Droid Engineer Archive

sorry bout that..... i have been playing the game for a little over a week and i have read alot about the DE even though it seems we get screwed it has great potential in the future i was wondering what is your info for the fastest way to get too novice DE. what is the best items to build while an artisan???

I have heard that Bone Armor Chest Plates offer the most Artisan crafting XP. Once you can make installations like a Wind Power Generator I'd make those.

After that, get to Blueprints II buy making about 800 MSE droids at 140xp a pop (45k steel and 12k fiberplast). Then keep making Advanced Droid Frames (2k+)for 462xp a pop (roughly 350k steel and 200k fiberplast). If you have the time, the appentice xp, 5 tools and the minerals ready to go you should be able to get to Master Droid Engineer in 10 hours.

Enjoy.

I grinded the wind harvestors

I ground Bone Armor Chest pieces, but that was when personal harvesters still gave General Structure XP. Now that the harvesters give General Crafting XP, I'd grind those instead.

The easiest thing to grind is General Crafting Tools. It will only take about 30k or metal and 20k of chemical to do ... the cheapest and easiest of grinds.

However, there is currently a bug that causes the crafting window to randomly close while practising on crafting tools so you will need to MAKE them and just delete them after you've grinded 20 or so, then start again.

Doing this, you can grind through the Engineering tree in 10 minutes, and then to novice DE in about 20 minutes.

Easy as Pie.

Mmmmm Pie.

thanks too all for your suggestions this will halp alot for getting me to master artisan and master DE as fast as possible...

Reinforced Combat Stick works really well also, and uses only steel and wood. I used it to grind all the way to Master Artisan.

The easiest thing, if you're patient, would be to spend the next week and a half gathering a lot of steel and a bit of non-ferrous metal, and then making a few landspeeders and swoops when they come out. It looks as though those things will get you up to DE with about 14 total crafting steps.

Does this bother anyone who did it the hard way?

I did Weaponsmith back in July. And it was a lot harder then. Now this time I did simple shirts, then harvesters. The harvesters give you 400xp each. Meaning you can finish the 3 artisan trees quick. And then its quick up Novice crafters.

Each vehicle is going to be 3400xp right? Which means from engineer IV to novice anything is going to be quick. The reason it doesnt bother me is the grind from any of the novice levels is tough. So it may have been a cakewalk to get there. But now you have 100's of MSE droids, 1000's of AUK's, 70 D18's, and ..sigh... lots and lots of wastril bread.

Dont laugh - Bofa Treats - only 1 resource.

Yes it takes a while, but with a good macro....., AND you will never be hungry again lol

If you get tired of that try Travel Packs - generally you can sell all you can make

Ahh...those were the days

i did surveying tools and installations for artisan, mse droids and adv. frames for de

Axes, baby, Axes. They are only Wood and Steel. At 80 exp a pop, they aren't that bad.
