Thread: Master Weaponsmith Market Research: Pistoleer Weapons
I'd like to thank all the pistoleers who have responded so far. You input is both enlightening and helpful.
Regarding the speed thing, it would seem your style of play is going to be the deciding factor in what kind of speed you will need in a weapon.
As others have mentioned, not all Pistoleers are concerned only with damage because specials add to the delay -- in fact, only Pistol Bounty Hunters (those who are 0/0/4/0 Bounty Hunter plus some Pistoleer skills) can fire any special with anypistol at one per second.
A Master Pistoleer (with no other speed modifiers) needs a 1.6s pistol to fire BodyShot3 and FanShot at 1 per second, and a 2.1s pistol to fire BodyShot2 and 1 per second.
A non-Master, 0/0/0/4Pistoleer cannot even cap BodyShot2 without a 1.2s pistol.
So there is room for customers who need speed, and those who do not.
Since you are on Kettemoor, my own server, I can give you a bit more information -- manyweaponsmithsseem to be selling unsliced, non-Krayt FWG5s (these are easily the most popular Pistoleer weapons, by the way) in the 50-195 damage, 2.0s range for about 8000-10000 credits. Regular DX2s are perhaps 85-135 2.3s, maybe a little over 10000, so-called advanced DX2s 100-150ish, 2.6s, 15000 credits or more. I might be off slightly; this is from memory. I do not know that the market for the specialty pistols like the SR Combat and Tangle is quite so exact.
Oh yeah, consider selling some crates of 30% damage/15% action powerups (assuming such a combination exists) along with your pistols -- the FWG5 and DX2 with specials fired at 1 per second eat HAM quickly. Maybe you already do this -- I do not shop at Theed too often. Oh wait, Coronet, you moved there? Stinking Rebels ![]()
