Thread: What's best way to get Force-Sensitive crafting xp?

So ok as shipwrights it'd be easy as hell to xp up the force crafting trees as we make everything by hand. But of course we can't do that . So I'm wondering what's the easiest way to do that for us shipwrights without dropping the profession.


Currently I'm master shipwright, master artisan, master merchant. I'm considering crafting swoops and other bikes, since that'd allow me to sell them and make a profit while I do it. But I think that'd probably be pretty slow. I've heard the fastest way to do it is with architect and gungan head statues.


Anyone have any experience and advice on it?

I finished out my last column to get master force crafting by doing advanced droid frames (blueprints 2)


It may not be as fast as gungan head statues, but it has a 5:1 conversion ratio and requires a lot less in the way of resources.

You don't want to do it with gungan heads. The ADFUs are the way to go. Or, if you can coordinate the components and resources, the BLLs at DE 0004.

Expensive.


Honestly... the best way to do it is to get a combat toon, unlock with combat and then make your alt your shipwright toon again. Afterwards you can always unsub your first account.

What if giving up Shipwright won't work for you? I say this because if I do so, it will be an extremely lenghty period of time before I can get my character up to the point where I can unlock. Once I do unlock, my Alt character will become a Master Shipwright, but in the meantime, I am unwilling to drop shipwright to work that up...

Once I do get Master Shipwright, with my alt, I will drop Master Shipwright on my primary in no time flat.

Personally, I gathered up the resources needed to make 7500 advanced droid frame units and ground till my fingers bled during that 10-day period that they gave us double-XP (right around July 4th). This gave me enough for Force Assembly and Force Experimentation. I love double-XP for Force XP, because it is actually quadruple-XP


I couldn't imagine doing this without the double-XP. I'd probably still be grinding--arghhh.

I also did the Advance Droid Frames for my last column.


It requires only two very commonresources (steel and fiberplast) so a crafting macro's time can be cut down to almost nothing.


It is only three skill slots (Novice DE, Blueprints I and II) which you can grind up to with MSE Droids rather easily.


The conversion rate is 5:1 for force exp.


I was actually able to drop harvesters right outside of the village for both the fiberplast and steel so I never had to leave the village to 'level up' and keep on running back to turn in my exp.


During the double exp time, I was grinding out 92K FORCE exp every 20 minutes, and could immediately turn it in and begin again (of course I was a MDE so my exp cap was higher than you'll have with just blueprints 2 - but it just means you'll haveta turn it in more often).


I finished my last column somewhere between 4-6 hours. That was with having almost all the materials needed on hand (I had to mine about 200K of Fiberplast).
