Artisan Archive

I grownd out MA slowly but I wanted to learn as much as I could along the way. During the time of grinding I aquired a few heavy harvesters and started mining the best stuff I could. Now I didnt need all these resources so I put some on the Bazzar and auctioned some but made sure to put back some so I could use it to craft when I became Master. Well here I am and it just seems to me that I could make lots more credits just mining and selling the resources. I set up a vendor put a few speeders and swoops on there and also on the Bazzar,told everyone in the guid Im in but it just dont seem worth the while. Do other Master Artisans really make more credits from selling crafted items other than just selling the resources?

Selling resources willalmost alwaysget you more credits than selling strictly artisan items.Many master artisans get it for the MA parts support (i.e. elec GP modules, control units, etc).

There is a market for master artisan crated parts though. DE's rely on them heavily and pretty much have to get MA to survive without hassle. MA parts will also get you more credits per unit than bikes in the current market.

Hmmm.Master Artisan can craft several items no one else can. You should concentrate on making those items. As for selling resources yes it can be profitable. Speeders involve allot of resources compared to the price you can sell one at.

If you find a good item to sell you'll easily make twice as many credits then if you just sold the resources. For most people a speeder will last a long time and they might not need another one. Try Power-ups, repair tools and items which get used up fast. Sell everything =) Someone out there needs those items, you just have to get the product to the customer.

Find a DE or Arch that needs components.

So last night I was working a swap with a guildie, and he asked for a full run of power cores in return."Hm.. I remeber those being a pain. I think we can do that though."

I go backto the shop and start looking.... power cores require one Arch item (generator) and, if memory serves, two Artisan items. At that point, I would have happily paid an artisan to do those two items for me.

As for the Generator, when I pointed out it would take 500k aluminum, my guildie significantly lowered the quantity he was asking for :-)
