ok I'm planning to level WS anytime soon, as I won't be able to do some business before I get master, I was wondering about the UXP (usage xp)

is it still in game ?
worth it ? I mean does that make a difference ?
is it for ALL crafted items or only a few ones ?

thanx for your help.

I don't specially want to level it up very fast, but if I can get extra xp for people using my stuff that'd be cool

I haven't noticed it work in a long, long time. Last time it did work required that you been logged in and the person using your weapon use it on the same planet you were on. I don't normally log on for extended periods of time with that character unless I amplacing harvesters and I have no idea if others are using my weapons on the same planet. Factory XP is also not working. So, I guess what I have to say is: "Get used to grinding projectile barrels."

Yeah. It seems to only work for me while I'm logged on and on the same world as the user. However... UXP is such crap on any weapons I've monitored that it's not worth the time.

When I was lvling WS I passed around VKs and rifles and stuff to my buds and the UXP was used up after like 30 or 40 hits. And since it degrades in amount (first shot was like 9xp, then next few were 8xp, etc.) it's kinda a waste. Unless you are in the position I was in where you mastered the technique tree first then made stuff for your pals when they wanted something to practice with... get used to grinding barrels. Hehe.

I used to hand-craft and give/sell cheap WUKs to Slicers back in the day on Coronet. I got tons of UXP since they were single use. Of course, even if that hole hasn't been closed yet all the slicers want crates of WUKs now and don't usually use them right away.
