Architect Archive

Making more selling the resources now than putting **edit** structures toegether, and what's more I just visit my harvister fleet once every 3 days to pick up the resources then deliver them.

Sweet. Just got lvl4 installations now and engineering IV. Dont burn yourself out guys! Architect BLOWS!

i realised archtiect isnt fun when i couldnt sell a medium naboo house ...after going threw every single city... But then i figured...what would i be doing if i wasnt an architecht.... What are u gonna do with all that money u make? During those 3 days what you gonna do? with architecht u are always doing something to keep you busy. Otherwise your paying 15 bucks to sit in the game and stare

What can you do when you aren't crafting? Let's see, you can do missions, go hunting, pick up another profession, socialize and generally have fun. All of itthis kind of lacking when you're a full time architect.

Architects are scared. Hell, I was! I was thinking i'd spent all the time getting to master architect if I drop it i may just end giving up the game... and what will I do for cash?

I'm missioning from planet to planet atm getting CH and Carbine xp and have made 600,000creds doing nothing but visiting my harvisters once this week and selling the contents to someone. If i was still building I would have taken the resources made factory parts, made the buildings put it on my vendor...and made 400,000creds.

I've done jabba's palace, a few reb theme-park missions and am really enjoying myself now. No more falling asleep near the factory for me!

Dorkimoe.... "But then i figured...what would i be doing if i wasnt an architecht.... What are u gonna do with all that money u make? During those 3 days what you gonna do? with architecht u are always doing something to keep you busy. Otherwise your paying 15 bucks to sit in the game and stare "

Dude if you think you've GOT to play architect to keep you so buisy it will stop you from quitting the game then you should take my advice man. Trust Khaan

I'm only playing this game since last tuesday, picked up all basic proffessions just to check out the game, see whats fun and not.

Asfor now I just got Novice Architect, I thought it would be cool to build my own house, and some harvesters are pritty usefull too.

Check this...nowhere on Naboo is any kind of ore left,and if I woudl buy the resources to build a house it would cost me more then actually just buying a house....that's just ridicilous...it's taking the fun...out of the job..

So, only thing I will do now is get lvl IV harvesters, build me a couple of them and then drop the entire architect profession. It just ain't fun this way...I'm training in unarmed combat now (I love the teras kasi combat moves...) And I'm thinking about going for Image Designer/Clothier or something, wich seems a much more fun and social job.

I'll be MA by this time tomorrow, and the only reason is for Urban Planner. I don't really plan on making much of anything I can as an Architect except for the whole fleet of Heavies for my harvesting business to keep my other character, and my PA happy.

Architect can be a difficult and painful journey. When I was a new arch, I remember suffering 2 crif fails in a row trying to build a meduim house! Darn near broke me. I hear you on the selling of them. Most players want to you to just give them away, but the reason is that too many novices are out there taking loses by under cutting structure prices. They do not realize that in the long run, they are cutting their throats (unless they are guild backed and therefor swimming in materials and cash). I have seen yahoos running around hawking small houses as low as 5k, and mediums for 50k!

I make all my large equipment for personal use at this time. I have a medium sitting on the market collecting dust, at 70k, so I am barely getting 3.5 cr per unit on it, and that is NOT accounting for the inevitable crit fails on subcomponents along the way. I have a little more luck with small houses and mining equipment. I absolutely refuse to make a large house, risking over 37k of materials along the way, just to have it sit on a vender. I will consider an order, but to risk that amount of material on the grind is foolhearty.

I do not blame you for your disillisionment. I have made more money selling furniture and power-ups. Furniture and power-ups sell well and at a much better rate than 3 cr/unit! I have every intention of selling bulk resources out of my shop here very soon, for much of the same reason as yours.

I will be soon getting Master architect, and will do so without ever making a large house or PA Hall. I will then work on another field for fun which is already trained and ready to go,er, grind.

Good Luck on what ever path you choose.

Luzenit... some of your prices have shocked me. Things must be different on Intrepid.... if you were on Naritus I could tell you why you medium house is sitting for 70k. Here are the most common prices:

Small House 6k-8k

Med House 45k-55k

Large House 95k-110k

Yeah, there are people that have much higher prices, but for some reason their shops seem to disappear rather quickly.

Oh yeah, these are the "normal" prices. I payed a meer 10k for my new Medium Tat. house, and gave the Master Arch. 5000 Ore.

Business is booming!

drop architecture *.*

ShadowWalker I'd rather find shocking that a finished product would cost less than the market price of the resources involved! That's the reason why more and more master stop building in favor of mining.

ShadowWalker, that is why it is hard for most architects to find it woth while to risk valuable resources to create a product and have it underdsold by others that sell the same for less than 2.5/3cr per unit in materials. Even less if you take into account the inevitable criticals in the process. 70K for a medium house is not outrageous what so ever. My smalls do sell at 10-12k, and they do represent at least 3 cr/unit of material. They may not fly out the door at a fast rate, but my losses on criticals are minimal and I have my assets sitting in raw materisal that can be sold at anytime easily. So continue losing money on your product when obvioulsy you can make more by marketing resources. I am doing just fine with other items that represent fair market value or betterfor the resources I work hard for.

use a factory and you almost never have to wory about critical failures...except when the stupid schematic fails -.- heh
