<snicker> I am very close to telling people that I do not make black armor anymore

I've been at thisfor a while now, so my perspective on the amount of time I want to spend doing combines is a bit different than yours. I used to love logging in and crafting out custom suits for people for hours upon end. Fast-forward a year and a half, and I like making a few high end enhanced suits a week and maybe a few other non-enhanced as favors for friends, and then spending my game time doing other things. Like all things, it ebbs and flows. There are weeks where I craft a lot more and weeks where I just log in and chat.

Wrong place!!!! My bad! I thought I was in my trade forum...is there any way to move this over? I don't want to re-type it!

Just copy it (ctrl-c by default) and paste (ctrl-v)it into a new message in your trade forum Then come back here and use edit to delete it all

Well, I got it transferred over...thanks....since it's here...don't bother with the price check, but would you advertise this any different? I am still relatively unknown on my server so this is kind of like my break out post!

You will porbably get flooded with way more orders than you can handle. If you advertise before you have subcomponents made, you will find the orders piling up as you wait for those factories to churn out components. This is fine up to 10 or so orders, but once you have a back log of 20+, it gets ugly

Anyway, I'd recommend nosing around and seeing what others charge if you care about their prices, or just deciding on a bulk cpu value that takes into account your resource cost, factory/harvestor expenses, and a premium for your own time and expertise. Keep in mind that a fully-layered suit uses around 15,000 resources total. I charge about 150-175 cpu or so with some tweaking dependiing on the amount of certain extremely high value resources used, waste (especially enhanced suits), and the amount of time i have spend doing combines or running back and forth to factories (also especially enhanced suits).

There have been quite a few posts asking for 8000 plus armor that no AS on Bloodfin has answered. I thought I would do this, stir up some action and awareness until the subcomponents are done and then hold an auction based off the feed back of this post. I hope to get through to them that there will only be a few as I think I have the last 100k of the great alantium on the planet!

Lol! It's been what? 15 minutes...and I'm already getting PM's like crazy! Oh well, I guess it's too late! I am trying my best to let them know that there is a limit to these suits and I have a lot of other lesser layers all ready to go, so I can appease some of them with that, but, hey! I got to start somewhere!

Just don't burn yourself out on custom orders ... I did that way back in the day, and it took a long time to get the gumption to do them again.

it's all I have been doing for the first three months and I honestly love it! (I usually stand in a traffic area and make sets on the spot for people). But I'll heed your warning. With stats like this though and the price offers I am getting, I can't help but think they should get whatever kind and color they want! (With that said, it's been almost completely requests for all black ubese. /shrug).
