Thread: The Truth About Weaponsmithing
This post is dead on accurate in so many ways.
Silva is right about Naritus, most of the original weaponsmiths burned out and quit after about 3 months. There are a few left, but it gets smaller every day. The only reason I didn't get hit with the same problems as them was my location - I set up shop on Talus, and nearly gave up on weaponsmithing for a LACK of customers before I moved to Naboo.
I am lucky in that my guild will collect resources for me and/or loan me harvester lots if I ask them. And believe me....when Ostrine spawns again I will ask.
At any rate, I truly think things are starting to improve somewhat now. More and more people are getting master, and a lot of them are being very competitive on price. At least on Naboo on Naritus, the amount of competition is helping to spread demand out. Sure it means less sales, but I find it preferable to the hell described above.
