Hi all,

New novice architect here, I am willing to grind out walls for any architect willing to supply me with material. please email ingame. All I ask is that I can sell a few walls for some personal spending money.

Thanks

If you haven't already, post this type of thing (perhaps with a title like "Novice Architect willing to grind walls" that will catch people's eyes) on the Ahazi forum.

Also, if you havent' already, start doing in-game searches all the time for Master Architects and add them to your friends list. Perhaps send an in-game email to a number of them with your offer. The other advantage is that you'll get acquaited with them for your training needs.

Different master's may have different opinions about this, but I'll give you mine so you can think about it. I'm a sole practitioner (no PA backing, etc) so I count on myself and a network of miners to supply me with raw resources. I make all of my structure modules and wall modules in a factory with schematics for 1000 items. I load up the ore and metal that I have, run the bricks, then flip the schematic to walls and push the button again.

So having a novice make wall modules for me out of my materials doesn't really help me at all. In fact, I end up losing material to critical failures that I wouldn't lose to factory runs.

What *does* help me is Novices who mine their own ore and metal, grind walls, and sell them to me. I like helping people out so I pay 8K per wall module. This costs me well more than I can make my own but it helps out the Novice and augments my own resource acquistion efforts. The novice grinds XP and gets almost as much money as they would selling the raw materials, and more than they would get flogging small houses.

If you are going to be an architect you almost *have* to become an excellent miner and build up a harvester fleet. So this is something that will help you do this. I've also been known to help out Novices with creative financing on harvesters to get them bootstapped up.

Welcome and good luck!
