Here is another nugget for y'all


Noob: hello. I would like to buy a krayt republic blaster. how much do you charge

Me: Hi. I can make this weapon however it will be quite expensive.

Noob: thats np. my house cost me 50,000 and i cant see a gun going for more then a house

Me: How much money do you have?

Noob: 8,000

Me: come back when you have 100 times that. Then we can talk krayt.

Noob: what?! you want more then 8k for a simple gun?!

Me: Yes, Krayt weapons are not a right for everyone to have.

Noob: Fine, i'll find someone else to make me a better UBER weapon than you could ever dream of.

Me: for 8k? Will you be paing with hopes, dreamsor wishes?

Noob: Bye and thanks for nothing

Me: /addignore noob

Yeah I got tired of questions like this. I tend to just keep my master swordsman title up and keep master WS hidden now.


Here's one I got?


"Can u make me a s h i t-load of grenadez?"


<< Oh and by the way can anyone make me a uber gun. Like the best there is. And ever will be. Sort of like having a deathstar in << the palm of my hand. Money si no object, as long as it isnt over 35 credits. Make sure you use the good stuff.

I try to preserve my good humorand professional decorum at all times, but as me patience is often tested, allow me to use this forum (and a jury of my peers) to express the following:


Questions you don't NEVER want to ask your weaponsmith (feel free to add your own)


1. Do you make guns?


No, actually I have spent the last 3 months attempting to learn the intricate stitches of CROCHET, the big banner over my head that says "Master Weaponsmith" is so I can score with them loose Twi'lek bar sluts at the Cantina.... damn, you found me out - but can I interest you in a krayt turtleneck sweater?


2. Do you make [insert standard gun name here] ?


No, those are beyond my skills completely - in fact, I make every gun BUT that one, and again you have found me out, exposed the single weakness in my skillset, anf I must now perform ritual Seppuku and disembowel myself with a rusty stone knife, would you like me to hold off so you can sell tickets?


3. I don't see a [insert standard gun name here] on your vendor, do you make them?


Damn, I hope he doesn't tell his friends on me - I will be the laughingstock of the Galaxy if the word spreads.... one moment, after I answer the 4 guys attempting to talk to me at once, I will point out that the fuggin gun is on page TWO of the vendor, and the real meaning of the [NEXT 100 ITEMS] button is to call the waiter over so he can refill your tasty beverage.


4. I need a [insert standard gun name here] but I want you to make it with the Good Stuff


Crap, he wants me to make it with the "good stuff" - and here I was hoping that he would buy the limpdix version of the gun that I make with all the crappy stuff. In fact, this canny consumer realizes what most do not - that only by ASKING for the sweet materials will I pull the rabbit out of the hat and produce the gun with 60 extra damage, 3.0 secs faster, and HALF the price of my normal inventory. Friend, the "Good Stuff" is something you smoke, here - let me roll you one....


5. I need an UBER [insert standard gunname here] can you make one?


Double Dawg Damn...this fellow has noticed that NONE of my gun say "UBER" in their name, and likely wants the "Good Stuff" to be used to craft one. But since he has used the "U" word, I know that he is 12 years old or less, and therefore is using his Momma's VISA card, so this fellow I can simply ignore (I better check to see if Mommy is with him first...she may be either A) fine, or B) red agro)


6. Customer: I need a Master Weaponsmith to repair my gun (spammed at a local starport) I need a Mas...

Wepsmith: I am a master weaponsmith, what do you need repaired?

Customer: My laser rifle, WAIT - how do I know you will give it back?


Oh Drat, I almost had him .... I was about to add another 22-260 11.0s speed-sliced laser rifle with 12 condition to my vendor for resale! But, I was foiled again ....this fellow is much too smart for me, perhaps I should just slink away in shame - Screw Ralph Nader and his Consumer Awareness teachings....


Hey Numbnutz, the quick answer is "You DOn't" - and the fact that I have unlimited laser rifles of twice the damage, and half the speed.....that has never occurred to you?



Ah, I feel better already friends, thanks for listening...

LOL


My favorite one happened to me yesterday. Was out hunting and got the tell, "Do you make boots?". I said no, I'm a weaponsmith, I make weapons. His answer- "I know you're a ws, thats what I searched under- but I don't need a gun, I need boots"



Still trying to figure that one out

LMAO - we all know the feeling. I especially like your answer to No 1.



Do you have copyright on this stuff?


I've had them all on my quick bar as macros for 6months now. Don't want to use anything under your trademark



Ok, here is the all-time-favorite:


I get this one at least 5 times per day:


"What's the best gun you can make?"


Answer: 30-60 CDEF Pistol. It's dirt cheap, and you don't need a cert. Really a great gun.

How about


Random guy: "Can Weaponsmiths make Composite?"


Hat: "Composite what?"


Random guy: "Armor."


Hat: "Like Armorsmiths make?"


Random guy: "Yeah."


Hat: "I can't make Armor, I'm a Weaponsmith."


Random guy: "Not even composite?"


Hat (I wish): "Ah, you're right - sorry, I didn't realise you said Composite - Yes, I can make composite. It just looks like Bone Armor. It's expensive though - that okay?"

Customer looks a weapon on the vendor, "Hey can you make me a <insert weapon> better than <insert your weapon stats>?"


Dang, they figured it out! I always put my worst junk on the vendor, you have to ask for the "good stuff." I keep that in the back for the "special" customers.

2) Can you make me an UBER Krayt FWG5.
