Ok, I understand the 4 phases of the path to FS, but what I still can't find any clear answer on is what belefit the people will get who grinded their holocron professions (and a lot more after that) in achieving their FS slot. Does anyone know?

Supposedly you will get visited by the old man faster, I guess.

Apparently you can skip some of the quests allowing you to train some of the FS skills (as long as you have surplus XP to trade). Not muchof a benefit considering the amount of professions people have done.

Brekkee - *Cebre* Exactly what credit will be given to those people who have not yet unlocked but have done several holocrons?
justG - You will be able to qualify for the Old Man visit sooner. You will also get partial credit for the quests you have to complete.

Ok, the visit of the old man I understand, though it means nothing. People can get that visit in a day with a new character as well.
But what is partial credit?
- Some of the 24 boxes?
- Some of the unlocks of the different branches?
- Something else?

No-one REALLY knows atm, but it is unlikely that the visit from the old man will be as quick as it is on TC
Brekkee - *TheLateAnakinSolo* The current testers on TC have found out that in order to progress in becoming FS, you need to do 7 select badges. Getting the FS skill trees also do not take long, and can be done in under a week. Are these systems going to be implemented on live, or is it just a fill for the new systems that will be put in? Is the current system on TC a shortened quest, XP trade, or FS system?
justG - The Test Center quests are extremely accelerated.
justG - in order to get good testing done
justG - for example, we are currently bouncing TC2 3 times per day, taking the village through cycles that on live would be 9 weeks.
TH - heh

I would imagine the main thing being what the above poster said - we get Jedi XP credit for other proff XP, but I would guess that most hologrinders did not max out on proff XP.
Perhaps we will geta betterJedi XP -> XP conversion rate for holocron proffs, or if you have masteredall combat proffs then you will get a boost in the FS combat tree and ditto for all crafting proffs ... that only just occured to me but it could make sense (though a lot of HGswould loose out i think)
