I am new to WS as of a while ago. for lvling I have started a macro, but I have found that nothing gives you very much xp... I have been macroing metal staffs (approx 60xp) is there something better to build or a better way to go??? atm I can get 30000xp in 2-4 very long very boring hrs, if anyone has any hints could you pls pass them on.

It really sucks being a gimp WS when you wanna be awsome.I guess that the xp I'm getting is good but like I say very long very boring hrs, I can only do this so often without going nuts.

Cool Thx

Arlon

I thought it was quite quick. I did heavy warheads, as directed by the post titled The Slackers Guide to Master Weaponsmith or something like that. You need alot of thoranium steel and skevon gas, and some hydrogen-3, along with some generic metal.

Well, if you don't have access to the resources required by the 'slackers guide', I'd recommend the old 'Projectile Rifle Barrel' grind. You need to get the first level of firearms crafting first (your metal staff grind or projectile pistol barrels will do you until then), then move on to the PRB's.


I believe they were 92XP a piece in practice mode. I had a macro set whereby I was doing 1 every 5 seconds (obviously clicking the resources myself). That equates to 12 a minute - 1104 XP / minute, or 66240 an hour. However, you do need about over 800K XP to get master - I think I figured I'd spent about 13 hours double-clicking by the end of it.


It's bad, but no worse than the grind for other professions.

I have been crafting medium warheads since the resources for the heavy warheads aren't on my server.


Medium warheads give me 178 XP each. It takes 20 metal, 20 steel, 10 radioactive, 5 polymer and 30 reactive gas. I went and created 4 personal harvestors and placed them. I had 2 for the metal, 1 for the gas and 1 for the radioactive. I just buy the polymer which you can get for 3 CPU off of the bazaars.


Create a macro and double click away! If you are just grinding, then quality doesn't matter. I use some low quality copper for my metal and some steel which has a 91% vein near my house.

I thought bio engi was worse. Probably because I had to stop grinding and go get more meat from time to time, if I had the complete stockpile of meat first, maybe not. Still, heavy warheads are the bomb for exp per build... *snicker*

I don't know if the resources are worth it making the munitions. I have been grinding Blaster Rifle Barrels, and getting 120exp per combine. The resource list is MUCH easier, and cheaper. If you wanted to, you could buy all the different ores for pretty cheap.


  • 5x Crystalline Gemstone
  • 6x Metal
  • 12x Metal
  • 25x Metal
  • 10x Metal


  • Seems like an easier grind to me, but what do I know....I'm just starting out also.
