Hi I'm new to the crafting scene just started a character and I'm working my way to MWS. I see 12pts WS/AS advertised on vendors and such . I realize this refers to the amout of pts availiable to experimentation but I was just wondering how you become a 12pt smith or if it is still possible..ie was removed from the game etc. Also how important is it to be a 12pt smith, could a 10pt smith hope to compete in the market? Any info would be welcome. Thanks in advance for your time

hi son
B welcome in the WS familly
If u want more experimentation pts, u have to buy some Clothing Attachment (CA), rare and expensive.
CA Weapon experimention +20 pts = 2 pt in the craft
so u will a WS +12 (10 for the master and 2 with the CA)
U can craft good weapons without that, the most important thing is to have good ressource.
have fun

To get 12 experimentation points you'll need to get +20 additional points in Weapon Experimentation.
You can get these extra points two ways, either by getting your hands on Clothing Attachments (tapes) or clothing with with mod's on them. These arelooted items, so be prepared to spend a lot of credits to buy them, or a lot of time if you want to loot them yourself.
You can also pick up the Weaponsmith Toolkit, which is aplayer crafted item that has +3 to Weapon Experimentation,it's crafted by Tailors(it also has +5 to Weapon Assembly and +5 to Weapon Repair).
You can usually pick one of these up fairly cheap, though it's one drawback is that it takes the place of a backpack.
As far as competeting, resources are the most important factor for making high quality weapons. Having those extra points certainly helps out, but it's not mandatory to be able to stay in business.
Focus on getting the best resources possible for now, you'll pick up those extra experimentation points over time.
Good luck.

Ive been a 10pt for a long time and I would have to say a 10pt can definatley complete. Maybe it takes a little more work to keep up with the 12pt but it can be done.
Like other people have said resources are always more important than 10pt or 12pt, focus on gather all resources first.

Before the CU a 10 point smith could compete very easily with a 12 point smith as long as he had as good of resources. Now, resources are still the most important factor, but experementation on weapons has been split up. Speed, and damage are now seperate, and people actually look at action costs now. A 12 point smith can get a total of up to 10 extra experimentation points to play with these stats on some weapons with the subcomponents. In these cases a 12 point using the same resources as a 10 point can make a much better weapon now.

Before CU a 12 pt would usually just put the extra 2 points into condition or it helped recover from moderates. Now post-CU condition is no longer experimented and the damage/speed line has been split as well as an elemental line added to the appropriate weapons. This means that with the same resources a 12pt will be able to make a better weapon than a 10pt.
10pt smith can still compete, especially with the lower end weapons which cap fairly easily.

you need +20 in Structure Expermentation tapes. (10 points for 1 extra expermentation point, for a total of 12 points, or 120 expermentation skill mods.)
