The only thing you can sell as non-master are crap guns on bazaar, and various grenades/mines/expendable commando weapons. Even after you get master, you won't have all the resources to make decent guns unless you've been stockpiling for months or spent millions buying them from someone else, so again you're stuck with crap guns for bazaar and munitions.


XG mines, HPBC, and rocket launchers should sell decently even with bad resources because most people don't make them.

1. Get a house in a great location, close to a big city, or in a high-traffic player city if you can.


2. Make master artisan


3.Set up a vendor selling weapon powerups and vechicles. Use those revenues to fund your harvesters. This will also help build up your merchant skill. Merchant skills allow you to reduce your harvester costs, show up on the global map, and don't forget -- have attractive vendors.


4. Use bazzars as needed to sell as many weapons as possible that you grind to recoup your harvesting cost.


5. Work on building up a collection of exceptional resources !! You'll need them later.

Oh, and


6. Make an "all the weapons you'll ever want for free" deal with an architect so you can get free harvesters ....

Mogiff first off you can make master tommorrow if you want. Go to the bizarre and run a search hydron 3 was in spawn as was thoranium as of late. Skevon was around a month ago. Just do the ex crafters grind. You cannot make squat at novice. Then go buy some of the durobeote polysteel copper its still on the bizarre. Make dh17 pistols. Go to coronet and put them on the bizarre for two thousand credits they will sell.


Irolunn is in spawn now its garbage but atleast you can make abph. You also want to mine that uber osterine that is in spawn now. Phrick and diatium can always be found on the bizarre, and we have had some decent polymer as of late. Bing bang boom.


You make okay dh17s make them in crates and sell them in coronet. You might do a crate a day thats fifty k more then enough so that you are not a starveing artist.


Asfor finding customers. Your guess is as good as mine. I have had to struggle to make five sales a day even though my products are comporable, and relatively low priced. I think there is just a ton of weaponsmiths out there. If you are looking to make money I would suggest master doctor. Since the buffs are so locked in now. Doctors can sell some buffs for ten k. Sit infront of a starport and spend six hours selling them. Ten customers a hour sixty total. You do the math six hundred thousand credits.


Does anyone remember the days when buffing was for special occassions like fighting krayts. Now people get buffed to go shopping.
