hey guys, i havent been vocal on these boards in a long while....not since caylin has left our ranks


Smuggler was the first prof i mastered...a month or 2 after release...ive been playing since beta 1...but lately ive had a question.


I havent sliced a single piece of armor since the last Smuggler "update" which was just the slicing fix. Alot of people on my server ask me what i charge for armor break slices...the full armor break slice. I have seen someone spamming in theed ONE MIL per piece...i know price would vary but many of you know how over inflated brias economy is...i was wondering if im slicing at a loss if i charge 500k per piece? or ami overcharging?


any help would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks

It all depends on if you have to use your own slicing equipment or if your customer provides it. If you have to use your own parts, then 500k per doesn't sound bad at all. But if the customer brings the parts, 500k may be a bit high... perhaps 100-200k.

As a smuggler on Bria, I refuse to do a 75% armor break slice for under 750k (currently). As the price of the shock absorbent paddings goes up, so does my slice price. I'm not using my inventory unless I can afford to replentish it, and SAP's on Bria are currently 350k +++ each. If people complain, I tell them good luck finding somebody else to do it cheaper. They still have the option of providing all the loots needed for their slices and then paying my base rate of 50k, but they never seem to take me up on that after they check the bazaar.

I thought the NGE couldn't be any worse than the CU, but I was wrong.
