Thread: What's the most valuable Power Up for rifles? Or the one that holds the most value to you.
Usually I see crates of 10 for just about any powerup for about 3000. Then I saw a crate of 10 (33% max damage 13% mind reduction) for 7000..
That seems a bit steep... Is this guy overcharging, or is he right on the money? I don't think I've actually run in to that powerup before.
I use Speed Couplers, personally. There's a master artisan in the guild so I've not had to buy anything like that for a long time. But i think 7k is too much.

It's a good powerup, but you can probably find it for 3000. At least on Kettemoor you could. I guess if you are hard up and really need it, you may be willing to pay 7000 for it.

+33% Max Damage +16% Mind cost (those are my old stats) sold for 3k per.
I also made 5 different types of 5-stat powerups, but no one bought them, so I dropped Master Artisan, in the holo hunt.
5-stat powerups are not impossible, 4-stats are rare, and my 3-stats were common.
Rarely did I even bump my 5 stat powerups to 4k.
I'm about to pick up master artisan again, and may grind out some more. In the mean-time, my powerup stock has diminished from 7000 in stock, to less than 2000. You're more than welcome to come and look.

I would, but I'm on Ahazi 
Thanx for the info though.. I'll keep looking for the 3000 a crate... I'm sure I'll find some.
I'm a master artisan and I must say those prices are very high... I charge 1k/crate maximum. I haven't made any WPU's in awhile cause my 33%Speed/16%Mind has been enough for a while. But now that I'm rich I suppose I can go looking for good materials and make me some more.
I'm on Chilastra and I can take custom orders if it is for minimum 50 WPU.
I hooked up with a master artisan who has done a lot of custom orders for me - speed/mind Pupswhen i was grinding rifleman.
after mastering rifleman, use the 33% max dmg, 16% mind. I buy'em from my guy in backpacks of about 15 crates. (i pay 2k each, i throw a little extra his way because he really only does this for me).
always keep a few free-floating ones in your inventory so you can pop 'em on your rifle while you're shooting. 
After damage mitigation goes in I'm thinking I'll swap to min/mind or min/max for PvP. On tarq I paid 3-4k per crate, on chim I've paid 1-3k.
I don't use powerups for PvE, decay weapons far too fast.
