Hi,

I dont get to play a whole lot during the weekdays and the time I do get to play on the weekend I dont want to spend grinding muzzles. I was thinking about using a factory since I do have a fair amountof cash from weekend mission running and I macro mine while I'm at workduring the week. I would like to know a little more before I get involved with the factories and any help you can provide would be much appreciated. Some of my questions would be:

How much maintenance doesa factorycost per day?

How much GCXP can I expect? If I have the factory make 100 of a (normally) 200xp item, what percentage of that could I expect to get?

I know factories are not going to get me to weaponsmith overnight, I was just hoping they would help me get there eventually.

Thanks all.

I just started crafting as a profession (I was a Master CH and Ranger) what I did was very first thing I bought a Equipment factory.

Doing this allowed me to wonder around the same planet as my factory and i could still have some fun while gaining CXP.

I craft survey devices that use all metal from my factory I average 32CXP per item made. It makes One item a minute.

YOU MUST BE ONLINE to get CXP from a factory and I believe you must be on the same planet. You should test this for youreself.

BTW I bought my Factory from
Nicjac and Gui-jan on Chilastra they are great!!!

You have to be online and within 400m of your factory in order to get your XP so don't wander too far...

If you are still early on in the game, I would hold off on factories and grind small stuff to get Domestic Arts 1 and Engineering 2, then you can build bone armor which gives like 400xp per.

this is even easier if you have scouting abilities.

I am new to the game too, but I think that untill I get my character to a level that I want in all my fields, I won't be opening a business. but once I am all leveled up and I have a good base of money, I'll just jump right in
