Hey all, I just recently amazed myself by getting 12 artisan skill boxes in an hour... seems impossible dont it?
wrong!
Here is my grinder's guide to getting all 12 Artisan crafting skill boxes in 1 and a half hours.
First off, get loads of Metal, Gas, and Chemical, around 5000 each, then starting burning off Fireworks in practice mode, they give around 30 xp a pop. Use two or three Generic crafting tools and keep grinding away until Engineering III. Once you hit Engineering III, let the tools stop smoldering and go grab your self about 5k Carbonite Ore, 5k Steel, and 5k of Aluminum. Make yourself three or four structure crafting tools and build Mineral Harvestors. They are nearly 430 xp a pop. The first slow part of the Artisan grind is the Fireworks grind to Engineering III. After that its cake. Keep popping out mineral harvestors. Here is how quick it is.
Engineering IV- About 12-16 Harvestors.
Domestic Arts & Business I- 2-3 Harvs.
Domestic Arts & Business II- 3-4 Harvs.
Domestic Arts & Bisuness III- 6-7 Harvs.
Domestic Arts & Bisuness IV- 12-16 Harvs.
Now surveying is the hard part, Im currently doing that, it will probably take a few days to do this, so all in all Artisan will probably take 2-3 days for a casual player to Master Artisan, and prolly 5-6 hours for a power grinder.
Thanks, please correct me if anything is wrong or if I should add more content...

Surveying:
Music buff, quickness buff, 40% spot (best for sampling I've found), 2 to 3 good movies.
Train everytime you make a block.

If you grind generic crafting tools instead of fireworks you get more xp - I was getting 42 per tool yesterday. Finishing up my last 2k of surveying now.

Heres a better way dude. Everyone says you should make muzzles because its complexity is 14..wrong. The more materials you need to put into a object, the more XP you gain. Start geting 5k of Steel, Aluminum, and Extrusive ore. Build Weapon,Droid,General Item crafters. Build 1 of those and set a generic crafter/WDGI crafter in f1 buttons. Make WDGi crafters until you get to engineering III. Then start making harvesters. Keep doing this to get 4/4/4/0 or you can get Architect, armorsmith etc in 90 minutes.
Weapon, Droid, General Item crafters give about 100-150xp
Muzzles-20, so thats a big old negatory
Harvesters-500-600 xp
IF you are near an crafting device, youll get bonus experimentation xp!

O and the reason you have a generic crafter, and Weapon,Droid, and GI crafter, is you can pretty much craft in generic, and not wait for it to finish loading into your inventory, because you can craft with the other one. When you get engineering III, make a structure crafter and do the same thing.

I did it like this in about 45 minutes, cept for surveying, of course
5 crafting tools across top bar
mineral survey devices until engineering 3
personal mineral extractors until 4/4/4/0. 45 minutes, cheap and easy.
There's probably an even quicker way, but it would take more resources and more types I'm guessing, but to each their own.

Thanks very much for the info guys. As a player pursuing BH via Scout, I wanted to set up a vendor to sell all the resources from my kills. Finding out that this required Artisan Business III, I was dismayed. Your advice not only helped me get the xp I needed to place my vendor, but also produce some damn fine items for sale on it, which has supplemented my income and facilitated faster gaining of xp towards elite profession skills, as well as enabled me to acquire some fine merchandise along the way. This post definitely enhanced my gaming experience, and at the end of the day, isn't that what this is all about.
