It may get worse than that. I believe only artisan crafting exp can be used in the exp conversion for those lines. However, I would suggest we leave it that way. You only need Eng4 so you can max out general crafting practicing wind generators. Probably take 20-30 hours of grinding those to do all 4 crafting lines. It is the shortest grind there is. Can drop eng4 and artisan after that. From there the BE exp can be used for survival. It is the BE exp or scout exp, i.e. you need to kill a lot of stuff. So we are best off asking BE exps used for survival, survey (should take about 1 month of constant surveying to do the full line), vehicle and whatever was the 4th one in that group. That will be the hardest exp to get. That will allow BEs low on combat to 'grind' out through crafting the exp needed for those lines. Otherwise we are really at a big disadvantage or need to master a combat profession.
I think some of us already have artisan for the vendor or tailor. Shouldn't be much of an issue to get crafting exp for most.

I have a question regarding the FS crafting quests... I read the TC notes which said that a person could not get Phase 2 or Phase 3 crafting quests in the village if they did not have novice artisan. Does this seem fair to BEs who are a pure crafting class w/o artisan?
Where does it say that? I have some devs to whomp...

wait nancyj, so this means that FS only makes your experimentation rolls, assembly rolls, and repairs better? SWEET! i thought i would become inferior because i wasnt FS
This sucks ASS, so now we'll have to drop more skills just to keep up in the BE market. Otherwise we won't be able to compete. Figures, another way to keep crafters from having a combat skill.

Don't forget that they're removing looping in macros with publish 10, so make that 40 to 50 hours of grinding.

How do you figure? Its not like they're adding additional experimentation points. All they are doing is decreasing the odds of a crit failure and increasing the odds of an amazing sucess.

Doing the math on wind generators on practice mode it would take 20-30 hours. You can not afk crafting. You still need to double click. Also the looping macros aren't going anywhere for awhile, so that is not a factor yet.
Now surveying and/or sampling will take several 100 hours. The system is very unbalanced and messed up.

Hey I have a post with more than 1 reply.
I didnt even get any stars for this thouge 
Besides that thanks for the quick info,I have maxed out doc and BE crafting so im hopeing i can use them to go up.
As far as the whole Artisin thing that blows.
As a Master Doc/Bio it left me 4 points left over wich i put in to scout,but that will mean i will have to drop something to get the FS crafting,YES?
Also will the Food Stack with the Force Crafting? or would it just be a waist?
