I had a thought about all thestuff that i make crafting just to destroy or give awaycause i feel i cannot sell a) without putting it on the bazaar for 20 creds (entry fee) b) its a junk item made of junk material c) everyone is selling that item and i would wait in line to sell d) noone uses the item e) etc ,etc,etc. Lets me give a artisan example, i make a personal ore extractor and after crafting it its a BER 1. We all know this is worthless to build and use as far as money and power wise so, why is there not a a mission terminal, npc vender, a wishing well, etc. in the game that will by this stuff from us so we can continue to build this stuff and get some loot out of it. Lord know how many personal harvestors i build just to destroy cause they would never find a home. Say i built this BER 1 extractor, and brought it to a npc dealer of sorts, he would then in turn give me a return of money maybe 1 cred per resource used to make it, so it wouldnt be a outrages amount of money but, i dont feel the need to destroy everything i make that is crap. Just a idea and maybe someone can add a thought to this, seems like a fair deal......?

Yeah, practice mode gives you 5% more experience. Thats worth more in saved material costs than what you'd be able to sell some things like BER1 personal harvs for.
But they actually do have NPCs that will buy stuff from you. There are 'contractor' NPCs in the crafter guild halls in town. These are the guild halls where you can find the crafter trainers. However the NPCs have you build random things which often aren't really efficient for grinding purposes and they pay you diddly squat for it. But I think you at least get some extra XP out of the deal.

Or just make Structural Modules, and store them in backpacks on a storage vendor. You'll use them quickly enough when you master!

Thanks for the responses but i think this should have been posted in the artisans not architects forum. I was trying to think of ways to make money off the Artisans beginning products. I just thought about all that wasted product and wondered if there was a way to sell it off instead of just getting extra experience when in practice mode. Again after reading through this forum and others i realize all of us are coming up with great ideas ( good or bad ) that spawn thought and willingness to help this game achieve. I say GREAT WORK for all the effort everyone puts into getting this game on track.
