Has anyone figured out how much they will likely sell top-end Wookiee armor for? Or even what it's going to cost to get all the resources? I need to know how much money I need to start saving up.

Around 300k per set
But I'll also make tweaked pieces (krayt janta etc)

Assuming a suit will consists of bracers, chest plate and leggings, I will stay in line with my prices for other armor and probably charge between 30 and 50 k for a suit depending on the final stats.


How much it will cost to get all the resources depends on whether you have your own harvesters, are capable of collecting your own hides, or have to buy everything. I am afraid prices for even sucky yavinian leathery will go sky-high.

For Me I am looking at charging a price that is fair and reasonable but still providing me with a profit... Considering I am a wookiee armorsmith, I am not going to strangle hold my fellow wookiees..


But considering they amount of Hides that goes into this armor... we are probably looking at least 110 to 140k a suit for me... just because of the hide usage..


Paying 300k for our Ubese armor is a Joke.... Even if you are a 12 point or 10pt master...

I've tallied up the materials I have and the materials I've bought in preparation (I'm only making about 4 suits, as I'm busy working on making a few final runs of other armor before I retire from the profession in another 2 weeks), and depending on whether or not I can get the stuff for advanced segments, I'll be most likely selling mine for around 55k-75k a set.

If I did my math correctly,a suit will take 433 hides and 625 other resources. Even if you charge 50 cpu for hides and 30 cpu for other resources (which is a lot in my opinion), a suit would cost around 40 k. An armorsmith that harvests his own resources (except hides) can even make a suit for say 25 k. But I guess many will call it a matter of supply and demand and prices will be a lot higher.

true..


but as normal on the first day of a new content Item like that you should expect a mark up or your going to be doing nothing that day but making armor by hand at 40k a suit..


a better price is around 80 to 100k a suit... I am also considering the Prices I will have to pay to find me a Talior who is willing to sit down and make the Armor Padding componet for me as a schematic...


But after the first few days of this stuff being live... my prices will probably drop to some thing more like 40 to 60k a suit...


And did you know... that wookiees who have been around for a long time tend to have thea good amount of money in the game... Its due to the fact we did not have a regular source of a money sink like armor until now... I know I am that way... Considering I made a lot of money and never really spent it on any thing other than a splurge on a Kryat gun or some cool toy to play with...

heres another thought i'm going to throw in here, i've read some post that people were unsure if one piece of armor covers two areas, for instance its been said that the chest plate may also covers the head area, as the HAM of the chest piece would also suggest this, dont forget this one piece of armor is doing the protection of two normals pieces, and prices should reflect this...


if someone was buying a ubese chest piece from you for say 20k you wouldnt throw in a free helmet would you...


also the bracers might cover the hands and the arms, however again i do not know if it actually does or if its just a 'cool look' they wanted to add in to the armor suit, clarification is always welcomed...

Wow, your a dink!


I thought COTW was supposed to help and support their fellow wookiee, not screw them over.

Do you price your PSGs using that criteria too?

Don't forget, if these pieces cover multiple body parts, they will also decay that much faster.
