Ive decided to get Force Sensitive Crafting. That way I can be a +12 ws without needing to wear bandoliers and silly-ass hats.
To do this I was saddened to learn that despite having max experience on all my craftin tree's I didnt even finish novice !
So having lost the will to grind a fantastic, inspirational thought crawled into my shell-like.
I hired my children (I have loads of em) at $2 per 25k of grind...they are very young and consider $2 a significant amount...muhahahahaha)
Anyway...near patricide broke out over the weekend as one of my kids discovered their grind from 110k of exp on (they can barely read) stopped at 120k.....
I went to check this out and yes,.....weapon crafting experience (of which I need 875,000 ... with my normal grounded weapon getting me 94) ....so now....
not only do I have to master Weaponsmith 7times over again....I also need to drive to the stoopid village 7 times to convert my skill cap !!!!!!
Nicely thought out and tested that one.............
Oh and as a by the by...this is why Im AFK alot. Ive told the kids not to reply as they will be kidnapped and abused if they do.
I feel like a shoe manufacturer.....Bob'the Builder "Just Grind It"

Im not overly proud of having to push my children into near forced weapon manufacture...hmmm perhaps a sentance not to be quoted at my hearing....
However, they are all young enough to still love me...I should exploit this now....as in later years my role as a taxi driver and policeman (thats what many parents become) will be less rewarding.
Also when your little, repetition is good.
I have also introduced a special system to make it even more fun....I give out 'shiny' two dollars to whichever child breaks the 100k exp barrier....this engenders actual fighting amongst the children as to who's turn it is to grind next !!!!

I certainly don't condone the use of children in this fashion.
The irony of all this is that FS crafting will not make you a "12 point" weaponsmith. At best, it will function as a de facto extra experimentation point under certain circumstances.
You may want to rethink all this...

They probably don't get the chance to 'play' SWG otherwise as the parents are on it. I would use em if I had any I just prefer the practice option on the the children crafting screen

Yeh just discovered that the exp isnt real exp...ah well i still want the higher amazings......
1 of my kids plays (and has his own account that he gets instead of pocket money...he refuses to grind).
The other 3 are too young to realise my cruelty. They like the clicking and the fact they are working on Dad's game...which normally gets them yelled at if they try to take control of Bob on his speeder etc....
They will in time all get their own accounts in whatever future game they wish....
And anyway...they were wasting their time on Barbie Pet Detective (crap game...no mulit-player options and the devs suck) and reading books and stuff...so its not like they are being deprived now......

Ummm, you do realize that you only get a bonus to experimentation, not +2 points to use, correct?
Interesting use of the kids btw.
