Having just started a new character on a new server I can assure you that use experience does exist and helps initially at the low levels. I sold loads of axes and staffs, all to people running around and using them in the same town mostly. For a few days the exp just ticked in, you could sit and watch it ticking up. Was nice. Eventually as people expand and move on the exp dries up. I admit I did not know that this exp gain was "geographic" although you must be logged on to receive it.

It would be nice if use exp was more wide ranging (if it is geographically limited) and also aplied to more items (applying upgrade kits, using repair, calling a droid, etc, etc)

Harf, Architect, Farstar

maybe the new patch or sumthing put this in because i too gave away ALOT of stuff when grinding bonearmor, etc, and never saw it go up 1 point

does anyone know how much/how often wearables uxp is given?

I read on one of the post u can get xp for people using ur weapons, or maybe i misread it and am confused. If so, is this a good way to get to master weaponsmith? about how much xp do you get?

upid question no offence, first, if ppl use your weapons you DONT get xp , 2ed, to master you need patience, macro and 450k of steel, it take a total of 850k of xp to master weaponsmith

Hate to say it but it not entirely untrue, there is UXP gained in weaponsmithing, but it is seriously borked. From my own experience I have noticed times while online I've gain occasionly UXP from weapons I sold in the bazaar. When those particular people used them, while I was in the same general area, I gain about 1 exp every so often, although very rare. But the major area I have noticed UXP was when I was grinding. I was helping a smuggler friend with their slicing so to help grind I made a whole bunch of D18 pistols for him and WUK's. When i gave him a batch of pistols and WUK's to work I'd check to see how much exp i earned in that round.......well to my surprised when he sliced a weapon I got about 80-90 exp for him using the WUK. He was standing next to me during the time. Maybe others can check to see if this samething is happening for them.

See what happens when you grind,kids?

Just say no to grinding.

and candy say no to candy(spices) ya grinding is pretty good but i take my time to fiddle around with stuff but you need patience eatherway

Simple experiment. Make yourself a new weapon/droid/general crafting kit. Write down your general crafting xp. Then make a pile of weaponsmith items (not artisan). Check to see if your general crafting xp went up. Any xp change in general crafting xp is due to usage xp since your weaponsmith items will only give weaponsmith xp.

You probably also want to give it up to an hour to check the effect on general crafting xp, since I seem to remember that uxp is similar to merchant xp in that it's only updated hourly to give the server some rest

Anyway, there is usage xp, it's just hard to notice and really really minor compared to the xp of making the item. It is there though.

Actually that's probably a bad experiment, usage xp is probably tagged to someone else using your stuff (some of the old Holocron posts suggest so). So get another WS and let them use the crafting tool

i know there is uxp in artisian but no alot..heh maybe 10-50 per item used by someelse... i got novice achitect with user xp lol (not all of it of corse but the last 100 points i needed)..not

oops cut me off i was going to say im not ot sure how much usx you get in ws but i know its nothing dramatic...

*Smiles* Hmm... well I may be the longest grinding WS left on Intrepid anymore... LOL Been running up the WS tree since July. *Giggles* I used to think that UXP would help Me to get somewhere in WS... till I realized I never get any. I made weapons for friends and watched them use them day in, day out right next to Me for weeks on end... not 1 UXP point did I recieve. Sad to say, I think it is broke.
