I normally craft Generic Crafting Tools for quick and easy xp. Is their a better throwaway item to craft to come up quick in the xp?

It's all about supply and demand.

Opps, posted above in wrong thread. I find that weapon repair tools are ok because it takes on type of material. I guess anything that take one type can be better because you don't have to go around sampling multiple things. Also does anyone know if crafting stations still give GCXP. I remember in beta they cost like 450minerals or steel but would give 900XP for crafting one. I believe that came with novice architect.

I've found that any of the ranged power-ups work wellto get the mostexp for your buck. They take only 10 resources (6 metel, 4 chemical) to make but give 40 general crafting exp. Granted it's not much, but if you use 3 general crafting tools one right after the other you can pump these out pretty quickly, the the exp really adds up.

Powerups are also very nice because they are a comsumable that is highly sellable. Of course you should spend some time in experimenting on them to help them sell, but I'm not in a super hurry to max out. Bone armor is also great. Just ask people to give you bone/hides for free armor, or i've done it for friends really boosing my xp.

Power ups are great, yes. Experiment, experiment, experiment. I heard some guys saying as they browsed the bazaar, "I can't find anything". I asked if they would like to purchase a 40-61 CDEF derivative for a reasonable 450. I had a LINE of people run TO me FROM the bazaar terminals. And I tossed in some of the sweet +29.8 power ups that I've been selling for 300 each.

First I was happy to hear that they were adding me to their buddy list. THEN I heard them say, "Let's go back to Tatooine." My first INTERPLANETARY CUSTOMERS!

BTW...first 16000 credit day in sales....

not too sure but i know first time you use it you get the UXP. anything after that, if it gives you UXP is a very slow amount. perhaps it trickles over time? i dont really sit around and wait for my items to be used to make sure.

Yes you do get Xp everytime someone uses (or yourself) your items which you create. The Xp is so small though so don't rely on that to level up. I got like 2 Xp for surveying for chemicals for alittle while and one Xp for everytime i crafted something with my Weapon, Droid, and Generic Item crafting device.

Ok, I have a question about Crafting XP. I understand you gain some for crafting the item, but don't you earn some if someone uses your item? If, do you earn it for the FIRST time they use your item or EVERY time they use the item (a weapon for instance)

I complete agree with the weapon power-ups way of gaining crafting XP.

I stood next to a weapon crafting station and had 2 weapon crafting tools in my toolbar and 500 metal/500 chemical in my inventory.

whenI hadcrafted and experimented one power-up (I was going for scopes, grips and muzzles) I started up the other weapon crafting tool whilst the first was finishing off the prototype. by the time I had made a power-up with that one, the first was ready to use again.

I quickly made the 3000 XP I needed to get to Engineering III, then I went through all the power-ups I had just made. i threw away the vast majority but took about 20 of the best ones to the bazaar and put them up for sale at around 100-200 credits.

When I logged back in 8 hours later I had lots of emails telling me the auctions were successful, and my crafting XP was creeping up in small amounts which I attribute to people using my items.

It seems the Ranged Weapon Power-up is the GCXP of choice. I do the same thing although I use quit a few of my own powerups. I always use the crafting station to experiment and I have had some sweet powrer ups. I also sell quite a few but I have not noticed any usage XP.

I am Surveyor and Engineer. I went to see novice trainer for elite profession in Tatooine. I don't have enough xp for General Crafting to learn elite profession and I have only 65 xp is not enough. Where can I learn for General Crafting?

Build stuff and having people use them increase General Crafting XP.
