Should I just quit and cry now? Or will there be a hard cap involved so folks can't experiment 20% better than me with 1 of these, or 50% better if they got 2 (god forbid).

Also, sorry about the double post. I use the tab button too often.

Eventually we will get our 100 point maximum.... and sadly thats what the +25 skill tapes are for... I sugest you get one yourself (if it actually works)

I have not heard of this in weapon or armor smiths.... my guess are skill tapes are still broken, but im not intirely sure.

That price is low, wish I had the chance to bid on that on my server

On Bloodfin the bid was at 7.2 million for a +12 tape last I checked (this morning).

We need the experimentation pointshotfixed inwhen the changes GreenMarine talked about go live. Waiting a month is going to kill business for most architects, since buying harvesters is a one shot deal.

Wow 7.2 Mil for something soon to be useless? Even the bid winner can make a profitby being the only maker of uber harvesters, how many heavy he will have to sell before next big patch to earn back that 7,2 mil?

Let's say he can charge 50Kextra for each heavy (if there are peoplewilling to pay that premium), that would be 144 heavy! He will have to work like hell to not losing credit! Not to mention he need total +15 to make that 2 extra exp points needed.

This game is roughly, what... 3 months old? The next patch is roughly another month away. It's a pretty long time. I'm more inclined to get busy trying to get an edge than to console myself that any disadvantage will be short-lived... but that's me

I never understood why architects feel they can make more money making something that saturates the market where resources are concerned when I've proven in numerous posts that you can make money doing something else and a lot more than selling 3 heavy harvesters for a quarter of the resources needed.

Interior Decorating anyone?

I make 625k per house and never have to worry about competing with other architects on harvesters. The difference between you and I is that I refuse to sell something that saturates the market. Heavy harvesters are meant for architects only and that's how I look at it.

If architects refused to sell them to the player base and made their money on other things that aren't short sighted like I've seen in various posts here, the prices for harvesters would probably quadruple in a few months. As it stands, the more heavy harvesters out there, the less spots to place your own harvesters starts to occur and the price for resource selling saturates as well as your own customer base.

I am hoping to get this kind of deal on Chilastra right now. Dunno if I will or not, but I am hoping.

I have a feeling that the one architect on Chilastra (that I know of) that doesn't need the tape will out bid me drastically...and it aint even an auction, just my WTB thread.He already has +25 and then some, and seems to buying more.

I hope that my WTB post gets some response...heck, I will even buy a bunch of +3s and load up all my clothes. I just want at least 2 more experimentation boxes to play with.

As it stands, someone bid 100k for a +1 tape not too long ago (this is also the one with a +25), so I am not very confident that I will get to the level I want at a price anywhere near what I can afford. But I am hoping.

Did I mention that I am hoping?

Igathered +6 so far on Gorath (paying over 1 mil cr).

+25 for 1.5 million is cheap.

With those enhancers i managed to build a 75% ore mining unit to produce 11 BER Heavy Mineral Harvesters.

GreenMarine stated that we all will get 100 structureal experimentation in the next big patch, so stay tuned.

Where do these auctions occur?

Where are these skill tapes coming from??? Are they being dropped as loot??? I have not seen any since the first couple of months of the game.
