Here's one I thought was pretty mean. LOL


Dude: Can you make me some armor?

Me: Sure, what do you want?

Dude: The best of the best you can make.

Me: Umm, ok... what type? I'll give you a quote.

Dude: Battle.


(Me thinks *Ooooohhh, now let's have some fun...*)


Me: Ok, I can make yousome of the best armor on the server for50M.

Dude: Did you say 50 million or did you mean 50K?

Me: I meant 50 million.

Dude: Are you crazy?

Me: Hey,you asked for the best of the best. That's my price for the best I can make now. If you wanted "the absolutebest", It'll cost you 10M more. Either that, or you can bring me10 x30K resource deeds in exchange for a full set.


(A few minutes later...)


Me:If you wanted normal Unlayered stuff, I sell it for 300K a suit.

Dude: Umm, I think the normal stuff will do. I'm kinda broke now.

Me: OK, here's my WP.

Dude: Can I get a discount?


I didn't reply.




Gotta love+350 Health RIS!!!


The dude never came to buy the armor though... LOL

I like to use one of my favorite Norm (from cheers) quotes in these situations. The original quote goes something like this:


Woody: Can I pour you a beer Norm?

Norm: It's a little early isn't it?

Woody: For a beer?

Norm: No, for a stupid question.


just replace beer with armor, and you're all set

How about the people who contact you asking to buy their old used armor.


Customer: Hey. I have some armor here, almost brand new. Wanna buy it?

Me: I have no use for damaged armor.

Customer: But you can sell it. Make money off it.

Me: No, I can't. Especially off someone elses armor.

Customer: You could always say you made it.

Me: ...No, I can't. There's a tag if you examine it that says who made it.

Customer: Well you can just say you made it anyway, cmon. Wanna buy it? It's good ((Of course meaning poorer than anything I can make)).

Me: I do not sell used armor. I am not a junk shop.

Customer: If you bought it would I get a discount or something?

Me: But I'm not going to buy it so that's a pretty mute point.

Customer: Yeah but you know, if you did?

Me: But I'm not going to...

*Pause*

Customer: So are you gonna buy it from me?

Me: ...Guess... No, I'm not going to buy armor that was not made by me, is damaged, unsellable, and would ruin my reputation.

Customer: Why?


So at this point you're thinking, "GOD! Put an IQ test inas a prequisite for mutliplayer games!"


Me: See above.


And that keep going untill he finally gets that you won't buy it from him, and then he's all disspointed. Gee, I feel bad for him...





LOL you should of said you would buy if from him for 1 credit for the suit.

haha, I've had to deal with this stuff daily... and laugh reading all these posts... being a WS/AS... its never boring... a few of my faves (for intrests of space and time m= me, c=customer)


"c: are you an armoursmith


m: yes


c: can you make me xxx?


m: sure,


c: what will be the stats if you use the good resources?


m: I'm sorry, I only make bad armour,


c: seriously? wow, you suck?


m: /addignore"


Assuming that I somehow dont always use the best of everything i have available to me for everything i craft is irritating. The other one that always gets me a great laugh is when someone places a custom order, i give them the prices, they say XXX can make better for cheaper, i tell them to get the stoff from them then... and a few hours later, the person is buying similar to their special order off my vendors.


Sure those all got covered above. but yeah, those are what make my days.

Heh - love these moments.



Customer: Hi do you make armor?


Me: Yes. (At this point, I'm fearing the next 5 minutes of conversation, and am possibly having a seizure as a result)


Customer: Do you have any free beginner sets sitting around that I could have?


Me: No, I typically only make advanced armor at this point. (I know what's coming next)


Customer: Oh ok, do you have any of those sets that I can have?


Me: Yes, on my vendor. (Email sent for WP)


Customer: LOL, I meant ones I can HAVE.


Me: I assume you're meaning "free?" (Here we go)


Customer: LOL yes.


Me: LOL no.


Customer: Well how about cheap sets?


Me: As I've said before, I only make advanced armor, making the beginner set takes time and resources I don't want to use for those purposes. (I smell an ignore)


Customer: Whats the cost?


Me: 140K per suit.


Customer: Thats too expensive to charge LOL!


Me: LOL! You are ignored. (/addignore)


I love being a crafter.

on a sidenote, if you had your AS tag up before they changed it where you lost title when you lost skill, you can keep tag. I have MAS tag up with my main toon although he hasn't been a AS for almost a year. People always ask how I can be CL 80 and MAS

I love thoser threads(no i'm not a crafter) but please remember, CAN you make armor also means do you have time to do so (for special order) and for me it's a simple way to start the conversation, so, HOW shall we start a conversation with you?
