Architect Archive

I just recently got Master Architect and did it grinding walls, I'm just wondering what everyone else did to get master? I'm asking because a few people I play the game with feel I took to long. They also don't realize that without tons and tons and tons of ore and steel it is impossible to master.

I just got it last week and started probably the 3rd week of playing.

It took me a month and a half and I think it was too short,

I mean seriously for me to go from a brand new player to a master of an elite profesion in that short of time was almost silly. I know it is an unpopular position, but I would double the XP requirments for EVERY skill in the game. Not just Architects.

Im not even a power player, my rate of advancment was directly relatedto how fast I could pull materials. With the help of 1 other player letting me use some of his lots it was a cake walk.

Not only that but what we grind, we can sell ( walls ). Architect is in my opinion the 2nd easiest elite profesion to master, after merchant of course, that requires to effort at all.

Well I've stopped grinding and will just gain as I make more harvs for friends. But I made it to the top of the installation tree and one box each in the furniture line and house line in4 days. That's only spending 1-2 hours per day of solid grinding. As Dayln said the limitting factor is resource availability.

I think it took me about 2 months total from the time I started, but I did master artisan first, played with some other things along the way... In all honesty, the arch boxes were just like Dayln, I advanced as fast as I could get materials... being solo the whole time it wasn't always fast, but I got mediums asap after getting into it so i could upgrade the speed.

I just got my first months charge on my Credit card so from Day 1 to day 31 I made Master Artisan / Master Architect / Pistoleer...

Level 50 in Everquest took me 45 days of actual play time from week 2 of game start. This game is way to easy.

Master Arch / Master Atrtisan / Pistoleer

From the time I actually decided to become an architect (having had eng 4)to the time I was master was probably about 3 - 4 weeks. Went through furniture first, and grinded through walls to get the xp. Interior design was a great xp+money maker.One PA designed would be twoxp boxes.OnceI made cr, I would spend it right away on resources, and had to take out a loan or two from a friend..or two. Really, the only limiting factorto leveling is the availability to resources - you just use SO much.

So if I'm right then the biggest thing to hold back would be ore, correct? So if I was always lackingore would you say it would take a long time? About 2 months? I would grind about 20 walls a week and that would be a few walls a day cause I was lacking ore.

Yes,

The only things that slow you down becoming a master architect is Ore, some bulk metal and Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. If it wasn’t for those you could do it in 3 days, maybe less.

( I shouldnt say this, and I dont use it, but I have seen an outside macro program coupled with the internal macro program that would craft non-stop, he was crafing stuff while sitting and wathcing the Simsons in the next room. But that is where I draw the line, the only outside program I use with SWG is Roger Wilco ( voice program ))

If you have the resources you can grind out master in like 4 hours.

Roughly three months.

Got master July 27, so about 1 month.

about 5 days.. apprenticed for a very busy architect who gave me about 15-20 walls to make a nite, and i used 2 of my rl friends lots and made about 10-15 walls on my own each day from my own harvesters...

I just made Master Architect yesterday. (WAHOO!) No more grinding wall modules. Even if I have to make 1, I'm doing it in a @#$@ factory. I never want to see that screen again, unless it's to make a schematic.

It took me just over a month, once I decided that was the direction I wanted to go. I was very lucky, in that I had a very cool Master Architect (Stargazer on eclipse). I met him when I purchased my first two mediums from him.. He agreed to buy wall modules from me, as many as I could crank out. So with that, I was able to turn my grinding into a steady income. During the process of advancing through the architect tree, I went from two mediums and a handfull of personals, and windmills to a fleet of mostly heavies and fusion (as well as a factory, and abundant spending cash) - funded entirely by him buying up my exp grind. Along with that, he kept me trained, gave me really good deals on harvesters, and shared resource locations. Even gave me some of his own stuff to grind from time to time. It worked out really well both ways, I think.
