Thread: 21.6K Merchant xp per Character a day

Hi all Merchants out there, I've got a method that will allow you to grind out merchant in approximately 4 days..


It uses the standard macro for using a vendor however it allows you to target multiple vendors in sequence and basically multiply merchant xp of a character by the amount of vendors you have..


One character is worth 200xp per hour.

That is 3.6K per day for looking at one vendor. (18hr day)

So once you get 6 vendors this adds up to 21.6K per 18hr day.


At the moment I've got 5 chars doing this for a friend. So add that xp (108K) per 18hr day plus whatever she gets for her vendors per day she will master merchant rather fast


Even if you dont have 5 chars it is still a quick method..


I'm not sure if your allowed to post macros on the boards but if people are interested I can give to them directly or I'll post it on the boards if it is ok..


If you know this method then please disregard all I've said

Xp is tracked by Player not by vendor


having 1 char look at all 6 vendors in a row does not net anymore than 50xp per 10 minutes. You'll recieve 50 xp for the first one they look at and 0 for the next 5 (assuming it is before the 10 minute timer). I wish it worked the way you descirbed it . you do get more get faster xp for having differnt people look at it but each will have the same 10m timer on them.


My advice is if you have 5 char running just have 1 on each vendor easier to macro that way and less cycling to mess up

Here is the macro to select and view multiple vendors with one character thereby multiplying your xp by amount of vendors you look at..

To start with you need to click each of the vendors you are going to use in sequence.

Then add the following macro, 1 for each vendor you areusing.


The following is for two vendors..


/ui action cycleTargetPrev;
/pause 2;
/ui action vendorUse;
/pause 5;
/ui action defaultButton;
/pause 5;


/ui action cycleTargetPrev;
/pause 2;
/ui action vendorUse;
/pause 5;
/ui action defaultButton;
/pause 5;



There it is, good luck levelling merchant.

Interesting. Leave it to the hologrinders to discover new and improved ways to get XP faster than the developers intended. I'm at 0034 now, I'll be gaining xp at 150xp per hr per vendor until I'm master. This reminds me of the musician macro to get 4x the xp and do 30 second full buffs, or doing an ID macro with a 3rd party clicker to master ID in 3 hrs.


I seriously can't wait until the Jedi revamp. Then the only people doing professions will be those who chose to.

i take great offence to this, 1) yes leave it to a holo grinder to get xp jsut as fast as the devs intened, i know 30 people that could do this for me and i could master even faster, but i don't want to bother them jarik is jsut being a realyl good friend and helping with a profession that i can do nothnig to get xp for


2) the 30 second buff thing is a bug, and a cheat, this isn't you get xp every 15 mintues jsut liek it's set up to be so


3) there are tons of people that jsut want to get through this class as fast as they can instead of speending a month or 6 to get it. Jarik didn't ahve to share his macro he did so to help people, and this is an IN GAME MACRO using only the commands that SONY allows us to use. There is no differance between this and having 5 peopel sit there and open the vendors for me manually, he had greatly slowed down everything he wants to do to help me and figure out how to help others so instead of callnig us cheats you should be saying thank you for the help. If you REALLY want to do this prof the long hard way with no one buying stuff from you or opening vendors ever for you, go for it, i'm not gonna stop you but don't call us cheats when what we're donig is 100% IN REGULATIONS.



4) and what does any of this have to do with 3rd party macros? this is an IN GAME macro that you can type in and have work for you. there is no 3rd party anything here and the implications that there is, i feel is VERY serious, you need to watch your wording please.



some people are never greatful.... next time we find a way to help people i think we'll jsut keep it to ourself so ungrateful people such as yourself won't have anything to complain about. atleast that's what i'm gonna ask of my friend. Who, like i stated earlier posted this macro on here to help people, and as far as holo grinding yuppers i am. novice merchant might be nice once i'm done but for now and with publish 9 comming very soon i don't have the time or the pleasure to wait it out like the ''good old days'' and i don't feel bad in the least going through a profession i don't want, but will do for the badge and a holo grind (still need the last 5 profs for bages for my 100 badges badge) after 27 professions i'm kinda tired of doing them the slow way, and i'm clsoe to the prize, this is where i'm gonna push harder so as i find faster, honest, ways IN GAME WITHOUT USING A BUG OR EXPLOIT to lvl i'm gonan do it you know i can master rifleman killnig chuba's also, but am i gonan do that? no.



ok i started to rant anyways, use teh macro as intended in game as it was posted here to HELP people, or don't it's your choice.


all i can say is, (clears throat) master emrchant in 1 and 1/2 more days and prof badge #27 yay!

You should...


1) yes leave it to a holo grinder to get xp jsut as fast as the devs intened, i know 30 people that could do this for me and i could master even faster, but i don't want to bother them jarik is jsut being a realyl good friend and helping with a profession that i can do nothnig to get xp for

Maybe you could play the profession instead of seeing how fast you can grind it? What's the point in even having XP if you just intend to get to master in 30 seconds?


2) the 30 second buff thing is a bug, and a cheat, this isn't you get xp every 15 mintues jsut liek it's set up to be so

It's set up for per player, not per vendor. If it's now per vendor, there somethign was introduced that wasn't there before, or there is some loophole. The DEVS intended 50 xp per view per player per time period, not 50 xp per view per vendor per time period. Read the guide posted in this forum, read every post written answering hwo to get XP. Doing Merchant with viewing every vendor is a bug.


3) there are tons of people that jsut want to get through this class as fast as they can instead of speending a month or 6 to get it. Jarik didn't ahve to share his macro he did so to help people, and this is an IN GAME MACRO using only the commands that SONY allows us to use.

Where did I say cheats? Perhaps you should stop being defensive and read what I wrote? Do you feel guilty of something?


4) and what does any of this have to do with 3rd party macros? this is an IN GAME macro that you can type in and have work for you. there is no 3rd party anything here and the implications that there is, i feel is VERY serious, you need to watch your wording please.


I did watch my wording, did you check your glasses? I said ID. Image Designer. As there is no accept macro, people have resorted to using autoclicking programs. I said nothing about a 3rd party program and merchant. Again you are defensive.


some people are never greatful.... next time we find a way to help people i think we'll jsut keep it to ourself so ungrateful people such as yourself won't have anything to complain about. atleast that's what i'm gonna ask of my friend.

Wow, you just summed up why people dislike hologrinding and why they don't like helping them. Thank you for putting your own foot in your mouth.


ok i started to rant anyways, use teh macro as intended in game as it was posted here to HELP people, or don't it's your choice.

ditto, but until then you surely realize that many people will be doing this (and 31 other professions) because of the current system. don't hate the player, hate the game

I don't hate anyone. Hate is a very strong word. And yes, I dislike the way the game is set up to force people to macro their way to all the professions to get Jedi. That is their choice, not mine. But when people come to the forums for a profession I love and I play and either say "Sheesh this profession sucks, tell me how to macro through it so I can be done with this trash" or find new ways to beat the system, then I have to say my peace.


It's not the players macroing their way through professions that is the problem, it is the attitude of some of those players, specifically when they ask for help or they reference the profession. The teen angst is boring.

hehe, sorry didn't mean to make it sound like it did... its not 'hate' like 'i hate writing case briefs.' pretty much i meant don't get mad at someone who's playing within the rules, blame their behavior on the rules and those who made them.

ummm yeah play a merchant os i can get /added ignored in corenet oh wait i'll whine until i can get droids that can't be ignored to put up spam for me..


2) the 30 second buff thing is a bug, and a cheat, this isn't you get xp every 15 mintues jsut liek it's set up to be so

it's always been 50 per person per vednor try it some time.


Where did I say cheats? Perhaps you should stop being defensive and read what I wrote? Do you feel guilty of something?


no i feel just fine, elitiest like you are just always annoying expecally about classes that have been teh worst idea in any game (ie merchant anything under the entertainer tree etc)


I did watch my wording, did you check your glasses? I said ID. Image Designer. As there is no accept macro, people have resorted to using autoclicking programs. I said nothing about a 3rd party program and merchant. Again you are defensive.


3RD party clickers are cheats, other wise they wouldn't be 3RD PARTY.


Wow, you just summed up why people dislike hologrinding and why they don't like helping them. Thank you for putting your own foot in your mouth.


never put my foot in my own mouth, i hate this class, i hate anything in the entertainer tree, and msot combat to be honest.


ok i started to rant anyways, use teh macro as intended in game as it was posted here to HELP people, or don't it's your choice. ^^^^ umm this the only spelling mistake you want to point out mr Troll?


all i can say is, (clears throat) master emrchant in 1 and 1/2 more days and prof badge #27 yay!

Need I say more?




obviously your ego says you do >shrug< doesn't matter to me blah blah blah all you want, 100% truth, this class and anything in the entertainer line is for people that honestly don't want to play the game, or for people that that don't know how to. The only excpetion i can see to that are the miners that use it for the matanace reduction.


guys, seriously, this class isn't that hot and shouldn't be considered that hot no matter what, you're not some special class, you put up vendors... um yay.... seriously yay...


The class isn't worth having, it's kinda like the BH of the non-combat classes, looks cool, but there's nothing to it and never will be.




oh and jsut so i can say i am being creative... you guys are merchants wouldn't it be nice as a master merchant to ahve a skill like a permanent smuggler terminal slice wehre you can get your group more money for their missions due to their haggling skills? nuff said.



(puts on flame and troll proof suit) oh one last thing after reading the boards why does it not surprise me that it's you that had to be the first flamer korrack? hmmm seems to be a trend in every post i read....

BS. we came here offering HELP to those that wanted to do it quickly and your first post was a direct shot at em and my friend. Until you started in on your little spheel the worst i had done was called someone a cracker, you need to remove your head from where the sun don't shine on you and realize that this is not a profession to love and adore to paly, you do nothing at all as a merchant. seriously you put up vendors... ohhhh pay less for your house? what else? nothing. This post is to help those people that realize this and want to TEF those stupid barker droids they gave you that we can't /addignore now to shut them up like we did you when you were doing it, and destroy them.


That's my next project i think. anyways enough of that, if you don't want the macro that's fine it's ehre for the people that do.
