Commando Archive

Everyone I see on Gorath either:

A: Cannot make them, or at least not the good ones.

B: Makes really really crappy quality ones.

C: Has only old ones.

D: Charges an ungodly price for them. One guy even admitted to me that the price has 'about a 40% markup' when I asked him how much of it was pure profit.

I can understand labor costs, but still... If anyone out there wants some business and sells this stuff at decent prices, post here .

i'd hold off for a bit... most people are grabbing them at any price... low supply + high demand = high price. its just simple economics... but 30k for a flamethrower is pretty shady considering that they only take basic resources.

just my opinion... i've seen the har and flame for 15k at one place on my server.

good luck finding cheap prices though.

I spent 75,000 on a flame thrower yesterday which is insane but I didn't want to wait for the prices to fall or for those with fair prices to start making them.

I've used it enough to get about 35K HWs experience and so far I think its still at 889 of 889 of its lifespan. Looks like I'll have this one for a long time. At first I thought it seemed really odd that the weapon wasn't degrading but then it hit me. Because I have to wait 15 seconds between specials I was barely using the the weapon. And yes, I still get incap'd a lot during that 15 seconds when I'm running for my life, unable to heal, return fire, change weapons or even feign death.

Jaegar Enterprises on Rori was selling them last night for 8000 credits for Flamers (bought 3 of these to seewhatslices I can get)and HARs (bought 1).

Too bad I spent 30K earlier in the day for a flamethrowerTheed on Naboo.

I forgot to mention....his shop WP is on the planetary map under vendors, and I'm on Starsider.

Best I seen on Eclipse - Tatooine is 25k for theHAR and FT.

for 25k eachI got the following waepons

FT - 423-815 DMG, 18.1% wound, AS 4.8, HAM 79/18/18

HAR - 305-699 DMG, 34.3% Wound, AS5.3 HAM 95/59/19

A Particle Beam cannon I saw for 40k for about 26 charges, and seeing as I only with Heavy WepSupport I, well that's just not worth my credits.

Not sure I'd pay that even if I COULD hit with it.

There are so many competing weaponsmiths on my server that most of the Commando weapons are 10k

I am a weaponsmith and I can tell you that making a rocket launcher takes 7-8 factory runs ( I forget teh exact number). Needless to say, they are very difficult and annoying to make. This is the reason for such high prices.

They aren't asking about rocket launchers, we know how difficult they are to make. They are referring to flamethrowers/HARs which were made easier to be made.

On Sunrunner I got my flamethrower and HAR for 50k (25k each.) Illuno (I think that's close to the name) reactive gas isn't easy to get a hold of. I could have gotten them cheaper except the weaponsmith I got my first set off of was kind of upset that the 10 HAR's he had on his vendor became entirely useless. He didn't want to delve into making new ones just yet.

Rocket launchers are going to be excessively expensive. NINE factory runs are required to make a batch of them.

To make a decent Flamethrower you need

FOUR powerhandlers, ONE rifle barrel, ONE weaponstock. That's 4 factory runs to make one batch of guns.

Same with the Har.


Our consumables are way too consuming of resources and time for the few charges they result in.

A fair price will be 20 to 25k for a flamethrower or Har

Sounds about right. I paid 25k for my flamethrower and 50k for my rocket launcher on Eclipse. I've had weaponsmiths ask me what they think the pricing should be and I usually say:

Flamethrower/HAR

40k = outrageous
20-30k = about right
>20k = true bargain

Charged Weapons

>50k = outrageous
30-50k = acceptable
>30k = true bargain

On Intrepid I bought my Flamethrower for 15k from DaVince's shop on Corellia. I asked a Master Weaponsmith prior to buying the Flamethrower how much they'd charge for a Flamethrower and a HAR and was told 15k each.

They seem fairly cheap on Intrepid

15k each for the LC, flamer, and HAR at kortech on Tarquinas

Not bad, I've seen prices much higher, so I'm not complaining.
