Weaponsmith Archive

In all honesty, I've sold at least a few of every weapon, even SR Combat Pistols and Tangle Pistols. Granted, I don't move many of them, but I keep about 5 of each on hand just in case someone comes by and wants one. The way I see it a crappy weapon sold is better than no weapon sold.

actually everyone can use them just the same , just no one's certified for them meaning they do very little damage. Ultimately any weapon is sellable. Some are just for display but everything has a market. There are many weapons that aren't very useful and if your just looking for a list of good weapons to make then as a general rule(always exceptions) then stick to making master level weapons(or highest level in cases like swordsman where PH's are found in the novice box). There are a few professions like fencers and pistoleers where you have many different damage types allowing for several different weapons to be viable weapons depending on the target. A list of key weapons for someone who's selling would be the following

VK's
PH's
Scythes
Stun Batons
Gaffi sticks
T21's
DXR6-b
Jawa Ion
FWG5
DE-10's
DXR pistol

there are more weapons that can be made and are useful but this list should at least get ya started in the right directon

Might want to add Laser Carbines and Laser Riflles to that list as well, I also do a steady business with selling Republic Blasters as well.

• Ryyk Blade (slower, less damage than a 1H Curved Sword)
  
• Sword (slower, less damage than a 1H Curved Sword)
  
• Reinforced Combat Staff (this is an Artisan item, and the Metal Staff is better anyway)
  
• Vibro-Axe (slower, worse to-hit mods, less damage per second than a 2H Curved Sword)
  
• DL-44 Metal Pistol (vastly inferior to the DL-44)
  
• Power5 Pistol (inferior to the Scout Blaster and DH-17 Pistol)
  
• Tusken Rifle (just another energy damage rifle)
  
• All CDEF weapons (need you really ask?)

Ok, I scanned the "Questions to Never Ask a Weaponsmith" thread, and think this might be a legitimate, hopefully non-flammable query.

Since I'm a new WS, but still hope to be a dedicated serious WS, I need to ask you old timers... What weapons should I not even bother to try to make?? So far I've crossed out the SR Combat Pistol and the Tangle Pistol, but my gut tells me there's probably a few more clunkers out there I need to avoid. If any of you would be so kind to list which weapons you think are the 5 biggest wastes of crafting time, I'd be truly grateful. Thx .

Excellent, thx folks

What i do sell:
vk
gaffi stick
stun baton
powerhammer

t21
jawa
laser rifle
dlt20 rifle

laser carbine
dh17 carbine

scatter pistol
modified rep blaster
scout blaster
dl44 pistol
dx2 pistol
fwg5 pistol

other weapons i dont bother with as i have to constantly relist them (not counting enhanced weapons such as schytes etc.
