Architect Archive

in beta, i busted my hump to get merchant xp for the smuggler branches, only to have them change it when they fixed the trainer. i just hit Eng IV and need to decide: do i make 825 powerups, or do i work on things that are actually RELEVANT to the profession, like deeds?

i don't want to give myself carpal tunnel syndrome only to find out after my 824th barrel that the devs came out and said "oops! sorry about that. novice arch should be 33k STRUCTURE xp, not CRAFTING xp. sorry, guys. it's been fixed now."

so can anyone tell me with some degree of certainty, whether the GCXP req is an oversight or if it's intended?

thanks.

I think it's intended because there really is only two items you can make that gives Structure XP. I don't know why Novice Merchant takes Merchant XP considering that every other profession takes GXP to reach their respective Novice levels.

This is my opinion though.

well...look at it this way...get that 33000 and wait a day to train...think it over real hard...for that same XP you could be a weaponsmith/armorsmith or weaponsmith/tailor or any two other artisan novices

You remember at the end when it went up to something like 100k Arkalius? They did it about a day after I made it to novice, but before I spent my accumulatedd structure XP to move up in the furniture and housing lines.

I am not looking forward to the grinding needed to get those 33k crafting XP

In beta, Novice Architect required 6000 GCXP. So the type of exp isn't a bug... I just wish the amount was.
