I used Rykk Blades. I believe they used a petrochemical and a metal, gave like 115 exp, if you don't mind clicking on two different resources.

In the end (you knew this was coming) it all boils down to personal preference. I like the simple, steel-only PRB grind because I can focus my harvestors on one resource (and save any of the other good resources for actualy production) and you won't catch me getting that sore wrist thing. I can actually read stuff while watching the screen out of the corner of my eye and double-clicking when the schematic pops up. Multitasking gooood.

Just so everyone knows, the formula to calculated how much xp you get in practice mode is: #of resources x 2.05 then round to nearest whole number

I just did the math, which I hope is correct. To master weaponsmith, you would need to do 9,532 PR barrels craftings, using 438,472 units of resources.


I really, really hate my holiday holo right now.

HEHE I hear ya, bro. I'm over half-way and I can't even grind everytime I log on so it takes a LONG time.


But--that formula of yours is flawed!! Why? Because as you increase your skills you can't help but build stuff just to do it! You'll make things to try out yourself, for others to try, to sell on the bazaar, etc., and all those contribute XP.


It really isn't all that bad, right fellas? ..... Hello?


Good luck and have fun!!

To start of. I read the stick up messages saying read them on what to grind and gee, that messaage posted a mounth ago and I no clue on where it says to look for the inforamtion that is asked everyday so I am sorry to ask.


I got a halo <gee happy holaday> Says master weaponsmith. So this is the money/time sink for this player. Some other professions have on the top stick messages what to craft for Halo questers. I am asking that now. Is there anything I can craft that get to master weaponsmith? I know anything will do it in its time. Somethings are better then others.


Thank you for your time.

I found the first box is easy to grind with Metal Staffs. I make PRB's until I run out of steel then I make the staffs again. They are both good XP and easier than trying to get crystals/copper/gas whatever for other stuff. 94xp a crack isnt that slow. Day after my WS holo Im 0102. Not too bad for cranking grind quality steel/metal.

if u use macors (one thing im still figuring out how to do) and turn a mouse button to double click and use barrles or staffs u can go really qiuk and easy........



set up a macro clikc twice on steel(actually double click twice but my mouse is prgramed to double click every single click) and when u run out of resources.... do faction missions big ones for good xp then use the money to pay maintenance on harvesters and use the faction points towards WS xp( only if u have significant amount if not dont bother).


hope it helps
