Architect Archive

I am trying to pursue a career as an Architect here, I am just starting out. I have Survey IV and Engineering IV and only have 1k of the 33k I need to get Novice Architect.

I get to play about 2 hours a night (4-5 times a week)

I need some BASIC, helpful information on how to proceed forward with my career. PLEASE don't give negative (non-helpful) posts on how much SOE sucks, how screwed I am with as little as I play etc ...


Question #1

I have 1 wind generator up and running atm. What the hell does it do for me?

Question #2

I noticed it produced a canister of some type of energy. What the hell is that energy used for?

Question #3

I made a personal mineral harvester deed last night. Was that wise? and if so, please explain how to use it, and more importantly I need some easy useful information about what is involved with maintenance of these harvesters and how this new patch today effects me.

Question #4

What is the most logical path to take to get my crafting exp up so I can achieve 33k. Do I make more harvesters to help me crank out weapon-power-ups or armor? Or is there something more beneficial that earns more exp at my early stage?

Any useful, knowledgeable information would be GREATLY appreciated. Keep in mind I'm a moron, and I need things broken down to basics so I can understand wha the hell I'm doing

Thanks!

It will give you Power to put into your harvesters

Question #2

Deposit this into your harvesters when you make them. There is an option to deposit power

You need to find an area that has a high concentration of the resources you seek, use the survey tool, you will need to be outside town to place a structure.

The best crafting XP is by far from the weapon upgrades, like the muzzle, they give 44XP and require a VERY small amount of resources

NOTE: I noticed that you are a casual gamer, and I just want to let you know that a casual gamer will have problems with any of the crafting professions. As it is very costly and time consuming.
