I apologize if this has already been talked about.


What are we all even charging for these slices now that we have to loot tools. We are going to be spending a LOT more time hunting these things down. so we have to factor in a lot more labor cost now.


So, for those actively practicing slicing already (been busy with work and haven't had much time to play), what are you charging.


Thanks!

Before I even consider coming up with a plan, I'm going to see what happens with component prices (which really haven't settled on any server, so any current plans will likely soon be revised). If they try to charge us 500k per component, they damn well had better be prepared to payme 1m per level after level one.

I say let them hunt-down/loot the kits for the slices they want. Let them bring them along with whatever they want sliced with it. NO HUNTING, NO LOOTING, and NO EXTRA $$$ or TIME involved gathering the required components just to be able to do or jobs.


And by the way, why are smugglers the only NON-JEDI profession that requires looted components to be able to do there jobs anyhow? I mean, Who thought that on up? It sure-as-heck WASN't a smuggler!

Hehe... I swindled my way into sellingillegal core boostersfor 2 million each,delicate triggers for 4 million credits each (I had 3), and even magically swindled a 7% speed slice and 2% damage slice for 1 million credits (twice). I guess I just have a way with people. /shrug


Tell me, am I that evil to want a buck in return for this crappy system that doesn't even go over caps?!?

I haven't actually been slicing, but I have been selling the kits (I spent hours securing temp storage and uncrating many, many kits before the patch). I've been selling the Simple Kits for 20k each, and the Finely Crafted Kits for 100k each. Business has been brisk but not extreme, so I'm thinking that I priced it just about right. Hopefully that'll serve as a useful datapoint for pricing the slices.


Possibly the fix for crated pre-patch kits will slow downmy rate of sales because the new kits will be more common, but we'll see.

Well that does get me a starting point. I went to one of the supposed loot points, the black sun tier 4 ships, and shot them down. I figured after I shot down 5 ships with none of the smuggler compnents I needed, that i t was a waste of my time. I mean, if I had gotten even one component, even a simple tool kit, I might have thought it was worth it. But jeeze, guess we'll see.



Thanks!

If they have there own loot components maybe like 20-50k but if they dont and I have to use my own tools then I'll charge them like 100k-500k. if they dont like that price they can just keep on spamming.
