Architect Archive

Hello, I plan to take up architect soon, after I master a few other classes, and I was wondering what resources I need to master architect. I have harvesters and want to mine the minerals before I start the class with enough resources of what Ineed. Anyone know exactly what numbers and types of resources I need?

60% Ore and rest in various metals (Steel if you are going with Harvesters)

About 5% is covered with other odds and ends, Gas (Both types), Chems, Wood.

Well what I was really looking for was the numbers and types of resources that I need to grind the profession, like the info you see in stickies in all of the other crafting profession threads. Is there a thread that has this information I"m not seeing?

First thing your going to need to do is build walls.
As boring as that may sound, walls give you the best xp
I know at first you won't have anything to build that uses walls for a while, but I often wish I had kept all the walls I made back in the beginning.
Numbers are easy:
structural module = 50 units of metal + 200 units of ore
wall = 10 structural modulse and 200 units of metal + 100 units of ore

I'll go through 25k of ore in a heartbeat making 10 walls of a large house
/sigh if only I kept all those walls from the beginning

i grinded crafting stations as i thought those gave better xp...

450 metals in it +/-880xp making one

You can grind how ever you want. If you REALLY want the fewest clicks, make fountains and statues. You dont get 2x resource for xp, but you only have like 2 resource for the statues.
2000 metal and 1000 gemstone, or 2000 ore or something. That gets you like 4500 xp or so IIRC. So not the most efficient, but sure as heck the most xp on an easy combine.

But most will do walls. 1) they WILL sell easily if a Master Architect has the cash floating around and they know you are selling them. 2) if you are grinding to get to master to USE it, you'll use TONS of the walls when making buildings. So make them now to get xp, then use them later to make structures.

If I wanted to make gugan head statues the entire time to get master architect(after I get the skill to make them) how much of each resource would be needed to reach master? And does anyone know where I can get thatmuch of eachresource? thanks alot.

Well to make a statue you'd need 2k of gems and 1500 or so of ore (I think. I'm not looking at my game right now). That's a lot of resources by itself. Crafting stations are what I used to get to architect and a few statues and fountains here and there to speed up the process. Asfor where to get them, you'll have to harvest them yourself unless you have friend's that can aide you.

2000 low-grade/carb ore 1000 gemstone..... get about 5500 exp in practice mode.

alto i would just make them and sell them. the strange statues sell fast on the bazaar for 3000 credits
