Artisan Archive

Hi folks,

just started an artisan, not cause a holocron told me too, but because I actually thought it would be interesting. None the less, I had a few questions, well one in particular, and was wondering if anyone would oblige me with a simple response.

The main questions I have are this..

A: You'd have to be a fool to not know where a krayt pearl came from, or for that matter a Rancor tooth.. My question is, how do you get some of these rare items to use them in weapon construction.. I know the Krayt pearls/scales are loot drops.. However, my question is are the Rancor teeth drops? Or do you need to be another class like Bio-engineer to harvest those...

B: Second question.. well more of a request, if you wouldn't mind taking the time. Anyone know any good loots to use on weapons. Other then Krayt parts, and rancor teeth, and the new cubes? from the Genoshan base..

C: lastly.. I also would like to know if any of the new schematics are actually better then the original ones.. Like the Feather Weight FWG5 schematic.. or the new sword core ones.. I mean, do they actually improve the outcome of the product? or just change the way a sword might look physically?

None the less.. Thank you for at least taking your time to reading this and replying the best you could.. I know there are a million posts on the board already, and you could call me lazy for not hiking through them. I figured I'd just ask the source and if not.. Well then dive into old posts..

Thanks again..

A) Slow down....you just started artisan, if you want to use high end loot in weapons you're going to have to master weaponsmith. Actually you wouldn't have to master it, but only a fool would waste using krayt tissue (or any other high end loot)in a non-master crafted weapon.

B) Weaponsmith takes a lot of money and resources to move through, check the FAQ in the weaponsmith forum. Expect to spend roughly 200-500k to buy harvesters power ect. to get started. Millions if you expect to buy the type of loots you listed in your question. People may bring them to you to put in weapons, but you're probably going to establish a name for yourself in weaponsmithing for this to happen.

C) Even after you master weaponsmith you will need a stockpile of quality resources. This takes about 3 months if you can't buy them because of resource shift and availability. What would be the point of using uber loot in a weapon if the rest of the components are only par or sub-par?
