Architect Archive

I was an architect, but now I am sick of it... there is little left to be done. I am planning on going for Jedi, so I want to finish off Architect...

What is the best thing to grind?

Ive also noticed Statues offer a nice chunk of xp if you can spare the gemstones. Each of them gives approx 5.7k CXP as opposed to the 500 xp for wall mods. Im trying to figure out the xp ration, but it seems that in order to get 5.7k xp crafting structure mods, you would have to make 11 of them. 11 Structural Mods use up approx 2.2k ore and 550 steel. On the other hand, Statues use only 1k gems and 2k ore and can be made much faster than 11 structural mods. A friend lent me 10k in gems a few nights ago and I made nearly 48k CXP in abot 3-5 minutes. All you need is a ton of gems and some ore and you can fly through those higher lvl skills.

Sure statues give the best XP, but a smart grinding arch will make walls.

Why? Cause the real archs will pay anywhere from 5K to 10K per wall you make for them. And they will buy every single one you make. Its called "return on investement".

Imagine... grinding a profession to Master, AND making a decent profit while you are at it.

same here even if the buyer is not part of a player city they like them in there houses i got a couple of those sweet fountains in my guild hall

can't wait to get a player city and be able to place them

You can sell statues for 30k. That's 10cr/unit which is a better cr/unit ratio than an architect will ever see on any building they make. I put like 7 statues on my vendor for 30k each and they were gone in a couple days.

Actually I just found the information I was looking for in Artisan:

And it sounds like anyone with EngIV will be able to make a vehicle.

Statues/fountains/streetlights - can't keep 100's of them in stock. I seel the larger statues for 20k, the smaller ones for 15. Same materials, the price difference is mainly to discourage people casually buying the larger models and being unhappy when they find those don't fit in small houses well. Walls suck, structures suck! Furniture baby!! All those new houses and halls out there need some decoration! If your server is anything like tempest, there is a severe shortage of quality furniture shops. Speeders are NOT going to be your answer to wealth and xp, believe me. After day 2, the price will fall through the floor, just like mounts did.

To finish artisan, make travel packs!I made over 500 in my artisan days and they sell very well all day, every day for 500 each, which is PROFIT!
