Opened My First Holo!Follow

My suggestion... stop holo grinding.

It's probably the worst thing that ever happened to the game. Plus, at this point, it isn't likely you will pop your Jedi before they stop allowing holo Jedi to appear anyways.

I suggest you just buy low quality resources, and grind out i think.... walls.

You might just wanna sit tight until the new Jedi system is out.... that was supposed to come out in patch 8!

Architect does either cost alot of credits or will take ages. For me it did both...

Trade ya. My first holo was Master Bio Engineer. That was originally in Nov or Dec before the Christmas gifts. Then I dropped it in mid Jan. Then re started it in Mid Feb and now I'm at level III of all the trees. Just need 80k times 3 plus 80k DNA. Ugh. Another month or so and I can get to My second holo.
Come on Squad leader. Or some other easy grind.

Oh, by the way...
I'm a novice in about 6 different professions. Now if I opened a holo that was about to say "Scout" and I had already started, I think I read that it would say "Continue on your current path." Considering all those professions I have that are a bit handy but that I don't intend to master (Medic), I'm a little worried that might happen. Unless I have it wrong (I hope) and the thing would still tell me.

I thought long and hard about starting Holos, but as I understand it, this big Droid publish was fairly recent, right? I'd imagine the new Jedi Path will take a lot of work, and be buggy as snot, etc. I read somewhere that we might not see it till September. Plus they'll probably compensate us, and it gives me a certain lift to be at the beginning of my path to Jedi.

I was asking for help with Architect, the only thing about my original post that involves the Jedi path is the reason I'm doing Architecture...

Also, I've been trying to get a macro to work for crafting... It involves having 3 assembly kits that I can cycle between to avoid delays. 3 macros call each other at the end, and cycle through all the kits, the last one starting the macro again. I've been using variations on this structure:

/ui action toolbarslot##; (Open the kit)
/selectDraftSchematic #; (Pick the right thing to make)
/pause 5; (Let things catch up)
/nextCraftingStage; (I have tried with both 2 and
/nextCraftingStage; 3 of these lines)
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype Practice noitem; (I have seen 2 versions of this
/createPrototype Practice noitem; command, "noitem"/"no item")
/pause 5;
/ui action toolbarslot##; (Next kit)

I've tried several different capitalizations, checked spelling, tried different numbers of /nextCS, and also "noitem" vs "no item" in those last two lines. What ends up happening is I get no messages for several seconds while the pauses work through, then I get 2 lines that say "Crafting session ended!" and no exp. I'm almost to Engineering III as I can slam these out fairly quickly by hand, but it would be cool to automate. I've been able to afford the 2 BER 9 mineral extractors, one doing ore, and one doing Iron (Found a nice 89% iron spot :) ). I plan to add more later, as this is all I can afford, but my 6k worth of wind generators are providing power to spare, I see no reason to spend 160k on a big honking BER 14 Fusion power plant. I am starting to really enjoy crafting though. Any help with this macro would be appreciated. :)

Try this one:

This can all be done with 3 macros and several crafting kits. the method here is almost the same. have one macro that is set to cycle through all the crafting tools you use <i used 10 of them> using the /ui action toolbarSlot## with a pause then have it activate your schematic macro, then have it pause for 5 seconds, then have it select your 3rd macro that will have the /nextCraftingStage commands in it just like written above. an example would be:

macro 1:
/selectDraftSchematic01

macro 2:
/nextCraftingStage;/nextCraftingStage/nextCraftingStage;/createProtoType practice no item;/createProtoType practice no item

macro 3:
/ui action toolbarSlot03;/pause 2;/ui action toolbarSlot00;/pause 5;/ui action toolbarSlot01;/pause 1;/ui action toolbarSlot04;/pause 2;/ui action toolbarSlot00;/pause 5;/ui action toolbarSlot01;/pause 1;/ui action toolbarSlot05;/pause 2;/ui action toolbarSlot00;/pause 5;/ui action toolbarSlot01;/pause 1;/ui action toolbarSlot06;/pause 2;/ui action toolbarSlot00;/pause 5;/ui action toolbarSlot01;/pause 1;/ui action toolbarSlot07;/pause 2;/ui action toolbarSlot00;/pause 5;/ui action toolbarSlot01;/pause 1;/ui action toolbarSlot08;/pause 2;/ui action toolbarSlot00;/pause 5;/ui action toolbarSlot01;/pause 1;/ui action toolbarSlot09;/pause 2;/ui action toolbarSlot00;/pause 5;/ui action toolbarSlot01;/pause 1;/ui action toolbarSlot10;/pause 2;/ui action toolbarSlot00;/pause 5;/ui action toolbarSlot01;/pause 1;/ui action toolbarSlot11;/pause 2;/ui action toolbarSlot00;/pause 5;/ui action toolbarSlot01;/pause 1;/ui action toolbarSlot12;/pause 2;/ui action toolbarSlot00;/pause 5;/ui action toolbarSlot01;/pause 1;/ui action toolbarSlot02

with this macro setup put macro 1 in toolbarSlot00, put macro 2 in toolbarSlot01, macro 3 in toolbarSlot02, and put a crafting tool in toolbarSlot03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12. you may need to adjust the pauses to fit your needs, but other than that it will work about the same way as the previous macro written above but this will take up much fewer macros to be made.

PS. I did not wright this. I found it in the crafting section of Allakhazam.

BTW you don't want to do this standing close to a public crafting station. Get a droid or a home based crafting station. And I don't think you get any messages indicating you gain exp. Last time I played it was silent.

All these macros do is set up an assembly line. You do have to pick the raw materials or sub components but atleast you dont have to keep pushing next,next,next,next.... untill you get carpal tunnel syndrom.

Also to gain exp you have to craft something complex. The higher the complexity of the item the more EXP you make. Find the middle ground, some of the highly complex items would be impractical to grind with. Picking the right grinding item is a decission only you can make.

It may take a bit of doing to set up the macros. But when you do you will kick your hiny for getting to lev 3 the long way. Lev 3 should have taken 1 hour 2 hours tops.
