Commando Archive

I had 200k. I bought 3 weapons..commando weapons and i now have about 60k...thats 140k for 3 weapons and the proffession is nerfed! I also hear that because resources are so rare to make our weapons that miners are charging the artisans more and more to buy these resources to make our weapons.

Now in all logical terms artisans need to make profits and if resources cost alot then their gun prices go up. So if these "rare" resources are mined and sold we could be looking at 100k a weapon. I have a friend who does alot of mining and he says the same thing. he predicts that with the way the in-game enconomy is going at the moment we maybe looking at 80k-100k for just a standard pistol. Now, artisans dont get me wrong charge wot ever u want cos u need to make a profit. But if the only other way to make an income is by missions then surely they could at least but some tougher missions on the terminals with better prices. the "kill a worrt lair" for 1.2k is slightly boring now.

the explorer missions i agree are quite fun, and the rewards r nice to..but they take time. I am not one for harvesters, i'd rather get out and hunt and kill stuff. thats why i chose commando. I am sticking with the proffession because i see a light at the end of the tunnel but i've stored away my weapons and decided to concentrate on something else for the time being.

I can completely understand your trepidation Abyssin. I paid 46k for my first flame thrower and have since learned I was a retard for doing so. A few days afterwards the big patch came out and Class 3 Petro was about as rare as a mexican in california. If you're on chilastra you should check with Esraf, I've found her prices to be much more reasonable (14k for FT/Acid Rifles, 8k for particle beams etc.). In the next patch I hear the resource requirements are being lifted so you can possibly expect to pay even less.

15k for all master weaponsmith weapons on tarquinas. Thanks soltanus

Sorry...to clarify, only master skill level weapons are 15k(like commando flamethrowers and heavy acid rifles). They decrease in price in lower tiers of the weaponsmith(Like FWG5's and such).

There is one other important point to consider: we don't know what the AP on the guns is really going to be in game. I had heard that the APs were higher in BETA? True? If so, buying em now is as much of a waste as a T21 pre-next patch.

Launcher pistol...

im on tempest i bought 3 launcher pistols for 10k. so 3.3k each.

I have two accounts. The first is already a Master Weaponsmith, name: Marga Nilaw. My shop is east of Keren, Naboo (displayed on the overhead map).

My second account is a Commando in training.

Since I can definitely feel your pain, I will guarantee that no Master level commando weapon at my place will ever cost more than 15k (less if possible).

Once the rare resource requirements go away, the costs WILL come down for other Commando weapons.

Just as an example, to help you understand what the weaponsmiths are going through, I've had a ton of requests for LLCs for bounty hunters. We got some Doonium Iron on Radiant this last shift, but it's in the remote areas of Dantooine. That means about 5k in tickets just to make the Naboo->Corellia->Dantooine trip and back just to harvest the ore. More than the cost, the *time* involved to run clear out there is time where I could have been cranking out my 167 dmg FWG5s and selling them at various banks across Naboo.

So basically I can make 100k selling pistols, rifles and carbines in an evening, or make up a few heavy weapons for an uncertain market. I believe *that* is why you're having such a hard time getting weapons at reasonable prices.

Again, if you're on Radiant, head to Keren Naboo and check out Marga Nilaw's weaponshop east of town. I'll keep the Commando weapons stocked and reasonable.
