes per lair with no time for getting the missions from the terminal or traveling to/from the lairs. You sure you got this right?

I believe you can with ease simply because we are all masters of an elite professions and gaining xp as a master is 3 times faster than when we were grinding up that elite profession tree......when we were grinding a profession, we were slower (spd), weaker (damaga and specials) and our defense was not very high.
As master and in most cases master of multiple elite professions, doc and ent buffs, great armor, good chef foods, uber weapons, solo groups and knowing the most efficient way of grinding....we can easily get 900k xp. it's even easier when you go to those quick static spawn spots like squill cave, tusken camp, geo cave and so on.
900k weapons xp is easy and 300k combat xp is even easier (minus trying to actually find some good grenades).
Oh, and medic xp is probably easier to get than weapons xp when your a CM......durban village on talus and a crap load of ranged poisons......talking easy medic xp.....but I know that will be nerfed soon....they will probably take away gaining more xp on a creature when it's already poisoned and you hit it with another poison....OPPS! did I open my big mouth....hehe.....dont' worry devs already know about it....

I think the REAL question is: Can you grind 225,000 dance exp per day? Or 150,000 tailor exp per day?
Combat's easy - you really need to feel for those people trying for the two non-combat related FS trees.

Anyone have any experience trying with either Creature Handler or Fencer to get the xp?

Lets see, just for fun.
900K weapon exp plus 90k combat exp in 3 hours - that's pretty relaxed for a melee class with armor & buffs - that's 60k FS exp in 3 hours, or 20k per hour
Master Dancer in a full group of 20 gets, oh 120 exp per 10 seconds of straight flourishing.
120exp/10sec * 3600sec/hour = 43200 exp/hour * 3 hours = 129,600 dance exp, or 12,960 FS exp - 4,320 FS exp per hour.
20k per hour vs. 4.3k per hour? And the combatants make decent money as well.
Disparity?

Yeah, I feel for dancer...I have a dancer alt and the xp is sooooooooooo sloooooooowwwww......dancer and musician xp should be 1 -> 1 conversion.
also, if an ent. wants to become a jedi, then they have to do combat, crafting or healing anyway.....the quickest, easiest and less frustrating way to get a jedi is to do the combat related branches.
If they just want FS, then the only line they need is the one for dance/music healing. In which case, you'd be better off doing medic xp instead of dancer xp since you have to have medic skills to unlock the line anyway...there are no ent. mission that will unlock a branch in FS....so sad...devs missed that one.
