I think thats a fair price reguardless of server. Some servers have different weapons markets. The weaponsmith is probabally expecting to have to junk a number of items. Which is the case a bad slice can actually make some weapons nigh worthless. So the smith is going to take some losses. He will still make money and all just non necassarily off of each weapon.


I would take the deal A hour and a half to make near half a million when all is said in done with the value of the two added weapons is not a bad payday.





bah your not popular are you. balanced you out on stars


I think it was the "bad slice" comment. Look people we all know that we want the perfect 35% slice, that's perfect. The oppsite of perfect is terrible. So an 11% slice though is an improvement to the item is still a terrible slice, on the we use scale. a bad slice is below twentys, an okay slice is say 20-30 and agood slice is 30-34.


You can argueall you like but in terms of slicing lower slices are bad, upper slices are good. If someone wants a speed slice and they get a damage, they're not exactly going to be over the moon are they? They're going to class it as a bad slice where as you might class it as a good slice.



I really think you guys are laying into ana-mo-cara a little to hard. V

I can attest to the loss on slices part. Whenever I get a sub twenty slice it usually means the weapon I am sliceing that might be worth 10k might have to be sold at 3 or 4k just to get another player to buy it. In general I end up haveing to throw away four out of every ten guns. Simply because a slice was not good enough.


Hell sometimes I end up haveing to destoy weapons simply because nobody will even touch them over a bad slice. When a gun is normally a 3k item, and you get a 16 percent slice there isnt much lower you can go other then hopeing a noob sees it and buys it. On my server that is like never. So I end up just destroying alot of perfectly good weapons that got awful slices.


I was just pointing out that the weaponsmith paying the poster. Might not be makeing a profit off of each weapon. Infact he or she may be selling those weapons at cost or simply trashing them.

I can realte to that. I sliced about 100 bits of armour to make 2 suits costing probably 2 or 3 million, one base and one encumbrance. What did I do with the rest? through it on the bestine bazzar for 6k a piece to help some noob. Fair enough I could propbably sell the two suits and still make a profit though
