Well for power, you can either buy it off the bazaar, or get a personal wind generator to start. I believe you can use radioactives and other certian resources (I don't remember which ones) for power. As for making you one, well I can't help you there. You can try the trade forum (doubt you'll find one there) or look on the bazaar for one. Usually you can find starter stuff like that on the bazaar.

give this a read it will answere many questions : )

But he is right.. check the bazzar.. you should find some for around 2-5k make sure ti says BER 4 thats base extraction rate. there are lots of 1's and 2's flouting around.

Well, I just am getting interested in the Artisan Profession, and, I bought a Personal Mineral Extractor and placed it, and I was wondering, how do I get power to turn it on? And, if I do, is it possible that someone could make me one on the Kauri Server?

Yes as has been said you are not limited to Wind\Solar Energy. You can use Radioactive and I am pretty sure anything that comes under "Energy" in the submeno on the Bazaar's\Vendors.

Its worth considering investing in a Heavy harvester, as it still only uses 1 lot (althoug the energy\maintenance is more) - on a good spawn 75% plus you should be able to pull about 10k or so a day of resources with a decent BER13.

I'm new to this whole thing too and I didn't place my first generator until right befor I made MA. In order to be an artisan you have to craft and part of reaching MA is crafting the units you are talking about. You have the tools right from the beginning to make your own harvestors and generators.

Here is what I did.

I started harvesting by hand right from the start but while I was harvesting I would craft if I had the materials, if I wasn't crafting I was going through all i could read in the help sections and just getting comfortable wih all the screens. I was working the scout trees to help in my harvesting efforts at the same time. I would go out killing and harvesting creatures and lairs. I also started milking the creatures when I obtained mask scent.

The skin and bones gave me the materials to make a camp and I would make camp on top of a good mineral run soI would get scout xp. I have novice entertainer so I could buff in camp as needed that gives you a 10 percent boost to xp. 10% is a lot ,don't leave town without that insp buff..

don't worry about selling your products at low level, If you want to sell, sell cheap. In the beginning you want experience, that's where the money comes into play. It's the high quality you want to produce.

So how do you get a power plant? make one. As you are harvesting make the maximum use of your time and craft. As you progress craft more stations and rotate between them . less downtime. by the time you finish crafting in one the other has completed it's cycle.

One more point. Place the power plant first for a couple of days to get some power credit. Harvest from the machine then go back and set your other harvesters. when the add power screen comes up you will be able to transfer the amount you need. I think I read last night it was 600 a day to run a personal harvester. even at low level I'm getting 3000 units of energy in less than 24 hours from my wind generator.
