hey there armor smiths.


just curious here but, what's up with the price on faction armors? somehow I just can't see the cost of you guys making the armor getting anywhere close to 1.5million credits...



maby I'm wrong *shrug* so I'm asking, how much does it cost you to make a set of faction armor, any type of it

Try the cost of FP bro, we have to buy the Schematics for Factional armor from recruiters......Not like the full set of armor for a low ammount of FP.......


for a Master Smuggler (Imp and Human) Master Armorsmith it costs like 2000 FP (or 2.5 not sure at this moment) then thats 1000 FP for everything else but boots/gloves (i could be mistaking, as it has been a little while now since i bought schems since im just making the armor now with the cores done) ...........


Then If you are a Master Smuggler, Buying the FP cost like 100k for 1250 FP.......and thats where it gets pricey.....but thats if YOUR the smuggler, if u get someone else to buy it, its gonna cost you more/...............



Anyone else, please correct my mistakes as im sure i made some

It's 3k FP for bracers/helm/pants and 6k for chests, 750? or 700 for boots/gloves/belt EXCEPT for Shock Belts which are 3k as well fkin /grumble on a Imp totally controlled planet IE 300Imp VS 0Reb as a Non-Human AS.

26k ish in FP ALONE or is you like 2.6mill per set of 10 suits

Other modifiers...

I hate making armour now +500k
I'm 1 of very few stocking it +500k
The armour has high novelty value as it's new and "cool" +500k
Most of my PreCU stuff is borked +500k
Resources costs +200k
I have to hand craft it! +500k

Rounded DOWN to 3mill a set because you're still going to buy it, I know you will, because your friends are.
See now.. I'm actually giving you a 500k discount! Now be gone lest I decide to raise prices.

On the bright side you can buy as many faction belts as you like..I've made several full factory runs of those, as Sony missed taking out the "Create Schematic" button, the belts are cheap...50k

You can't handle the truth!

Cost of end product is never really based on cost of the res going into it. They only set the lowest possible price. What all people really charge for is the work they do and for faction armor there is a lot of extra work so the cost will reflect that. But still everyone isn't charging 1-2mil, I charge 300k for my unlayered faction suits but I only pay 60k per suit for the fp needed.
