I started up Artisan. A guild friend gave me about 30k materials to work with. So I decided to take it all the way.
He gave me 10,000 Steel and I baught 5,000. I used it all. I took this exact path.
CDEF RIFLE -> Eng III
WIND POWER GENERATORS -> Eng IV, Domestic Arts IV, & Business IV.
This ran me through the steel. I did it all in practice mode. I did this while Surveying. I survey'd with buffs. Free ones of Action / Stamina / Quickness to lower my Survey Macro Time.
I then got Survey IV.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I need help. I got a friend giving me a Factory once I start up Architect. I'm working on the 33,000 and have 6,000 on it.
Now what you can help me with:
1) Continue making wind power generators?
2) How do I know a place is good enough to set a harvestor?
3) How much should I put on the Harvestor's Maintenence. I have four Personal mining harvestor things. I also have 184,000 to use on Architect to help get me to master and get me profit to do it. So how much maintenence should I have on a harvestor at a time?
4) Should I survey the same area the harvestor is set to bring in the small amounts to add to the big?
5) When should I check the Harvestor? Every day? Or before it is time to put in more maintenence?
6) Are other people able to pay for your maint? My guild said they'd help on maintenence fee's if they could and would like to know. Maybe I could put like 5k in and them 5k or what ever amount.
All the help would be appreciated. I know I have more questions on my mind but I cant bring them to the top of my head.

1) Definetly do not continue on wind generators they get you general crafting EXP not arch crafting EXP
2) youll be looking for ore typically a good ore spot spawns only at about 60-70%
3) all you need on a harv is enougth to keep it going till you cheak on it again typically for me thats usuall a days worth
4) if you have time yes its always worth a bit more and typically your surveying will bring in a comprable amount to a personal harvester
5) check on your harvs almost constantly many a time ive left them alone whilst i sleep, come back and theres only 50 units in the harv after the spawn dissapeared
6) you can set different priviliges inside the Harvs menu so yes

1) I did wind gens til Novice Arch, then you only get Archy exp for doing items from arch boxes you have filled.
2) Survey all over, like was said, you'll need a ton of low grade ore, grindable (low) quality is fine for most uses.
3) 800 per day for personals, I'd move up to at least a couple larger harvesters asap, for Arch the small ones have a hard time keeping up if you are grinding fast, even filling all your lots. I don't even macro grind and still couldn't keep ore in stock just grinding a couple hours a night with4 personals on ore.
4) shouldn't need to hand sample in addition, tho I did when I just had personals going for the "odds and ends" resources I'd need from time to time, reactive gas etc. until I got a little ahead on ore/steel etc and could spare a lot for the less used resources.
5) I check em daily to see if a resource has shifted away, but no need to if you have the power/money to pay a week at a time. You'll find that often when one resource shifts away there will still be another resource you need under that harvester that you canchange over to pulling. Power is usually the issue here.
6) Sure, you can set admin for whoever to help with harvester maint/checking.
Read thru the stickied FAQs as well, some good info there

My current status. It has increased.
I set Two Medium BER9 Harvesters on the best steel that can currently be obtained. Up the file I set A medium and a personal on Ore. I need to find someone with lots open. Like people in my guild. So then I can set more harvesters.
I got a free factory from a guild friend, and 100,000 Wind Power. I also have two Wind generators on 69% Wind sources.
I will check every day. I only put in 5k maint for medium and 3k for the personal. I have a Heavy Harvie I have to set so I'll replace that with the personal.

My advise to you my fellow archi freind is to
a) Get BER10 harvesters on ORE and as much as possible (BER10 is still Medium Mining)
b) Get a Ion harvestor, BER14 and costs the same to run as Wind Gens and Solar Gens but the power you get is alot better quality, and in better % spots. These harvest all radio active spots (found in mineral surveying devices)
