For the PA architecht out there listen up. You want to get master fast? then stop making houses and start making Private Craft stations. They cost 450 resources and give 1125 exp that is 2.5X resources. The quickest way to go up the ladder. Make yourself a factory to build them right now with the bug still in place you get 90% exp on factory builds instead of 10%. That way you get your PA hall faster and don't screw up the real estate economy for the rest of use. Sell the stations cheap I don't care leave the houses to the rest of us

Where did you get 1125 from? I just built several after reading this... They only produce 900.

My mistake I used some optional components. Still though it is 2X exp and our houses will be scarcer

Sounds like a decent idea to me. I am getting so angry with the housing market currently. I have lots of people asking me how much I will sell them a small house for. When I tell them 20k they laugh at me. I see people in town selling them for 10k constantly. Makes me ill.

I still have yet to sell a single house, and most likely will not.

I am currently making houses by order only. I finally sold my first house today for 15k with no complaints about the price. To me 15k was even too low as I failed TWICE on the final combines todayon houses. :\

I think we have to give it a few months to settle down also. Right now you have to many people grinding out Houses to level and to many people from the EQ's that dont know what it means to Own Your own house, Also after veichels come out and we can cover more planet there will be a Houseing Boom. By that time most of Us will be Masters andI wont sell cheap. Also right now with the Harvestor bug, Resources are wayyyy to easy and 10k for a house is about right.

I'm a newbie architect. The first hout I make will be mine. I have dreams of building my own farm int he middle of a lush field far from any towns. (Until it turns into uo and you can't move without hitting a house...)

Ah, I guess I won't get to own a farm... I didn't know resources rotate on a weekly basis.

I thought the point of the game was to make money. Well sorta one of the points. So if I can make something of good quality and sell it for less than you guys and make money. I'll do that. It's more money in my pocket. Isn't that how an economy works? Try and outdue the compition. Last time I checked it was.

I agree. Right now I could see selling Small houses for 5k while resources are almost unlimited. If we get enough houses out there now it will start a Houseing Boom. If your freind has one then you have to have a Bigger One.

What I don't understand is why people are grinding on houses. For heavens sake, make stuff that you can USE. Structural and wall modules, generator turbines, manufacturing mechanisms...none of this is ever gonna go to waste.

Except for keeping my vendor stocked with a couple houses, I ONLY make houses to order. It's pretty quick when you have a couple crates of structural modules already.

The business competition is of course the way it should be. Undercutting others to get more customer the capitalist thing to do and since swg and artisans aren't communist I will do the same. What I meant about the post was that a lot of people don't seem to understand that it takes a lot of time for none hardcore players and hardcore players without a PA to back them to even make one factory. Then to see someone selling at 12K. well that is just ridiculous. Makes architects want to switch proffesions since you can make 3000 on a single destroy mission.

Although I am all for that too since less architects in the long run when more buildings come out means better prices for those that stick to it. But for now I am in the always broke category since no one buys at more then 10K for a house and I tip well at the cantina and hospital.

So only houses by order now and for grinding make craft stations.

Well if you can get 3000k for a destroy mission then maybe get a little combat xp. I myself am getting master Arch and master Rifleman. That way I can do either to get money. If you want a house i'lll sell ya for cheap. If I need quick cash, point me in the direction of a nest. Everyone so far that I have talked to goes in one line. They need to master the profession they wanted forom the get go. I myself have wanted both from the begining. I know I have to do a lot of traveling to get to resources so if I can destroy things along the way I will and earn more cash. I know this was a bit off topice, but there is enough points for people to master atleast to profession and almost a third if done correctly.
