Architect Archive

I was wondering what anyone thinks is the best way to get the 33000 general crafting experience needed for Novice Architect. Like what items does everyone think are good to make over and over again to get the need xp. Thanks.

Bone armor.

better yet become a weaponsmith or something. I don't want more competition. lol j/k

any thoughts on getting the hide and bone I need. I have harvesters getting me plenty of the other stuff. I've been making bone armor for engineering 4, but I'll have to make almost 100 of the armor, and it took me forever getting enough hide and bone just for 10, so whats a good technique for harvesting those resources? Just go and kill things?

Thanks.

I stood in the town square and offered to make at cost if they brought me the resources. Abother way is to make Muzzle's they are lvl 14 complexity and give a good exp ratio to resources. But you need to make a lot and destroy them afterwords since so many people have made them they are worthless right now

Dont forget the use xp from things like armor.. It was looking hopeless when I started working on the novice architect skill with so far to go, but then a few deals I had been working on for hide and bone came through, and I was able to start churning out armor at a pretty good pace, and it was selling as fast as I put it up.. and I charge a premium rate, and of course i experiment on all finished goods so that people will buy my stuff with 18, 14, 14 and 10k for the stats on a bone chest (as opposed to the 11, 8, 8, 8k that you see so much of). The upside was not the sale or the credits, but the use xp that started rolling in. After the first day, I had crafted about 10 full sets and that gave me like what.. 12k xp? but in about 5 hours of gameplay where I wasnt crafting armor, I gained about that much again.. it was awesome watching the gcxp go up 200-300 every 5-30 seconds.. I would go to the bank and back to the crafting station and have 1000 xp more than I started with.. as a matter of fact, I probably made about 30 full sets of bone armor, and after getting novice arch, I continued to get residual xp so much that I completed all but dom4 on the artisan tree.. Granted I had a few other things out, like about 30 cdef pistols and rifles, some crafting tools, some survey tools, and even some clothes and such, but I got like 3k gcxp the first day after making novice arch. Now I have 6k to get for bus4 and i can tag master artisan to the other accomplishments.. Not to mention my sources that I developed for bone and hide have been bringing me bone and hide for 4 days now after I dont even need it.. so I have an abundance of that for my armorsmithing buddy.. and to get that extra 6k gcxp..

It seems like there is a tiny bit of gcxp in architect, but it is almost unmeasurable. I think it is based only on final assembly of the end product, and only up to 50% of that.. I might have gotten a couple hundred use xp from a factory i sold, but I only noticed a little increase because I had an odd value there like 12801 and that is hard to do when you get even number xp from everything..

Basically, it isnt just crafting the stuff, but getting it out there and let the players do the work for you..

I pity the grinders that grind and destroy because with a tiny bit of effort, you can get your products used and double the xp..a little experimentation and good advertising goes a long way. I still sell cdef pistols for 500-750 credits because the people that actually look are realizing that the 100 credit pistols are weak and slow.. my pistols do 26-54 damage and have a 3.6 speed.. there is better out there, but not on my planet.. so I consistently sell these things and get a huge residual in xp.
