Hey all,

I have a UXP question. Please correct me if I am wrong, but you get double the XP if someone uses your crafted item? If this is the case, can you make several weapon powerups, and use them on your own weapons? I don't know for sure, but if you were just trying to crank out items to gain XP it seems like this would help.

Thanks!

As far as I know, you can only put one powerup at a time on your weapons. As an artisan, though, you're not going to be doing much killing unless you're harvesting bone or hides.

Accually for consumables like powerups it is only suppost to be +50% UXP. Also you get no UXP for using your own crafted gear, someone else has to use them.

What qualifies for usage? If I make a pistol for someone, they kill one worrt, and then scrap it, do i get UXP?

Tha last one is a good question squeesh. One that I unfortunately do not know the answer to. I'm waiting eagerly for a response.

Ooops, sorry. I meantSmeesh

Yes you can earn UXP on power ups. They earn only 50% though, as they are "consumables". Its 100% for buildings, 150% for everything else (weapons, armor, etc).

However, I dont believe you can earn UXP on items that you use yourself.

What about tailored goods?

I've clothed nearly all the dancers in my cantina, and I really can say that I've seen any significant amount of bonus XP. You would think with 20+ people wearing three or four of my clothes items at once for lengthy periods of time that I'd be able to report something, especially if the +150% rule applies.

Just more evidence that we need some kind of UXP tally system so we can find out if we're doing any good.

Yeah, tailored goods (and I'm a tailor) is where I've always had my darkest suspicions. Mainly from wondering how the UXP for clothes would be tallied by the program. It's pretty clear that most items give UXP based on some sort of distinct, active "use" action. E.g., a gun gives UXP when it's fired, a chance cube when it's rolled, etc. But clothes just sorta... *are*. It'd seem to require a different tallying algorithm.

Clothes supposedly work off a "time worn"... so, as long as someone is wearing them, you'll slowly get the UXP until you cap out. I think this is the same way the armor works too.

Aha, but do medics get medical crafting uxp? Someone's dumping 10 credit stimpacks on the bazaar...

As Far As I can tell you do get Uxp for items you make, and use. For example currently I am using a Chemical crafting tool to make medical stuff. I am getting Medical xp and General crafting Xp where my friend is only receiveing Medical (he is just a medic and did not make his tool).

Grinmin: You might find your friend is also getting GCXP as well. I have Novice Artisan with Eng 3 and built a couple of harvesters and wind generators for myself for scouting with, and noticed I didn't get any GCXP for them. However in looking in the "All Professions" list under Architect, I found I have a couple of thousand Structure Crafting XP.
So if your friend looks under All Professions Artisan, he should find some GCXP.
