Thread: how much would you spend on this rocket launcher?
Just in case you missed my sig the first two times I'll post it again !
hehe
d0h!
It's prbably worth around 15-20k, depending on your server. Certain servers really get price-gouged, so you could probably pull up to 40-50k on those.
For unsliced, it's not bad. And no, most people prefer damage to charges. When you're desperate enough to use a charged Heavy Weapon, you need it to be dead right **edit** now.
Perhaps I can give a point of reference. I play on Radiant.
The batch I'm selling are fairly similar to the damage on that model, but I've got 8.3 speed and 32 charges, but they're actually considered bad. I'd say the nicer ones are around 3800 max dmg with 7.7 speed or so and 32-33 charges. It's something I've made in the past, but when I ran my last batch, I only had some REALLY bad iron, so I had to go with what I had.
I'm selling mine for 19k and actually I'm going to drop them to 15k so I can move them out and get cranking on a few more with upgraded stats. When I get the better ones, they will go for 25k easily - no price breaks. But on some servers, you could easily expect to pay 40k or more for the same item.
I wouldn't call it price gouging either. It depends on if the right resources have shifted and if the WS who's crafting these has enough factories to keep up with his other supply while these time-consuming monsters get crated. It takes DAYS to craft any good number of RL's. Days that could be spent making other items.
Those are crazy prices fellas for limited use weapons. Im on scylla server and the weaponsmith there is awesome. She charges 20k for acrate of 7all HW's across the board. They contain 32 charges. This includes RL's, acid beam, lightning, and particle beam.
Her name is Tragic. Lives outside theed. If your on the scylla server, give me a tell in game, Ill give u the wp.

Stats like that would call for at least 25k.Usageis more important than overal damage.
im getting ready to place some on my vendor and just wanted an idea on a price to set.
1143-3166, 8.8speed
6.0 radius, 30.1% wound with a +24 @64
28 charges
is it sliced? if its not sliced then 20k if it is sliced then 15k
28 charges is even less than the usual 32 i see around but the damage is good.
I've bought 2 and had them both sliced...one damage, the other speed....
RL1: before slice the max damage was around 3866 and speed is 7.7...after a damage slice the max is close to 4800
RL2: before the slice the damage and speed wereabout the same...after a speed slice it's down to 5.7
Paid 30K for my first one and about 40K for my second....paid 2.5K each for the slices....
I'm not totally positive on the stats (will have to look when I get home) but those are the general levels.

The master weaponsmith on scylla figures here cost of weapons by the cost of resources and the amount of time put into them. She only charges 20k for a crate of 7 (that includes RL's, acid beam cannon, lightning beam cannon, and particle beam cannon. She says anyone who charges more for a limited use weapon is just plain ripping people off. She makes a great profit and still has great prices.
I could see where they're making a decent profit with any of the heavy weapons EXCEPT Rocket Launchers. I charge 9k for my other heavies while others commonly sell for 12-15k for the most part.
There's no way that weaponsmith is doing anything other than barely breaking even on Rocket Launchers at less than 3k a piece though. It takes way too many factory hours - welll... I guess if they have 8-9 factories cranking stuff out it could go quickly....
