im sure its different for each server, but i was wondering what a good price to charge would be for slicing armor and weapons..i do 5k a slice or each piece of armor, and if its less than 20% slice its free..but for a full suit of comp that can come to 45k, and that seems a little much to me. so i was just wondering what you think is a good charging price






That is a big No-No! Never slice for free unless it's your buddy or a guildie. Free stuff is bad, mm'kay? You don't have Weaponsmiths or Bio-Engineers giving away their stuff just because it didn't get a perfect experimentation. Why should you undercut your fellow Smugglers like that?

Yeah, but you're not Scylla's Hottest Scoundrelles...people pay more for a hot twi'lek.

Whatever you can get people to pay.

There does seem to be a decent amount of variation between servers. What you may want to do is *shudder* spend a few minutes hanging out in Coronet, or Theed, and see what the starport spammers on your server are charging.




On Farstar, I haven't seen a spamming Smuggler in Yoda-knows-how-long. It might be that I don't hang around Coronet much except when absolutely needed.

Anyway, a fair price for both parties, I think, would be 10k. It's nice and round, it can be slightly adjusted for bulk slicing, and it's just high enough to discourage any haggling attempts of the 'OMG MY FRIEND DOZ IT 4 1K!!11' crowd, and not to hurt the bank accounts of the more serious customers too much.

you can do nothing to control the outcome of cutting that second wire so why should your pocketbook suffer for it? Just charge a flat rate. If it's less than 20%, well that's still better than what they started with now isn't it?

Don't charge. Star wars is over a year old now. There are many rich players. I get paid far more on tips with my smuggler.


On one of 5 I get the cheap fawks who don't tip at all. Just keep a mental note of them and don't slice his stuff next time.
