Thread: opening fs slot
So I got back and mastered Tailor and went to set up vendors and realized that in order to do what i wanted with my tailor shop I had to master merchant, my problem was I didnt want to drop doc wich is a proffesion ive had since day one. So I decide well ill get my FS slot opened and make them a merchant. I know that seems very silly to go through all that work just for a second slot but i assure you in my situation it was the best option. Anyway...
So I start working on the badges for glowing speant several hours reading posts and set out to get all the discover badges and pray they will get me glowy because I am a crafter I have no combat profession so i spend a couple hours doing that and no luck so my problem is
1. Why is the system set up so someone MUST have a combat proffesion to get glowwy?
2. Why is it that Even though id done half the work or more of becoming jedi BEFORE the change over I still have to do EVERYTRHING that the random guy who baught the game 2 weeks ago has to do to get jedi except for 1 free slot. (my husband and i were both on our silent halos and had completed the same amount of proffesions he got 2 free and i only got 1)

Im sure when the system was changed over this subject was talked to death but I looked and didnt see a post so I have to have my say. A few weeks ago I came back from a few month long break. Ive been playing since release and was also in the original beta when i left i was on my silent halo and had mastered Medic, Doc, Dancer, Weaponsmith, Armorsmith and Swordsman.So I got back and mastered Tailor and went to set up vendors and realized that in order to do what i wanted with my tailor shop I had to master merchant, my problem was I didnt want to drop doc wich is a proffesion ive had since day one.

ok this is from memory,
if you were on your silent holo on the old system,once you get glowy in the new system you should within a few days be visited by the old man as everyone else is. He will start you of on getting into the village, and you go through all that stuff, but once you get to the village, your progress in the old system is recognised, there were 4 hidden profs after you had done the 4 holo ones, now depending how many hidden ones you had hit you get some free unlocks for FS branches, including the exp to fill them,
the way it went was total number of profs needed for unlock hit post village - 2 = free unlock number, so at the least haveing done the 4 holo profs should grant you 2 free branches, and one additioal unlock for every other hidden prof you hit, up to 5 free unlocks if you hit 7 hidden profs.
and you are not required to have a combat prof for all the FS lines, some you are, some i believe you cant do with combat exp, it depends on the trees you want, a lot of people actually find doc a fast way to get up some of the FS branches.
but anyways, you should find your past progress is rewarded once you get to the village, hope this helps some
