Hello all you smugglers. I am a Master Weaponsmith on Bloodfin. It won't be too much longer before my factories are ready to roll out crates of high tech artillery and ammunition. I want my customers to have the best enemy-killing potential they can have, so I will most likely want to get a majority of my goods sliced before selling them. I am not looking for a business associate yet for this endeavour (though I will be soon), but I am curious as to what sort of rates do Master Smugglers charge for bulk-slicing for groups of 5, 10, 15... etc. Thank you.

I don't do it anymore since the last nerf we got (crates nerf), if the guy insist I won't do it under 5 to 10k a weapon. I kno it's xpensive, I want the rate to be dissuasive, cause the crate nerf made the thing VERY boring (and it wasn't really fun in the first place) and I prefer not doing it rather than spend hours doing a few hundred weapons.

I got a tell to day from a master WS asking if i would do some bulk slicing for him. This is the deal we worked out. I'd just like some input on this deal. 1. He will supply all the tools needed clamps knives WUKs. 2. I will get 1.8k a slice (it's going to be about 250) 3. I get to keep 2 weapons of my choice (35%dam slice VK's)
I think this is a fair deal, yes it will take me time but that all it will cost me.

I personally would be happy with that deal, but admittedly since the spice market crashed, my smuggler isn't broke but he is very badly bent with some pressure cracks
the main reason i dont really like to slice is lack of supplies(besides bad customers of course)

actually i think that's a great deal especially where he is letting you keep 2 weapons of your choice you'll make 450k plus get two weapons sliced juss the way joo like em
sure he'll make more off the weapons in the long run but both parties come away with a huge benifit in my opinion.

I dont think thats a good deal. I have a WS that pays me 225k per crate. I quoted 200k it was he who insisted on 225k.
one 33% dmg PH will pay allcosts for your slicing.

the weapon smith i used to slice for (he retired) would tip me nicely for a great damage slice on one of his special weapons.

To be honest I'd probably do it simply for the choice of weapon. 215 damage VKs can go for a million on my server. 535 T21s go for a couple of million and Hammers go for about the same. Are you sure he's not offering you a choice of non 35% damage slices. Normaly WS give you a choice of the speed sliced ones and Armour smiths give you a free run of the the encumbrance ones.
I don't really pay much attention to bulk slicing offers I just send them to other smugglers. If this is what they are offering now then I may take an interest. I wouldn't do a bulk slicing job for less than a million.

I can keep what ever 2 weapons i want, so i can keep a 35% dam sliced vk, powerhammer, what ever. Thats why i'm only getting 1.8k a slice
