Thread: whats the best way to make money?
I am a noob WS too. 12pt, using foods and crafting in a Research Center. My next endeavor is FS crafting.
I have sold the Scatters with nice a variety of 100+ tissues for between 750k and 1.5 million.... very nice scatters though.
I sell power hammers with damage in mid to upper 900s for between 20 and 30k.
Just made a batch of non krayt scatters, DX2s, and FWG5s before I left on deployment and listed them up for between 40 and 60k.
I get so/so business, being new. I have 2 shops. One outside Cnet, and one outside MO.
My profit is helped by guildies getting the loot stuff for me. They need a weapon, they bring me the good stuff and I keep what I don't use, then put it in more guns and sell them. Great help from my guild <NRA>.

900s on PHs is lousy. Are your components that bad? My non enhanced power hammers hit 1030 and on wanderhome they sell for only 8K. BTW My Ws is only a 10 point.

What's your sac though? I would rather have 950ish 100 SAC hammer than a 1030 120 sac hammer.

Hmmm, with my loot components, I was only able to pull off a 989 85 sac last night.
used -13 cubes and a 21 paste to hit that.

Historically I have made TONS of really good top quality non enhanced guns. I've got a list that tracked my sales from last year around july to present, I'll have to dig up those numbers. Today though I don't sell as much cause I don't stock as much. Really I sell 3-4 models, Fwg5, Scatter, Laser Rifle, Elite carbine. All use pre-cu parts and I charge 200k+ for them. I've started buying up some enhancers and will see about making some enhanced for sale but my huge fortune came a litte at a time not from 5 mil weapons.
The SAC on mine are always very close to 100. I figure that once I get the damage to the mid 900s, I use the rest of my pts to efficiency. Almost everyone is grinding these days and when I get into groups, a lot of people use high action cost specials, so I try and keep my SAC as low as I can with every weapon.
I go for Damage, and SAC, then recommend speed slices.
