I have seen a lot of questions lately about this issue and i have decided that maybe it is time that someone wrote a guide devoted to using grenades.
WHAT TO DO FIRST
Obviously the first thing to do is to buy some grenades. The best way to buy grenades is in factory crates of 25. They will often be priced between 15k and 40k.
Ok, now we have some grenades.
Find a group that will allow you to nade. I find that guild groups are especially good for this, but some large groups will let you nade as well.
WHAT TO KILL
Now we are all prepared to use our grenades, but it is no use unless we know what to kill. Go to any planet that you can get a group and non spitting creatures on. Some examples of these are: Dantooine- Bols, Pikets. Tatooine, Dewbacks, Banthas. Obviously there are more than just these animals that you can hunt with grenades.
COMBAT!!!!!
Congratulations, you are almost there. I find that the best way to do this is to fire 1 or 2 shots at the lair, then, when you have been aggroed by every creature, throw your grenade. However, for professions without high melee defense, the best thing to do is just to target the lair and nade. This means that you wont be incapped before you can throw the nade. After nading, you will be incapped, so dont try to heal yourself during the agro, the medical xp will half or more the combat xp you will get.
I find the best thing to do after being healed from the incap, is to help your group kill the creatures. Because the nade hit the lair, new creatures will be spawning. These will show on your radar as yellow dots, whereas targets you have already hit are red. Kill the yellow dots with the weapon of your choice, but dont attack the red dots.
THE NUMBERS
Most elite combat professions cap combat xp at 300k. However, both master commando and master BH cap combat xp at 900k. I find BH good, as you can also cap 3 other kinds of weapon xp, making a total of 390k fs xp per trip. If you are not one of those professions, and cap combat xp at 300k, you can get a lot of combat xp through a day of grinding. Most lairs can give upwards of 80k combat xp. I have capped combat xp in 2 lairs, by nading every creature.
I hope this guide has helped people with their questions.
