Artisan Archive

I have my surveying up to IV and engineering to IV. I was wondering if going straight to Novice weaponsmith would be better then becoming a master artisan? Any opions? Also if I untrain something do I get the xp back. (ex general crafting xp)?

NOPE, read the manual.

you do not get xp back from untraining. you only get the skill points back. So don't do it till you run out of your 250 skill points.

IMO, you will want to become a master artisian. With the business and domestic arts trees you will be able to make more than just weapons and have much more diversity in your wares. You will also be able to use vendors you hire in your own personal home which you can purchase from an architect. Remember you can master 3 trees so it would be a good idea to master artisian and two others along those lines of your choosing. Chef's make food that boost stats and tailors mare very nice clothes for entertainers to militia. I plan to be a master artisian and master weaponsmith and droid engineering as well. There are also certain components that make higher level items better which you can only make once you master the artisian tree.
