Thread: best way to gain xp at novice?
i just hit novice Architect today, and was looking for sum suggestions,
on how to go up the trees the fastest any tips or tricks would be greatly appriciated...
start crafting structure modules. You need them for wall modules and wall modules were needed everywhere.
well, i just hit novice architect myself and i've found that building structure modules and wall modules are best for grinding xp as well as seeing a return profit. I found someone that buys my walls for 7500 cred per so i'm not losing alot of cash. also i have found another good way to grind is try to find a master architect that will let YOU craft HIS walls. This way you get the xperience, he gets his walls, and he/she does not have to craft. I have been able to save about 50k ore this way and grind 2-1-0-3 architect this way. some resources i mined myself, but mostly i have been crafting walls and structure modules for a master arch. try it. it works

master ch/master artisan
cool thx guys
another question i have is what are the best trees to go up first?
bah....do walls if you want the most boring experience of your life only...
Not that furniture is that much more exciting, but you'll sure build a LOT bigger customer base by making furniture and having a well stocked vendor than you'll ever get doing walls.
Your choice. Mine was furniture and very few structures and I mastered 3professions in a month's time.
Make structural modules. When you get 10 of them make wall modules. (You can save some strutural modules to make small houses.) Wall modules are the fastest way to get experience for the buck. I would save them as you will need them later on. Grinding structural modules gets boring so I recommend you make structures in the following order as you build the components for them:
small houses (these take 10 structural modules)
factories
harvesters
medium houses
Make yourself a factory but you get more experience doing them by hand. Go to www.allakhazam.com and get a good grinding macro. It makes it so much easier. Good luck it will be worth it in the end 
I put 8 personal mines pulling Metal at a 92%
the stations take 450 of any metal and 29sec to craft...
This is a total loss of resorces but a fast way to get xp.
I use survay missons for cash.
Hint (Use Shuttles alot... I make 6k+ every time the shuttle lands)
I went to 2240 this way in 2 days. I then started trying to make things...
Wish I had just kept making the crafing statins for xp now.

Can you give more detail about this? You lost me

I don't know about making 6k each landing unless they've increased the payouts in the past couple weeks. But I could get about 6k for each round trip fairly easily.
First of all you survey to figure out what the high concentration resource is at each destination. (e.g. 75% copper at Coronet and 82% reactive gas in Tyrena)
Then when you're going to a destination first pickup a couple survey missions for the high density resource at the destination. (Before leaving for Coronet get a couple missions for 70%+ copper)
Then when you land you immediately survey for the resource and cash in on the missions (Survey for the copper as you land at Coronet).
You can repeat this forever to easily make money but its a tad boring. If you combine it with grinding for XP while you wait for shuttles then its more efficient.
