Hi there i am finding the easiest that requires no real skill just takes a little time and about 300k ish of resources for each type to get to master..

Craft Segments i am doing recon segments and with a good macro i can get the top box in about 4 hrs work ish..

Also to make these i am using steal / copper / hide / fiberplast i am just roughly guessing its not the fastest way i am sure but i feel its the least expensive by far..

Also just buy the cheapest resources you can find usually they come in 100k blocks if your lucky and try and get them for 1cpu..

A macro should work fine near a crafting station. At least they do to the best of my knowledge. Some macro guides tell you not to be near one simply because the station increases the number of schematics you have available to you, and this throws the schematic number off. It can also get very laggy if you're using a public station in a city.

Also the crafting station gives you an option to experiment, meaning that the macro should

Thanks, i'll give it a go tonight,

Do you have a good macro I could try please, i am terrible at writting the things.

Thanks

You can probably Google for one. I've used a tailor one before, but that macro doesn't to take the experimenation option into account. You have to have a macro that skips experimentation so you can just make the prototype and repeat.

Without getting into crafting macro specifics it should look like this to craft near a station:

/next;

/createprototype practice no item;

Actually, there isn't a grinding FAQ up there. The cheap, slow way is to grind segments to personal armor 3 and then grind ubese shirts. The quick, pricey way is to prepare thoroughly and grind mabari chest plates.

If the search is up and running, just type "grind" in and you'll find a lot of posts.

There isn't a grinding FAQ post, but in the basic AS info thread he does discuss grinding out AS. Just FYI

It's not in Oa'kron's post CU post (I am going to have to talk to him about his spelling ), and Jaato's pre CU piece is pretty dated. Anything that mentions AUKs is not very useful.

AFAIK, you can't grind Mabari chestplates anymore as a newbie. At least not realistically. Besides needing the factory crates of synthetic cloth and reinforced panels (and lotsa hide), you now also need factory crates of cores, which in turn require the crates of segments. I guess unlayered segments.

Maybe a few people have the cash, factories and resources to grind Mabari chests, but probably only very established players or those with exceptional guildmates. Any stats on how many factories you would need to run to keep up with the grind if you could actually afford to do this? It takes days for some factory runs to complete, no?

Chest plates are definitely not for the newbie, but we have so many established players trying new professions that it is certainly an alternative for some. I certainly wouldn't try to have factories supplying you as you grind. You'd go crazy running between them pulling out one core at a time. Better to let the factories do their jobs while you go do something fun for a few days.

I've been playing since launch, and am well established on my primary server. But, I started a new char on a new server and I'm grinding AS there. Since he's new and poor, I'm going the "recon segment" grinding route.

I've already made novice AS in a few hours making crafting tools.

Now, it will take 12 hours of steady grinding and 17k of copper, 17k of leathery, 33k of steel and 49k of fiberplast just to be 3-0-0-0 and be able to make ubese shirts.

Once I canmake ubese shirts, I'm guessing 25-30 hoursadditional grindingto make master.

Too early to even think about CAs
