Thread: Slicing Prices
For those who haven't been following the JFreeman post, I would recommend doing so. After two years as a smuggler, it seems to me that SOE is still completely inept and utterly lost at understanding what this profession actually means to those of us who pursue it.

strike doesn't hurt SOE...
it only hurts other players. if we stop slicing, it won't do a thing. the players won't miss the bonus, they'll just wonder what kind of jerks we're being not slicing for them.
our issue needs to be taken up with the devs, not with other players who aren't involved in the process.
Some of us already tried striking on Eclipse when slicing was broken after CU. Invictus is right. It only made people angry with us.
that being said...back on-topic.
On Eclipse, since tools are dropping like crazy, most high end slices are comming down to the 100 to 200k range. Even ICB's are pretty easy to get a hold of now.
ICBs are VERY common on Eclipse. I actually have people offering me them, dozens at a time, for free, or for 1cr to my vendor if I am not online.
If I'm providing the loot?
Full speed slice: 225k
Full Damage Slice + Speed 1 + Crit 1: 300k
It would be more costly if I wasn't also a Bounty Hunter - the prices reflect the availability of the parts.

i'm not sure if im asking too much or too little. Should i set my prices more for armor or weapons? should my prices go up perslice in one session? or should i keep one solid price? I'm not sure what to do here. any help would be appreciated. Sorry if this is redundent question, but i dont feel like searching forum, thanks.
What i do for Weapons is, have a FLAT price: 20K - 75K.... for me, it all depends on, if the person brings me the materials or if ihave to provide my own..... Cause here is how i figure mine:
My Own Stuff: 50K - 75K
they bring me the Stuff: 20K - 50K.... but for me, 20K is my Flat Rate...
Armor i haven't decided, because i am unsure as to what all the Different Things that can be sliced on Armor does...
Really depends on your server, and whether or not you supply the components. On tarquiinas, I charge a flat fee of 200k fora full weapon customization, and that price includes components. If they provide all the components, I do it for 100k.
Armor for me is a 100k a piece, and that includes only a simple toolkit. For the armor components, I do a vendor search at the bazaar and charge whatever my replacement costs would be for the components at a vendor.
