Thread: Fellow Weaponsmiths, how are we all doing?
QFE.
Nades are still selling really well, enhanced weapon sales have slowed but i've removed my basic melee and ranged weapon vendors. I'm using the lull from now until CU to consider how, or indeed if, I want to continue to run my business. I'm tempted to ditch the basic weapon vendors permanently and just concentrate on custom crafting as i'm doing at the moment.
I'm playing my combat toon alot more from now until CU to stock up on as many WS looted components as I can.
I dont think so. If you read the post a lot of people mention that only the highest of highend weapons sell... So the ADK has killed the marked for midlevel enhanced weaponry. At least thats what Im experiencing. I never said the ADK would kill us, but I said, and that is still my honest opinion, that it has hurt the Weaponsmith profession.

So all the cries of the ADK killing us all off were the usual scaremongering then?

Im actually doing pretty well, but Im mostly selling enhanced weapons and loot.
The Vendor search has been good to my wallet
Im having very nice sale numbers, but it still feels like people are holding again waithing for what the CU will bring.
Also Ive noticed that selling Powerhammers is extremely hard atm. Dunno if people are afraid that swordsman wont be any good after CU, but I see hammers that before the CU got close would have sold within days now stay untouched on my vendor.
Nade sale has slowed down, but that aint bothering me as I hated making them anyway
Pup sales have gone up but taht was to be exspected with the ADK
On a last note only really highend weapons move fast on the vendor the rest I feel I have to restock a couple of times to get off
that concludes the daily report from Farstar Danevang City Corellia :b
Hmm, I'd say from your post it hasnt hurt you but then I may be reading your post wrong.
My point is, after the introduction of the ADK there was untold doom and gloom on this forum saying we would all be out of business and no weapons would sell again, what I read time and time again is that people would equipt their ADK on their favourite weapon and never need to buy another weapon again. I didnt believe it at the time and didnt notice it in my sales. With the introduction of the vendor search sales improved for me and I wondered how things were looking for other smiths, this thread answered pretty much what I was expecting.
It's good to see.

Interesting what you choose not to include in the quote :b
I still think ADK has hurt sales of nonenhanced weapons and sales of midlevel enhanced weapons. Only the best of the best sells and that wasnt what I experienced pre-adk. Its hard to really test my claim as far as ranged weapons goas krayt tissues started being very common around the same time, but I see the same tendency in the melee department so id say theres some truth to what I say.
The game is changing and Im changing with it. I just liked it better as it was before. And I stronglyhope that they'll soon have to make some kind of notion that they dont regard Crafters/Entertainers as b-proffesions compared to combat. As that is whereI feel the game has been heading with a lot of the changed made lately.
But thats beside this discussion.
