Hi folks,

So I made my third alt, toon number 4 at last.

The first, my ever reliable TKM/mSmuggler. The second, a ranger CH type fella, the third will be grinding out jedi if possible and the fourth will be an Image Designer with something else, unknown. Prolly TKM (well bunduki dance and TK are similar after all!)

I am wondering what the best method of ID grind would be? When I did it on SOE SWG the macro was nerfed, and am just wondering if there is a fairly civilised way to get the XP nowadays.


Hope you can help!

In Ateth we Trust... that is one of the best ways to grind ID...

You basically get 150xp for self ID
You basically get 300xp for ID'ing another (including an alt, tabbing back and forth between sessions to start)
At Novice Image Designer you can do stat migrations on others (including alts) but not self for 2000xp, but there is a 4 minute timer before committing the changes... so not the best way to grind, but don't forget to Migrate Stats on all of your alts if they can use it, might as well get the XP... ("real" IDers please correct me if wrong... I only leveled one character in ID up enough so I could make minor changes/stat migrations on my main alts)

Aside from that... setup the looping macros outlined in Ateth's post and as you fill skill boxes, pick the Image Change that is easiest/fastest to click on when the overall window appears... I find Body (height/form) is easiest for me once it comes up since it has a slider and by barely moving the mouse side to side so it stays on the slider means I can drop my looping intervals to 2-3 seconds... I don't bother with Changes requiring me to dive down into a submenu, or pick a color from the grid... the slider bars seem fastest once those options are available.
