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. This is not as easy as it sounds, as grenades are not made very often (it takes the weaponsmith a long time and a lot of resources). The way i found grenades was to advertise on the trade forums or just ask Commando's if they knew a place to buy grenades. Make sure when you are buying the 'nades that they are about 200-800 damage with a speed of 2.0-2.9. Dont bother to get these grenades sliced, unless you know someone who can give you free slices or you are a smuggler. For those of you who would prefer more bang for your buck, look around for some Grenade Powerups. If you cannot find any, a Master Artisan should be able to make some. 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. But what is the best and quickest way to use them? Go to your toolbar. If you havent extended it into 2 bars, do that now. On the top left of your toolbar there should be 2 little arrows. Press one of these arrows until you find an empty or unused toolbar. Now clear a lot of space in your inventory and pull out a full crate worth of grenades. Place each grenade in a slot in the toolbar.

Ok so our grenades are ready to be used. However we need to be suitably protected so we dont blow up when the creatures do. If you are wearing ANY armour without blast resists (Ubese, Mabari etc) this will not be good. I use composite armour with at least 70% Blast damage protection. Now that you have armour selected, get buffed as you normally do.

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 either Dathomir or Dantooine. On both of these planets you normally find large solo groups. Get in a group and take missions for creatures that have no blast resists, but still give out good xp. Some examples of these are:

Dantooine

Huurton Stalkers
Pikets

Dathomir

Baz Nitches

Obviously there are more than just these animals that you can hunt with grenades. Ok, take 2 missions for these creatures (it is faster to get them in one direction but you do not have to), switch to your 'grenade toolbar' and head to the mission WP.

COMBAT!!!!!

Congratulations, you are almost there. Now all we have to do is destroy the lair (it helps to have mastered an elite combat profession for this).Now, attack the lair before you attack the other creatures (lets imagine that they areHuurton Stalkers). This gets the Huurtons attacking you in a large group. Because attacking a lair gives you a 100% hit ratio, and ALL grenades have a blast radius, you should move close to the mission lair. This means that the pack of Huurtons that is attacking you will follow you and crowd around their lair. Now start throwing 'nades'. Remember, each grenade has 5 uses, so hit each of the grenades in your toolbar 5 times before going to the next one. The lair and Huurtons will take longer to kill than a normal lair, but if u have mastered an elite combat profession each Huurton killed will give you 5000 Combat XP. After the lair is empty, switch to a normal weapon, as it is a waste of grenades to take the lair out with no real results.

THE NUMBERS

Anybody who has mastered an elite combat profession (especiallya melee one) will find this easy to do. And since your Combat XP will cap out at 300k, it is also a lot quicker than a normal grind.300k Combat XP = 100k FSXP. This means that it is possible to get possibly 500k FS XP done in 1 day.

***EDIT*** It seems that you will get more Combat XP if you hold a weapon that you are not certified for while you are throwing grenades. I have not tested this myself.

I hope this guide has helped people with their questions.

something to kill?? Posted @ Thu, Dec 23rd 12:55 PM 2004
By: alamogordoabc 2 posts Score: Decent [3.00]	just FYI here.. on Dantooine the recomended Pikets have a 25% blast resist and the Hurton Stalkers have 15%.. on Dath the Biznach has 10% BR is this a new thing by sony to limit our "grenade Combat exp exploit" or is there really anything in this game that has zero blast resist and gives enough combat exp to be worth while anymore?

Looking for nades Posted @ Fri, Oct 15th 9:14 PM 2004
By: GrimNefari Scholar 17 posts Score: Excellent [5.00]	After having taken an extended break from playing SWG I realized I had some C12 frags on my inventory that I presume I picked up from the Imp theme park. Trying one out one day I noticed that instead of the normal 10% of whatever weapon xp I picked up, I got quite a bit more because of the nade use. Anyone know where I can pick some grenades up on Tempest, and for about how much?
