How to unlock the Artisan Tuner achievement in Forza Motorsport 5 - Definitive Guide

Just an addition to the other awesome guides here.
Found a faster method which requires very less effort.
Works on the latest patch where are Drag races were added.

What you want to do is, race with a dummy account, whcich has your tuning setup and design on the car. In free play.
Instead of using Circuit races select Drag (by pressing 'right' at the Game Oprtions -- Game Type)


Game Type: Drag
Max AI: 1
Drivatar Diff: your choice
Car: Any
Drive Type: Any
Assists: you want to select Automatic shift

What I did:
I taped down the RT and watched some movies on my other TV and just selected Restart.
Takes about 1:00 minute to complete 1 race including all loading screens.

EDIT::: You have to do at least 80-100 races in one DAY ( I think the Forza Server counts from 7pm PST- to 7pm PST next day) to get credits for the races.

I made 330 races in ca 7-8hrs and earned 70k for tuning and 25k for desings.

ok new information, after 2 days no CR, i decided to create a second profile on my One, and a new tuned, and for this i just made my tuned for the at level A700 and only changed the pression on my tyres, on ma last i change more tuned !! after that, i play with my second profile with my creation and tuned, on career in the first championship and online races, after i became with my principal profile, and made new session with my 2 friends ( 6 * 10 races on drags ) and stop. Newt day after MaJ of servor, i win more than 16000 CR in one day, so not obliged to play in 5 days for this achievement, my 2 other friends win every achievement in 3 days ... Me i made a new session today and normally is good for me ...

Good luck !!clap

Just did 200 races (100 per/day for two days) in drag races in a private MP game. For some weird reason, it didn't give me any credits. It gave me 25,000 in design credits though. :/

works like a charm. Did 80 races one day, 160 the next, 80 the next and doing another 80 today and it should pop tomorrow. The money you earn seems to be abit random. as i earned 20,000 one time and another only 4,000. id say do at least 80 to be sure ( takes around 2 hours, could be quicker if you paid attention unlike me who was watching fawlty towers at the time :)

For the server i think the MaJ forza in europe is at 02:00 AM in the night ( france ), but must be verified to be sure ...
Now the big problem for me is the CR for tuning because i made 2 session boosting with 2 friends this w-e, one on saturday and one on Sunday, the guy who used my tuned and design give me CR only for desing, first day i win 10846 and the second after MaJ i win 11856 for more 300 races in this 2 sessions Drags !! But no CR for my tuned, and i'm sure i change differents parameters for that, pressions of tyres with other in engineering ... So i want to know if other guy have the same problem ????

This is very odd. I did 100 races on my 2nd profile today and banked 17,981CR for tunes. I only needed 3,000 CR to get the achievement, after friends have helped me. It seems completely random as to how much you get!

For 5 days, I've been getting the message: "Freelance Status: In the last 24 hours your shared Tunings(Designs) were raced by the Community. With higher Community usage, your creations can earn you daily credit payouts!". No credits and therefore no achievement. First day I did 100 races on second profile and have increased the number of races to 500.
I'm all out of ideas and hoping there is someone here on TA that experienced this issue and figured out how to get around this problem.

@TrueWickedone

Technically, someone might have earned enough credits from their design being used many years ago but they've not played the game and opened the message since then

So if they started up FM5 now, there'd be a message from Turn10 saying they're been awared X credits for designs/tunes etc being used and the achievement would then pop

I did 325 drag races yesterday, and this morning all I got was "In the last 24 hours, your shared Design/Tunes were races by the community. With higher usage, your creations can earn you daily credit payouts"

No achievements and no money for them being used either, confused!

Confirmed working, as stated above payouts are weird; I might have miscounted my races by 5-10 each time.

Day (1) - 80 Races (10k Design / 3K Tune)

Day (2) - 140 Races (9K Design / 17K Tune)

Day (3) - 80 Races (10K Design / 3K Tune)

Day (4) - 80 Races (11K Design / 4K Tune)

Day (5) - 80 Races (11k Design / 4K Tune) <---- I had obtained all Design and only needed Tune on this day.

In total 49K Design Credit Payout & 31K Tune Payout over 5 Days!

This achievement is whack but I am glad Turn 10 patched it.

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue.

I wish I had better news for you, but unfortunately, we no longer actively support Legacy Forza titles. Limited support is still available for matchmaking and leaderboard services.

While I appreciate you taking the time out today to write in to Forza Support, we sadly are unable to take care of this request.

Thank you,

Here's what I did:

I saved a tune that I did nothing to for one of the starting cars, I then signed out and on a second profile downloaded the tune and did this:

Free play
Top gear west
Circuit race 1 lap
1 AI

I did 49 races, hitting restart at the end. 24 hours later I received 19cr on my profile unlocking the first two achievements.
So I repeated the process but only did 45 races and this morning received 14cr and unlocking the achievement.

So secondary account bang out 100 races using your tune should be just over 2 hours and in the morning you'll unlock all 3 tuning achievements.

Hope it helps, I found this to be the quickest way

TheSaucyGibbon adds some great tips/alternative solution. Thanks and credit goes to him for the following:

(This assumes that you have created your design and tune and have previously applied them to your boost account vehicle)

1. Switch off your Kinect sensor, it will try to recognise you and log you in on your normal profile.

2. Be sure that your normal profile is logged out.

3. Log in as your boosting profile.

4. Grab a pen and paper.

5. Start Forza, go to Free Play.

6. Select track : Top Gear / West Circuit

7. In Game Options, change max drivatars to 1, laps to 1. All else leave alone.

8. In Load Tuning Setup, search for then 'download and install' your tune again (just in case).

9. Start Race, track will load. Watch that loading thingy go round and around in circles for some time.

10. At Pre-race, start and FULLY RACE your first race. Sorry about the shouting there.

11. At Post-race, scroll across and select 'Restart'.

12. At Pre-race, select 'Start race'. While the race is loading, grab your pen and draw a short vertical line on your piece of paper. This is your record of having done one race.

13. As soon as you see 'GO', press your 'start button' to pause the game. Scroll all the way across and select 'Quit Race'.*

14. If you have 120 pen marks on your piece of paper, go to Step 15. If you have less than 120 pen marks, go to Step 12.

15. Congratulations, you can stop now until your next session tomorrow

So, here's my two-penneth to hopefully add a bit more clarity to the situation:

I mainly used the Start/Quit/Restart method in Free Play to rack up the "race count" as quickly as possible. It doesn't matter about any of the settings as each race only lasts a matter of seconds. I'd start the race, wait for the countdown, accelerate across the line (not even sure this bit is necessary, but it was the habit I got in to) then quit out. It's important to quit rather than restart at the first menu or the race doesn't count. I wasted an hour and 150 races experimenting with this! At the second menu restart rather than continue. This drastically reduces loading times.

Here's my payouts:

Day 1: 120 races - 11kish for designs, 4.2k for tuning
Day 2: 130 races - 11kish for designs, 4.5k for tuning
Day 3: 60 races and 60 complete drag races - 11kish for designs, 4.0k for tuning
Day 4 250 races - 12kish for designs, 21k for tuning

There are a couple of things to note here.

Firstly drags seem to make no difference. They take a hell of a lot longer, so I'd suggest not doing them (although if you are going for the multiplayer medals with a friend then its a good "two birds one stone...") I could do around 60 drags in an hour, and just about double that using the start/quit/restart method.

Secondly, for the last tuning "mega-payout" I got a different message. It said I was an Elite tuner rather than Professional. This makes me think that rather than it being a linear credits to race ratio it's more relative to the rest of the community. It's interesting that 250 race uses bumped me from Professional to Elite that day in tuning, but not for designs...

Lastly, and I'm sure this point been mentioned before, but it's worth reiterating, it's uses in a 24 hour period. The cut-off for me was somewhere between 11 and 12pm GMT.

Cool, hope this helps some people.

The one thing I wanted this week was a simple and concise method to get these achievements done. So here is my version of what's worked for me today:

(This assumes that you have created your design and tune and have previously applied them to your boost account vehicle)

1. Switch off your Kinect sensor, it will try to recognise you and log you in on your normal profile.

2. Be sure that your normal profile is logged out.

3. Log in as your boosting profile.

4. Grab a pen and paper.

5. Start Forza, go to Free Play.

6. Select track : Top Gear / West Circuit

7. In Game Options, change max drivatars to 1, laps to 1. All else leave alone.

8. In Load Tuning Setup, search for then 'download and install' your tune again (just in case).

9. Start Race, track will load. Watch that loading thingy go round and around in circles for some time.

10. At Pre-race, start and FULLY RACE your first race. Sorry about the shouting there.

11. At Post-race, scroll across and select 'Restart'.

12. At Pre-race, select 'Start race'. While the race is loading, grab your pen and draw a short vertical line on your piece of paper. This is your record of having done one race.

13. As soon as you see 'GO', press your 'start button' to pause the game. Scroll all the way across and select 'Quit Race'.*

14. If you have 120 pen marks on your piece of paper, go to Step 15. If you have less than 120 pen marks, go to Step 12.

15. Congratulations, you can stop now until your next session tomorrow.

* thank you Turn 10 for not allowing me to scroll to the left. It's the little things...

I did 122 (just in case) in 47 minutes, if anyone can beat this without falling asleep you're a bloody legend. Playing 'Eye of The Tiger' really loud on repeat helped keep me awake and motivated.

Hope this helps someone down the track (no pun intended). If this stops working again or if DEATHCODE wants me to delete this though please let me know.

Yeah, I tried to find info online because I kept getting the message about more use and I'll receive daily payouts, so thought 50 as a test to see what happens didn't want to do 200 and get nothing, also at the same time it was with a design but I got nothing for that at all

So I did 50 today and I received 12k on tunes only, design was still freelance. Right now I have 150 in total over 5 days of (20,30,30,20,50). So it's either a 50 race threshold or 100+ races to start earning.

FYI: Just finished designs, seems like minimum 120 races/day for it to count. Did 3 days in a row @121 races each day, with a default tuning with tire pressure changed, and a vinyl group I made and applied to both doors and the hood. Got freelance the first day for both designs and tunings. Got 19k for designs the next 2 days, but only 12k each day for tunings for whatever reason. At least you get payouts for fewer events for tunings, so should finish it tonight with another 50 races (I hope).

By Buckswana on 20 Dec 2013 03:05
I did just over 150 in a day and got 18k for designs and 11k for tunes. You don't have to actually do the full lap for it to count either. Just start the race, once the timer counts down and the race starts, select quit race and then restart and just repeat that. Each restart still counts as a use even if you didn't finish the race or even one lap.

I did what I did cause I couldn't face 100 plus races when I wanted to play on my profile, crystalbluecook i would do 50 races a day, you will get the achievement, the colour of money requires the 100 races in a day so if you are wanting to combine achievements do that, for me I had many trial and error but still only got freelance

The achievement pops when you reload the game after 7PM EST the next day. Make sure to quit and reload. I want to reiterate that in my testing the money is based ONLY on races ran, not on money won. I had my other profile do a full series of races one day and got 0 from it. I had it do 140 drag races the next (10 heats, 1/4 mile, private MP match vs CPU) and I got the achievements.

You need to do at least 100 races in one day, I suggest you to use the drag mile method with 10 heats, do it 10 times (10x10=100 races). It is the fast way, you don't need to press x after every race.

You don't have to post every 5 minutes dude. It doesn't make sense that you got design money for <100 races and you should have got tunes money as previous posts suggest a minimum of about 50 races to start earning. Are you sure about the number of races that you did and that the reward you got was for designs? I did 110 races with the restart method and only got ~5k for tunes which was less than I was expecting but better than nothing.

Hey all,

I'm getting really frustrated with this. I have been trying to get all the tuning and design awards using my sons gold account for three days. No joy, keep getting freelance notices. I think I've probably killed at least 5 hours with all different methods I've found here. Is it possible the latest patch somehow changed this? Can anyone confirm if any methods on this forum have worked wince the 433Mb update? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Quitting the race and restarting x150 worked for me well for design but with low tuning payouts. Note you have to actually quit the race and then click restart on the next menu option, you can't just hit restart from within the race over and over.

@Chrome I am in the same boat as you. I did some of the design and tuning boosting while going for the online medals with no issues, other than very low tuning payout. I just tried doing the quit, restart method yesterday with a second account with no payouts today. I did about 135-140 races and didn't get anything. I am thinking that it may be patched too. Has anyone had any luck with this recently.

Same problem here, just finished 200 races and logged on, nothing. Just a freelance message. Looking at the recent players for this achievement too... Nothing since 27th. Is this glitched now or "fixed"?

It is fixed for sure. I just got some credits for design and tune as well. I only got about 4k for tune though. How did you guys get so much? Did you change a lot of things? I only changed the tire pressure so that it would be free for my second account. Will I receive more credits if I change more things on the car?

@Vagrant, you can check the number of valid races done by checking the number of times your design has been used (from your own profile) before and after your session.

I have been using the exact same method as TheSaucyGibbon, except I use an Excel spread sheet to track my races. I'm wondering why the first night I got over 19 k for tuning and the two following nights only 3k. Caused me to have to do a 4th night of boosting.angry Anyway great site and great members, thanks to all.

Glad payouts are working again for everyone.

I've updated the solution, I'd like to thank everyone for all the info they've provided in the comments section. Its a boring grind this achievement especially if you don't want to become great at tunes and/or designs.

I really should go back and finish off this, 4 more manufacture's affinity needed and it's complete.

Finally got it! Something that might speed it up for the rest of you, When I was first doing this I was doing 120 races/restarts and getting 4k, By just doing another 80 in a day I got an elite usage for my tunes and 19k reward instead.

Just a heads up, if you have a second profile, you can be AFK overnight/work while your second profile does all the work. In the span of about 18 hours, my wife earned 110 medals, ranked 0 to 10 and got me some good credits. A little over 15k for tunes and 8k for paint. I used the Honda S2000 C class so this is a good option.

I have a question about this achievement.
Tomorrow I will boost the medals online with a friend in private matches, on Indianapolis oval with only 1 lap (we need also to raise the miles achievement, so we alternate to lead the group and win the race), If we select the same car and we prepare a tune setup, when we start i select his and my friend uses what I have prepared?

Hi, sorry been busy working a lot, drags were available when I did this, also with the multiple patches I don't know if turn 10 have altered anything, I would suggest 2 accounts 50 races per account and see what happens, this worked if things have changed the solution will need to be altered/removed if it does not work now, also maybe now you need to do some tuning for it to work also if you don't do this daily you get reset to freelance status which essentially means your back to square one

Well I just did the quit, restart, race method 75 times on each of two other accounts I have access to. I'll see at midnight gmt if it finally worked. Up until now I've done it all on one extra account 120-140 times with only freelance messages, two times with the rubber band drag trick, and once with the restart method. This will be my last attempt, interesting how it appears no one has unlocked this since the update, as stated to tight in recent winners. cry

Just checked the official forums; Even people who were "Legimate" Tuners I guess you could call them, are having the exact same problem; NOBODY is getting credits anymore for Designs or Tunes since the patch - They've all gone from "Elite" to "Freelancer" There hasn't been a response from Turn 10 but I think it would be safe to say that the patch has broken this.

I can't see this being a "Fix" because 2 hours work for 10k credits (which is 2 races) is definitely not on their list of "Exploiting the system" - I can't see this being a patch to stop people getting the achievement and more of a unexpected glitch.

I'll keep checking the forums and hopefully a response will crop up.

OK, great news (for me at least). My 2nd session with 122 races has netted me 10k for design and 3.5k for tuning, thus popping all the related achievements. Which is weird as 'Color of Money' requires 30k (I've only been paid a total of 20.3k for designs) and 'Artisan Tuner' requires 30k and I've been paid out a total of ~22k). Maybe the 'freelance' notifications I got last week actually paid me a small amount (I did three sessions of various methods). As my favourite Kazakhstani reporter says 'great success' dance

Since there is no storefront to offer tunes, there is a bit of confusion about how to earn money from them, and ultimately win the tuning achievements. For me, it was part luck, a small part skill (quite small, really), and a larger part how it's presented. Here's a few tips:

1) Make tunes, but don't mass produce. Ok, obvious, but more tunes means more ability for others to find them. Find a car that has access to multiple classes, and tune them to the top of those classes. Don't just save multiple random tunes and hope for the best, because bad tunes will not receive likes, and you as a tuner will be rated lower overall and show up less often in others' design recommendations.

2) Don't ever sacrifice quality. Mass production has a tendency to try to save as much time as possible in favor of pumping out lots of numbers. Don't fall into this trap, but instead try to tune your components to run optimally for a specific condition. For example, shorten the gearing and turn up the downforce on short tracks with lots of corners. You don't need high top end speed for a track that doesn't have a long straightaway. Likewise, do the opposite for longer tracks. Then, label your tunes in the descriptions and the keywords so that users know what they're getting.

3) Description is key. People are more likely to download and ultimately like a tune that meets a description, and also more likely not to like a tune that doesn't perform a function well, or doesn't do what the description states. The beauty of Forza is that a function specific setup will vastly outpace a car that is intended to perform well as an all 'rounder. An all-around tune is likely to perform poorly for all conditions by comparison, despite the intent to make it do well for everything. The most important words belong in the front of the description. Be clear about what the tune accomplishes in the first sentence because most people's attention span will only last a few words. You have a very short amount of time to get your message across. Protip: Set up SmartGlass
for Xbox One and use your PC to type out descriptions through the remote function.

An accumulation of likes will get your rating higher, which will help to get you noticed. The payments you receive, however, are based on usage in the past 24 hours. The more others use your tunes, the more you'll be paid. An accumulation of more than 30k credits will pop the achievement.

As far as my own tunes, they are on cars like the Ferrari 458 Italia -- It's a car that is relatively affordable early in the game, but can max out A, S, and R classes. That's three of the most popular racing classes, on a popular car where people are likely to seek better setups. Find those cars, spend time on their setup, benchmark them, test them, and then share the heck out of them!

Leave feedback for me in comments to help improve this solution if you think there's something that needs to be changed.

Its about usage, does not matter if you have 1 download and 1 like or a 1000 download and a 1000 likes, makes no difference.

I made 3 new accounts on my one yesterday, and raced my design and tune up 153 times on 1 lap races on the short top gear track.

After each race, after the xp screen select restart race instead of continue for faster loading times.

I was getting around 50 races a hour this way

At midnight that day I earned 21,000 for my designs and 16,000 for my tune ups

You don't need people to help you with this, just make a couple of accounts, they don't cost anything, and just bang 150 races a day. A couple of days and the achievements are yours.

Hi guys

If you want and if you play a lot online or championship, download some of my tunes.... I'm always in the top 500 in leaderboards!!!

Search for AAC Brutale as author... Downloading my tunes can also get you really easy win in the championship with Pro Drivatar

Thank you in advance

Payload -- Thank you, I've clarified my solution a bit to reflect your input a bit better.

Likes do matter, however, even if you're not paid for the number of likes you receive. Accumulation of likes gets your star rating higher, which follows in line with my advice in point three to help get you noticed. If you're not being noticed, or you are rated poorly, your tunes will show up less often in the recommendations, thus lowing the probability that your tunes will be used by the community.

FPS Death -- Yes, you get the credits immediately upon opening the message.

By Ruffnekk010 on 13 Mar 2014 06:00
I would like to get secondary confirmation of this, but it appears to be an accumulation of credits, not a one-shot earning of 30k. I have moderate numbers of likes on my tunes, certainly not stratospherically high numbers, and some days I earn more than others, some days I earn none, and I don't believe I've yet earned 30k or more on any one day.

It seems to be more about uses for a given day, instead of total uses or likes. I'll watch this more closely and see if I can get a better feel for the numbers.
