I always use my own power ups, but I can't tell you if I'm getting UXP or not, since there are several other people using my power ups at the same time. I know I'm getting it, though, since I'm a casual crafter. I'll go into town, throw together some experimented power-ups, keep the ones that boost attack speed, (I'm addicted to the speed boost.) and sell the rest to a merchant who places them on a vendor. I then head back out into the wild, and my GCXP rises slowly as people buy and use my power ups.

(This is a great semi-fix for the 'Blank XP Bar After Loading' glitch. They come back as soon as you get any XP, and I have a constant stream of 1-2 XP every few minutes coming in.)

UXP only accumulates while you are actually ingame.

If you are ingame and someone wearing your armour is getting pounded on then you will accrue UXP.

Unfortunately if you're like me and play in the wee hours of the morning when hardly anyone is online then you are so outta luck as you'll hardly ever gain UXP. On the weekends when I get to play at peak times I can easily gain 1500-2000 UXP in a day but for the rest of the week I'm lucky if I gain anything at all.

Not sure how accurate that assesment is Larred. I have checked my XP when logging and then when I cam back the next day has significantly more XP (sometimes as much as 10k). This would idicate that factory XP and/or uXP continues to accumulate when loged out.

mmmm well maybe I'm just bugged someway.

I didn't notice at first as I'd always got General crafting UXP. The when I became an Armoursmith I noticed it seemed to not be moving even though I had quite a number of armour suits sold. So I started writing down my Armourcrafting exp when I logged off and checking it when I got back in as well as during play.

In near two weeks it has never once increased while I have been offline. There have been tiny trickles in my normal 3am-6amPDT play times on weekdays. The only time I get a good influx of UXP is when I get to play my saturday which isFriday, evening US time like yesterday in which I gained 1200 UXP in the few hours I was ingame. Having just ingame again , after being offline for nearly 12 hours my armourcrafting exp is exactly what it was when I logged off last time.

Larred, Intrepid

If Larred is correct, then this is a BUG, because SOE shouldn't expect us to keep our toons online just to catch UXP... especially those of us that didn't know about the factory exploit for 100% exp. before it got fixed ). I have many brand loyal customers that have been bugging me about getting to padded... and i sell about everything i make, no grinding.

so...

how do you tell it's uxp? if im crafting and gaining xp that way, it'd be nice to see the uxp coming in...any message about it anywhere?

As an Novice Artisans, if someone uses the barrel, grip, etc, I make, will I get UXP on it?

nope, or nope when the patch happens if it hasn't already

The only nerf to happen to power ups thus far is they fixed the bug that gave double xp for crafting power ups. There is no indication that they plan on removing UXP for other people using them.

Are you confusing power ups with components? They are going to remove the ability for you to get UXP when you craft something using components you built.

I was making weapon upgrade kits for xp grinding and it gives 60xp each, then when the smuggler uses it it gives an extra 90xp.... so i thought about selling crates to smugglers for cheap to get more weaponsmith XP...

So i gave 4 crates to my friend along with some low quality knives to slice on.

I then log out to watch a few animes and then come back and noticed i didn't gain any weaponsmith XP at all and he used almost 2 crates... that should have been aroung 2.5-3k xp in weaponsmith...

Does UXP work only when your are logged in? If so then its really screwed up.

No, but you don't get UXP for factory-built items, only hand crafted ones.

Hmmm im pretty sure i got UXP when my friend used the kit from my crate.... i will have to check again later

You currently must be logged in and on the same planet as the person using your crafted equipment to get UXP.

It is a bug. At least I hope it is just a bug,I can't fathom any reason SOE would actually want to increase its bandwidth load simply because crafters are staying online in order to get UXP. Hopefuly, this will be fixed in the big patch tommorrow, but I'm not holding my breath.
