How much does an armorsmith make everyday on average? I try to make 1mil every day doing missions on dant, and I'm a BH.

question on how to grind your character and resources are found in the FAQ at the top in a guide to armorsmithing. Look there for your questions.
The question in terms of which makes money the fastest? Any combat profession, especially swords. Go do janta missions with master swords, and you can have a lot of money very very fast. Very little work, you dont have to resource, run factories, etc.
You do armorsmithing because its FUN. And to challenge yourself to always make the best you can, at fair prices for everyone. If you're going for a moneymaker, to set you up for 500 mil etc, then you are getting into this all wrong.

After working hard at armorsmithing for a good 6 months, collecting the best resources you can find, reinvesting every penny you actually make in better resources and skill tapes, you may begin making decent money as an armorsmith.

I suppose its possible to make more money in a crafting proffession than a combat one, but really, in order to do it well (in order to sell your merchandise at premium prices) you're going to have to spend a fair amount of time collecting a lot of different resources. If you've been collecting all along or if your guild is real strong and they can just hand over all the high quality stuff you're gonna need to make 80 special 69 base comp (which is pretty decent) to you then it will just cost you the time to grind out master armorsmith. This wasn't the case for me. I had to mine the bulk of my resources myself and, in order to make 80 79 68 comp I needed to buy some resources that just haven't spawned on my server in while.
To check everything you'll need to make the armor you'll want and its current availability check out swgcraft.com
If you do go the armorsmith route you'll be spending a lot of time there.

yes, it is if you're competitive at it (ie: +20 exp, vast resource collection). However it's also the most expensive to become competitive at

The more friends you have, the more money you make. For me wookie armor is 100% profitable since I pay absolutely nothing for the resources I am supplied with.

I made 2 times more money with selling buffpacks than making armor... was also less time consuming to make
Buffpacks sold like 35-40mil a week and armors do sell 15-20mil a week.... but armorsmith Im not to long still getting more costumers every day\
looking to profit Docter makes 40% profit and AS makes 150-300% profit depending on what Armor

I can gross 30mil in a week... but only because I spend 20-50mil a week in resources.... thus the net profit is about 10mil a week, if I'm lucky and have the right armor available at the right time after about 60+ hours a week crafting. I only started making that about 7 months after I mastered and nearly 2 months after I got my 20 points in tapes.
I will admit, I've stopped looking at how much resources cost and simply look at the stats and buy it if it fits.

Yes.
You must be good. Location, location, location helps. You must have a clue when it comes to marketing yourself.
Whatever number of suits I make in a week, I sell. I've sold as many as 400 suits in a week. You do the math.

Or you can make 5mil a day farming meatlumps and selling adhesives.
I've made over 150mil off them so far. Don't you just love when the devs add something so rare to the game and then let meatlumps drop it. Lol
