My character is Artisan 4-4-4-0
1: What is the best thing to grind to get Novice Architect?
(I have been grinding Wind Generators and I was curious to know if anything would yield more exp.)
2: Based on my current character build I was trying to make some better crafting tools. When I craft them using a station and and 11.79 tool, I always top out at 11.79 with 2 experiment points left over and no place to use them. How do I get the effectiveness of my crafted tools up beyond 11.79?
(I know it can be done because one of the tools I'm using to craft is a 15.00 effectiveness.)

1. long time since I made Novice Architect, I really cannot remember how I did it.
2. As long as you are talking about tools, not stations, then you really need to use resources with the highest Conductivity, 1000 copper would give you a 14.99 at 99% (i.e. full experimentation) if memory serves.
If however you were talking about crafting stations, then it is the so called 'optional' items that will increase up to a target of around 43+.

I just made novice Architect this weekend. I did it with Flora Farms only because I needed some to harvest Lokian wheat for me. They have a complexity of 18 which is higher than the Wind Gen. and I think gives little more XP. Good luck

Get to Master Artisan (easy since you only need to survey thru that tree), then make bikes. They sell well and privide chunks of exp. Then if you don't need/want master Artisan, you can drop that. My suggestion though is to keep Master Artisan since there are several componants that you will need to make some things as a Master Architect, such as Guild Halls and City Structures (Power Cores!)
Crafting tools take Conductivity Exclusivly. The higher the conductivity the better. I am using 990 conductivity copper and am able to make 14.70 tools.

XP gained is based upon the amount of resources that the item takes (in general...there are exceptions but this is a good guideline). If the item requires 1000 total resources then you get 2000 XP. Don't foget the 5% bonus for practicing.
I seem to remember that Wind Generators have the highest resource requirement and therefore give the most XP.
The Artisan Profession forums should have a FAQ for hologrinders that tells you the best way to master the class
