Thread: K this has stopped being fun....
I'm not the only one making faction armor on my server, but I'm the cheapest that I know of. I'm doing Stormie stuff at about 650k/set (excluding belts). The only other person I know of that's doing the Imp stuff has his retail up around $3 mil.
If you feel like you are doing too much, raise your prices. Personally, I think you are selling too cheap and people are going to buy you out all the time. Yes the money is great, but your sanity is going to take a big hit.
This same thing happened to me when I first started AS. There were a total of 3 MAS on the server when I became master, a buch just left the game and others were in retirement because of the holo craze that hit. I was making so much armor, I was literlly playing for 8 hours a day and get very little sleep. It felt like a second job. So, I backed off, made armor at my own pace and only sold on a vendor. If anyone wanted anything, they would have to check the vendor. My life became so much easier and I loved to play again. Remeber, it's your game too and you get to decide how to play, not everyone else. You can't please everyone.

True very true, think I'll finsih out the preorders then no more, once thats done raise price to slow things up a bit. You hting 750k is still to cheap tho? Think I should just go 1 mil per suit?
*cough*

Yeah...last night reminded me of my early days where I handcrafted everything. I was in /tell hell once someone walk in theed with the marauder armor I made him. I jumped into factory crafting composite so I didn't feel like all i did was craft. We'll see how this goes, but I feel like I'll have to raise some prices to slow down the requests. Hopefully burnout is not around the corner.

Frankly, I'd be charging 2 mil per suit...just like u said making armor by hand is tedious work anymore(who likes experimenting on condition?). Plus faction armor is the new RIS, that looks so much better...at least rebel does. By the way, Im working on getting rebel faction...once I attain it what do schematics cost in FP and can I buy FP's from smuggler's.
Thanks for any info...
Nelorr 15 pt Master Armorsmith.
New Alliance Republic, Correlia, Eclipse.
Imp Controlled planets its 3000 to 6000 FP depending ont he pieces and boots/gloves are 750. Wish there was still a rebel controlled planet around to get these from in Tempest

The best price I saw for Imperial armor was about 15k in FP. On Rebel controlled planets it was upwards of 25k.
