They're not all survey missions - some are crafting missions. Go to Point A toget schematic and components, make item, deliver to Point B. Cash and (I believe) G.C. XP

So, are all the new artisan missions survey missions, or are there some crafting ones too?

---

Just like on the regular mission terminals with destroy and delievery,there is a tab at the top of the artisan mission terminalto switch between crafting and survey missions. Crafting missions seem to be "artisan delievery missions" at least on Rori... they all required that I hop on the shuttle to the other town to finish them. Survey missions are easier and pay better.

Where are you finding the 1800 credit survey missions? I have refreshed and refreshed, but the highest is 900 for me. I'm at the terminal in front of the keren starport.

This will likely get nerfed - I made 16k last night in about half an hour, crafting ribbed shirts as I ran.

Yup thats why I posted it. My friend and I made 50k each the first day. Bought 2 solar generators and 4 med. harvesters .

Heh, I was doing these from the first day I played, from the miner in the commerce guild - and you didn't have to leave town to do them. Paid for all my artisan training.

Whats that? You'll pay me 1500 to stand on your step and tell you theres a ferrous metal here? Thanks!

I ran these for about 2 hours yesterday and made 80k. I figured out I can make between 36k and 43k an hour, which is phenominal. Of course, the Devs will notice this, and then they'll get nerfed. I'm hoping it takes them a week or two though.

I've been occasionally doing these missions from the Commerce Guild forever too - seems like those were a largely unknown secret.

I've mainly done them for Rebel guys out in the field, though.

A question about these missions: Are they implicitly "one planet only?" Or can you locate resources on other planets? I got a survey mission for Solid Petrochemical, but no such resource exists on my planet. If I went to some planet where it *does* exist, and survey for it, would the mission complete?

So can you still accomplish survey missions from NPCs without leaving the city, or have they been altered to reflect the new mission terminal missions that require you to find your source outside of city limits?

Yesterday I just started stopping by the terminal whenever I headed out of town, and picking up two missions for the same type of resource. I try to get two missions for "non-ferrous metal" when I'm on my way out my house, because there's a good concentration of copper out there. You just have to survey once and both missions complete, it's so easy it's almost pathetic.

The NPC survey missions were altered for the "must be at least 500m away" condition quite some time ago, actually.

When they first changed them (my fault, actually; I reported it and then helped CS reproduce it), the distance was unannounced, but usually seemed to be greater than the width of the planet. The only way I successfully completed any at that point was to finish them off-planet. I'm glad they fixed that aspect.

They probably will nerf the current payouts with haste. Since the Keren bazaar is still hosed and all my slots are inaccessable, I've been doing survey, destroyand hunting missions for a LOT more income and a lot less work.

Yea, these new missions are just absurd. I harvest 5 different types of resources right now, so all I have to do is find missions for these resources. What's that? you want me to find a high concentration of petro? hmm, well I think my petro harvester would be a good place to look for that! lol

I run out to my harvesters, and cha-ching, 3k (1.5k each mission) each time. It's just nuts.

I think I've already found a bug in these missions. I was actually out running and talked to another NPC that gave me a crafting mission. I started running to point A to pick up the supplies, when I checked my map and saw it was way too far away for me at the time, I clicked the mission details and aborted it. A little while later I was scrolling through my schematics and saw that schematic for that item was still there. Obviously there was nothing I could do to get rid of the mission, and the npcs would be long gone, and the three items required to craft it are not player made in any way shape or form. It's not too big of a deal, just a little annoying to have a useless schematic in my crafting tool. I would think it would disappear with the mission when it gets aborted.
