You can't get speed AND damage on a coupler. You NEVER could. If you thought you did, well you're wrong.

I think you're high. I've made lots of couplers with both. I've been making those since I was a newbie so it doesn't even require a great deal of skill. Before they had those cute modified numbers on the "examine" screen, you can just look at the numbers change as you add the coupler to the gun. And the change is quite evident when you start firing the gun.

Heheh imagine a CDEF with 35-85 damage and 2.1 speed. heheh I was a rockin n00b. <rolls eyes>

"I think you're high. I've made lots of couplers with both."

And I think you're thinking of a grip.

Tell me if you would, what is the name of this mythical coupler?

Unless couplers are different from server to server, which I highly doubt, I don't believe you.

Im afraid he is right. I've been specializing in couplers ever since day one. You have never been able to get speed as a secondary stat on a coupler......EVER.

As he said...you are thinking of a grip.....which the picture looks just like a coupler. Its an easy mistake to make, I made it myself when i was new.

And to answer the question about price. I never sell them by the crate. I pull them out of the crates and put em on the vendor for 450 each. I only make two types of powerups. Grip 32.5% speed, 16% min dmg. AND Muzzle 32.5% max dmg, 16% min dmg.

They sell like hotcakes because fortunately on kettermore, I have never seen a powerup more than 31% primary. and whenever I see a 30% or above go for less than 400, I QUICKLY send an email to that person and get him to up the price. So far the market holds stable around 400........

Read my post on the Bloodfin board,Ive made lots of new powerups.

Ok after playing around some more i got some more 4 stat powerups..

OhImon Bloodfin if you missed it.

Vermiform, that's the exact same powerups that i'm selling. They are selling the best right now.

Ya, the prices vary a lot from planet to planet alone... who knows how different it is from server to server. In anycase, I sell hot-wired, quick-charge, & short-circuit couplers for 375. I sell Tuned muzzles of Sighting for 500 each (Everything on the bazaar.) I sell a 10 create of hot-wired couplers for 3000 each. This is on Kauri / Coronet. The funny thing is that we have like 7 or 8 artisans making high quality powerups and selling them all in the same darn city! lol

There is a parcticular crafter here selling the powerups for 200 each! Another for 280! But there is also plenty who are selling above my prices, i.e. 500 for hot-wireds and such... There is even one crazy fool who is selling the same quality ones for 1000 credits each (I don't know if he gets any sells.)

But as soon as I turn on the galaxy filter, in the bazaar, and take a look at the other planets, I can see they are suffering a shortage of powerups, let along good powerups. It seems that Corellia/Coronet has become the center of our galaxy to go for good powerups. Although Naboo in our server does have many powerups, they are all of crappy quality. Which gives me the idea, I should expand to there

In the end however, I think that pricing high-quality powerups for 100 or less credits is insane. Why should we sell powerups at near cost of production? Powerups are in demand and the players who want them CAN afford it. These are combat players, making 10k per mission. 500 credits is nothing to them. Pricing powerups at less than 100 credits is like selling them for pennies.

Mad Hatter

That's fair pricing, I have been selling crates for 3000 and usually 250cr or 350cr perpowerupon the bazaar. I sell the less popular ones for 250.

Again, anyone looking for powerups, my vendor has over 100 of all types on there. There are also about 15 cratesand I will be adding more tonight. All are +32 +16.

I sell my 31%speed and 15%min dmg for 3k a crate

I was looking thru my data pad yesterday and I found a Speed + Max dmg couple schematic I made

Im at school now so I'll get you the name when I get home.

This was made before the big patch.

Holy smokes,I guess I got it good. I have been making +30/15 couplers and selling them on the bazaar for 650 each, and seriously, I can't make them fast enough. Some other yahoo is selling +32/16 on the same bazaar for 999 each and he is selling them. I'll sit there, craft about 10, put them on the bazaar, and then before I make ten more, quite often the ten I just put up are gone. Unforunately I can't be on all the time, and it gets extremely tedious making them by hand. Also, I think with the fixes the market will flood any day now ruining my little biz. Perhaps its factory time.....

I have not been able to make the 31/15 dmg muzzles ... anyone else? I have made max/min damage muzzles but they always fail and turn out like 22/16.

Anyone else?

Thanks,

Check the OQ of your materials.

I've been pumping out 32/16 95% powerups alot. I use 980 OQ chems and 940 Minerals. I sell them for 1000 credits. Is that expensive? Probably, but I always sell out at that price so I am sticking to it. I usually make about 20 in half an hour of various kinds. I haven't seen a speed/damage one yet but I get some great combo's like wound/speed or point blank attack bonus/Max Damage.

The Key to powerups is knowing the carious weapon types. Different power ups are good for different weapons.
