SO let me get this right. You grinded out a crafting profession, are now a Master DE, have no clue about the profession at all (not even the basics ie. slots) and you come and want all the information about the profession to be handed to you on a platter?


wow

Read the Sticky FAQ here. Even without the new stuff, the principles still apply.


Personally you ought to either lurk and learn for a little while, or drop half your boxes and start with the basics. I hope to god you don't try to run around with your Master DE tag over your head, because it's not going to help anyone. Even 2 weeks after our publish I still get lots of questions when I go into cities, and you aren't prepared to deal with that in a fashion that reflects well on the profession.

I can sooooo feel the love in this thread


Anyways, I about to be in the same boat myself. Before ya kill me, I gave up the Master Architect title and wanted to get into a little more challenging field that didn't require creature harvested stuff. Last time I checked there was no "meat puppet" droid =) Being a Master Archi, I have more than enough materials onhand to master the profession and the cash reserves to afford it. Don't see any logical reason to compete with actual new players struggling just to make their next MSE.


To the original poster, you gotta learn to walk before you run. If you have never been a crafter before, I suggest hitting SWGCraft, read there, about all the crafting professions. Untill you learn the formulasregarding experimentation and material statistics and how they interact with the final product, your doomed to produce sub standard hack quality crap.


A little digging after that and what you need to know is in this forum, probly not even 3 pages deep. Spend the same amount of time researching the craft as you did grinding it and you will be producing quality stuff in no time.

A little overboard on the hostility here, all he needed was a nudge to the FAQ, he wants to learn and while this is far from an ideal way to go about it there's no need for all this vitriol

New DE myself, i was grinding it before the change -- just slow, -- didnt even know about the changes -- just not enough droid engineers on my server and to many weaponsmiths,



my advise contact some existing droid engineers, lucky i play ion a server with the likes of ackis... experienced de's are your best bet, 2 weeks in and im running 3 factories gathering resources and ive made 1 droid. (gathering skill tapes to)



I honestly had de as my holo -- i mastered it and i dont plan on dropping it. i found a class i love.



all i say is the imperial army on wanderhome will now be supplied with the lates in droids, once all these factories are done --- lets see 1000 droid branes done... 1000 advaced chasies, level 6 armour modules 1000 -- i run factories on non experimental parts with grinding resources -- like i said its a few weeks in -- and by friday i will be able to pump out my first few lots of droids.. my problem is i dont do things small -- mind you i have the credits to do things real large...



just remember factories and high quality units in the right parts are your friend.

This happens all the time. I have a RP apprentice in my guild an what i told him applies to this situation.


"Do you wanna be a DE or are you holo grinding?" i asked my pupil


"No no, i want to be a DE i want to make droids," he replied


"Ok good, cuz i can teach you how to get to MDE, but you wont really be a master of anything, you wont know the first thing about making a droid," i instructed him.


I continued, "You see this tag over my head," /pointup "It means nothing. You have to really learn this profession to do it well."

That is ok. I grinded DE in 1 day and drop the same day without making a single droid (practice mode all the way).
