I charge 250K for that sets and sells real quick, I can't understand why people buy 450K a set of the same stuff
but yeah it is hard as hell the work we do, and sometimes I whish I could make a lot more money.

125 k per set. And no I dont care about credits as long as I have enough to work with, and no I dont have to have my vendors stocked at all times and no I dont care what you sell for.

I don't care what other smiths on my server charge. I will admit curiousity at times, but I am not in a bidding war. I did take a bit from a priceing discussion here, once, and charge mostly based on the number of segments in a piece. I know there are armorsmiths who charge more on my server. I don't think there are many who charge less. I have ROI sheets for some of the armors and I do let composite sales "supplement" the other armors. I only charge the prices I do now (for the ROI on composite) to fund tapes and later to fund special projects. I'm in a guild with hunters so my organics costs can be a little lower. I am also willing to work out trades and deals with hunters and others.
Composite No stun:
2 layer (80% energy or kinetic, lower HAM) = 250K
3 layer (80% energy or kinetic, 78-79% energy or kinetic, 65% base... currently.. or any other 3 layer config) = 275K
Composite stun:
# of stun layers x number of segments in the piece x 2.5K + standard 3 layer price (rounded)
2 layer energy or kinetic with 1 layer stun = 300K
3 layer stun = 400K
I might lower my prices when I have my tapes. What good is a pixel wealth?

Hello fellow ArmorSmiths, im Lazereth Jones on Flurry. I recently mastered AS about 3 days ago. I thought i was going to drop it because of all the work needed to make decent Armor plus at the time i was grinding AS because of, yup you guessed it? HOLO GRINDING!!. Well since I achieved my new title I have decided to keep it and become the best at it. I'm happy to say that im doing pretty good. I've alrdy accomplished composite gloves with 80% kinetic and 67% base. With much thanks to Sadatay who helped me make some nice looking gloves. Oh come on don't be mad the secret is not out.
Any how my intake on this whole entire Armor war is this. You are worth what you price your stuff at. If you feel that u can sell your product for what you price it at then great. As long as your happy and the customer is happy then everyone is happy. Now I know what you guys are thinking but listen, if the customer buys a set of armor at an amazing high price then who's fault was it to not shop around. Not the AS fault by far. In RL this is the exact case. If you go to store X and buy a shirt and later find out that the exact shirt was much cheaper at storeZ then the customer is at fault for not shopping around. It's not the AS's job to tell the customer "Oh mr. Doe pleasedon't buy my product, just go down to store X and they will sell you the same shirt at half the price".
The point is that we all have a universal power which is called FREE WILL. If you feel that you should get what you deserve truthfully without guilt then all power to you. If you are selling your stuff at dirt cheap prices then guess what that person has all the power to do so. It's called BUSINESS. Don't burden yourself with desperate plee's and recommendation. Their is plenty of customers to go around. Everyone can make credit if your smart. Don't be an idiot. Take control of yourself and most of all have fun. Now of course take to account of your competiton. But don't irrationalize the situation instead make your adjustments and work with it.instead of against it. Remember, markets change and so do people. That is always gauranteed. And if your competition is over riding your business then he should b commended for his smart business tactics. People it's about being smart not dumb. You know you limits and what your capable of. So use what god gave you or at least 1% of it, haha.
In conclusion, dam it this is a game so have fun and enjoy this cause rememberSWG is just a game.
Those devs have our 15 bucks alrdy so don't let them have our joy too. End this Armor War!!! and keep on truckin.
