Congrats! Wait until you get your first big sell, you'll get all giddy
Not sure I'll get all giddy, I just like decorating....I really don't see the purpose to craft harvester and houses (although I can do it if need be). That stuff never goes away, and while furniture doesn't either, idea's usually die young. So far my major "selling factor" is I've redecorated the same guys house 7 times with the same furniture. I guess he just like to move stuff around. 
So far for public sales I've only made 7 harvesters and 37 houses...the rest was furniture. That's what I like to do more then anything, but I do take orders for the other stuff, I just don't have an active vendor with the stuff.
Anyways, I'm proud of myself, I sampled for all my resources to get started and slowly "grewup"...its definantly the most satisfing way to level up a crafting profession. Kinda wish I could do it all over again. Well thanks for the "welcoming party" haha.
Everyone has a different experience. What I found was that if I put the higher-level furniture on the Bazaar (sometimes as an auction so it would last a week) and pointed to my vendor, then people who were interested in the higher-level stuff would become my customers. I also didn't have to worry as much about people doing price comparisons on the orange couches that non-Master architects were making. So I deliberately went after the "high-end" market.
But that's one of the fun things here - you can choose a business model and an "image" for yourself and a target market and then set yourself up (price, advertising, location, etc) to fit whatever niche that you've decided on.
Have fun! Have *lots* of fun!
nice one - it's a real sense of acheivement isn't it ?
nice to master a profession and be able to look around and say - I built this :-)
Egri,
I never ground arch either, did it by hand, sold as I went! Wait till you make yourber 13 harvy!
Its a great feeling, and they sell well. Congrats to your accomplishment, and good luck.
When you get on your feet, open a vendor, post on the trade forums. And by all means, keep
your vendor full. Need help? Call "Madi" ingame name
