Make walls. Yes wall mods. They take less resources, and other architechs will buy them for about the same price. It doesn't ruin the market, and you get xp. At 3,000 resources a pop, I don't mind buying them for 9k. Especially when a factory takes like 3 walls, or a PA hall 17.

Factories take 3 similar walls. If you are going to make these for these purposes, make sure you make useable numbers of similar walls.

When I grind, I make sets of 3 walls or I make gen turbines and other higher value components. Then later, when I get an order for something, I can build it quickly.

Very good point. Of course find an architect who is willing to buy them ahead of time would be nice as well.

Similar walls don't even have to be made from the same metals, so don't worry about that part of it. Similar *anything* doesn't have to be made from the same metals. Similar means nothing, now identical is another story. Identical things must be made in a factory from the same metals, but nothing requires identical walls.

Having started architect after I began droid....let me tell you...architects dont grind.

Make 345 of something nobody will ever buy (and I dont mean you have to sell them cheap I mean nobody who has played for more than an hour buys a mouse droid) then...then we can talk about grind.

I made master with my alt. char in architecture...he gets about 90 mins play a day MAX.

The bad thing for builders is the market, vendor costs, resource hunt, lot management etc....xp...well its not a problem.

I agree with everyone, make walls for XP and never be in practice mode.

I think of grinding as making something over and over in practice mode like we did in Artisan, Architects don’t ever need to do that. It is on of the reasons architect is one of the easiest to master in ( probably the second easiest after merchant .

Gen Turbines work well too. Although they are expensive on the resources compared to walls. They give good XP and you will be using them until you get to high level deeds.

Similar doesn't even mean the same ore...I built a large house with 6 walls from one kind of ore/metal and 4 from a totally different kind of ore/metal. I'm not sure what makes them similar...they're both walls?

And I frequently do the final combine on walls with 1 or 2 left over structure modules from an old batch...

Walls make better xp and u can actually use em for something u might actually be able to sell.

Especially if u on Bria lol no Houses sold here anymore

I buy walls on bria.. so much easier than having to make up 7-14 of them from my crates of bricks. Provides a nice steady guaranteed income to architects without them having to spend ages trying to sell something to keep their harvesters going... Err ive sold 3 smalls, 2 larges and about 5 mediums this week on Bria.. 15/80/180 pricing.. no houses being sold on bria, heh..
