Hello Weaponsmiths!

I am a new Master Weaponsmith on the Starsider server, and was wonder if I could get your input on what is the top 5 selling items for each skill branch, Melee / Ranged / Munitions. I hope to use this information so that I have a shopping list of resources I should harvest and stockpile.

I would really appriciate any comments from all the Old School masters that have been around for a while and know what sells well.

Being one box away from master WS, I've been giving this a lot of thought. Sure, when you have 500k or a million credits in the bank, you can afford to contract out harvesting for all of the rare resources, but in my position, I'm initially going to have to focus on just making a handful of weapons which I can personally harvest the resources for.

Mybestguess as for the top 5 best selling weapons which haveeasily obtainableresource requirements would be - - (anyone feel free to correct me!):

1) scout blaster

2) FGW5 pistol

3) Laser Rifle

4) Laser Carbine

5) Tie forCurved Sword & 2h Curved Sword

Thanks,

kidvid

1) Scout Blaster

2) FWG5

3) DX2 / Laser Rifle, and Carbine

4) DLT20A rifle / DH17 carbine

5) Curved Sword

6) Two Handed Curved Sword

7) Vibro Knuckler

8) DXR6 Carbine

9) Long Vibro Axe

10)Lance

That looks like my top sellers list...it's usually what I put into production most in my factories. Basically, the lowest-tier weapon for every profession sells fast...Scouts for Pistol guys, DH17s for Carbineers, DLT20As for Riflemen, Curved Swords for Fencers, Lance/LVA for Pikemen, 2HCS for Swordsmen, etc. etc.

1)DX2 pistol

2)DX2 pistol

3)DX2 pistol

No joke. I sell about as many DX2 pistols as everything else combined.

1) Scout Blaster

2) FWG

3) Laser Rifle

4) Laser Carbine

5) DH17 short

not to make fun or anything but you're probaly seling more dx2 because other weaponsmiths don't make them.

I'm one of those who doesn't simply cause they use 4 powerhandlers vs 1 other fast selling pistols. I'd rather make 4 scouts than 1 dx2 etc. Unless I want to price my dx2's 3x higher.

I was wondering my my number 1 seller is the DX2 pistol :-)

Ehh ... 1 handler, 2 handler, 4, 5 or 10 ... it's just more crates :-)

Then again ... I am new and have 15 crates of power handlers on the floor with more coming out of the factory now ... so I am not moving the volumes of weapons some of you guys are.

Hero out

I did have a guy contacte me yesterday to make him some crates of Anti-Personell Mines. so maybe those could be considered popular.

On my server, a lot of PAs fancy the idea of having mine fields around their Halls. I just want to see someone run across one and go bang.

I ran across one at a Imp PA that did 600 damage so I'm not sure about the lack of bang for the buck.

So I have an idea of what sells now for Melee and Ranged, but does anything sell well in the munitions branch? I know there isn't a lot of schematics in that branch, but I wonder if it would be worth the effort to collect the resources needed to sell items from that branch?

Heh, Munitions? We make Munitions?

That tree is worthless. Nobody cares for it. Most of the stuff takes too many resources for too little "bang". Not even the Commandos will buy grenades and mines.

With all the master weapons out there, the fastest I can sell are those weapons with enhancement components, pre-slied to 30%+ dmg. Scout, Scatter

1. Laser Rifle
2. Scout Blaster
3. DX2
4. Laser Carbine
5. Spraystick
