Architect Archive

I just can't make houses! No one want's to buy my houses so i quit. I will make furniture, crafting stations etc but i will not make houses any more. I was thinking i would master Arch but now, no i don't think i will just because there is no market for housing and I have no intrest in competing with the thousand other archs on Starsider. I am disillutioned, i just can't beleve that this profession that ever since beta i have wanted to be has turned into a no market after thought for everything. Everyone went arch and then flooded the market. Now i am really behind everyone and i don't know what i'm gunna do. HELP what should i do!

Stick it out. Alot of the Architects running about are for PAs and will detrain to something else once the guild hall is erected. Our PA actually bought a second account for the guild to make an architect for guild use. Unless alot of PAs did the same thing, once the guild hall is build the skill will be dropped.

It's just so hard to hand in, i really don't know what to do any more

Get past the houses, do factories and medium harvs. Large houses. The stuff the newbies who charge so little can't and probably won't be able to make. There is no market for small houses any more, the newbie architects gobbled it up.

Quit.

The first thing you should do is what all the other Master Architects that are running around. Abuse the factory exploit. At the end of beta they were to have nerfed the amount of xp you get from factory produced items, but somehow they skipped the structure factory. You get full xp from items produced by a factory. So plant a structure factory and start just keep it pumping on make'n structure modules and wall modules. You can easily get a couple hundred thousand xp in just a couple hours.

One thing I noticed is that you have to stay near the factory, if I take a shuttle to a nearby town, I stop getting xp, but when I ran back to the town my factory is near, about half way there I started to get xp again. Want to really crank in the xp? Just sit at your factory building structure/wall modules while your factory is also make'n them.

As for selling your products, good luck. I refused to drop my prices below 4 credits per resource and it caused a lot of lost sales, but those same customers came crying back to me for furniture and harvestors. Guess what I told em?

I haven't used one exploit yet in this game and I het Master 2 days. In fact I didn't even build my first factory until yesterday and the only reason I did is because I had to in order to make a PA hall.

I think he should do what he wants. Be it quit, or make furniture.

I don't know as that's an exploit. ALL factorys give full xp right now, not just the structure.

I do know the factory xp was supposed to go to 1/10 near the end of beta, but the patch that was supposed to do this did not. Right after that, the devs announced greater xp costs for elite professions and in the uproar that followed, factory xp was never mentioned again that I saw.

Unless the devs make a statement one way or the other, we don't really know if this is a bug or as intended. Regardless, factories are necessary to make quite a few items. Using them can't really be considered an exploit as you cannot make those items without a factory.
