I can't decide what to do Weaponsmith, Architect or Droidengineer. I was first thinking of going Weaponsmith but I am not sure. There seems to be many WS around.

Weaponsmith is great if you're a master. On my server there are about15 or even more masters. As far as competing with all of them it's a joke. Those guys (and gals) make uber weapons that people will pay full price for before even paying 90% markdown on the ones a novice makes. I tried this route and it was unrewarding and unforgiving.

This might not be the case on all servers but if you read the weaponsmith boards you'll see the masses of novices having the fight of their life trying to get some business back from the masters. I quitweaponsmithing 2 weeks ago and went into tailoring (of all things! lol)and have made out very well thus far and enjoy it.

This is my input and hope it helps you out in your quest for eliteness. Sorry if it was a downer, just trying to keep peeps from going through what I did. Who knows they may fix a lot of problems and you might love it. To each his own

Thanks for the advice. I am also concerned about overpopulation of WS. I wish there should be more consumable stuff you can make/sell. Maybe grenades will be such an item when Commandos get fixed.

I don't want to be a pure crafter so I am doing other stuff as well. Not sure if I will go for any of the elite crafting professions or not. Well, have to see if it is fun or not (currently working my way up the engineer tree). I am pretty relaxed about getting most XP on shortest time and is doing a lot of differnet stuff at the same time (hunting, mission, surveying, crafting).

I might even sell back my crafting skills at some point and go pure combat. Not sure about which way to go yet.
