I will probably just specialise in Advanced Armour.


The stuff I am able to make now (unlayered) is:


Assault - 6360 Kin, 4360 Ene, 5360 Base

Battle - 5303 to All

Recon - 6369 Ene, 4369 Kin, 5369 Base



My preliminary pricing for unlayered suggests something along the lines of 250-300k


Layered tho is a much different story, costs are almost doubled for the Advanced Layers and a little less for the normal Layers. I suspect if I do make Layered Armour it will be very limited, but not sure 400-500k for a suit considering the difference will be worth it.

Selling old suits of converted Ubese 1xxx something for 64k. Probably to people that can't even wear it but don't know it til after purchase.

Converted Kash Ceremonial for 53k. Same prices as before as I haven't made anything w/ the new resources yet.

Planning on putting together a spreadsheet to calculate prices once I get my hands on a second box. Too hard to do it by Alt-Tabbing.

Put a suit of comp up for sale at 90k today. Didn't have much choice. It wasn't too bad until I removed it from a create, then all the stats were halved... won't be doing that again too soon in the hopes they fix it.

Heyas all. I'm bored at work, not much to do, and was curious what people are charging per suit. With the increased costs involved with named resources/heavy organics, I'm trying to find a medium that I can offer for my suits, and was wondering what some of the other Armorsmiths are charging for theirs. Thanks in advance for any advice/answers you may have!

Won't be making armor for a while - too much stuff to learn..... and too many resources to get. With the bazaar not fuctioning until people reload their vendors - it could be a while.

I think I am going to move all my converted armor to the bazzar. Or just dump at low prices on a fire sale vendor. I dont like trying to sale stuff I have not logicaly thought out. I need to take stock of what resorces I have and what I need. I am a small fish on radient. I want to see what the big guys do.

Wow you guys are cheap LOL
But then again I have always been pricy always will, got to seperate from the newer crafters or they wont have a chance


I sold Ubese for 200k per suit
80% kinetic padded for 450k
comp for 400-600k a suit before the CU.


I plan on makeing only ADV. armors, more then likely quad layerd (but Im a big dog and have the resources to do that)
Quite possible will be selling a few of the top top of the line suits for a mill, but Im still testing atm and Im not even sure I'll even bother with AS anymore and just sell off my stuff, pfft I have hit a bill 3 times now since launch, 2 accounts are... well set I would say, but I sell so much armor per month (average 3-400 suits of comp per month) that there are alot of people who depend on me and alot of hunters with good jobs from me, thats turning alot of people away and well as for hunters, they could gather for someone else but I always treated my personal hunters much better then any other smith (free stuff as well as more payout)


I'm sure other smiths will be great priced like you all, and some like me
But so far my quad layered (Primus layerd) Battle is hitting just under 7000 (6788 to be correct) And I dont know anyone else on the server hitting that on regular armor (RIS thats easy)


I just really hate the new crafting system... no brainer put points here and your done... no thought or skill required /sigh We always got the good ol days to remember haha

And we ws have now got your advanced experimentation from before CU . Lot of tinkering playing around with different stats. Much fun!


Your experimentation now is what it was for ws before. Max damage then put the reminder in accuracy or condition.


But don't you think that the market will be different now. Since there is a diminishing returns on actual resists it might not be worth to use the best possible resources. I really believe that cheap suits for the masses might be a good business idea. if I was not already swamped with crafting, I would move into that.

Im trying advanced with all energy layers, all primus layers, and one with all kin layers. Doin all the imp faction armors so hopefully ill know my final stats tonight and we can compare. Testing to see if we can cap any of the stats with the Intrepid resources.


Im charging no less than 1 mil per suit on these faction ones since these take a LOT of time to hand craft and with the factory times your are really restricted on how many suits you can make.

I couldn't agree more about the cheap suits. I think I'll be doing basic and the step up from that for suits, save advanced for custom orders, as I also feel the CU will cut down the amount of credits everyone has. Affording our advanced suits in time will cost alot for customers in time. I was gonna log on last night to test it out, and see what resources I had to work with, as I'm not really a 'Big Dog' (and I've been an armorsmith since launch, figure that out!) and see what comes of it.


Thanks to all that responded! Gave me a good starting point!
