i heard that it depends on bp level
anything else, no idea

I'm not a crafter
there might be the tt of the stuff invovled, but i doubt the market value is
but not sure about that

It is based on Bp Level, the higher the bp level you craft, the faster the skill gain, but also the crafting loss gets bigger, so you have to weigh it up.

as your skills get higher you can craft the higher level components more efficeintly, this is also the case for skilling up the bp's as well.

I just keep making basic filters because they only need a lysterium ingot and one oil. They're great for skilling.

not when you start reaching the 1.5-2k MME mark. on a batch of 1k clicks, you might get 2 skills, but on Standard Dampers you may bet 7 skills.

It purely depends on how quiclky you want to skill and how much you can aford.

One, if not the, main skills is engineering (found under “science”). Engineering increases the tt value of the items you craft, means, if you get 1 ped with low engineering, you get more with higher, it also increases your chance of success.

I think these two paragraphs are wrong, and they should not be part of a crafting guide because they are misleading.

Crafting is very expensive even with high skills, and your crafting skills have very little do do with the output. Skills are needed to craft high level bp's (to get the Cos on them to full).

And this old myth of Engineering raising the tt value... I read this too when I started playing in some crafting guide for VU 5.something. Even if it was true way back then I really doubt it works like this now. I have seen no evidence of this being true since I started crafting, and I have chipped quite some engi...

One question here , all be it a newb one - I have just over 200peds can I start crafting and get roughly about the hit miss sucess I get with hunting loot? Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.


Ok to start with I get how many BPCs for filters? whats the cost for say 20 runs of a filter?, how much resourses are needed and what should I pay Excuse me if Ive mis understood this but I have never crafted.

uhm

hard to say

if you would get a say basic filters bp at qr 100 (no idea, around 30 ped?)
and sell the residue afterwards the loss shouldn't be that bad

if you get a BSM bp (basic sheet metal) the product can be sold with markup too

depends on what you want too

but i would say, if you start with say amplifiers now, you gonna lose most likely
weapons/tools/etc. the same

but thats my opinion, i don't craft enough to validate that

When I started my crafting on this char, I started with Nallo ceiling lamps (2 copper bar, 1 blausarium bar, 8 oil).

Now that was the most expensive way to skill from noobish to artisan, but I'm on my way to the top and had put my aim for carpeting only.

Cost me lots of donating money.

Now.. by the time I found out that there where cheaper ways I was too high to turn back .

But got pretty much globals from 50 PED - 77 PED with the Nano Lamps, and perfect crafts have 8,5 PED tt value.

So guys, advice... dont start with carpeting.

This looks like a stupid question...i guess i must've missed something...but where to find a book to put the bp in?
