Thread: So Now That BH are Getting Smuggler Parts From Thier Missions.......
I still ask customers to provide these for their own slices and let them decide for themselves what's a fair price. If I'm buying them, it's only going to be if I see one that someone's parting with for a steal.
And I'm always glad to trade slices for other parts - when Pub 19 hit I had several ICBs and few Mandalorian Intraframes - now it seems like every other mark drops a Mando frame, so I'd gladly provide my own in return for some more ICBs which I like to use for my guns and those of my friends.
Before yesterday, I charged 1 million for any slice where I had to provide my own ICB. Now I'd probably ask 500k if I were nclinded to part with any from my stock. That's an offer I'd likely only extend to frequent customers and folks to whom i am favorably inclined.
I will, however, have to revise my prices based on changing availability. I see my prices for providing Triggers, Mando Frames and even ICBs going down, but prices for Fine Toolsets and other Tier 2 components may actually go up a bit.
As for the fee for my work? I'll still keep that at 5/10/25/50k respectively. That's pretty reasonable considering what the customer gets out of it.
Well just to give you guys a heads up (As I have both a BH toon and a smuggler toon). When I'm off doing the BH missions. Almost EVERY mob boss is dropping SOME sort of slice component. There's the odd time when they dont. Like I got a CA off of one. And another I cant recall what the hell it was exactly now.
The rest though All gave me at least one slice component. Usually allways the teir 3/4 slice components (Core boosters, trigger assemblies, Reactive plating etc)
One gave me a core booster and a valley view painting O.o
As a BH with an Armorsmith/Smuggler alt, I have to say that I wouldn't pay more than 100k for ICB's or Mando Intraframes now.
In 18 marks I recieved...
2 ICB's, 4 Mando Intraframes, 4 DTA's, and 5 Reactive Micro Plates.....
Based on these numbers and the fact that Kadaara looks like Coronet right now, the price will be dropping fast, especially considering I've gotten one of the ICB's from the base CL82 8k Health mark.....
Unfortunately, it can take 15 minutes to complete one mission depending on planet and distance from the closest Star/shuttleport

If a BH wants a dmg slice he has to provide the tools and give me an extra set for myself.,
You'll find that BH taking his business elsewhere... or doing it himself. Only a fool would alienate their best source of tools, not to mention BHs tend to need more gear sliced than other professions.
You'd be better of giving the BH a deal and you may discover that it's beneficial to you in the long run.
