Weaponsmith Archive

Here is a tip, instead of wasting your time going from store to store to store to store, use the vendor search and search the entire galaxy for the weapon you need.

Also check the creator names on the weapons on the bazaar. You can usually email them a custom order and they would be happy to make it for ya.

I try to keep at least one of each of the low level weapons in stock (thou I might not be totaly up to date right now), they move very slowly and when they finally do Its not allways I remember to replace straight away, but I havent forgotten the nonmasters and if people send me a tell asking for lowend weapons Ill normally go straight to crating them (if Im not caught up in costume orders or something like that)

So bottomline, we are out there and if you cant find anything on the vendor search just send a tell to your friendly neighbourhood WS, as long as you dont demand an UBER CL 12 weapon we are very friendly and helpfull

WS stock what sells usually. In some cases lower end weapons take the same parts and resources as a higher end weapon. Woul you use X resource to make 10000 credits when you could use the same X resource to make 30000? Personally I don't plan on stocking low CL weapons except on special request.

Its too easy to gain level/new skills, so most people just get XP using any old weapon, provided that it grants the type of XP they need. Throw on top of that the fact that we can sell about 1 non master level weapon every 2-3 weeks, its just not worth stocking them.

SOE need to slow down progression so that people sit at lower levels longer and that will create more of a market for lower level weapons and then they will start to be stocked by Weaponsmiths.

As has been said, the fact they are so hard to get is because only 1/1000 people are looking for such things. Uranium exists, but you sure as hell can't easily get hold of some because most people have no business or use for it

Its nothing new either, as for as long as I can remeber there has never really been a lower or even a middle market for any crafted items in SWG. Only the best sells, there is no middle ground. Nobody would really bother fighting Krayts if all they dropped was broken datapads - thats the equivalent of a Weaponsmith stocking low level weapons - its not worth the time effort for the end result.

weaponsmith should stock everything

my store has 5 or 6 of every weapon I can make. The only thing that is not on my vendors are cdef, daggers, and wood/metal poles.

VC Weapons - Corellia 1780,553

the vendor search rocks man, use it.

i found noob guns for my bria alt inside an hour..... one was a clvl 40 light laser rifle some guy made with a precu scope and krayt tissues [!!] that does like 750 dam with 2.5 speed and 88 sac.... for 5k!!!

what a novel idea...

I have made some lower level weapons but they don't sell very much. If you are in a group with some heavy hitters you could level all way with just a cdef.

Question is, which grinding weapons are useful to make? Don't remember stats but those weapons below lvl 30 is not that much better than CDEFs.

What is however worth making is low level heavy weapons. LP is AFAIK the only weapon giving hvy weap XP at novice commander and soem of the other weapons like HPBC etc seems to sell as well.

I have a pre-cu vendor and my old striker and tangle pistols seem to sell well (dont ask why I made those pre-cu lol)

hax

I used to stock every type of weapon, but after having to reload them into my vendor month after month after month, I offloaded a ton of them onto the bazaar at 3k a pop - and even then, most of them 'expired'.

I would always make one for anyone that contacts me though (like most of the above responders).

Another tip, other than vendor search, is to use profession search. Search for any weaponsmith who is online - and I would suggest there is in the main, no need to just look for master weaponsmith, and shoot those online at the time a tell.

Novice weaponsmiths would be very thankful for the business I would wager.

I never thought of flaming weaponsmiths to get a custom order... if I couldn't find what I wanted on the bazaar I'd contact a WS for a custom job.

I may try flaming them and asking "Can u make me uber gun pls" in future, thanks for the tip.
