Armorsmith Archive

I'm a very new master weaponsmith and i'm running into some problems. It seems that every weapon i can make, even with perfect expermentation just doesn't compare to what's out there.

For example:

Launcher Pistol:

As 3.5 - Min 38 - Max 176

I had to use regular components rather than advanced because i cannot find quadranium steel for a advanced projectile feeder, i can't find diatium copper for an advanced blaster power handler, and i cannot find plumbum iron for a advanced projectil pistol barrel..

How do they get their weapon stats so perfect? I've got to be missing a major piece of the puzzle somewhere. How do weaponsmiths get resources that are not avaliable? I've looked on the bazar, i've shouted around asking for them. I really need some assistance on this. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong.

I'm not a master WS but i have expert firearms and the entire techniques branch.

Unfortunatly i have no choice but to grind steal. But i found some awsome gas that makes decent power handlers, rare copper, rare steal, and even more rare quadranium steal that has decent stats. The best advice i can say to anyone that doesn't know what to look for is pick out the stuff that has the highest stats. Don't bother with the lower stats. Unless it's steal and your still grinding. Other than that you just wait until something comes up. Right now on lowca there isn't anything on naboo. You might wanna try exploring other planets but that gets expensive fast.

Consider yourself a novice until you can make better weapons and sell your stuff on the bazzar.

Weaponsmith is unblanaced and broken profession. Just gotta go with the flow until they realize it and fix it.

There have been a few spawns on Kettemoor in the past month. Though the all had very bad qualities. Good luck. I had to wait a month before any Beyrllius copper spawned after making master.

As for the fiberplast...There is always fiberplast on every planet. The only thing that changes is the quality.

I'm pretty sure I've seen some neut on sale a few places on Kettemoor (or own resource vendor included, and some is there as I write this). In fact, I have bought old shifts of neut steel in a variety of places in the last week or so, some of it even in the bazaar. Helps to know the names of the steel, search galaxy wide in the bazaar, and to be patient and persevering. At our vendor, we're selling the not as good neut steel because I co-opted the good stuff for my own armor crafting -and- I am always combing the resources vendors and bazaar looking for older shifts that were better. I don't wait until I am out of something to start looking for it.

Not every resource is available every cycle. Not every -good- version of a resource is available each shift.

Take a look at Crism. Last Crism on Kettemoor was over 90 days ago and the current one only showed up a few days ago and has really really really crappy stats. I made master a bit over a month ago and could not make stun layers until now because I did not have a Crism. There is currently no Vertex gem, but I mined 2 different ones when they were available about a month ago. Not perfect stun layers *sigh*, but I will augment with the other resources as much as I can.

None of the crafting professions is easy and it only gets harder as the resources get more specific.

Oh, our resource vendor is in Temenos Island on Naboo, near the shuttleport.
