Thread: those who grinded ws for holo
i did engi 1, 2 , 3 , 4 , and then all the way to master WS in 2 days:--)
I was lucky i had some ws friends the helpt me with the resourses like that Hydron gas that you need for the HW grind ;-)
Greetings ;-)
I did a rough calculation yesterday as I am in the process of making a master WS and if you do the projectile riffle barrel route you I think you can make master in a 13 hourish stint of non stop clicking. You fisrt have to gather something like 450K of metal though for the grind.
If i remember correctly yeach barrel uses a total of 46 units of resource (metal). Each one you make yields 94xp. But to make PRB's you need to have firearms crafting 1 1st, to get this = 35 000 XP. You get this by making metal staffs @ 88XP per staff. Each staff needs 42 metal and you need to make a total of 398 this = a totaL of 16 716 units of metal.
Total XP to get master is 896 000. So far you have made 35 000, thereforeyou have 861 000 to go.
Now for projectile barrels.
I believe they make 94xp each at a cost of 46 units of metal.
therefore to get master by making prb = making 9160 barrels @ 46units each = 421360 units of metal.
now to the total time.
I have a macro that uses 8 crafting tools. As i only need to double click on one resource twice to fill the material slots of the schematic I have a 3 sec pause untill the /nextCraftingStage; line. Add to this the 1 sec pause between each tool cycle that means I can cycle each tool every 4 secs therefore i will be getting XP every 4 secs.
XP per minute = 1410 (15 * 94)
XP per hour = 84 600
it is therefore possible to make master WS in approx 11-12hours (this includes time for training and the 1st box grind)
Hope this helps
Yes thats with having everything there and ready.
Not everyone that grinds does it for holos btw.
Guide for alternative grinding. Its usually lurking within first 3 pages here. Lags too much for me to dig it up myself ![]()
