I sell chassis the most, and RE'd items.


On my vendor I keep 1 or 2 each of Tier 1-3 chassis. I don't stock Tier 4 or Master chassis as it's too many resources for too few sales. I'm happy to make one on the spot if someone is looking for one.


I don't have enough resources to stock MSW-crafted weapons or components, but I'm working on that as well.

What do you guys sell the most of? I have all the resources collected to make everything in SW, but I really think that is just to much work.

So, I thought I would just ask you to cut down on some stress for me.


Thanks in advance.

No worries on money. I'm doing SW for fun. My MAS makes enough to take up any slack.

If you have good resources, don't use them on chassis- at least none that you wish to sell. Most customers want their chassis cheap. Save your good stuff for ship parts.

Cool, that was the plan. Looks like I actually know what I'm doing....

Don't sell yourself short Elood, you are one of the best crafters on the server, you have a grasp of crafting and resource utilization I strive for daily, you make it look easy.

You will do well.

I only craft components that I can make very well, and that have a hope of selling in the face of superior loot - i.e., Reactors, weapons, SPEED-maxed engines, shields, armor, boosters, and missile/CM lauchers and packs.

I haven't noticed any trends as far as any of those greatly outselling the others, unless maybe it's my reactors. Intrepid has been blessed with some killer resources, and my reactors are top-notch. That's the best thing I could ask for, since a good powerful/light reactor is the cornerstone of a well-equipped ship, IMHO. Seems to me that most folks come in and pretty well outfit their entire ship with my parts, but only rarely do they buy the chassis to put them in.

Things I avoid like the plague - Droid interfaces and capacitors. Unless I'm asked for them. Every time I craft one and compare it to looted, I get depressed and pissed at SOE.

Good luck and Happy Crafting!

I was AS before I was shipwright and had a huge stockpile of great UT/SR/OQ steel, iron and ore. If you did the same as me, you should have no problem making the switch to SW. All you need are the specific SW resources and a lot of high conductivity steel to start production. the previous poster is right about avoiding the production of capacitors. I would add boosters to the list of things to avoid as well.

What I do not sell the most of:

Droid Interfaces
Crafted Engines
Master level frames

And what does sell in the largest quantities (though it does vary drastically):

Paint Kits (tons)
Texture Kits (tons)
Flight Computers, and Astromech's
Unprogrammed, and programmed chips
RE'd Engines
RE'd Reactors

Also, I would second the good advice in this thread. If you want to specialize, get some 950+ of some shipwright specific resources and specialize in the upgraded components the resource applies to.
