i sell em for 50k a crate... a run of 40 sells in an hour if i advertise. I've seen em posted for 25k a crate (which with factory times, which take up factories that could be making something else is way tooo low).


I have seen them selling for as high as 200k a crate on bria... ppl want them and the demand is higher than anything else i've seen in a long time. I don't mean to be a price gouger but c'mon... when demand is high, the prices rise

I sell the 898 max ones for 75k a crate and I have 880max atm will sell them for 70k a crate I think. Also have 830max crates, I am selling them for 60k a crate, but everyone still only buys the 898 and 880 ones first!!


Just like with swoops, they leave the 61% swoops for 10k but they buy 32k 91% swoops instead

I've hada batch on my vendor for 3500 a crate of 10 ,along with c22s and cryobans (4000/4500) ,and have hardly sold any lol

I need to advertise better i think ( and up the price)

Definetly LOL


I sell crates of C12s as fast as i can make on the Eclipse server for 37500 a crate. I keep the quality up on them for the most part, but even when a lesser batch comes out, as in the damage falls under 800, they still sell just as fast. Lately I've been securinglarge ordersfor protons and imp. detonators as well, which i've been tagging at roughly 125k a crate. 'Nades of late have become a very reliable and steady income, and I am very thankful for it!!!

FYI,

I am considering manufacturing c12 grenades and need a price check:


stats as follows:


Speed 3.1

dmg 184-760


I used average quality resources to make it, so I am pretty sure I can do better and mass produce them, I just need a place to start to consider pricing per unit.


Thank you







I use average resourcesas welland I shoot for around 200-780 damage on my low cost grenades. I charge 25K per crate of 25. My lowest damage was 200-776 and my highest damage was 199-788. My materials for the sub components account for the subtle variations in damage from run to run.


I can't seem to keep any grenades in stock lately and my best customer just bought up a full production run of 39 cases (didn't want the partial case of 23). Last night I laid down two more factories that will be devoted full time to grenade production. I could have sold another 100 cases or so in the last three days if I had any stock left.


FYI: As far as I know, c12grenades are speed capped at 9 seconds. This makes the speedstat kind of pointless.

I am new to weaponsmith, and only have 0104 at the moment, is it worth me making grenades now to sell at slighly cheaper prices? Or will they just not compete at all with a masters?

You could probably make some and sell them cheap on the bazaar if you wanted. C12s are, frankly, one of the few things that novices can make money on nowadays.

good plan, I guess I need to get hold of the resources for them - I am making most of my money selling my grinding steel to Shipwrites and not grinding much at the moment

With all the talking about grenades, I decided to try and make some. (Noone has asked me yet, but maybe it will be a new business area for me) And they came out 907 max at 2.6 spd. Maybe I should have used lower level resources lol

I too am curious of the price range per crate of 25 on Lowca, practically no one sells any or at least sells them out too quickly, I am thinking 50K for my 2.6 208-907 C12s.

I had to raise my prices to 30K a crate as I actually had to buy some resources (prefer to mine my own). I still can't keep any on the vendor with 4 factories turning them out 24/7.
