I have not found a straight forward way on how to grind weaponsmith. People are sayingmany different ways on how to grind it. I am just wondering what way you would recommend.


This is some information that I have gathered.


Weaponsmith- This is the weird one as there are two paths. Ideally, you can do this in 2197 clicks using only 448,000 resources by starting with Blade Vibro Units, moving to 2-Hand Axe as soon as you can, then taking that to Advanced Mounting and starting churning out Heavy Warheads. Sound easy? Heavy Warheads require three different difficult ingredients. But since your alternative is to make Heavy Axes to Mastery for a total of 6860 units (more than Armorsmiths), you had better do whatever it takes to find those materials!


Weaponsmith - Get to Firearms I and do projectile rifle barrells in practice mode for the whole profession (only need steel).


Projectile pistol barrels at 50 exp each

projectile feed mechanism to grind. Its 17 Metal(10 of which is steel) for 35 WCXP

i use proj riffle barrels at 90 wcxp

weapon upgrade kits give 60 weaponcrafting exp...takes 20 mineral and 10 ptrochem.

I went with Metal Staffs / Projectile Rifle Barrels (depending if I found cheap grinding steel, or cheap grinding alum/iron/copper)

And are you sure WUKs give WS exp? I'm not positive, but I thought they gave artisan exp (then again, I don't know if I've ever made an individual WUK, compared to factory runs)

No, I have tested. They give WSXP. About 60 xp each sounds right. and you can sell them.

well, I guess WUKs would be the *perfect* route for the poor grinder, who can't afford to waste cash on "grinding" metal to practice with.

You guys are forgetting Blaster Rifle Barrels.



These require 53 of any metal and 5 crystalline gemstone for a total of 115 XP. Similar to the projectile rifle barrels but more exp and does not require any steel.

I rather grind 800k resources for 200xp a craft then use 200k resources for 60xp a craft.





Resources give 2 XP each (with a few exeptions). Not sure exactly what you meant by this.

You need to be near a crafting station to grind those (one more click)

This is what I have come up with so far. Please tell me if any of this information is wrong. I also am not sure if the xp number is from pratice or NON pratice mode.


weapon upgrade kits - 20 mineral and 10 ptrochem for 60xp
Blaster Rifle Barrels - require 53 of any metal and 5 crystalline gemstone for a total of 115 XP
Projectile pistol barrels - 50exp
projectile feed mechanism - 17 Metal(10 of which is steel) for 35xp
projectile rifle barrells - 90xp?????
WUKS - 60xp ???

I'd suggest Medium Warhead Mechanisms

It's somewhere around (dont have SWG to hand)

45 Steel
30 Reactive gas
10 Radioactive
5 polymer

.. and it gives about 180XP per unit.

It's 12 clicks to add all the resources (3 steel boxes, 1 gas box, 1 rad box, 1 polymer box) but if you use a macro to open and close the tool you can get through it pretty fast.

It's not perfect, but it's nearly twice the XP of projectile barrels.

15x Skevon Reactive Gas

10x Thoranium Steel

Might as well just go with the Heavy Warhead Mechanism for 470xp each (I think 470 is correct)

10x Hydron-3 Inert Gas

80x Skevon Reactive Gas

40x Thoranium Steel

You need to do more research before expecting us to do it for you.

ANY REACTIVE GAS can be used for medium warheads. Skevon is NOT a specific for them. They are still not worth the hassle IMO.


WUKs are (use your brain on this one) Weapon Upgrade Kits.


Go read the Penultimate Guide thread on this forum.


FYI pro rifle barrels and 460K of steel is the simplest and quickest way there. Two clicks per item on the same stack: 96xp per item. ALL other items call for the cursor to be moved to another stack which can trip your macro up if you miss a click. This method makes WS possible in 18 hrs or less not including time to get trained. No messy resource hunt for hydron-3. No 10 doubleclicks per item. No problem.



Dev' Eloper uses Combat Balance Reschedule on you for 6-8 months worth of damage points!
You shoot your mouth off on the forums but miss! You post constructively but it is deleted!
Ubercred It'Duper tips you Cr 27,000,000,000,000,000,000 but you evade it!
Dev' Eloper uses Publish 10 Vendor Fix on you for 55 item limit damage! Your vendors and 12 months of work have become incapacitated!
You use Cancel Account Button on Dev' Eloper for $15 p/m of damage!
Dev' Eloper tries to use JTL Expansion pack on you for $50 worth of damage on you but misses!

You use windows sys32 fdsk utility on StarWars Galaxies program files for 2.4Gb of damage! StarWars Galaxies: An Empire Developed is no more!!

The schematic Site I got the medium warheads off of said it requires Skevon Reactive Gas. lol - You got all up tight and personal in that last message. Hope it was worth getting heated up over.


Now you say do Weapon Upgrade Kits. They give 60xp. In my previous post I said Medal Staffs give 88xp. Why would you want to grind Weapon Upgrade Kits?


Then you say to grind Projectile Rifle Barrels which only give 94 or 96xp. Blaster-rifle Barrels give 115xp.


I guess if you prefer doing the extra crafts and spend more time this is perfect then.
