Artisan Archive

Well, you get the idea. I'm not new to artisan - I played out to master artisan in the beginning, then gave it up for a combat class (Commando/smuggler)...enough about that

The last time I played Artisan, as you progressed up the survey branch you became more accurate with survey devices, and could search a greater range. Right? right. Well, I picked up artisan on Intrepid tonight, and when I hit and learned Survey I, the range/accuracy of my surveys were the same. I went through the radial menu to the "set range" option, but with survey I i'm still stuck at the "64m x 3 pts" range - was there an update that changed this? does survey I not increase range, only survey II - IV? Any insight to this would be much appriciated by the once again newB artisan

Thanks

You get increased results at 1 and 3, increased range at 2 and 4.

it was considered a bug to learn all the way up to the maximum resolution and then give up all survey skills and maintain the same range

they fixed in in the first 3-4 weeks of the game

Right, but as a novice artisan I can search at 64m x 3pts and when I hit and learned Survey I, I could still only search at 64m x 3pts. It's the only option given under the range screen when you go to Radial menu - > Tool Options -> set range

if you left the survey tool in the f bar, then it usually won't recognize the range change. Take it out and put it back in. If that's not the case, i've found destorying it and building a new one works.

thanks - i'll have 2 soon, so I'll let you know how it works out. And I do have it in my F bar - I'll remember to remove it before I learn 2 and then replace it when the range is updated - thanks for the help!

Heh, reached Surveying II (almost to III) and Engineering III - the range did update, which is a relief for me Thanks for the help everyone...just one sort of unrelated question:

Do harvesters/power generators give general crafting XP now, instead of architect XP? I know it was in the Dev response saying that it was "going to be changed back soon", I'm just wondering if it has yet, because that would make life so much easier thanks

You will not get increased range until 2.
