I just mastered artisan today, and with that went all my money for resources.

Now i understand that i need about 300k gemstone and 6-800k ore.

I got the gemstone covered, but how can i get that much ore as fast as possible?


And, i cant make statue heads until i get contruction 1, what is the cheapest/best alternative to

grind until then?

Make Wall Modules to start with. And the fastest way to get the ore is to obviously buy it. You can get it for 1cpu now. Otherwise find yourself a nice 70-90% ore spot and shove 3 or 4 heavies onto it. Over on bria I only have 3 heavies, and I get around 70-100k ore a day. Enough for me.

No, Bria gets the worst spawns of all servers, and as the most populated server it has the lowest resourcelayer ratio.

Even on a 100% spot, three BER14 mineral harvesters will gather 60480 resources per day. You're full of crap.

Yeah those 90% ore spots are pretty sweet. Every now and then though there is a kryat dragon right over the 98% spot, which of course I must have, so I pull out my cdef pistol and one shot the thing. Gets them every time and the area is clear to place harvesters.

I was complaining about non-craftable furniture again, and my friendasked "Are all of the remaining architects as bitter and as pissy as you?"


I thought about this forum.


"Yhea" I said. "Pretty much."

I imagine armorsmiths and weaponsmiths would be bitter and pissy as well if you could buy any gun for 500 credits and an entire suit of composite armor for 5000 and they'd never wear out.

Bandola,


I'll probably price a bit higher than that - but to be honest, haven't really nailed down my pricing strategy yet. I'm just finalizing mymini-mall and have decided recently to save upand make a run of harvesters. (I only hit Master a few weeks ago). A price variance of 10-20K isn't the issue to be honest - it's the <3 cpu idiocy I was commenting on. My focus has been on higher margin products and have been doing quite well (purposely avoiding making Harvesters).


I'm determined to price based on a reasonable cpu return with the assumption that I had to buy all my resources - including HQ - whether I buy them or mine them. Plus, compare that to what kind of revenue a person buying my harvester will get.


By the way, I know very well that this will most likely fail. Call it my lone-wolf effort of flipping the bird to the yahoos.

Yes. Pretty much. I think within 2 days after the first 2 architects pulled themselves out of the primorial ooze one of them undercut the other by 50%.
