Artisan Archive

The title of this really should also include or Novice Elite Artisian Profession (except Merchant), but that was too long.

I've been an artisian since a week after the game started and have read this forum off and on, but if this has already been posted, my apologies. However, it wasn't until yesterday that I thought of this idea and its implications.

If one starts the game out as an artisian, you should have at least a mineral survey device and a generic crafting tool. The survey tree just requires time while the other three require grind material. You can mine this yourself (hand mine for free but would take for ever or have harvestors - but this still costs money to run) or buy it.

However, you can general crafting xp for free. Do crafting missions - each schematic gives you 40xp - while this isn't as good as practicing survey devices as I did, the materials are free - just talk with an NPC for the mission. If this is done in a small city like Anchorhead, the most you have to go is 100m to get your materials. Make the item - practice if you want - delete the mission and go get 2 more crafting mission. Volia, free general crafting xp. If you want cash, complete the missions by simply jumping on the shuttle to the destination city - I've been doing this for a little over 1600 credit profit per trip. This might take a bit longer than just grinding on resources, but it's absolutely free.

(As for gaining skills, get them from someone for free and as for master artisian, that just requires teaching others which will take some time, but cost you 0 credits.)

I prefer the scorched earth policy. Drain the resources. Shoot the native rats and humanoids and build bigger mining machines. Also to leak oil and radioactive 7 all over the ground water and animals.
