I have heard that some artisans are making about 40 to 60k an hour doing artisan missions from the terminals. IS this true and if so, then how? WHen I get the crafting missions it says something like " go here get these parts put em together then go here and drop em off" Well the place where you go and drop them off at is thousands of M away. If you were to swoop it there it will take a while thus cutting down efficiency and ultimately the missions per hour. If you take a shuttle there you may have to wait for the shuttle for a number of minutes thus cutting into efficiency, and your profit margin for the price of shuttle fare. Plus the missions are only worth about 1200cr each. Im almost master 4/4/4/4 need like 200 more ap. Running extremely low on my cash reserves. as we all know getting to master arti is quite expensive and at the moment im have a hard time selling resources too. ANy advice is appreciated. And forgive me if this has been asked before.


Thank you

I just do survey missions. If you have a swoop bike, then it becomes really simple. First, before taking any missions, set a waypoint right at the mission terminal. Then drive out 1024 m from the terminal, and survey until you find something (metal, chemical or gas) that is somewhere between 1024 and 1200 m away, and is at least 70%. Make a waypoint right at the 70% point. Now, go back to the mission terminal, and keep refreshing until you find two missions that are worth 900 credits each for whatever you just found (metal, chemical or gas). Then you drive out to your waypoint, survey, and you have just earned 1800 credits. Then go back to town and repeat the whole process.


If you work your way up through marksman, on any one particular weapon (pistol, carbine or rifle), and get box 4 for that weapon, and then equip yourself with the weapon that you qualify for at that box, the missions you get max out at 1800 credits, rather than 900. However, they become more specific, in that you now need to find inert or reactive gas, instead of just gas. However, this method would work just the same, except that it is harder to find the specific mission that you want.

Don't let the negative AFKophobes get you down. Play the game however you want.

Is the beta testing almost over for this game?
