Artisan Archive

hi, im not a crafter but i run a shop supplying resources for lightsabers to the jedi of my server, i also like eto keep in stock as many items as poss that i can sell to jedi...eg holocrons, crafting foods, bio cloths etc

the next line i want to add to my range is disposable swoops, ive heard loads of jedi saying they loose loads of them to bh and also fs grinders loose plenty to the nightsisters.

with this in mind i did a little research and know i need ferrous and non-ferrous metals and that the sr inreaces the %age of the swoop.

my questions are:

1)if i ask an artisan to make me a schematic, willi be able to set a factory run up or will the artisan need to do that for me?

2) what sort of factory will i need

3)%age isnt really that important to me as im marketing these as disposable therefor i was planning on mining what ever metals i can get my hands on for the crafting.....if i use even the worst metals is there a lowest %age poss or is it poss to make swoops with like 100 cond ? im sure i read somwhere that 1500/1500 was the lowest, can some one confirm plz.

4) what quantity of ferrous and none ferous will i need?

thanks for your help

1) You will need the schematic the artisan makes and the exact resources used to make it. If you have those, you can do the factory production yourself.

2) Equipment factory.

3) If you just want disposable swoops, any material will be fine. I'd recommend using smelted metals from a recycler because you will always be able to get more of the same material for the schematic.

4) 1600 non-ferrous and 6400 ferrous (if I remember correctly). It must all be the same material to make a factory run. In other words, you'll need 1,600,000 of the non-ferrous and 6,400,000 of the ferrous (plus enough to make the schematic) to be able to make a full run of 1000 swoops.

As you are a merchant id say your better off just buying them in bulk from artisan that wants you to resell

1, smelted ones would be pretty bad HP wise.. Definatly NOT an item smelted resources are used for.. besides those things are soo frigging expensive you would have to sell 100's just to make your money back.. rediculously over priced thing that to anyone that has enough cash can just detroy what resources are small and get new.. what big time crafter cant run 1k of something?? i dont know many.. besides the couple rare instances.. smelters are a total waste..

2, aritsan makes a bit of cash.. they need love ya know.

3, factories are a bit to run.. and unless its a storage house too.. which now with house item increase they are a more expensive way to store things.

4, if you really want to do the mining.. im sure a master will run ya what ever you want.. for a small fee, providing you supply the resources : )
