Thread: Holocron Grinder
You will still get your free unlocks for the holo's you grinded. Guild mate just entered the villiagea few days ago and got 1 free unlock.
As I understood it...Holocrons gave you the first 4 professions that you needed to grind out. After that there was a random selection of 4 more professions that comprised a pool of additional professions.
At first, you needed to master only 1 of these 4 professions to unlock. Hence alot of ppl unlocked w. 8-10 masteries.
As the Hologrind ended, the Devs changed the hologrind so you had to master all 8 professions that comprised your holo profession pool. In other words...grind those 4 given holo professions..then hope you pick wisely and get the next 4 done quickly.
As for me, I grinded 4 holo-professions....then grinded 26 more professions...and still didn't unlock...and to make matters worse, when I got to the village, I was only granted 4 free unlocks. In otherwords if I wanted that Jedi unlock prior to publish 9, I would have had to do all 32 professions.
I did 14 profs on my main and 13 on my second account.
On my main I got 0 unlocks.
On my second account I got 1 unlock.
Unless you actually did all 4 holos before publish 9, you will not get any credit at all. The 4 silents were 4 random profs and you had to get all 4 silent as well if you wanted all the free unlocks.
So it was a table like this :
1 Holo prof - 0 unlocks
2 Holo prof - 0 unlocks
3 Holo prof - 1 unlock
4 Holo prof -2 unlocks
5 Holo prof -3 unlocks
6 Holo prof -4 unlocks
7 Holo prof -5 unlocks
8 Holo prof -6 unlocks
The OP problem is going to be how to prove you got those profs before Pub 9. Additionally if you were a really early player, there was a bug at some point in 2003 that basically cancelled some of the profs you had done, but this was before the holocron system I believe.
