I just hit Eng IV this morning, and my excitement was soon quelled by the 21k gen crafting XP I need for Novice Weaponsmith.

For those of you who've been here before, what are the better items to make to get that 21k? I know there's going to be a grind to it, but I'm prepared for that.

Also, a side question: do items that have been enhanced by experimentation give higher xp than those that weren't?

I think that the best way to get to Weaponsmith is to craft Bone Armor, ironically. That grind is not as bad as the D18 pistol grind for the next step up.

Experimentation appears to have no effect on XP, however if you craft better items they will sell for more and people will be more likely to use them (usage XP).

I amin the same boat as you are. I craft bone armor chest plates and sell them off. they give you tons of exp and you can make money.

i never really tried experiementing but i will.

and harvesters don't work they only give you structure exp.

It would seem that Bone Armor is the way to go. Getting roughly 500xp per bone chest plate.

It's a shame that you don't get the benefit of more xp from items with more experimentation on them though.

Bone chest plates are great if you have the resources for them. To make 30 of them I think I calcuated roughly 3100 hide, 800 bone, 500 steel (or metal), and about 500 poly. At 500xp a peice you'd need to make about 42 of them. If you have a tone of hide and a lot of bone then go for it

I went with muzzles 6 metal 4 poly 40xp. Lots of clicking

Once I made weaponsmith I got a friend to make me a factory and I chugged out blaster pistol barrels (still am) they only require 26 metal and give 50xp a piece. Build a few D18s and if you craft some decent ones then you might could sell but be prepared not too

Thisis my take on it. Everyone has a different way.

Note the date on the post, Exp was dropped from 40 to 20 on powerups last week.

This was precisely because the powerups were paying 2x the exp they should.
