I'm starting up the path. I'm about to make my first Personal Sheild Generator. In the final combine, what area's should I be most interested in maximizing for minerals and experimentation?

Thanks!

I dont even HAVE a Artisan character yet, BUT I have started two characters and in the same days I deleted them or stopped playing. I love the idea of having my own shops and/or my own factories and all. My problem is, that the first robot missions seem hard. What server do you think is the best for resource gathering on the planet Tatooine?

Also, I'm planning to get scout and do a lot of bone/hide work because it seems a lot easier then mining. Is it easier? Where do I go to craft bone/hide objects and how do I know I'm ready to create it? Do I need a skill first, what?

for the resource gathering question, no server is better than another. resources come and go randomly, and they are referred to as 'spawns'. one day, you might be able to get a resource, but the next day, its not there. i am on the corbantis server and i find that tatooine is great for harvesters because there is a TON of open and flat areas.

for the bone/hide gathering, id say it is much harder than using harvesters. once you get enough money and power, you can set up some harvesters to mine for you. they even run while you arent online. even f you have a few personal extractors, youll end up with a decent amount in one night. harvesting hide and bone can only be done by hand which can get quite tedious.

to make bone/hide stuff, you will only need a generic crafting tool i think, but you might need a clothing and armor crafting tool. there are public crafting stations which you can use just by standing next to it and using your clothing/armor crafting tool in your inventory

to master artisan quickly:

go to mos eisley and take 2 artisan crafting missions for 1300 each near the shuttleport. make sure they are 150m to the east, or at least in that general area. buy a round trip ticket to anchorhead, craft the items, and deliver them. repeat as many times as you want. you earn about 2500 per trip so youll be earning money quickly. once you get a decent amoutn of money saved up, invest in a few personal extractors and maybe even a wind generator. survey to find a high percentage of a resources you want (some sort of metal), and drop the harvesters. pay some maintenance and deposit some power, and let them run overnight. check back in like 12 hours and you should have a lot of resources. now use your generic crafting tool to create survey devices in practice mode. make hundreds of them until you get enigneering 3 in the artisan chain. once you get engineering 3, craft wind generators and personal extractors for exp. these take more resources and different kinds, but you can either use your harvesters to get them or try to find some cheap stuff at the bazaar. sellyour extractors and harvesters that you are making for 100-500 credits in the bazaar for a decent profit. it doesnt take too long once you figure out what you're doing. once you are a master artisan, you can make vehicles and make a nice profit. i hope i answered all your questions and if you have any more, let me know
