Brawler Archive

Hey everyone,

I'm thinking about getting out of the marksman/scout/brawler business (fighting is getting boring) and thinking about becoming a weaponsmith. I've noticed throughout this board that many people are finding it difficult to find a master weaponsmith. I'm just wondering how many people are finding it hard to find a master melee weaponsmith and if not many people can find it I just may try to help fill that void.

I love my 2-handed axe. It's so big and shiny.

I have characters on two different severs. One's an artisan (the step before becoming weaponsmith) and one's a brawler.

I think it's great that you want to be a weaponsmith, especially if you make melee weapons. It's really hard to find good vibroblades, for example. Know this, though. Getting to the higher levels of weaponsmith is a major grind. A lot of the stuff you have to do--surveying, sampling and harvesting resources, for example--is stuff that a lot of people find boring. And accumulating all the XP you need sometimes involves hours of making and destroying low-endstuff that there's no market for.

If you go ahead with it, let us all know. Once you make the higher levels, you'll have tons of customers.

I plan on going weaponsmith as well, and plan on specialising in Melee. Will be a while though....
