Thread: Dear Devs, Please Add MORE stuff to craft that's over 100GXP at least!
The mainproblem -The Choice is too few!
Well, It wouldn't help me much myself, since I am almost done (about to Graduate Eng IV) anyway, but for New people, God Forbid they have to craft 60+ Bone Armors, or 300+ anything else to get to elite.
So,take too long (anything too long takes the FUN AWAY) isn't the only problem.
Solution -Easily add another couple of items to craft, but don't make it TOO easy either.
Instead, let it be something that requires Hundreds or Thousand of Metals. That way, they can focus on making Harvesters, and Not clever.
Then, if they like they can have their choice to craft 60+ Bone Armor plates 
I'm having ALOT easier time grinding weaponsmith than I did grinding chef.
Well this is great news for artisans, but I thought getting structure exp was a great thing for novice architects.
You dont' have to make bone armors, or anything else you dont' want to. If you choose to grind that is your choice, enjoy your bordom. If all you see is grinding to get somehwere else, you aren't going to be much happier as a DE. You get to grind out a lot of useless things you will never sell so you can make stuff you want to make at much higher level.

According to the Architect developer responses, the harvesters made in Engineering are going to start giving GCXP again.
When is this going to happen?
Look!
Why you say such things?
Because I complained gain GXP is not only too long, but also repetitive and no fun?
But that's the Truth!
I dunno about you, are you already in an Elite Profession?
When did you become Elite? Did you gain 400 CR+ when you were selling those Bone Armor plate.
Now days, I CAN'T even sell a 200 CR Bone Armor!
Go Figure!
Something Must be done to either
1)Speed up the GXP process
Or...
2) No Repetitive actions!
3) More fun involved
4) Salvage for decent money, when they don't even sell
I don't disagree with you in anyway. grinding sucks, is boring. The hardest challenge to grinding is staying awake.
However, if your already complaining now, you will reallly begin to hate life once you get to the elite levels.
I'm not even halfway to master weaponsmith yet, and I"ve gone through 150k in copper and various other resources and have had to of made the same stinking item 2000+ times already.
Artisan crafting/experience gain is MUCH easier than Weaponsmith or Armorsmith for example. Architect is the easiest since you have large items with bigger experience gains.
Let me give you an example:
The first level boxes in Weaponsmithing are 35000 experience I think. Most items give you about 90 experience each. Thats like 400 items you need to grind for ONE box. And it doesnt get much better as you go up the trees.
Makes 500 xp for a bone chest plate a fond memory for me....
And yes, Bone does not sell good nowadays. In fact, nothing is selling good nowadays. I dont know, but the master smiths are probably doing better.
No, the crafting stations just let you make a schematic for a factory.
Factories only give you a small percentage of experience nowadays.
