if crafting filters or dampeners only... can anyone say about when is BPC unlocked?

I've yet to find a source that says about when someone can expect it to unlock BPC.

BPC should unlock at level 10 Mechanical Engineer when crafting filters or dampers.

I quote Entropedia: "Level 10 in any engineering profession"

how many filters does one need to make in order to start seeing a little return-on-investment from crafting?

None...filters & dumpers are for skilling not for making profit...you will loose constantly making those...except if you are very lucky and get hofs.

filters you wont see profit i guess

in crafting the only way to profit is having products you can sell with (useful) markup

with "product" i also mean residue, which you can use either to push the tt for L tools/weapons, and therefore get a better payback (since same % on higher tt means more cash) or you sell it


but you will need a useful bp which enables you to produce stuff you can sell for sure
if the prices for your resources are too high again then, is another topic

right, got to respecify my question...

how long do I need to spend wasting my lysterium and oil on worthless junk before I have sufficient skills to produce something which is actually worthwhile?

How much money will it cost me before I end up making something usefull?

Way too long and way too much. There are only a handful of crafters in the game that can produce good items, and they have spent absurd amounts of money to get where they are. And I'm not even sure they are making any money out of it.

i guess with the current skill system
lots of oil and lyst

the standard answer is to craft until you unlocked bpc, and then move to something "useful"

but if that is going to be profit, is another thing
